Federal ROAD BILL
HAS NEW FEATURES

States where road work has been
retarded in the past because Of a
large percentage of area held as
public domain, and those which have
already developed their main trunk
line highways, will alike be COM
pensated by the government under
the terms of the Townsend bill, re-
Gently reintroduced before congress
by Charles E. Townsend, United
States senator from Michigan.
Senator Townsend first introduced
his measure before the last session
OF congress. Since that time con-
structive criticisms received from all
parts Of the country have been en-
bodied in the bill by the senator
with the result that aside from the
fundamental principles of national
highway system, federal highway
commission and a study of the prin-
ciples of transportation and adequate
appropriations, the two measures
have little in common.
\ In addition to provisions already
mentioned the new measure embod-
les these points
States the area Of which contains
public domain are entitled to more
mileage of roads than the wealthier
states.
States which have already done
much work on main trunk line sys-
TENS will be recompensed by con-
struction of an equivalent mileage Of
lateral roads. In such cases as these
the government will not assume title
to these roads, but will turn them
over to the state when completed,
taking over instead the main trunk
lines and providing for their future
maintenance as in all main trunk

in Oregon on which dwell about $500
Indians. In addition, there are 5000

Beekeeping for Soldiers.

Because successful beekeeping

to give II, bee specialists of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture are devoting their efforts to
developing better beekeepers of those
now in the work rather than make
more beekeepers. There is one out

he was engaged before entering the
Army. The Government, thru the
Federal Board for Vocational Edu-
cation, offers disabled men training
in whatever line OF work they decide
upon for re-education. To give
some of them an opportunity to see
the advantages in beekeeping, the
Bureau of Entomology of the Depart
ment recently invited some Of the
boys from the Walter Reed Hospl-
tai lin Washington to the new bee
culture laboratory in Somerset, Nd.
Talks were given on the life history
of bees and on the requirements OF
successful beekeepers, and demon
strations weile held in handling bees.
A few of the men who had gone he
roically thru gas attacks and
barrage fire took to the bushes when
they were handed frames on which
bees were busily at work Others
bravely went into the apiary without
wells and removed honey from the
hives. Perhaps the most interesting
part of the afternoon for the more
timid men came after the honey was
in a bucket. With hot biscuits and
coffee served by the women of the
local Red Cross unit, a large guam
tity Of honey wac consumed.
While the commercial beekeeper
needs to be in fine physical condi-
,tion to do his best, the bee specialist
points out that 1t remains true that
the most important part OF a bee
keeper is the part above his neck
There are already more beekeepers
pthan are needed-10 times over, per-
haps-but it is true that 10 times

ers are needed. they add.

Little skim MIX Thrown Away.

Apparently very little skim milk
was thrown away by milk dealers
last year. The United States De.
paftment of Agriculture recently

Boston, Philadelphia, Detroit, and

Only one dealer reported throwing
away any considerable quantity oi

Learn Sewing in Railway Station.


Arizona women are hustlers, II
those who attend the clothing
schools held in that state are typi-
cal examples. These clothing schools
are conducted by the home demon
stration agents under the direction
of the United States Department OF
Agriculture and the State college.
The women who attend them are
taught various phases Of dressmak-
ing and millinery. Such a school
was recently held at Salmarita, Ariz.
The waiting room at the railway sta
ton was the only available place to
meet. Before it could be used, the
walls and floors needed a thorC
scrubbing and they were given 1t by
the committee in charge. Three ma
clfines and two work tables were in
stalled and 22 women came for in
struction the first afternoon. The
amount of work accomplished dur.
ing the entire week by those in at
tendance was 4 surprise to the home
demonstration agent and the com
mittee in charge. One woman, in
the three days she attended, made a
voile dress, gingham dress, a skirt
(from old materially, a hat, and a
baby cap. While doing this, she
also minded the baby she had
brought with her. When the young
ster grew restless, she ran her sew
ing machine with one foot and rolled
the baby carriage back and forth
with the other. All during her work,
she sang a Dutch lullaby to the baby.

Milk Popular for Lunches.


Drink more milk-a healthful
food as well as drinks the slogan
ADVOCATED in an educational cam
paign now being conducted by the
Dairy Division of the United States
Department of Agriculture Lee
lures, demonstrations. charts, and
moving pictures are being used to
teach the food value Of milk and the
work is carried to all classes and ma
tionalities of people in all parts of
the country. Recently In Bridge
port, Conn, two milk specialists in
one day spoke before five meetings;
two audiences we're colored, one was
Lithuanian, one slavonic, and one
Greek and American mixed-1,600
people in all.

tory employing 1,4OO men has re-
Gently introduced the plan Of permit
ting milk vendors to go thru the
plant at 10 and o'clock each day
with sweet milk and buttermilk. The
most of the men buy pint each
time. The foreman stated that since
the drinking of milk has become so
popular with the men not only is
their efficiency improved. but they
are more contented and even tenn
pered.
I Specialists are giving lectures in
many large department stores, and
explain that a glass of cool milk is
not only refreshing on a hot day but
also furnishes a definite amount OF
nourishment.
in New Haven, Conn.,, the manager
of one department store had posters
made entitled why we should
Ndrink milk" and sold six milk tick
cts for 25 cents to the employees, no
attempt being made to show a profit
on the sales. Half-pint bottles Of
milk were distributed to the clerks
in the middle of forenoon and after.
noon. Straws were furnished with
each bottle of milk, as the manager
believes that too often people drink
milk too fast, causing bodily dis
comfort. f

gether.
Farmers on the Belle Fourche
Minidoka and Shoshone reclamation
projects are engaging in the coopera-
tive marketing of wool in their re.
spective localities under the direc.
tion Of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. The plan OF
concentrating the sradedl wool at
central points, where it is readily
accessible to the buyers, assures bet
ter prices and larger net profits ia
the producers. Flock owners are
paying from II to 29 cents head
for machine shearing, an average Of
habout 81 cents being common. A
few years ago the cost Of machine
shearing was only about 10 cents O
head, This increase of over 200
per cent is notable as another rea-
son why woolen clothes cost so much.
