prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricultural
Surplus war material valued at
$139, ,773, 1886 was delivered to the states
for use In road construction up to
July l, reports the bureau Of public
roads, United States Department of
Agriculture. The material, which con-
sisted Of all sorts Of supplies and
equipment suitable for road building
for which the War department had
no further need, was distributed on
the same basis as monetary federal
aid.
In value Of material delivered, Texas
and New York lead with nearly 49,
100000 worth Of material, and every
state with the exception of five Of
the smaller ones received supplies
valued at over $1,OO0,000.
This material has been of great
value In road construction, and there
is hardly a county in the United States
In which some Of 1t has not been
used.
Probably of greatest value has been
the 29,325 motor vehicles distributed,
consisting of 24,752 trucks and 4,573
automobiles, and In addition a large
number Of tractors.
The system Of distribution has been
so arranged that the states requisition
only material useful to them. In
some cases they fall behind IN allot-
ments in order to wait for material
particularly desired. Many of the
states have shown great ingenuity in
conditioning worn equipment, using
war material to equip shops in'which
other war material is made suitable
for use.
There Is still large quantity Of ma.
terial in this country for distribution.
This will be further increased by ma.
terial used by the army Of occupation
In Germany soon to be brought back.

that he determines to do his own tan
ming. For example in certain large
sections of the country farmer can
hardly give away the hides he has,
yet leather In small pieces costs him
from 81 to $1.50 a pound. To help
him in such emergencies the United
States Department Of Agriculture has
just issued Department Circular 230
Home Tanning which gives detailed
directions for making leather for vari-
Gus purposes
Best Way Of Handling.
With the issuance of this publlca-
tion the department now has for dis
tribution, information on the handling
of hides from the skinning of the
animal to the care Of the leather in
the finished article such as harness,
belts, boots, and shoes. Farmers
Bulletin 1855, Country Hides and
Skins: Skinning Curing and Market
ing, recently revised and reprinted for
the third time, tells how to perform
these operations In the most efficient
manner. In Farmers Bulletin 11S3,
The Care Of Leather, also recently
revised and reprinted, are directions
for making leather last longer. Any
or all, of these bulletins, including
the new circular, may be obtained
free by writing to the Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. c.
Suggestions as to Rates.
In the circular just issued the farmer
who wishes to do tanning on a small
scale may find explicit directions for
making bark-tanned sole and harness
leather, chrome-tanned leather, and
alum-tanned lace leather. But In case
he wishes to have the tanning done
for him he will find suggestions as to
the usual practices, rates, and meth
ods Of payment 1t is the custom
among some tanners who do work for
farmers having only n few hides to
tan hide for half the leather. That
Is, the farmer sends in a hide and gets
back one-half of it made into leather,
usually paying the shipping charges
both ways.
A list Of tanneries that will tan one
or more hides for farmers may be
obtained from the bureau Of chemistry,
United States Department of Agri-
culture, Washington, d. G.
When high prices are charged for
leather In small quantities 1t is usually
possible to buy at a comparatively
low price by taking more at time. If
side Of leather is bought instead
Of a couple of pounds at time says
the circular, It is often possible to
buy It at only 10 to 20 per cent above
wholesale prices.

The supplying of glasses properly

suited in the change from a dull to

The boy or girl, to do good work
In school, should have good health

Lack of appetite in the morning is
often the result Of sleeping In a close,
poorly ventilated room, or keeping
too late hours.
Food for growing children should
be simple and easy Of digestion. Tea

All highly seasoned foods, sauces
and condiments which unduly excite
the digestive juices should be taboo.
The child's luncheon should be put

a manner as is possible. One who
packs a lunch each day has some
problem. Use plenty of cheap paper
napkins, wrap all moist foods, such
as sandwiches, in a separate paper
the waxed paper which can be bought
In quantities is especially good. Lunch
packing is becoming an art nowadays,
with so many attractive boxes, Ice
hot bottles, and all sorts of paper
dishes.

packed tin pail, and in many cases

GramOnt left the house, and headed
down toward the bayou shore.
He took letter from his pocket,
opened it, and glanced over 1t anew. 1t
was an old letter one written him
nearly two years previously by Lucle
Ledanois. 1t had been written mere
ly In the endeavOr to distract the
thoughts Of a wounded soldier, to
bring his mind to Louisiana, away
from the stricken fields of France. In
the letter Lucie had described some Of
the more interesting features of Bayou
Terrebonne-the oyster and shrimp
fleets, the Chinese and Filipino vii
lagos along the gulf, the far-spread
cypress swamps; the bubbllng foun-
tains, natural curlosities, that broke
up through the streams and bayous of
the whole wide parish-fOuntains that
were caused by gas seeping up from
the earth's interior, and breaking
through.
Gramont knew that plans were al
ready afoOt to tap this field of natural
gas and pipe 1t to New Orleans. OIL
had been found, too, and all the state
was now oil-mad Fortunes were be-
Ing made daily, and other fortunes
were being lost daily by those who
dealt with oil stocks instead of with
OIL
"Those gas fountains did the work !"
reflected Gramont "And according to
this letter there's one Of those foun-
tains here in the bayou, close to her
property. Just opposite the dock she
says. The first thing is to find the
dock then the fountain. After that
We'll decide if it's true mineral gas

Of what had once been a small boat
shed. Not far from this he found the

was left Of 1t except a few spiles pro-

But he had no need to look farther.
Directly before him, he saw that

then, abruptly, he started. 1t was a
violent start, start of sheer amaze

He leaned forward, staring no longer
at the gas dome, but at the water

thought that his senses had deceived
him, then he saw that the thing was
