HORSEPOWER ON GOOD ROADS

The value of hard surfaced roads
in getting products to market or in
taking goods from the cities to the
farms Is shown by these facts, accord.
Ing to the Oklahoman:
Suppose a load weighing 6.270
pounds must be taken to market. On
four different types of roads, the fol.
lowing number of horses, 1t is estimat-

load, using the same wagon In each
case:
On loose sand or mud road, ten
horses.
On dirt road, five horses.
On a gravel road, two horses.
On good macadam road, one horse.
To illustrate again: Suppose a
farmer uses one horse to pull his prod.

with the same wagon, the horse can
pull the following:
About 800 pounds on a muddy dirt
road.
From 1000 to 1900 pounds on a

About 5000 pounds on a good gravel

states that during the month of May
eight government hunters killed 154
predatory animals, including three
wolves, 145 coyotes and eight bob
cats. Hunter William E. Cozzens
was off duty during May on account
of lack of funds. Mr.. Cozzens has
been especially successful at wolf
hunting having taken about forty
from Bear Lake AMI Caribou counties
during the past three years. I'm
fortunately the state of Idaho is not
cooperating with the Federal Govern

animals, and as much work is not
done in this state as in adjoining

tions at a meeting in the board room

protest against a proposition to To-
cate these District activities in
square 71O, bounded by First, Second,
N and D streets northeast. A pro-
vision in the District appropriations

a campaign for social hygiene, care
and to consider better sites for a

Irish Farmers Ignorant
of RuctiOns in Cities

Ireland is known industrially, for
its ship building and for it's linen
manufacture, but one of the most
interesting of its lesser industries
is that of pipe making at Dublin.
Motion pictures of the many opera
tions involved in making of briar
pipes were shown members of the
National Geographic Society in con-
nection with the lecture of E. NJ.
Newman at the New Masonic Tenn
pie last evening.
Pictures of the hunger strikers of
Cork and of the wreckage resulting
from riots in other cities were in
contrast to the prosperous rural
scenes photographed. The Irish
farmer, the lecturer said, knows lit
tie of the disturbances in the cities
and because he gets higher prices
for his produce than ever before
is experiencing an unprecedented
prosperity.

South American "Gas"
High; Taris Are Cheaper

The message of the American mo-

of South America and is supplying
the lack of railroad transportation
in several republics, William A.
Reid. chief clerk and trade adviser
of the Pan American Union, told
the Society of Automotive Engineers
at a meeting in the Cosmos Club
last night.
Reid said that railroad construc-
tion in South America had been at
a minimum since before the war,
and that automobiles manufactured
in the United States were filling
the breach.
Although gasoline sells at retail
from so to so cents a gallon in
South America, Reid said, an auto
mobile may be hired in Buenos
Ayres, Argentina, at a charge lower
than those prevailing in Washing
ton.
