CHEAP FOOD NO MORE

City bosses who are waiting for
2O-cent eggs and 30-cent butter and
Accent corn and 25-cent bacon, SO
that they cnn cut wages to the pre-
war level, are due for a long, long
wait.
Do you know what kept food prices
low in this country for so years?
1t was the farmer with the strong
back and the weak head.
What gave townsmen scent a
quart milk for 20 years?
Hordes OF farmers, not dairymen
who were willing to bury their nose
III the flank of COW for five hours
before the rest of the world yawped
And bury said nose for a bare liv-
ing.
What gave US ascent corn?
A horde of farmers, and their sons,
and often their daughters. who were
willing to work from dawn to dusk
in the fields, regardless Of what price
their harvest might bring.
The farmers, until recently. con-
sidered it their Job to raise all the
foodstuffs they could, whether they
broke even or not was quite imma-
terial, 30 long as their fields bore as
vigorously as did those of their neigh
bors!
In short. it was-a countryside pride
to work your head of because your
neighbor did, and to leave the ques-
tion of your reward to the city buy
ers, and commission men. and pack
ers.
Never again. for the American
farmer.
II the city worker has woke up.

DEAD CAR WATER PUMP
NEED NOT END JOURNEY

In case the pump of the water
system goes out of business while
the car is on the road 1t Is still pos-
Sible to get home without trouble by
filling the cooling system full of
fresh water and then running on high
gear with the spark well advanced.
Also shut off the ignition on down
grades and coast. In case signs of
overheating develop, drain the sys-
tenn and refill 1t with fresh water.

Federal Highways
Opposition Gone

when President Wilson, July IL,
1916, approved the Federal Aid Road
act, and a consequent Federal ap-
preparation of $85.0OO.000, says
President David Jameson of the
American Automobile Association,
1.-The long controversy over the con-
stitutionality of Federal highway ap-
propriations, for all practical pur-
poses, was settled. Congress again.
in the closing days of the recent ses-
sion, by another appropriation Of
5000 100000. emphasized the laying
away of this question of constitu-
tional powers. Its further discussion
must, therefore, be classed as aca-
demic.
when forty-eight states assented
thru their legislatures to the Federal
highway measure, they buried that
further disturber known as states
rights SO far as 1t had any bearing
upon Federal participation in high
way Improvement. Any National high
way act, the benefits OF which may
ture assents to the Federal measure,
successfully meets any contention
that the Federal government is in
vading the rights of the state.
"Those who view with alarm see
in the building of a system Of Federal
highways by the Federal government
an unlimited invitation to states and
counties to make raid on the Ma
tional treasury and an indiscriminate
scramble to have, all highways in
cluded in the Federal system.
''These alarmists' views take no
account of the fact that a national
highway system would be based upon
the fundamental premise that only
main highways meeting given
standard of Importance and limited
to a given percentage of the total
mileage would be included in the
Federal system. They overlook the
fact that the Federal measure could
call upon the states to build an equiv
alent mileage of secondary roads to
form an automatic check upon the
demands for Federal appropriations.
They overlook the further fact that
with a Federal system probably not
exceeding 2 percent of the total mile
age, the states, in view of the enor-
nous requirements Of local traffic.
could not adopt any policy Of folding
arms and waiting while they neglect
ed the other 98 percent.
Except for the amusement of
those who love to argue these ques-
tions of 'constitutionality.' states
rights pork BARREL and 'paternal-
ism.' they may be considered as laid
on the shelf. The Federal govern
ment is committed to appropriations
for highways; the state governments
are in accord with an active Federal
policy; the only question OF real i'm
portance relates to the form in which
the Federal highway policy can most
practically benefit the Nation"
