 From Frank I. Bennett, state direc- tor of public works. comes the defi- nite assurance that 654 miles of trunk line' roads comprised in the group to be built with federal aid will be under contract before July.

Mesa Regulars Go Down in Defeat

The Mesa baseball team went down to defeat yesterday before picked team garnered here and there from the host of Al material scattered around here; to 1 stood the score at the end of an eight-inning game. The original seven innings was heightened out one notch in the hope that Mesa , pride and glory might not meet ig- noble defeat but all in vain. Their harps are hanging on the willows, and the fans are the only happy folks in town, for. as much as they love their own, they enjoyed to the utmost the nice licking handed them yesterday. Oviedo pitched for Mesa, while Shum- way, the regular catcher, was also on the job. Gill, lately returned from France, where he twirled the sphere for an army team. pitched for the All Stars and famed man after man. The catcher was West, who, old time vet eran that he is crawled out from the of his little cage at the Salt River Valley bank and caught an err rorless game.
 Dixon, manager for She Mesa regu- lars, is some wise guy. He sized up the two teams and deliberately walked out to left field and played with the All stars. Lush, the regular pitcher, knows when to stop, so when he fig ured out the problem, although it had been announced that he woud pitch, put on some colored glasses and made inquiries for an occulist, while he watched his team hammered into gib- lets by a lot of pickups around town. We'll, one thing was revealed yester- day, viz: that Mesa. with the aid of three or four Tempe men who helped out, can line up two teams that will make anything in the state look trif-

PREVENTION OF TYPHOID

Estate Health Dept BullAtinI
Time after time tn" attention of
people has been called to the fact
that typhoid fever is one of the
most destructive of our common di-
scascs. It Is also one OF the most
thoroughly preventable. Bat pco-
pie do not seem to understand this
and the fact must be- emphasized
again and again.
The easiest, the most practical
and the most thorough Safeguard
against typhoid is typhoid Vaccine.

Value of Vac"inat ion.
There was one grca: reason for
this. In former y.irS vaccination
against typhoid fever had lr"n nm
known: in this war every soldier was
vacCinated. 1t is tru, that other pre-
cautions werc taken, especially by
the American Government. The ut
most care was taken in guarding the
food and water of the soldiers and in
seeing that conditions were made rs
sanitary and hygienic as possible,
But the great factor in preventing
typhoid was vaccination.

New Stamps Offered.

Post-offices and other official agencies
throughout the country are now offering
the 1919 War Savings Stamps.
Official records show that the country
is not suffering from scarcity of money.
Last December the per capita circulation
in the United States reached $56.23
smashing all former records. Within the
year the stock of money in the United
States increased 81, 595, 1886. giving the
country the greatest investing strength
ever enjoyed. AS evidence of the thrift
habit the national banks have reported
an increase in deposits for 1918 of more
than $370,0O0,000 over the highest figure
previously attained.
War Savings Stamps mature at full face
,, value in five years. They may be convert
ed into cash, however, at the will of the
holder, and since they pay 4 per cent in
terest, compounded quarterly, they make
an investment of rare value, so much so,
in fact, that the government limits the
amount which one purchaser can hold to
$1,000. The stamps are to help pay for
the war. The armistice ended hostilities
but did not settle the bills. The Treasury
Department has appealed, and is appeal
ing, Ito the people to show their continu.
ed loyalty by buying War Savings Stamps
and by holding the them. The Treasury
Department when stamps are sold, ex.
poets the use of the money for five years
and has issued special request to the
people of the nation not to redeem their
stamps until maturity except in cases Of
the most urgent necessity.

Meeting Of the Tenth Grade
(Contributed)

The members of the tenth grade had a
class meeting Feb. 26, 1919. The objects
of this meeting were to elect new officers
for the remainder of this school year,
and to discuss some very important mat
tiers to be afforded Immediately.
Mamie West, the vice.president, acted
as president as our president has quit
school. The officers elected are Carl
Coley. president, Caroline Covington vice
president, Florence Covington secretary,
and George Guthrie treasurer.
After these officers we're elected, presi-
dent Carl Coley took the chair, thanking
the grade asa whole in behalf of his fel-
low officers for bestowing these honors on
them. The class knows that they have
elected very efficient boys and girls to
attend to the business matters of the
class, and we know that we can rely
upon them in any way necessary. We
as class thank them for giving us the
honor of having them serve us.
1t was then suggested that we should
have committee to keep our class room
in order and decorate it, when the occas-
ion called for such; we already have some
very pretty flowers, thanks to Joe Ed
wards, and Miss Finley; we decided to
get curtains to make our room look
much more attractive. The girls will
make these curtains in sewing class by
the aid of Miss Boddie.
We have decided as class to do our
best in the three months to come. 1t
will be necessary to have meeting once
every week to keep up with the business
of the class We want to be and are a
class of united enthusiastic workers and
we also want to prove to the faculty our
many qualities no matter how little they
are. .....

and for the production of oil and meal
have brought about greatly increased
prices. The seed of the best varieties
of soy beans is selling for $3.50 to 81
per bushel of 60 pounds. AS the mer-
its of the crop are better appreciated,
the demand is not likely to diminish.
Utilizing soy-bean seed as feed is dis
tinctly profitable. In addition to the
value of the seed, the benefit to the
land on which the beans have been
grown and the use of the thrashed
vines as source of feed must be TAX
en- into consideration.
The average yields of soy-bean seed
to the acre in various sections of the
United States range from about Is
bushels in the northern states to about
% bushels in the northern part of the
Gotten belt. The average yield in east
ern North Carolina, the largest seed
producing section in the country, is
about % bushels, although many fields
produce 80 bushels or more to the acre.
Maximum yields of 80 bushels'to the
acre have been reported from North

BIG GAIN IN POTATO YIELD
Production Per Acre Is Thirty.Six Per
Cent Higher Than That of
Twenty Years Ago.

prepared by me United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
The yield of potatoes per acre is
gradually increasing in this country.
as shown by the records of the bureau
of crop estimates of the United States
department of agriculture. During
1S66-1S74 the average annual yield per
acre was 81 bushels, but the average
markedly declined to 71.3 bushels in
1sS5-1S94. Perceptible recovery was
made in the following ten-year period
and much larger recovery, rising
to Il new high-water mark, was reach
ed in 1905-1914, with it's average yield
Of 81 bushels per acre.
In 20 years the productivity of the
average potato acre increased SO per
cent. This increase is due to various
causes, among which are greater spe-
cialization of production, more inten-
sive treatment, and higher fertility of
the soil. The ten-year average yield
Of 81 bushels per acre in 1905-1914
was followed by 96.3 bushels in 1915,
5O.5 bushels in the very low year 1916,
and 100.S bushels in 1917.
Compared with population, the yield
OF potatoes per acre declined from
1S66-1774 to 1905-1914. The gain of
production per capita in recent years
has been more because of increased
acreage than because of increased pro-
duction per acre.
