KEEP ROADS OPEN IN WINTER
gests That Special Efforts Be
Made by State Officials.
investment

II is suggested by the federal high
way council that state and county
highway departments make special
effort to keep the roads clear Of snow
during the winter months and thus
permit of uninterrupted traffic. The
transportation of certain commodities
is really more important during the
winter than in summer and 1t Is then
that the roads are more difficult to
pass over Then, too, the rural mail
must be carried whether roads are
good or bad, and when the snow drifts
several feet deep over the roads the
life OF the rural mail carrier is any
thing but pleasant. As the snow melts
1t transforms many roads into mire
that Is almost impossible. On any
road. no matter how good. there Is a
tendency for the melting snow to soft
en- the subgrade and loosen the base
under the wearing surface, thus caus-
ing great damage to the road.
Road officials could do nothing bet
ter than to keep their equipment busy
in the winter removing the snow from
the road surfaces. II is one form Of
maintenance work that is very essen
tial in lengthening the life and use
fulness Of the highways.

One Case Cited.

Many producers living ncnr summer
resorts supply produce I'm the summer
months To the persons NJ the resorts.
and during the other months Of the
year ship produce to these persons
while they are In the city. This. say
marketing specialists Of the United

one of the best methods Of obtaining
customers for direct marketing. as the
producer and consumer have some nc
quaintanCe. In most Instances the GUS
toners have been at the producers
farm and know under what conditions
the articles are produced.
One man who lives near IA summer
resort in Indiana Is about twelve miles
from the nearest town Of any size He
does not desire to drive TO this town TO
dispose of his farm produce and Is not
satisfied with the prices TINT the buck
Sters pay. Consequently he built up II
business Of supplying products 10 re
sortcrs in the summer and of shipping
produce by parcel post and express to
these persons at their city homes I'm
the winter.
The principal products shipped are
butter, eggs and dressed poultry. This
producer uses good shipping containers
and packs produce attractivcly. As he
Is acquainted with his customers, ne
renders statements of accounts only
once month. In this way the matter
of making payments is Simpliticd for
the customers.
This producer has had no trouble in
establishing his business nor in retain
Ing customers. lie states that his only
trouble has been in getting enough
high grade produce. to supply all of his
customers.

to Reconsider Toxic Offer to Ar

Washington.-The withdrawal Of
Japan from Shantung and the re-

other German rights she controls
through ousting Germany in 1914
promise to be settled by diplomatic
negotiations between Japan and
China, according to reliable informa-
ton here.
Negotiations opened by Japan some
months ago, but rejected by China,
have been reopened since the con-
vening of the Washington conference,
and such satisfactory progress is be-
ing made, it was said in diplomatic
circles, as to convince the American
officials that the Shantung issue will
not be brought up at this conference.
Since coming here the Chinese rep
resentatives have been advised that
the move made by the Picking Gov
eminent in ignoring Japan's offer to
discuss its withdrawal from Shantung,
as promised at Paris, has had a bad
effect. They were told that Shantung
could not properly come before this
conference, inasmuch as Japan's
rights in Shantung were granted by
the Versailles Treaty, and the sigma
tories of that treaty, most of whom
are represented here, could not be
expected to reverse the position as
sumed at Paris.
