Explanation Is Simple.

THE explanation of this develop
ment is exceedingly simple and con-
sists mainly in the fact that we now
utilize for passengers and freight
road vehicles which disregard county
subdivisions and state lines. There
must be a distribution of highways
authority among the several subdivi-
sions. In our own councils we have
repeatedly discussed the proposition
that there should be no smaller unit
than the county, which would mean
county roads, then state roads, and,
finally, federal roads.
"On the way to federal system, we
are following out a partnership with
the several states by which equal
amounts of federal and state money
are spent in the creation of state sys-
tens. This was preceded by joint
arrangement between the state and
its counties. until finally the state in
many instances has taken over the
main market roads. Exactly the same
thing is certain to result from the
present federal and state cooper
alton, and this is fundamentally set
forth in the bill just introduced by
Senator Charles E. Townsend of Mich
igan, the probable chairman of the
Senate committee on post offices and
post roads in the next Congress. The
measure introduced by him calls for
federal highway system which will
provide not less than two main trunk
line roads in each state and joining
the federal highway system in the ad-
jacent states and countries

At no past time in the history of

is evidenced by these measures, and

Many Huge Appropriations.
Early estimates placed the total
amount which would be expended by
states and nation in 1919 at s300 900, =
900. Since that time the United States
Senate has acted favorably upon a
bill providing for an increase of $780,
100000 in the federal aid act of which
$50, 100000 is made immedia tely avail
able and another s15,000,o0 added in
the hScal year beginning July l of
the present year. The remainder of it
is set aside for 1920-192I This meas
ure is now awaiting final action in the
House.

oeing an acceptance of the lower

Alabama wants s1e,000,eO0 and Utah

In Michigan an intensive campaign

state out of the mud, and if a com
piete chart could be made it could
probably be shown that every state in
the Union is contemplating increases
of one kind or another.
Not all of these sums will be avail
able this year of course. Most of the
larger appropriations have been
made with a view of setting up com
plete highway systems which will
necessarily require longer periods
than a mere twelve month. Surveys
will have to be made to determine
where roads should be built what
types they should be, and in general
broad policies will have to be laid
down to provide for economic and
scientific expenditure of these sums

If the lint is credited at 40 cents a
pound the net profit would be nearly
$500 an acre.
Mr.. Ward was very conservative in
estimating all cf the cost items. The
calcium arsenate used cost 1915 and
the other charges were, labor $3.50,
use of machine $1.00 and picking of
extra yield 1929, giving total cost
of $16.54. The yield on the poisoo-
ed acre was i, ,455 pounds of seed cot
ton, while the yield on the check acre
next to it was 1926, an increase of
329 pounds. The increase in yield
was more than 20 per cent.
Three applications of poison were
used on cotton on the farm of Bryant
Davis at Ashburn and with an expen-
diture of $500 for poison and labor,
a net profit of Split per acre was
realized. Two demonstrations on the
farm of l C. Williams, at Cordele,
gave a profit of $4.53 from an expen-
diture of S788 on one acre and on
another profit Of $1.31 from an ex-
penditure of $7.59.

WILL NOT MAKE YOU SICK

Any doctor will tell you that if you
will keep your Liver, Kidneys and
Blood in good condition, the rest of
your system will take care of itself,
The liver, kidneys and blood do not
function independently, but rely one
upon the other, and what upsets one
will upset the others.
Therefore, when you get half sick
with symptoms of disordered liver,
you are only treating a third of your
trouble when you treat your liver
alone. What you need is something
that will not only set the liver right,
but also regulate the kidneys and
purify the blood.

SIXTY EIGHTH REGIMENT
 NOW AT FORT HAMILTON

The 68th regiment was landed at HobOken, N. J., Saturday afternoon With the 6Sth is Capt. c. Hadlai Hull of New London, son of Maor Hadlai A. Hull. Major Hull said Monday morning that the regiment was sent immediately to Camp Mills, L. l., and Sunday morning word was received in New London that the regiment would probably be sent to Fort Wright, N. r, for demobilization.
 However, Major Hull said that later in the day he received word from his son that the orders had been changed and the regiment was transferred from Camp Mills to Fort Hamilton, N. Y. That is their present location and while orders may come at any time for some other designation of the regi- ment, it is now anticipated that the regiment will remain at Fort Hamilton until demo bilization.
 Aside from Captain Hull, there are number of other eastern Connecticut men in this regiment, all of whom are awaiting their discharge from the ser vice.
