HOW OTHERS INSPIRE.

Dear corneritss: I saw Gala Lily had come to life again in The Corner and think l will, too. Although Calia Lily does not write often, she has more than been on her job at The Corner gatherings. Wish the sisters. would all take hold and go ahead the. way she and some others do at every 4Sneetingh as it would make 'it easier am in hopes to be able to help her jump around and help get the dinner ready some day. 1 surely will try and furnish some part in the entertainment. as I have two funny selections all ready. I must say that have tried the recipe for soft oorns and have had success. Mountain Laurel, that is very good sug- gestion. but one cannot cure a soft corn in a month, but stick to the job and you will win.
 Best wishes to The Corner.

Dear Social Corner Sisters; A novel way of presenting gifts at a kitchen shower for a bride-to-be is in the form of doll. The necessary articles may be purchased at any store, such as a wood en spoon. potato masnet. dish. mop, dish towel two pairing knives. couple Of corks And yard or 90 of ribbon. The face of the doll Is drawn on the back of the spoon bowl and the dish mop is placed back Of this to represent hair, then the potato masher forms the feet Theee three articles are tied securely to- gether with a cord. The two knife handles are tied together with the points in opposite directions and fastened on for arms with cork on the point O. each for hands. For the dress the dish
 cloth is tiraped around the doll, tying at the neck, waist and arms, with the ribbon. It will be found a very useful and amusing don

Remarkable Increase Shown in
Statement Issued by Bureau
of Public Roads.
MANY AGREEMENTS EXECUTED
Great Reduction Made in Time for
Preliminary Work Before Actual
Construction Is Begun-Few
Projects Completed.

The remarkable rate at which the
number of federal-aid bodybuilding
projects has increased since the war
is shown in a summary relating to all
. such work from September 80, 1916,
Jto April 30, 1920, which has been pre-
pared by the bureau of public roads,
United States department of agricul-
ture. On the later date the states had
filed with the bureau 1855 project
statements of which 2,790 had been
approved, representing 27,796 miles of
highway.
Work in Progress.
Up to May l Of this year 1914 prof.
ects had proceeded to the stage at
which plans, specifications, and esti-
mates had been delivered to the bu-
reau of public roads. The plans speci-
ficatiOnS and estimates of 1927 of
these had, been recommended for APP
proval, representing 1885 miles. Prof.
ect agreements had actually been exc
cuted and construction work was in
progress on 1869 projects, totalling
1887 miles. In addition, work had
been begun on about 100 projects for
which agreements had not actually
been signed. thus eXpediting the prog
ress of the work and bringing the to-
tai mileage under construction up to
1880. The summary shows that
great reduction has been made in the
time required for preliminary work be-
fore actual construction is begun.
Agreements Made.
On the average the states have sub
mitted project statements for nearly
% per cent of their respective allot-
mentS and have entered into agree
ment to construct highways which call
for about one-half of their federal-aid
money. The projects actually COM
pleted and paid for are comparatively
few, but they are materially exceeded
in number by those which are practi-
calIy completed. California, Delaware,
Illinois, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa. Kansas,
Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Mime
sofa, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon,
Pennsylvania. Rhode Island, Utah,
Washington, West Virginia and Wyo-
ming have each submitted approved
project statements for all or nearly all
of their allOtmentS.

ONE DIP NOT ENOUGH
TO CURE SHEEP SCAB
One Reason Is That All Eggs
Have Not Been Killed.
Important That Second Treatment Be
Made Before Mites Which May
Hatch Out Have Had Chance
to Deposit More Eggs.

A single dipping usually fails to rid
flock of sheep from scab, according
to findings of specialists of the United
States department of agriculture re-
ported in Farmers Bulletin 713.
The apparent reason is either that
all the females in the course of de-
posting eggs, at which time they ap-
pear especially tenacious of life. or all
the eggs already deposited have not
been destroyed by the dipping; conse-
quently, after the eggs which may
have escaped the first dipping have
had an opportunity to complete their
incubation, it is essential to dip the
sheep again.
1t is also essential that the second
dipping take place before any mites
which may hatch out after the first
The Morgan County press. (Wartburg, Tenn.) 1916-1926, 1920-07-23

dipping have had time to become ma
ture and deposit more eggs. AS the
eggs on the body of the host usually
require days incubation, sometimes
a week, and probably never more than
10 days, and as 10 to - days are nee
essary for the young mites after hatch
ing to grow to maturity, mate, and de-
post their eggs, it would appear that
the best time for the second dipping
is about 10 days after the first, as all
the eggs will have Matched, while prac-
tically none of the new generation Of
mites will have developed sufficiently
to deposit eggs. Practical experience
has shown that the second dipping
may be delayed until the fourteenth
day without unfavorably affecting the
results of the treatment, but wherever
possible it Is preferable to follow the
Today rule.
