AVERAGE YEARS OF LIFE

Washington, D. c., Aug. 25-Women
live longer than men in the United
States.
Life in the country is healthier than
: life in the city.
That statement explodes lot of pet
theories of our city brethren who have
spread propaganda for many moons on
the perfection Of their sanitary exist
ence.
The Bureau Of Census has just com.
piled some interesting figures from the
recent census. They should add to the
contentment of the rural jewellers.
The average life of women in the
country is 81 years. Of men, IS years
The average life Of city women is 81
! years. Of men, 81 years.
Tho average life in both city and
country for women has increased near
ly three years and for men nearly four
years in the last 10 years.
! The healthicst spot in the union seems
to be Kansas. Women average 60
years there and men SO years.
Washington is the healthiest city
where women average SO years and
I men So.
! Pittsburgh is at the bottom of the
city list where women average only
so years and men ~.
These averages run into fractional
years as announced ny the Bureau but
have been taken at the even year IN
this article. The figures quoted here
| apply only to whites. Negroes are
shorter lived. The national average for
them is ~ years for women and A.
years for men.

ORCHARDssAN GARDEN

u Prune out the olt1c canes Of raspber-
jries and thin out currant and goose
berry bushes. Burn the Trimmings to
get rid Of insects before next year.
Weeds going to seed now mean large
crops Of weeds next season. Better
pull or cut all before they have a
chance to scatter seed. n
Save seeds Of native plants that are
good ornamentals. In most cases they
may be sown as soon as ripe, in we'll
prepared soil. Cover with leaf mold OF
soil with good deal Of humus.
: Gladioli need water when the buds
begin to form. Give them enough to
20 to the tips of the roots. Cultivate
as soon as the soil is dry again.
Oriental peoples may be divided now
and reset where they are to bloom, OF
in nursery rows.
You can not take all the plant fooo
out of the soil by heavy cropping and
expect crops to thrive. Return some
food in the form of fertilizes or green
manure.

ways. They can still be improved by

t5Es. < y = ,,..E
It's the busy season for patrolmen
on the Babcock~'roads serving Little
Falls and vicinity. and sin all other
parts of Minnesota. ~
Keep the roads as smooth as possible
in spite Of continued heavy travel ana
dry weather, making sure to drag i'm
mediately after the first rain and at
night IT necessary to avoid roughing up
by traffic-that is the&first order &C
cording to the state highway depart
ment bulletin calling attention to un-
usual difficulties under existing con.
ditions.
And with the first rule come many
others. Patrolmen are directed to cut
weeds as soon as possible, cooperating
with district weed inspectors. In north
ern forest sections they are expected to
assist rangers in preventing and fight
night work for many. Instructions re-
quire the men to go over their beats
promptly after rains to insure public
safety in case Of washouts.
The bulletin adds that farmers along
truck routes can make the roads safe
by cutting corn where it obstructs the
view at highway intersections. This
suggestion is made following reports Of
increasing numbers Of accidents blamed
to blind intersections. Another propos-
al is that rows of corn be left standing
this fall to serve as snow fences wher
ever possible on stretches that were
drifted last winter. This plan has been
demonstrated as thoroly effective in

Federal Road Aid Goes Fast and Far
Minnesota trunk highways are being
economically improved as rapidly and
extensively as incoming funds allow ac-
cording to comparative showing in a
late bulletin issued by the United
States bureau of public roads at Wash
ington.
t'hr government figures form the
basis Of the following table of Mime
sofa figures compared with averages
for all states but covering only high
way improvement on which govern
ment money is being used.
improvements, number: average so;
Minnesota, ITO.
Total Length, Miles: average, 27S;
Minnesota, l,l45.
Average Length, miles: average, 5.5;
Minnesota, l0.4.
Average Cost, mile: average, $4,000;
Minnesota, $3.50.
Average Cost, job: average, $loo,926;
Minnesota, $95,289.
Federal Aid, job: average $42,6l5;
Minnesota, $36,925.
The foregoing figures follow those
on which the government accorded
Minnesota the distinction of leading all
states for completed mileage of federal
aid roads.
The showing is regarded by friends
of the Minnesota road program as re-
markable in view Of the big bond is
sues and other liberal financing prov1-
sons being made in other states for
highway development. 1t establishes
that Minnesota is using road funds as
they become available to extend bene-
fits as far as possible, building reason
ably good roads at low costs rather
than shorter mileages of costly high
ways.
