will be the main event on the night
program. 1t is "MontezumA, the
Last of the Aztccs," the most stu

has ever been produced.
Scenery for this big act will fill
20 freight cars. The scenic setting
will be two blocks long and will
tower up into the sky to a dizzy
height to give tire correct repre-

through Mr.. Hauberg-s acquain-
lance with government officials the
mixers obtained unusual privileges.
1t was a wierd and wonderful ex-
perience to witness the snake dance
around our own campfire and fin
ally to be tutored in the real thing
by those who know.

Imagine our pleasure the next
morning when Saikonqua, Ke-yon-
ra-tu-ka, came early to make 'sQuaw
bread. Flour, milk and baking
powder kneeded and then fried like
a huge doughnut in deep fat. It
resembled our fritters and was
greatly relished by the mixers.
1.-The mixers visited the home OF
Young Bear, whose father was FORM
erly chief of the tribe. The tribe is
now governed by council instead
of a chief. Young Bear would be
the chief If the line of succession
had been followed.
Young Bear formally presented
Mr.. Hauberg with a very ornate and
beautiful head dress, which the chief
himself had worn in ceremonials-
The head dress was made of feathers
and otter skins. The chief also
showed copies of original treaties
which were in his possession. A
treaty OF 1915 pledging peace and
friendship of the whites with the
Indians, contained the signatures of
Governor Edwards of Illinois, Will
liam Clark, Chateau and others. An
other interesting treaty was of
land grant of LOCO, 900 acres made
to the Indians in 1887 and carefully
handed from father to son.
The club visited the widow Of
Chief Push-a-ton-e-qua. The chief
was conspicuous among visitors at
the centennial. The mixers will
never forget the rare experience of
being behind the scenes of the in
teresting Indian life of the Tama
reservation.
Last camp was on Cornell cam
pus at Mt Vernon, Iowa. Miss YER
net Johnson expressed the thanks
of the club to Mr.. and Mrs. Hauberg
whose generous offer of cars and
planning made this outing a posi-
bility.

Mileage Of the trip was 1,010, and
the route was through Illinois, Iowa,

MORE GOOD ROADS BIG NEED
VIII Increase Growing Popularity of
Automobiles and Help Build
UP Communities.

To determine the average mileage
the automobile owner covers in
pleasure trip in the evening after
the days work is over, an inveStiga-
ton among $50 owners in middle
western city of around 100000 pOpu-
lation resulted in an average of So
miles. SiXty-twO per cent stated they
would make longer trips if the roads
permitted, S5 per cent stated they usu-
ally made their trips out into the
country.
From these figures it is easy to
see that more good roads will in
crease the growing popularity of the
automobile, which will in turn help
to build up communities, relieving
congestion in the crowded cities, ere
ate a wider circulation of money, in
crease realty values, lower transpor-
tation costs and introduce America
First to more people.

that the house will always be dry.
growing chickens, the ideal condition
being to allow them free range on
good grass land. Alfalfa makes an
ideal range. Where the chickens have
to be confined to small yards it is
very essential to supply green feed
daily. Freshly cut lawn clippings and
short pieces of any growing grain
crop, such as oats, wheat or any quick
growing CROP such as rape, make
splendid green feed Where these
growing feeds are not available
SprOuted oats may be used and will
help materially. Where a hen is Kept
with a brood of chickens and the
chickens confined to a small covered
pen, move this coop and pen every two
or three days to fresh grass and never
let the grass be killed or eaten down
where the run is placed. Provide fresh
clean water daily and see that the re
ceptacles are thoroughly cleaned and
the chickens never without water The
water should be kept in the shade In
as cool place as possible. Using a
stone crock for watering fountains
will help to keep the water cool.
Where the chickens are confined to
yards or have free range, shade
should be provided. Trees and low
shrubs make ideal shade, but if not
available corn patch or rows, of sun
flowers viii help materially. Where
no growing crop or trees of any kind
are available it will pay to put up an
artificial shade, making a framework
two or three feet high and covering
this With the branches of trees, weeds,
straw or any waste material that will
furnish shade.

BUILD UP PROFITABLE FLOCK
for Health and Vigor to Get
Egg Producers.

Only by continuous selection for
health mad vigor is it possible to build
up flock which will produce fertile
eggs, strong chicks capable Of making
quick growth, and pullets with sufi-
cient stamina to withstand the strain
of heavy egg production. The appear
ance of bird is not always a sure in
dication of its vigor, but appearance
and action taken together are a fairly
reliable guide for picking out vigorous

labor. The army of laborers which we
expected 20 apply for the work did
not, however, materalize. On the
contrary, there was distinct shortage
of labor, and wages reached the high
est levels attained in the history of
the country. In 1917, competent labor
could be secured for from $1.50 to So
per day, but the corresponding wages
in 1920 were from So to So for short
er days work
In proportion to this demand there
was also a pronounced scarcity of CON
struction materials. Sand, gravel,
stone and cement, and materials com
monty used in road work increased in
price between 1917 and 1920 from 90
to 100 per cent. Naturally, these in
creases in cost were reflected in the
prices paid to contractors for road
work. Gravel roads increased from
$4,535 to $7,250 per mile; concrete
from $21, ,165 to upward of $4,000 per
mile, and brick roads from $33, 1000 to
$4,000 per mile.
AS funds available for road CON
struction are largely limited by statute,
or by the returns from taxation, a
majority of the states this year have
deliberately withheld work, the plans
for which had been completed, until
they could obtain a greater return for
their expenditure.

ROAD SOILS DIFFER WIDELY
Just What characteristics Are Which
Make Them Different Puzzles
Highway Engineers.

The federal highway engineers
point out that soils differ widely in
their ability to support loads, particu-
larly when they are wet. Just why
this is true and just what are the
characteristics which make them diff
ferent is little understood at present.
1t is in this field of Investigation OF
increasing Importance because of the
growing volume of heavy traffic, that
the federal Investigators expect to Sc

ROAD CONSTRUCTION IN 1920
Distinct Shortage OF Labor and Higher
Cost of Materials Among Diff
cuities Encountered.

Every kind of road cost about twice
as much to build in 1920 as it did in
1917, according to the chief of the
bureau of public roads, United States
Department Of Agriculture, and high
way construction suffered more than
any other class of work through rail-
road congestion, strikes, labor trou-
bles, and material shortages.
After the war there was great
public demand for improved roads.
Many roads had been seriously dam
aged by war traffic, and it appeared
that the return of men from military
service would provide an abundance of

CAPoNIZED TURKEY is QUIET
Of Considerable Advantage in Getting
Them in Excellent Condition
for Marketing.

Very little has ever been done in the
way of caponizing turkeys, but when
it has been tried the capons were found
to be much quieter in disposition and
less likely to range over wide area
than the toms, and this character
should be of considerable advantage
in getting them in condition for the
market.

The grain of kaffir corn is smaller
than wheat and it is good for the little
chicks as well as the full-grown ones.
The brood will begin to eat it before
they are a week old and those who
have tried it say that it makes fine
feed.
