FEDERAL
 R0AD SYSTEM

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Automo- bile interests of the country are con- centrated on efforts here to bring about the passage by Congress of the Townsend bill for a system of federal built and federal-maintained highways | throughout the country. The measure is expected to come up for considera- tion during the present session of congress, which opened December 6.
 This bill, which is fathered by Sen ator Charles E. Townsend Of Michi- gan, was drawn up during the war when military importance of feder- al highway system was recognized. With the termination of the war, the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce and other automobile or ganizations have continued the at tempt to obtain passage of this leg islation, arguing that such roads will be of great benefit to the country from an economic standpoint besides maintaining their military value.
 II the Townsend bill becomes law every state will have two trunk line roads built and maintained by the state and connecting up with the highways of adjoining states to form a complete federal system.
 The result would be checker board sysem of highways over the country, the economic importance of which to farmers and industries is obvious. With this as the main sys- tenn, the states would build their trunk line roads to feed the national highways, the counties would connect their lines to the state highways and the whole highway system would be complete even to the township roads.

or battery service station. The hydro meter is inserted through a vent cap at the top, and some of the electrolyte drawn up into it. The top of the bat tery should be cleaned off so that no dirt could get inside when the vent cap is opened.
 If the liquid is too low to be drawn up, pure, distilled water should be added and the battery should be charged for half an hour. This is to mix the water and electrolyte thor oughly.
 Then the hydrometer can be filled, being held steady so the float inside will come to rest. The reading is taken from the scale on the float. The figure in line with the surface of the electrolyte tells the tale.

 Do not try to recharge battery that is low. It is cheaper to have the battery service man do that. If the battery is overcharged, it should be run down. Burning the lights by day is popular method for doing this.

THOMAS MElGHAN i1s the WILLIAM DeMlLLE production
 THE PRINCE CHAD MOUNT AIRCRAFT PICTURE

William De Mile, who has achieved
 an enviable reputation not only as the author of such stage plays as Strong
 heart and '"The Warrens of Virgin ia,'' but also as a director and author
 of stories for the screen. believes that there is a demand in the photo play field for a new kind of comedy.
 Moreover, in the new series of pic
 lures which MT. De Mile is produc- ing for Paramount Aircraft release, he
 aims to meet this demand
 Comedy has been defined as the humorous side of drama" said the producer recently. Very few screen comedies live up exactly to this defin- | ition. We have farce, slapstick, and the smart sophisticated type, that, for want of a better name, is called petite comedy. But the real comedy in my opinion. carries along with it's | laughter a few tears, a genuine tug at the heart and an atmosphere of sim pie reality. It portrayS the sunny side ! of life, but it gives a thought to the other side also. It's chief ingredients are humor, health and heart-appeal." :" Mir. De Mile has incorporated these ideas into his picturization of "The l Prince Chap which will be seen at
 the Eagle theater today and Monday. | It is an unusually attractive comedy lof artist life in the Soho section of l London. Thomas Meighan has the
 leading role, that of a sentimental
 young sculptor, and Lila Lee, Theo- l dore Kosloff, Kathlyn Williams, and i Charles Osle are also in the cast.

WATCH BATTERY
 DURING WINTER

Winter, with it's accompanying cold blasts, calls for most scrupulous care of the battery, in order to keep it's contents from freezing.
 The simple rule for this is to keep the battery as nearly fully charged as possible. When the lights get dim and there is noticeable loss in the cranking power of the starter, it is. time to test the battery.
 The standard way of testing the battery is by means of a hydrometer which can be obtained at any garage

Identification of French
 Railroads, Planned for Many
 Years, Is Becoming Reality

PARIS, Dec 11-Electrification of the various French railroad systems has been planned for years but work began only recently. 4 few miles have been transformed around Paris but operation has not yet commenc- ed.
 The Midi system has now announc- ed a ten-year program of electrifica- ton. By 1925, 1000 miles will be converted and by 1880 the remaining 700 miles of the company will be changed.
 Twelve waterpower plants will furnish the current which will be direct instead of alternating, because tie latter has been found to inter- fere with telephone and telegraph transmission on lines closely fellow ing the railroad.

pull victories in each of the games.

Field will bring team of huskies "

little question but what the Albion
team, flushed with ITS three point
victory over Alma at Albion earlier
in the year, will put up a great fight
for the honors of the evening.

feated the Maroon and Cream in the
first NJ. l. A. A. game played this
year on the Adrian floor is in for

was able to win from Alma on the
small Adrian floor by a margin of
less than two field baskets, and I'M
less the DOWNSTAIRS have improved
considerably they will meet a small
score defeat from the Alma five.
The Maroon and Cream will be
somewhat stronger than in the last
appearance on the Alma floor, when
Crittenden was missing from the
lineup The stellar guard is one Of
the strongest men on the five, and
the fact that he will be able to get
back in the lineup promises to
strengthen Alma TO a considerable
extent. 1t is doubtful if Gaffney,
center, will be able to get back for
the games this week, as he has not
entirely recovered from his illness.

