Judge Hears Pleas
Against Skinners
Arguments on Behalf Of Stock.
holders to Enter Court
Actions Made.

Judge ]. w. Woodrough in United
States district court yesterday lis
tened to arguments by attorneys in
connection with litigation involving
the right Of stockholders OF the
Skinner Packing company to bring
actions in the state courts.
The court recently issued a tem-
porary restraining order in favor OF
Keith Neville, receiver Of the Skim
ncr company, and against various
stockholders.
The arguments referred TO the
case of Samuel Lydick, stockholdcr,
pending in the district court here.
This case was started in the lower
court before the appointment of Mr..
Neville as receiver by the federal
court. ....a
The ease also involves the ques-
ton of how far the federal court
may 60 in conserving the resources
of the Skinner company and what
force and effect judgment OF
the lower court would have against
the receivership. In resisting the
temporary order obtained by the re-
ceiver, Mr.. Lydick alleges that there
are not reasonable grounds for the
appointment of a receiver.
Judge Woodrough deferred his
decision for FIVE days.

PAVED ROADS AND DAIRYING
A. More improved Highways Are
Constructed Milk Routes Are
Being Extended.

Paved roads and dairying go hand
in hand. AS more improved roads are
constructed, milk routes are extended
and the farmer farther from the city
is prodvided with market for his
milk. Over unimproved routes re-
curing wagon delivery, the longest
route possible is only approximately
10 miles while over paved highways,
travelled by motortrucks, routes COW
ering as high as 40 miles are estab-
lished. Large areas of prospective
dairy country are waiting only the
construction of more hard surfaced
roads. When these are built, many
more farmers, now cut off from their
market, will receive the benefit of the
economical and rapid transportation
made possible BY the motortruck and
the paved highway.

WIDER HIGHWAYS WIN FAVOR
Originally Engineers Considered 10,
Foot Roadway Adequate-Now =.
Urge 20 Feet.

Former Superintendent OF Illinois
Highways s. e. Bradt of DeKalb, Ill,
who has done much to boost the good
roads movement in his state, says en-
gineers originally considered a 1O-foot
highway adequate to meet the needs Of
traffic between populous centers.
Then they learned the folly Of this
contention and boosted the width. It
was finally made 18 feet. Roads are
being built Is feet in width and now
come prominent engineers advocating
q 2O-foot highway.
The shoulder maintenance is prom
inent factor entering into this prob
lem. The upkeep Of shoulder usual
ly exceeds the original cost of the ex-
ira two feet of pavement, 1t has been
learned by experience. For this reason
highway experts are going on record
advocating the wider pavement for
trunk line highways. The upkeep Of
shoulders is very high, especially
where there is heavy truck traffic.

French. Note in
Spring Clothes

No rigid rules govern the spring
fashions. Elasticity Is the predomi-
mating idea, declares o Paris fashion
writer in the New York Tribune. "Pay
your money and take your choice"
tersely summarizes the Paris dress
makers attitude toward this springs
fashions. Everybody seems to be. as 1t
we're, practicing an electric method or
system, choosing whatever seems best
In present and past dresses with a
view to presenting models that include
the excellencies of all previously tested

HIGHWAYS ON PACIFIC COAST
Various Western States and Govern
ment to Spend Immense Sum
for Road improvements

Twenty million dollars, the largest
amount of money expended In one year
on the Pacific coast by the federal
government on state highways and
post roads. is to be spent during this
season. The western states. Washing
ton, Oregon, California, Wyoming,
Colorado, Montana, Idaho, Nevada,
Utah, Arizona and New Mexico will
expend the same amount. Many Of
the roads will be 20 feet wide and Of
concrete six inches thick, much heavier
than highways built by the states
heretofore.
