half Of the route. Since that time
Alabama, Georgia, Texas and other
states have increased their mileage
of Bankhead work.
Recommended Federal Aid
AT the last session of congress the
federal aid bill required that each
state designate per cent of its
highways as intrastate and county
roads. and per cent should be des-
lgnated is interstate and connected
highways in order to receive federal
aid. The Bankhead highway has been
recommended as per cent fed
eral aid road in the states of yir-
ginia, North and South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Ar
kansas, Texas, New Mexico, Okla
horla, Arizona and California. In
every sense of the word the Bank
head highway is now or will soon be
a governmental trans continental and
state highway. with the supervision
OF the federal government and the
state highways.
The Bankhead highway has grown
steadily since its establishment and
the route gives promise of being one
of the best systems in the country.
1t now seems that the Bankhead
highway is destined not only to be
a transcontinenta1 route but an in
ternational one as we'll.
The establishment of a branch line
connecting the main highway at
Mount Pleasant, Texas, and leading
to Laredo, Texas, on the Mexican
border, thence on to Mexico City, has
been proposed. This plan has been
favorably endorsed by the officials
of the Bankhead highway, and the ex-
ecutive committee. 1t is being en-
Enthusiastically received by the various
towns along the proposed route. and
is also endorsed by Mexican authori-
ties, who are reported as willing to
cooperate with the Mexican link.
A Texas Mexico division has been
organized and recently a large con-
vention was held at Waco in the in
terest of this line.
Convention TO Act
At Phoenix this plan will be
brought before the convention for
further action by the convention.
The Bankhead National Highway
association maintains headquarters
at Birmingham, Ala It is in charge
Of j. A. Rountree, director general of
the organization, who gives his full
time to advocating. promoting and
helping to build the highway. He is
assisted by competent office force.
The touring bureaus in the large ci-
ties have full information about the
Bankhead highway that has been fur
nished them. The route is strongly
growing in popularity. Every week
and almost daily inquiries are being
received at headquarters asking for
data, maps. log books and full in
formation about the route.
Five of the large map makers of
the country have made special maps
of tho Bankhead highway and are
furnishing information about the
route. The Bankhead highway is
firmly established and has attracted
favorable attention all over the
United States and especially along
the route in the 13 states which it
traverses.
This great transcontinental high
way promises to be one of the great
est highways that has ever been pro-
jected and will no doubt be federal
aid road completed and maintained
by the greatest government on earth
the United States.

EGG PRODUCTION
IS INCREASED BY
OYSTER SHELL FEED

Many complaints have been re-
corded this season by the poultry men
who have been getting soft shelled
and thin shelled eggs from their
flocks. There is a very great de-
ficiency in lime materials in this
valley and the successful poultryman
is absolutely forced to supply this
material. He first confronts the lack
of lime when he finds his baby
chicks weak in body and legs-legs
especially. Slow and retarded devel-
opment are almost invariably due to
lack of lime and must necessarily
produce very inferior laying stock
The following is an excerpt from
bulletin issued by the Oyster Shell
Products corporation, which should
be of benefit to every poultry man.
Contrary to popular belief, poultry
cannot extract sufficient lime for
bone and egg structure from grinding
materials that may consist of almost
anything from gravel to carpet tacks
Many farms do not contain enough
lime to She'll 4 dozen eggs, and when
the system of the fowl cannot supply
enough lime for shells a slow and
small yield of eggs is the invariable
result.
Lime is as essential to the profit
,
as are the proper food elements, and
can be fed in no better form than that
found in the pure ground oyster
shell.
Bearing out this statement are the
results of countless painstaking ex-
periments carried on by state and
governmental departments, by agri-
cultural schools and colleges, and by
private investigators in all parts of
the United States. One authority,
with access to many sources OF in
formation, both personal and statis-
tical, states that millions of dollars
are lost to the poultry trade annually
through the breakage of thin shelled
eggs alone, and that young birds arc
constantly suffering from weak legs
and deformed bones, particularly
crooked breast bones, resulting from
an insufficient amount of lime in
their ration. Poultry and agricultural
publications without exception con-
form to the opinion that pure ground
oyster shell is unequalled as bone,
meat and egg builder; while those
who are commercially engaged in the
business pronounce this material
proven essential in the profitable and
economic handling Of poultry.
One pound OF oyster shell will fur
nish enough lime for seven dozen
eggs, though this fact has little to
do in determining the ration quail
ity. Hen sense takes care Of that
and if pan of shell is kept con-
stantly accessible the fowls will take
only the amounts they require.
Do not mix it with scratch feed;
for while scratching is undoubtedly
beneficial it can be provided for by
other material without wasting the
ground oyster shell in the process.
From the day the baby chicks
emerge from the shell until their
maturity their systems demand
generous supply of carbonate of lime.

