ROAD BONDS MUST
PASS FOR MISSOURI
Either That or Counties Must Provide
the Funds for the Betterment
of the Highways
HARRY B. HAYES E
Otherwise the End of the Good Roads
Movement in This State is in
Sight he Says.

The end of good road building is in
sight in Missouri unless one of two
things is done in the state, Maj. Harry
B. Halves, president of the Federated
Council of Roads of st. Louis and
author of the Halves road law of 1917,
told the Highway Engineers Associa-
ton of Missouri in session in Kansas
City recently.
EITHER the proposed bond issue of
60 million dollars for a state fund
must pass in November or the separ-
ate counties must provide to pay one
half the cost of road building, if con-
struction is to continue" Major
Halves said. "We have an efficient,
nonpartisan highway department, but
it shortly will be an i~nsolvent con-
Germ unless one of these steps is taken.
By the close of this year, too, all of
the federal aid fund available for the
state will have been exhausted"
The big bond issue will pass in Nov
ember if the voters of the state are
made to understand just what it pro-
vides for and what it will cost them,
Major Halves declared, and in ordc-
that the people may know these facts
the entire state must be organized,
with a group Of workers in each
county.

Farm News
Growing ,,Weed" Seed.

Sweet clover, formerly considered a
rank weed, is now being grown for
seed by an increasing number of Ohio
farmers. This "weed" seed now sells
for $25 bushel.
When growing seed for this pur-
pose, it is well not to have an exceed
ingly thick stand. 1t is seeded on
wheat or rye in the spring. A hay
crop can be cut in the fall if it is de-
sirable to do so; otherwise nothing
more is done to it until the following
spring. To insure seed crop, the
first growth is allowed to mature seed
rather than attempt to secure both a
hay crop and seed crop. =
The ordinary grain binder is the
most satisfactory machine with which
to harvest the crop. Care must be
exercised in cutting it SO that it is
not too dry. or it will shatter badly.
Probably the best way to thresh the
seed is to run it first through regu-
lar grain thresher and then through
clover huller Yields of seed vary
from two to ten bushels per acre. d.
This and further information con-
cerning the culture Of sweet clover Is
contained in free circular just ISSUED
by the Agricultural College Extension
Service, Columbus.

the Ohio State University. When it
comes in contact with the bodies of the
lice it kills them in from one to four
hours It is best to use little soap
in the spray to make it stick to their
bodies and spread over the plant. Use
IL teaspoonsful of the nicotine sui

dissolved in a gallon of soft water.
This must be applied with good pres

HERE ARE REASONS 4,
FOR BIRTH RECORDS

FOK BlkIH REFUNDS
Horse and cattle breeders owning
"blooded" stock do not fail to have
their animals registered" 1t adds to
their value and is therefore justly re-
garded as highly desirable.
Contrasting this attitude with that
of careless physicians and parents, the
public health service gives the follow
ing reasons why baby's birth should
be registered:
l. To establish identity.
2. To prove nationality.
3. To prove legitimacy. w.
A. To show when the child has the
right to enter school.
5. To show when the child has the
right to seek employment under the
child labor law.
6. To establish the right to inheri-
tance to property.
z. To establish liability to military
duty, as well as exemption therefrom.
8. To establish the right to vote.
8. To qualify to hold title to, and
to buy or sell real estate.
TO- To establish the right to hold
public office.
II. To prove the age at which the
marriage contract may be entered in
to.
IL. To make possible statistical
studies of health conditions.

LEVER ACT Is
TO BE TESTED
Jackson Merchant Files Suit To Test
Constitutionality of the
Lever Act.

Jackson, Miss, May 3.-An attack
is made on the validity of the Lever
Act, under which Fair Price Commits
sions have been organized throughout
the United States, in suit filed in
the Federal court here today by R. E.
Remington, owner of several depart
ment stores.
The suit is directed against Attor-
ney General A. Mitchell Palmer, 7. j.
Locke, Fair Price Commissioner for
Mississippi, and S. J. Taylor, Fair
Price Commissioner for Kinds county,
and other officials of the Department
of Justice.
An injunction has been brought by
the complainant to restrain the Fair
Price Commission from enforcing its
fair price list, issued last Saturday, on
the ground that the profit margin fix
ed therein are inordnhately, below, far
smaller than those fixed in other
states.
"The trouble with the American
people is that we enforce the law like
we discipline our children-only when
we are angry" said Judge Edwin
Holmes in his charge to the grand
jury at the opening of the Federal
court this morning
The docket for the term contains
more than 100 moonshining eases a
