Road Board, with headquarters at
London. circular outlining their
road and bridge program for 1919
and 1920.
This program was sent out - all
local road authorities under date of
Dec II, 1918, and states that in view
of the signing Of the armistice the
government is prepared to assume
road work on a larger scale than
ever before. The circular states that
the Government has already made
available ten million pounds (ffty
million dollars) for distribution
among the various localities. accord
outlined. One very interesting
statement is that all allotments
standing to the credit Of the local
road units in 1914 when war was de-
clared have been held and are now
available for expenditure.
Local authorities are urged to rec
ommend for first consideration only
the main roads which carry the heav-
test motor traffic, and that these Dads
be brought to a first class state Of
repair just as quickly as possible.
The statement is also made that

but also pivotal men whose services
will be essential for the improvement
Of the road program.
In commenting upon the circular
Mr.. Sargent stated that the interest
ing features were that several bills
are now before the Congress Of the
United States asking for similar
legislation, that is to say, increased
federal appropriation, which will re-
suit in increased activity in road
work partly as a bridge to tide over
conditions between war and peace
times, just as is stated in the Road
Boards circular. There is also 4
bill now before Congress directing the
Secretary Of War to turn over to the
secretary Of Agriculture for distr-
button among the states, all motor
trucks and road building equipment
which were purchased by the govern
ment for war uses. 1t appears that
Great Britain has beaten us in this
important step toward the rcsuming

POSTERS VS.. NEWSPAPERS.

IT costs cents to put up poster anywhere,
whether you put it up or whether you pay
someone to put it up. The government last
year, in advertising the Fourth Liberty Loan,
spent either in money or donated labor $50O,OOO
to put up Liberty Loan posters. If they had
taken that $5OO,OO0 and spent it in the newspa-
pers of the United States it would have done
the Fourth Liberty Loan and the United States
itself great deal more good.
"You may gather from that that am in favor
of newspaper advertising, and certainly am.
believe that page space in newspaper has more
influence upon its readers than even the editorial
does. An advertisement signed by reputable
house carries more conviction to the mind of the
reader for the simple reason that he or she rea-
sons that if you did not believe in it, you would
not pay your good money to tell your story to
the people."-By Wilbur D. Nesbit.

HELLO.

With clamp on her head like cage for her hair,
She sits all the day on a stiff little chair
And she answers the calls that come over the wire
From people of patience and people of ire;
And "Number?" she queries of noble or churl-
wonderful voice has the telephone girl.
She has to be pleasant, and hustling and keen,
With a temper unruffied and ever serene
There are forty-fve things she must think of
at once,
Or someone impatient will call her Ounce,
It's wearisome work on the nerves and the brain,
Continual hurry, continual strain.
And of course she gets tired-as other folks do
And needs to be thoughtfuly treated by you;
So think of her doing her best mid the whirl,
And try to be white to the telephone girl.

Dairymen Who

Dairymen in the United States are
divided into three classe- those who
ultimately fail and abandon the busi-
ness; those who exc out limited ex-
istence; and those who succeed. In
variably, the success of the progress
sive dairyman is principally due to
the quality of his cows. He climbs
to freedom from financial worry on
the backs of big producers.

THE FARMERS LAUGHED.

wv YHEN the house took up Frank E. MIN
M ocks' bill asking congress to place a
W partial embargo on food exports yes
terday Frank E. Miner, the socialist member
from Minneapolis, seized the opening for speech.
He told the house that an embargo probably
would make no difference in prices, any more
than the governments action in releasing food
stuffs, so long the present system is in yog le
and then he extended recognition to the farmers
as members of the working class" He Hoped
for the time, he said, when the farmer would
come to realize that he is just workingman
with title to piece of land.
Farmer members of the house, especially the
Nonpartisan contingent, pricked up their ears.
They were interested.
Then Mr. Miner skidded. He said that the food
problem would never be settled until farmers
come to realize that workingmen should not Ia
Dor for long hours, and limit days labor every
where to eight hours. Then, he said, the produc-
ers will consume what they produce, the world
over.
Loud laughter from farmer members inter-
rupted Mr. Miner, but the Nonpartisans did not
join in it. That universal eight hour day is a
hard thing for them to explain to farmers, when
they are urging the mutual interests of farmers
and city workers.
The house killed the resolution, on the plea
that it would be a blow to the farming interests
to restrict exports of food products Charles B

If we were a Redwood County farmer and had
a perfectly dandy farm with good house and a
fellow with wad of greenbacks big enough to
choke cow came along and offered US about a
hundred dollars more than we ever expected to
get for every acre in that blessed old farm, we
have hunch we'd think to ourselves, "Well, If
it is worth that much to him it is worth that
much to us to keep" We think we'd think that
way, and straightway sic the dog on him and his
roll But maybe we wouldn't-we've never been
fortunate enough to have a farm like that so
possibly we can't Judge. But there are sure go