TOP Dressing Hay VIII Surely Pay

Those who are to top dress their
mowings have already completed it, or
viii be doing it in the next few weeks,
Quite number of farmers have asked
the County Agent whether or not this
is likely to be a paying proposition,
when the chemicals cost as much as
they do this year.
Demonstration have been conduct
ed which the County Agent is aware
Of, where the average of the increases
due to top dressing material clearly
indicates that, even with fertilizers
costing what they do this year. a rea-
sonable crop increase of extra hay
can be produced at profit by this
practise.
The following conclusions may be
drawn from the top dressing demon
strations spoken about above,
Top dressing good hay land is a
more economical method of getting
more hay than is buying it on the
market. The cost of chemicals neees-
sary to produce an extra ton of hay
on the average, would be S4.75 to
s14.5o, depending upon the condition
of the seeding. Omitting the former
figures, which are exceptional. the
cost in the other demonstrations spok-
en- of averaged from $1,000 to S14.5o.
With liberal allowance for the cost
of applying chemicals and harvesting
the extra hay, there is still a good
margin in favor of top dressing hay
land, rather than buying hay.
Top dressed land will not run out
as quickly as such land not top dress
ed. 1t is most profitable on hay land
in good condition. Much hay land is
so badly run out that top dressing is
not profitable.
The following mixture is recon-
mended as a satisfactory top dressing
fer hay land Figures referred to are
pounds per acre. Nitrate of soda,
$50; acid phosphate, $50 Potash ma
terials are expensive at the present
time. and there are likely many condi-
tions where their use would not be
profitable in top dressing.
There are many farms in Windham
County where manure is available and
can be profitably used for top dress
ing hay land. On many farms, 1t Is
very likely that the manure would be
more profitably used if the amount
applied to the corn were slightly re
duced, and the remainder put on hay
land that would not otherwise be ma
nured. 1t would be necessary to re-
inforee the manure that is put on the
corn in lighter application with acid
phosphate, to get best results.

Ashford Starts Membership Drive

At meeting of the Ashford Well
fare Association Saturday, May LIST,
seventeen joined the Farmers Asso-
citation as new members. The meeting
was in charge of A. B. Lincoln. Town
Director.
The object of Mr.. Lincoln in form
ing the welfare organization, which
was started last fall, is to make it pos
sible for the men and women of the
town to get together regularly and
plan the working out of their various
problems. The meeting Saturday was
attended by eighty men and women.
A. b. Lincoln, the County Agent
and Home Demonstration Agent, and
Fred Warner of the New England
Milk Producers Association, took part
in the speaking program.
The size and the enthusiasm was
certainly an inspiration, considering
the distances from which many came
in order to attend Ashford has al
ready exceeded the quota which the
membership committee asked for in
the way of members for that town,
but there is still a possibility of few
more new members being added. Ash
fords' accomplishment is certainly
well worthy of consideration for the
other towns in the county.

Treating Seed Potatoes Worth Will

The County Agent carried on five
demonstrations last year where COM
parison was made of treated and un-
treated seed. Corrosive sublimate
was the chemical used in the treat
ment of a half-bushel of seel on five
different farms. In the fall, represent
alive samples were taken from the re-
sultant crop of the treated and I'M
treated seed, and there was differ
ence favorable to the proper treat
ment of seed before planting. This
demonstration was carried on due to
the fact that a car of seed arrived
from Maine which was badly diseased
with Rhizoctonia. During the sum-
mer, it was noticeable that the treated
rows were superior to the untreated
rows.
Scab. Rhizoctonia and Black Leg
are potato diseases transmitted on the
seed. 1t would seem very much worth
while for the farmers in Windham
County who are to grow potatoes this
year to make the proper start by the
following method of seed treatment.
Dissolve four ounces of corrosive
sublimate Crystals preferred) in one
quart of hot water and pour into a
barrel containing 80 gallons of cold
water. Stir it up. Immerse uncut
seed, bag and all, in the solution and
soak 30 minutes. Dump potatoes out
on ground and allow them to dry. If
sun is bright and hot cover lightly
with a little straw which should be
removed when seed is dry. 1t will ben
eft the seed to be left out doors for a
week or more tcare being taken not to
let them freeze) when they will throw
out, very hard, stubby sun sprouts
which will come up quicker and
stronger when planted, than if UNI
sprouted seed is planted. Corrosive
sublimate is superior to formalin or
formaldehyde as it will kill Rhizoc-
tonia which is more destructive and
prevalent disease than scab. Rhizoc-
tonia makes a small unhealthy vine
which generally bears only few very
small potatoes. Corrosive sublimate
is deadly poison. Keep the solution
and treated seed away from stock,
use wooden containers, 1t corrodes
metal.
