Your one and best salvation.
Then comes the time with tear
filled eyes.
And sorrow stricken heart:
Win measured tread and faitefing

From your baggage you mus,

Now some say love will cause heart

But | know that's a Joke;
There's nothing pulls the hear,

Like just simply being broke.

''Know Your Own Wheat" Aids
 Farmers to Market Wisely

To enable farmers and local grain buyers to meet more satisfactorily the conditions under which wheat is handled and graded when it reaches the terminal market, the extension services of Minnesota, North Dako- ta, and South Dakota, cooperating with representatives of the United States Department of Agriculture, are conducting "Know Your Own Wheat" campaign. During the first 10 days of the campaign, schools were held at Fargo, N Dak., and Brookings, s. Dak., where specialists in handling and grading wheat gave instruction to county agents from the three States.
 Following this preliminary work, local meetings of one or two days each are being held in wheat-pro- ducing counties where the county agents, assisted by the specialists assigned for the campaign, are dem

In rlany cases the clubs paid part or all II expenses If their delegates.

Grain grading apparatus has been supplied to 10 counties in each of the three States, for use under the direction of the county agents and specialists conducting the work.

and the State agricultural colleges, enjoy the advantage oe junior short courses and camps every year. These short courses have become a popu lar feature with the farm boys and girls and are eagerly looked forward to by them throughout the year. The courses are patterned some what after the farmers and home makers weeks, which have been conducted by the agricultural col leges for several years. Besides the instruction given, emphasis is laid on the social and recreational side Of junior extension work. Most of the colleges give a course in rural lea dership, emphasizing the importance of boys and girls becoming local leaders of clubs.
 West Virginia, which, besides hav- ing 3 State camps for rural leader ship for boys and girls, also main tains 40 county training schools. These schools are held in connection with county camps, and the farm boys and girls enjoy an outing of from 1 week to 10 days at very small expense. Most States provide simi- lar programs at the college CT at some desirable location in the State, and a considerable number-as, for example, Montana and Minnesota conduct county camps.

Boom in Highway Building
Due Mainly to Federal Aid

DuG MalnAy CO FGoeTaA bAl1
 Federal aid has been probably the most important factor in the big boom highway building of recent years, and there are now many long stretches of trunk-line highway serv- ing rich agricultural and industrial sections of the country which are almost entirely Federal-eid con- struction.
 The United States Department of Agriculture, which administers the Federal-aid fund, points out that q traveller going from Richmond, Ind, to St. Louis across Indiana and the southern part of Illinois, thence to ;. Chicago by way of Springfield and Peoria, distance of approximately 679 miles, would travel 505 miles, or 75 per cent of the way, on Federal aid highways, practically all of which should be in service by the end of the present season.

More effective methods of handT- ing gumbo soils are being developed by some of the farmers on the Milk River reclamation project in Mon tana, says the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. One conclu- sion is that in irrigating this kind of soil the water should be applied ire quently and in small quantities. Much trouble in getting crops start ed may be overcome by adopting a regular habit of fall blowing. The seeding of such soils to either vel low or white sweet clover in some cases is proving a means of supply ing humus and for getting grain or alfalfa started later.

Secretary Weeks Promises
Record for Economy if
Request Is Granted.

Secretary Weeks promised that the
War Department will make a record
for economy during the next fiscal
year If given lump sum appropria-

fore the subcommittee of tho House
appropriations committee now franz
Ing the Army supply bill.
Discussing in executive session the
financial needs of the Army as repre-
sented by the budget bureau estimates
submitted to Congress, Secretary
Weeks was understood to have ex-
pressed the belief that the expendi-
lures Of certain bureaus could be de-
creased considerably. He took the po-
sition that it should be left to the de-
partment executives to determine
what savings could be made without
decreasing efficiency.

While Mr.. Weeks was said to have
expressed the positive belief that a
formidable saving could be made by
his department, it was declared that
he refrained from specifying any
amount.
He reiterated his belief that pro-
vision should be made for an enlisted
strength Of 100000 men. and expressed
vigorous opposition to suggestions
that the number be scaled down to

He was also said to have contended
that an officer strength of $4,000 was
needed, to be reached during the COM

efficient officers and the commission

lower ranks.
One Of the possibilities Of reducing
expenditures during the coming year

be made, according to members OF

One especial case l would relate.
In December. 1917, young woman
of superior accomplishments was
called to this city. She was nation
ally known as a public health worker
and a sociologist and writer One
home she was knocked down by a
boy on steel bob-sled. coming over
a terrace. Many children were pla5 :

Two strange men picked up her

ried it into a nearby apartment house.
The boy was old enough and keen
enough to lie about his name and his
residence. The result of this acci-
dent is this: Internal organs were
ruptured. necessitating an abdominal
operation; a cut on the jaw. requir-
ing eight stitches; right arm injured.
