GoodRoads Honestly Acquired, Honestly Administered

Believing, unreservedly in the general proposition
|of good roads and desiring aid and cooperate, in
every way possible, in the construction and mainten
|ance of same, in Clearwater county, and particularly
in the Orono Highway District and further, feeling
the necessity and realizing the wisdom of raising suf
ficent funds by bonding otherwise, to make pos
sible the construction of standard highways on an ex
tensive SCALE is felt by vast majority of the voters
and tax payers of the said Orofino Highway District
that they not opposed to carrying on this work
by the existing Orofno Highway District if conduct
led under the following general conditions towit:
l. That there shall be clear-cu and amicable ad-
|justment between the newly created Grangemont
Highway District and the Orofino Highway District,
in order that expensive and delaying litigation may
be avoided.
e. That the present Board of Commissioners of
the Orofino Highway District shall resign in order
that Board of Highway Commissioners may be
chosen by the majority of the voters of the said
Orofno Highway District.
Among other reasons for our refusal to support the
proposed measures under the present administration we
cite the facts that large sbeng incurred for
clerical administrative work. that payment is refused
warrants taken in good faith and to all appearances
valid and technically correct that the books of the dis

LEAGUE HAS UPSET MEXICO
The Election of President Friendly
to United States Seems to
Be Assured.

Chicago, April 3O.-Chicago bust
ness men who recently returned from
a survey of conditions in the interior
of Mexico are practically unanimous
in the belief that the peace conference,
by CHASING Mexico among the outlaw
nations of the world, has upset the
political situation in that country and
written fms after the name Of Car
rama.
Many believe the development as
sures the election of Gen. AlYaro
Oregon or Gen. Radio Gonzales, or
Felix PaIavicini, editor of Ell Univer-
sale Both generals have been con-
sidered friendly to the United States
and Ell Universale was consistently
pro-Ally during the war. The new
president would not take office for
year. Others subscribe to the belief
of one Of the oldest of the consular
agents in Latin-American service that
Carranza has fallen and cannot last
out his term.

ADO FOUR MORE TO COUNCIL
Belgium, Brazil, Greece and Spain to
Act With Big FiVe-Drummond
First Secretary.

Paris, April 29-The revised cove
nant of the league of nations was
adopted by the plenaTy session OF the
peace conference this afternoon with
out division and without amendment.
The covenant had been moved by
President Wilson
Italy was not represented at the ses-
sion, but the name of Italy appears as
one of the members of the league in
the covenant as finally adopted. Nine
labor principles were adopted for in
sertion in the treaty
The session adjourned without con-
.jdering the report on responsibilities
ro9iding for the trial of the former
German emperor by five judges from
the great powers. This report was
handed in by the council Of four and
embOdies in the peace treaty a provi-
sion of the former emperor's prosecu-
ton. This, however, has not as yet
been adopted by the plenary confer
ence.
The pIenary session of the peace
conference opened at O'Clock this af-
ternoon in. the French foreign office
under circumstances of unusual in
terest because of the fact that it was
to be one Of the last sessions before
the meeting with the German dele
gates at Versailles.
Presentation of the amended league
Of nations covenant by President VIII
son marked the opening Of the ses-
sion The president then explained
the various alterations.
The president moved that the pow
ers name representatives to form a
committee OF nine to prepare plans
to organize the league and establish
the seat of the league.
Regarding the composition Of the
executive council, the president said
that Belgium, Brazil, Greece and Spain
would be represented on the council
in addition to the five great powers,
until a permanent choice had been
made.
Mr.. Wilson said that Sir Eric Drum
mond of Great Britain had been
named as the first secretary general
of the league.
The japanese and French amend.
ments were withdrawn and it is under
stood that they have been left for de-
cision by the league of nations itself.
M. Clemenceau announced the with
drawaI of the amendments and Presf
dent Wilson's proposal that the cove
nant of the league of nations be
adopted was carried. There was not
more than moments pause in honor
of the creation of the league Of nations,
the conference then proceeding with
the regular programme.

rations. No bad effects have been
noted from this feed, either in the eggs
or in the condition of the fowls, and
the hens eat it freely. The ration fol-
lows:
Scratch Mixture Dry Mash
pound cracked corn ? pounds cottonseed
L pound wheat meal
I pound oats pounds beef scrap
pounds bran
pounds middlings
9 pounds corn meal
The scratch mixture is fed sparingly
so that the hens eat about equal parts
Of this mixture and Of the dry mash.
A large per cent of cottonseed meal
in a dry mash without any beef scrap
has not given satisfactory results. Pull
lets fed a ration with 80 per cent cot
tOnseed meal averaged only 1872 eggs
apiece in one year. A considerable
per cent Of these eggs had discolOred
yOlks, with green or brownish-green
spots, making them unfit for market.
These results appear to indicate that
cottonseed meal can be fed ar the rate
OF about 10 per cent OF the mash, or
per cent Of the total ration, with an
equal per cent Of beef scrap with ex-
cellent results. In sections where cot
tonseed meal is produced, half Of the
beef scrap in the mash apparently can
be replaced by cottonseed meal with
excellent results.
