PLAN TO GET FEDERAL HELP
Positive Obligation Should BE Placed
Upon States to Give Aid 70
County Units.

That federal aid funds should here
after be expended only upon roads
which are included In an intercounty
system Of main highways, is becoming
dxed policy In many states, despite
the fact that the present road act does
not require such use OF the money.
Pennsylvania. Virginia, Ohio, Indi-
ana. Illinois, Wyoming and Washing
ton recently have practically decided
to connne the federal money to roads
that count In well-dehned state sys-
tens.
"If the national government is to
continue the policy Of appropriating
federal funds TO the 4S states for high
way Improvement, a positive obligation
should be placed upon the states to
give aid to their county units" asserts
President David Jameson OF the Amer
icnn Automobile association. which or
ganization devoted its countrywide
energies TO the passage of the federal
aid road act and urged such legislation
at a time when II was far from popu-
lar.

believe that it is-for the Weather
and more settled states to give as
sistance through the federal treasury
to the less populated and undeveloped
parts Of the country, this national CO
operation carries with 1t an obligation
to the state to function as common
wealth in the form of intercounty
roads built and maintained entirely at
state expense.
"While II has been found necessary
In some states to employ automobile
registration. money In floating state
bond issues. this should not be done
except as last resort, simply because
there is need Of yearly maintenance
funds and these are best supplied by
the registration and other taxes col
lected from motorcar owners. The
total Of this money for the whole coun-
try now exceeds $50,000,000."

CALIFORNIA RICE DOES WELL
New Agricultural Industry Produces
Crop Worth Millions
OF Dollars.

washington.-In eight years the
Sacramento valley of California has
developed new agricultural industry,
rice growing, which this Inst season
has resulted in gross production es-
timated to be worth approximately
twenty-one millions Of dollars. This
showing Is the result of research car
ried on by the bureau OF plant indus
try of the department of agriculture.
Following experiments by the bureau
covering three years, the first COM
merciai rice crop as planted in 1912.
The value of the 1919 rice crop in CAL
ifornia win probably be several mil
lions greater than that Of wheat and
peaches. both OF which are commonly
thought Of as relatively large crops
In that state.

there was something queer-even
shocking. Then you discovered what
it was. These were truthful tomb

The people who saw that cemetery

that one might be better for seeing
such cemetery. For, you see, IL was

kind knows could not be justified
merely on the theory that the things
said were true-but those who saw II
came away with the belief that II was
justified by way of keeping just those
things from being true. And that was
the purpose of the exhibit, placed
there by the agricultural extension de
partment of the State Agricultural col
lege OF Montana. 1t was meant to enl-
phasize the need for home convent
ences, for lack of which many a farm
woman has gone to her grave before
her time.
Drive Truth Home.
There were other exhibits designed
to drive home the same hard truth.
One was model showing bleak
farmhouse on bare hill. At the bot
tom of the hill ran little stream, and
by the stream were barns and cattle.
Struggling up the hill toward the house
with two heavy pals Of water was a
bent old woman. And the legend was !:
Convenient for the cattle-but not for
mother" Then there was farmhouse
with the water supply as II ahOuld be,
the woman in the yard sprinSling her
flower beds with n hose. And the In
scription read: Convenient for moth

model showed kitchen rs 1t should
be, and another. kitchen as It should
not be. And there was the legend: "A

one that the state agricultural colleges
and the United States department OF
agriculture are trying to teach by
every means at their command-great.
