TO SPEND $500, 900 ON
STATES ROADS IS PLAN

Helena, Nov. 3.-During 1920 the
available road building equipment of
the state and all available labor will
be used by the state highway commits
sion and contracts let for a program
of construction which contcmplates
expenditure of nearly $5,500,C0O, 1900
miles of road and of nearly $4,000
on streets in towns of Montana. This
program will be taken up at the an
nual meeting of the members of the
commission.
The program is deemed urgent as
a federal statute places a time limit
in which states must avail themselves
of the provision and it is also recog-
nized that there is a. limit to the ca
pacity of the contractors and coan-
ties equipment.
In designing the program efforts
have been made to provide an cquit-
able distribution of work among all
counties, which applied for federal aid
on recognized projects.
The program for Lewis and Clark
includes construction of a total of -
miles of road at an estimated cost of
100000, nine miles on the Helena
Bozeman road at a cost of 5000 and
ten miles on the Rimini- TENN road
at a cost of $4,000, It is far below
many other counties and includes no
new highways.
Estimated costs of projects in some
other counties and the number of road
miles on the program for next year
are:
Hill, $109, 1850, 40 miles; jefferson,
$4,000, IS miles; Missoula, $262, 900,
26 IL miles; Musselshell, $165, 600, 60
miles; Park, $199,85O, 4S miles; Rich
land, 100000, 100 miles; Rosebud,
l 1876, 81 miles; Saltwater, $780,
900, SO miles Contingent upon SUI
preme court decision); Teton, SPAS, 900,
60 miles.

PROHIBITION INCREASES
CANDY CONSUMPTION

The popularity of candy following
upon the prohibition of liquor prompts
n editor to say that John Barley
stick is taking the place of John Bar
leycorn.
There is one outstanding cause for
the shortage of sugar and that is
prohibition. One billion more pounds
as against the same period last year
have been consumed by the people of
the United States this year.
Statistics furnished by the food ad-
ministration show that the past year
has witnessed a tremendous increase
in the consumption of candy, ice cream
and CONNECTIONS in which sugar is an
ingredient.
Because Of inaction of the govern
ment in the matter of purchasing Gu
ban sugar crop which is accepted in
trade circles as foretelling a serious
shortage in sugar owe the country,
great pressure is being exerted by
western wholesalers to capture the
beet sugar crop of the west. The SUI
gar companies, however, are desir-
u of keeping the price as low as pos
sible. With the probability of a short
age under present conditions they are
not happy over the prospects.
They have adopted the plan of dis
tributing supplies among as many GUS
toners as possible in an effort to
make the most equitable apportion-
ment of available stocks. In this way
they hope to reduce boarding and to
regulate competition. Western beet
sugar producers are to be commended
for their position in this matter.

placed coins Of different values. Then
the dolls are set on fire and flung into
the street, with the hope that the dis
ease will be transferred to the one
who picks up the coins.
All over Korea the straw workers
can be seen plying their trade. De-
spite the useful articles they make
the return in money is very small.
Even in the busiest. seasons the most
they can earn is but a few cents a
day. Fifteen to twenty cents for a
days labor is considered a fine return
by these humble workers. Earning
so little, one is amazed at their gen.
crosby to the church when they learn
the "Jesus way" Foremost among
the givers are the straw workers.
A year or so G there was built
in one of the rural sections of Korea
a church and mission house to the
value of seven hundred American dol
lars. Almost one-half of the amount
was contributed by the straw workers
of the section.-The Visitor.

Y. W. c. A. OPENS HOSTEL
NEAR ARMY CEMETERY

Paris.-Weary and travel-worn wo-
men, mostly mothers and wives, are
arriving daily in ROMANCE, a small
French village, on a pilgrimage to a
cemetery twelve miles out from the
village where white crosses, $1,000
of them, stretch from the road far up
the hillside to a flag pole where the
flag for which these men fell in the
Argonne forest floats silently over
them. Turf has been planted at the
foot of all of the graves and at the
entrance to the cemetery grass is
planted in such a way as to outline the
words, "Argonne Cemetery"
UntA recently these women, some
times, n or two at a time, often as
many as ten, have arrived in Romagne,

MANY USES FOR STRAW.

