Mr. Ewing tells of an experience
he had last year in the Albion high
way district, where strip of road
was to be built and only $4,000
could be obtained for it. The money
was raised and the road built last
year, but had the district waited un-
til this year it would have had $780,
900 instead of $4,000 for building
the road, as the new ruling would
have given the district as much from
the postal road funds as the district
furnished. "That district could have
we'll afforded to have put it's $685.
900 in the bank and let it lay there
for a year, in order to obtain the
$4,000 from the post road aid fund.-"
said Mr.. Ewing.
The same applies to the work on
the highways of Latah county. If
they can get as much from the gov
ernment as the county, district or
st3te puts into the highways that are
used for carrying mail or that connect
two routes used for carrying mail, it
will pay them well to wait, even if
they have to wait until next year,
which is not likely.
The federal ruling providing for
assistance in building roads used in
whole or in part for carrying mail,
which was adopted March 8, 1919, is
here given in full:
Under the Federal Aid Road Act
as amended, any public road that
comes within any of the following
classes is eligible for Federal Aid.
L. Any public road major por-
tion of which is used for the transpor-
tation of the U. S. mails at the time
application for Federal aid is made.
(The major portion" may consist of
a single stretch or several parts);
or
2. Any public road which can, by
reasonable construction or improve
authorities, be put into such condi-
tion as to permit the use thereof for
transporting the United States mails;
or
3. Any public road no part of
which is used for the transportation
of the U. S. mails at the time applica-
tion for Federal aid is made, pro-
vided it is not more than ten miles
in length and forms connecting link
(cross link between two roads used
for transporting the United States
mails at the time such application is
made; or
a. Any public road no part of
which is used for transporting the
U. S. mails at the time the applica-
ton for Federal aid is made, pro-
vided it does not exceed ten miles in
length and connects the end of road
with the beginning of another road
over both of which the us. mails are
being transported at the time of such

THE MARKETING AND UTILI-
ZATION OF CUT-OVER LAND

At this period of reconstruction
and postwar readjustment two Sc
rious problems are confronting the
American people. On the one hand
we have the enormous problem OF
supplying food stuffs to a starving
world and on the other, the perplex-
ing problem Of unemployment and IN
dustrial unrest. In a measure, our
unreclaimed swamp, arid and cut
over lands may offer partial solution
to both problems.
During the near future, at least, the
world will demand a practically un-
limited quantity of food stuffs from
us, and we are now admonished, al
though the war is over as far as the
actual combat is concerned, that 1t IS
not over as far as it is related to the
saving Of food. Not only our allies,
but even our enemies, are now IN need
of our food production in excess OF
what is capable of being produced.
Even after the wounds of war have
been healed, the demand upon the SOIL
Of America will not cease and, as
time goes on, our constantly increas-
ing population, which has risen from
10000 in 1900 to approximately
100000 at the present time, Will
call for an er-enlarging food sup
ply. This demand must be partially
net by drawing harder and harder on
our new land. At the present time,
in spite of our colossal industrial de-
velopment, we are primarily an ag--
ricultural nation and this successful
agriculture constitutes the verv foun-
dation Of our prosperity. With the

CONDENSED MILK FOR
LITTLE SICILIANS

The problem Of caring for the babies
of Sicily was one which the Red Cross
workers were almost at loss to solv ;
until the shipment Of sweetened COM
densed milk came to their rescue A
can Of condensed milk would last a
baby a week, for one spoonful, put in i
cup of boiling water, was sufficient for
q feeding, and so, to many Sicilian
family the terms '.America" and "con-
densed milk" will always be synony>
nous,
Last February a list of fifty families
of Italian soldiers was given to the
Red Cross workers in Italy. The fam
lilies were carefully investigated and
registered and the milk was given to
them for the little children, especially
the babies. Mothers came for the cans
and were grateful beyond expression.
But with the coming OF warm
weather it was necessary to give out
the milk daily, as it would not keep
sweet. The mothers brought their
own containers and the milk was pre-
pared sugar added, and they were in
structed carefully as to It's use. Abso-
lutte cleanliness Of receptacles was in
sisted upon, and the homes were Wis
tied in order to make sure that the
milk rations were being backed by
healthful conditions
Aside from the saving Of the lives OF
the children, the soldiers are happier
and they are better soldiers now that
they know that their loved ones are
being cared for by the Crossa Rosa.

The cold weather Of the past two

this winter old Boreas got his grip

No. 8 last night was frozen up at
Sanborn for a long time and No. 1
over the high line was several hours
late. On the CooperstoWn branch the
road was blocked between Coopers-
town and McHenry and it was neces-
sary to send up pillow to open that
road up. The cold weather and high
wind makes it hard to keep up steam
