Chicks Need Close Attention

During these hot months the poultry
raisers must not stop caring for the
growing chicks, says Kate M. Wells,
poultry specialist, Division of Exten-
sion, They must have plenty of good
shade and water; al the :sour milk or
buttermilk they will drink, If it is to be
had, They must be kept growing rap
idly, and this means they must not be
allowed to run opt in the hot sun all

them boppers of dry mash that will
keep them growing. II plenty of milk
is given, try dry mash made % of
equal parts of wheat bran ard shorts.
Then with some cracked corn and wheat

STATE ROAD HELP OLD IDEA
First Money Paid for Highway I'm.
provement Made by Kentucky
rs Years Ago.

1t Is often said that the use of state
money for the construction of roads
is of quite recent origin, says a bulle-
tin from the American Highway asso-
citation. The New Jersey state aid
law of 1901 is sometimes referred to
as the first instance of such use Of
state funds in this country. As a
matter of fact, state money was spent
for such purposes more than IS years
ago. Kentucky paid u over $1,000
600 for road improvements between
1920 and 1910 under the direction Of a
state highway engineer, who drew a
salary of 5000 a year. a very large
sum for those days.
The roads built then were "a to 30
feet wide between the bitches. The
surfaces were constructed of broken
stone. and the bottoms were of large
stones wedged together to make what
road builders call a telfOrd foundation.
About 1850 business conditions in the
country became bad and this work
stopped. When it was resumed In
1908 such a long period had elapsed
since the earlier state aid work that
1903 is usually fixed as the beginning
of state road work In Kentucky.

Grams of the World war, the board of

F. w. Galbraith, Jr,, commander Of

"The Rotarians have been shocked

BIG CHIEF is LEGION BOSS
Only FuII-FIedoed Indian at Head OF
an Ex-Service Mems Organization
in America.

Maj. A. b. Welch of Mandan, n. d.,
is the only ~full-fiedged Indian chief and
commander of an American Legion
post in America. He is wearing the Of
fetal dress of a head chief of the
Sioux. which he was authorized to as
sumo when he was adopted by their
great chief, John Grass, many years
ago. He is now the duly elected chief
of the Sioux, in addition to his duties
as commander of the Gilbert S. Fur
ness post of the Legion at Mandan.
A veteran of the Spanish-American
wal and a participant in the Mexican
border expedition. as well as an au-
thOrity on customs, sports and ceremO-
MES of the Indians, citizens of North
Dakota were eager that Major Welch
should lead a battalion of Indians to
France. Major Welch volunteered to
do so. but his offer was refused by the
War department.
Nevertheless, a number of Indians
we're included in the detachment of
men which Major Welch took to France
in December, 1917. He served upon
the staff of Gen. Hunter A. Liggett and
on Armistice day was with the artil-
lery of the Third division, south of Sc
dan. When he arrived in Germany he
was named as officer in charge of civil
affairs in the Coblenz area, which po-
sitiOn he held until the divisions came

do with awkward snOwshoes; but the
river drowned the little noise that he
made. lie tried to take advantage OF
the shelter Of the thlckets and the
trees. Then. at the base Of n little
ridge, he came to a sudden halt.
He had estimated just right. Not
two hundred yards distant. Il camp
fire fickered and glowed in the shell
ter of a great log. He saw it, by the
most astounding good fortune, through
a little rift in the trees. Ten feet on
either side. and IL was obscured.
He lost no time. He did not know
when the wolves about Snowbird's
camp would lose the last Of their
c%owardice. Yet he knew he must keep
a tight grip on his ~Self-contrOl and
not let the necessity Of haste cost him
his victory. He crept forward. step
by step. placing his snowshoes with
cOnsummate care. When he was n
hundred yards distant he saw that
Cranston's camp was situated beside
a little stream that flowed into the
river and that-Iike the mOuntaineer
ne was-he had built a large lean-to
reinforced with s~nowbanks. The fire
burned at its opening. Cranston was
not in sight; either he was absent
from camp or asleep in his lean-to.
The latter seemed the more likely.
Dan made a wide detOur. coming in
about thirty yards behind the cOnstruc-
ton. Still he moved with incredible
caution. Never in his life had he pos
sessed a greater mastery over his own
nerves. His heart leaped somewhat
fast in his own breast; but this was
the only wasted motion. 1t isn't easy
to advance through such thickets with
out ever a misstep. without the rustic
of a branch or the crack of a twig.
Certain of the wild creatures find II
easy; but men have forgotten how In

"In April, 1917, the declaration OF
wal caused all road building to cease.
All bond issues hat had been voted
for road construction were held In
allegiance, and nothing was undertaken
until after the signing of the armistice
TO resume construction of highways.
The war awakened the people to the
necessity of permanent road building
and demonstrated that 1t would be
necessary in the future to build roads
that would withstand the heavy truck
traffic.
''The present system of federal aid
has not been given a fair opportunity to
demonstrate its merits. Ii began
operation under abnormal conditions,
which grew worse. The road to be
improved must be a rural post road

CHAPTER III.

Dan Failing was never more thank
full for his unerring sense of direction.
He struck off at a fOrty-five-degree
angle between their late course and a
direct road to the river, and he kept
II ms if by Il surveyors line. All the
old devices of the wilderness-the
ridge on ridge that looked just alike
inclines that to the casual eye looked
like downward slopes, streams that
vanished beneath the snow, and the
snoW-mist blowing across the face of
the landmarkS-could not avail
against him.
\ half dozen of the wolves followed
him AT first. But perhaps their fierce
eyes marked his long stride and his
powerful body, and decided that their
better chance was with the helpless
man and the girl beside the pickering
fire. They turned back, one by one.
Dan kept straight on and in two hours
crossed Cranston's trail. lie didn't
doubt but that he would find Gran
ston in his camp, if he found the camp
al all. The man had certainly re-
turned to il Immediately after setting
fire To the buildings, if for no other
reason than for food. 1t isn't well
to be abroad on the wintry mountains
without IA supply of food; and Gran
Ston would certainly know this fact.
Dan didn't know when a rifle bullet
from solne camp in the thickets would
put an abrupt end to his advance. The
brush grew high by the river, the ele-
walton was considerably lower, and
there might be one hundred camps out
of the sight of the casual wayfarer.
If Cranston should see him, mushing
across the moonlit snow, II would give
him the most savage joy to open fire
upon him with his rifle.