Reds Of Liberty

Boston, Jan. 12.-The circuit court
of appeals today over-ruled q deci-
sion by Judge Anderson of the Fed.
q group of radicals who had been or
dered deported. AS result of the
circuit courts decision, Mr. and Mrs.
William T. Colyer of Wellesley;
Frank Mack of this city, and Lew

immigration authorities again for de-
portation.

was averted by. the writs of hGbeas
corpus granted after Judge Ander-
sons ruling will not be affected by
the ruling of the court Of appeals. it
was said, as no appeals were taken
by the government in their cases.
The decision of Judge Anders II
was based on the grounds that there
was no evidence before the immigra-
ton authorities to show that the
Communist party. Of which all the
persons involved We're admittedly
members, advocated overthrow Of the
government by violence.
The court Of appeals held that it
was mot clear that the judge had
before him all the evidence that was
before the secretary of labor when
deportations were ordered" and it
was added that, "this being true, it
was not within the power of that
court or this court to say whether the
deportations were unawarranted."

Deny Science
Trustees Made
Improper Payments

Boston, Jan. 12-Denial that the
| trustees of the Christian Science
publishing society had made impro-
per payments to various persons or
] had spent unreasonable sums of
money was made by John .R. Watts
business manager of the society. at q
hearing before Judge Crosby of the
supreme court today on the question
of allowance of the accounts of the
trustees. He defended payments
made to employees in addition to
their regular salaries as necessary to
hold the organization together after
the supreme court decision which
upheld the right of the directors of
the First Church of Christ, Scientist,
to remove the trustees.
Up tonight Judge Crosby had not
entered the expected introductory
decree accepting the designations Of
Trustees Herbert w. Eustace and
Paul Harvey. He explained that he
was Withholding the decree because
he had learned thdr p1cadings had
not been completed when he an
nounced yesterday that he thought it
advisable to accept the designations.
Mr.. Watts, the only witness heard
today was still on the stand when the
hearing was adjourned until next
Monday morning. At the opening of
the hearing the directors presented
their answer to the trustees petition
for approval OF their accounts. They
charged that the trustees had used
CO.
extra compensation to employees,
had "wastefully employer firm of
accountants at q cost of more than
$40, 600 and had spent unreasonable
sums Of money on branch Office in
San Frncisco. They reserved the
right to make further charges@
Mr.. Watts said that audits of the
ployed by tho trustees and the di-
rectors respectively agreed. He ex-
planned that branch offices at San
Francisco and London were estab-
lished for distribution of the publish
ing society's periodicals after the liti-
cation between the trustees and the
directors had resulted in a boycott
being declared against many of the
publications in California.
After the supreme court decision.
he said, many employees began seek
ing new positions. He defended the
extra payments made to keep them
in the organizations as entirely right
and necessary"
Under cross examination Mr.. Watts
gave the following profits and losses
Of the society:
Six months ending September so.
1920, profits 400. Six months
ending March 81. 1921 loss, s50,993:
six months ending Sept. 80, 1921. loss
s67.311; month of October, 1921, loss
s26.920; month or November 1921, loss
$36,1S7.
When counsel for the direction in
troduced the questions of who was
responsible for the failure of the pub
fishing society, Sherman L. Whipple,
counsel for the trustees, retorted:
1--WE are ready to meet that if we
can explain it and we are ready to
connect it right up with your clients"
Judge Crosby ended the discussion
by saying the "failLre was obviously
due to the litigation" of which it was
"a natural, INEVITABLE consequence"

No Plenary Session

Washington, Jan. 12-(By A. P.)-
Further details of both the naval
treaty and the Shantung negotia-
tons were ironed today, but the arms
delegates gave UP lope Of plenary
session thissweek to announce definite
results.
The big five" completed its first
revision of the naval convention and

Sarraut, head of the delegation. an
nounced that he wou'9 go ahead with

Among American officials in the
conference however. there was some
apprehension that NJ. Brands re-
tirement might have Il far reaching
effect on the naval Limitation pro-
gram. 1t was pointed out that the
retiring premier had been directly
responsible for Frances withdrawal