1t is surprising to see the many uses
to which a Korean can put a seeming
ly valueless pile of straw, the num-
Der of articles he can make with straw
as the chief material. Yet there are
people who have been in Korea who
tell you that the Korean isn't thrifty;
that he has little or no ingenuity. Such
people, no doubt, have not made good
use of their eyes.
About a frame of poles the Korean
weaves in straw for the walls of his
home. His roof is of the same mater
ial. If his hut is of mud, then still the
roof is of straw. Straw mats are the
beds on which he and his family sleep.
They serve, too, to cover his door
spaces, for doors Of wood with locks
and hinges are so little known in most
sections of Korea as to be objects of
curiosity. Straw shoes n wove for
each member of the family, from the
grandfather down to tiny Kim. These
shoes + of various patterns and
shapes. Here the workman displays
a range of fancy as notable as his in
genuity. If you could see a Korean
shoe peddler moving through the
streets with his great stack of foot
wear loaded upon, his back, you would
be ready to give due praise to the
ability of the Korean straw worker.
Certainly it is ability of the most COM
mendable kind to put to so useful a
purpose that which in other countries
is thrown away as worthless.
The gear of the oxen hitched to the
Koreans pillow is of straw; so, too, is
the harness used with his big, lumber
some, two-wheel cart. When he goes
to market with a load of fuel or of
produce adjusted to the back of his
horned steed, the continuance that
holds the load in place is one of straw
ropes. They are straw ropes that en-
able the Korean coolie to keep steady
upon his framework of pronged sticks,
known as a "jiggy," the enormous
burdens he is able to carry. 1t is
surprising how strong these ropes are,
and it shows the skilled work of the
Korean rope binder that they are so
dependable.
The Korean straw worker shows
that he can be an artist too. Gayly
colored mats are woven which are US
ed for wedding feasts, on which to
spread the array of dishes, for table,
cloths of cotton or linen form no part
of the usual Korean house-furnishing.
Then there are fanciful purposes to
which straw is put. Fringes made of
straw are used to births in
Korea. If the baby is a girl, the
straw is plain and of scant length. If
a boy, then the fringe will be of gay
colors and stretched several times
r the door.
Fanciful dolls made of straw are
used when there is an illness in the
family, especially if the sick one is
a mar or a boy. Inside the dolls are

speaking little or no French and have
tried to find a way to get out to the
cemetery. Sometimes they were pick
eo up oy an army truck. More often
they completed the last twelve miles
OF their long trip from some town
IN the United States to the one cross
among the $1,000 which meant their
own sacrifice in the war, in a ioltine.
French cart.
Exhausted from the trip and their
gr1e1' mes women have had no place
to rest. The army has done the best
1T could for them. The commanding
Officer at the cemetery and his wife
have welcomed these women into the
old barracks which they have made
habltable and this officer and other
Officers have frequently given up their
BEDS to the women. They have asked
them to their own mess as their
guests. But the best they could do
was very little, with their few facili-
ties.
So it is that the American Young
Women's Christian Association, on re-
quest of the army, has taken over
w old barracks at the foot of this
forest of white crosses, is repainting
them and fitting one up into a small
sitting and dining room. The other
is being divided into two big rooms,
one a sleeping room for mothers and
wives and sisters, and the other for
fathers and brothers, who will come
on this pilgrimage in increasing num-
bers.
The American Red Cross has sent
out by cammeon beds, blankets and
sheets for the equipment, and the Y.
W. c. A. has sent out a truck loaded
with foodstuffs, pretty c%retones, a tea
set and a few odds and ends to make
the place look pretty and warm and
attractive to the pilgrims. Very
simple meals are served to visitors at
a nominal charge covering cost. Y.
w. G. A. women are always there to
receive guests, to see that they have
a cheerful cup of tea, and above all
things, to give an atmosphere of well
come and thoughtfulness to the Host
ess House.
No supplies a be mad in ROMANCE,
twelve miles away, so that it is nee
essary for the Y. w. C. A. to send all
food supplies from Paris by truck.
A bicycle was sent up so that the
workers might have some means of
getting back and forth from the town,
but the problem of transporting the
visitors looms a big one. The army
has a few trucks which they are lend
ing on necessity for the time being, but
they are not certain how long they
can keep them. In the meantime the
Y. W. c. A. women are trying to get
a truck or automobile to transport the
visitors who are coming in increasing
numbers to the cemetery and to the
hostess house.
This is the first of a series of such
house which the Y. w. C. A. will op-
crate near cemeteries where there are
no living accommodations for transient
guests. Mrs. Nora Welch Crump of
Chicago is resident hostess of this
house.
