LOWER PRICES FOR VARIOUS
HIGHWAY MATERIALS is SEEN

A considerably lower level of
prices for the various items entering
into highway construction is report
ed by the Bureau of Public Roads of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. This conclusion is based
on the following prices by successful
bidders on federal aid roads during
April and are averaged for the whole
of the United States. Some of the
figures cover a large volume OF work
we'll distributed over the country,
while others are based either on
small volumes or scattering reports.
The figures which cover the cost
in place are as follows: Earth exca-
walton, common, 80 cents a cubic
yard; rock excavation. v1.26 cubic
yard; gravel, $1.44 a cubic yard;
sand-elay, As cents a cubic yard;
crushed stone, $3.42 a cubic yard;
structural concrete of various classes
ranges from $14 to s2120 a cubic
yard. For surfacing the following
are the prices by the square yard:
Gravel, 40 cents; surface treated
macadam. SO cents; bitumionus mac
adam, $1.06; bituminous concrete,
s1.97; plain cement concrete, $217;
reinforced cement concrete, 1884;
brick, 1910. Reinforcing steel has
cost s0.O53 a pound and structural
steel $O.O59 a pound. Cement has
been furnished to contractors by the
following states at the prices given
by the barrel: New York. $1.73;
Wisconsin. s1.94; Arkansas, $2.70.

GOVERNMENT HYPOCRISY

Hypocrisy IN goRernemtn has done
more than anything else to create
disrespect for law. While II day be
true that national morals differ COM
pletely from the code set up for in
dividuals, the fact remains that the
national hypocrite always must suf-
fer when the mask is torn on. The
United States stands today as the
greatest bootlegger in the world and
the apotheosis OF buncome. On the
one hand appropriating money for
the punishment of individuals traf-
ticking in liquors, nthe other open
~ selling booze on American owned
ships, the government presents a
spectacle of humbuggery more dan
gerous than astounding, for there is
nothing OF news in the disclosure
that Amerisan ships have been sell
ing booze outside the threemile lin
It. This is and has baan always a
matter OF common knowledve. The
startling development is giving the
information officially 20 the public,
which has known all about the con-
dition and winked at the violation
without concern. Shipping men,
many Of them supporters OF prohibi-
lions, always have contended that
American ships cannot hold passen-
ger trade as against foreign ships II
the American ships are dry. and as
the dollar has been the standard OF
morality. the result has been a wet

GREAT SYSTEM OF HIGHWAYS
PLANNED FOR UNITED STATES

A system Of highways that will
serve the whole country and win be
far superior to any other in the
world is being mapped out by federal
and state engineers. II is estimated
that the system viii comprise $780,
900 miles of road. The federal high
way act recently enacted specifically
requires that all federal aid be spent
on a connected system of highways
consisting of not more than per
cent of the road mileage in each
state, and that this system shall con-
sist of interstate or primary roads
and intercounty or secondary roads.
Proposed systems have been re-
ceived by the Bureau of Public
Roads of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture from all but
eight states. They are plotted on a
large map OF the United States and
carefully examined as to co-ordina-
ton with the roads of adjacent states
and service to all sections of the
country. Where coordination is not
satisfactory conferences are held
with all interested state highway Off
Gals and routes adjusted
Many states have already adjusted
difficult problems with their neigh
bors. AS an example the system
sent in by Nebraska showed a big
gap in an important road along the
northern boundary. II was learned.
however, that South Dakota would
follow with system that would fit
like pictures on toy blocks. Since
the federal highway act oc last No
vember became a law, only roads GER
tain to be on the system have been
approved for consideration.

Historians who study newspapers
to learn the habits and customs Of
peoples say they gain more informa-
ton from advertisements than from
news accounts. and that the informa-
ton imported In advertisements is
more accurate. Advertisements tell
their stories without the intrusion OF
editorial blue pencil. They show the
development in transit. they disclose
the changing conditions OF the home.
they announce the birth Of scientific
discovery and invention. they prove
the worth OF that which is true and
lasting and numerically erpose the
sham and the fraud They tell of our
varying taste in dress, they show our
belief in sanitation, they disclose
our love for sport, describe our work,
they mark the change in the status
of womanhood and youth, they Wis
ualife the moulding of our morals
and our methods and present to us
humanity from the financier to the
finale hopper.
The newspaper subscriber who
fails to read advertisements misses
more than half the value of his ia
vorite publication. Advertising is
news of the highest importance and
the most reliable news presented to
the people. During the war, when
Michael Friedsam. the great New
York merchant was appointed to
serve as fair price commissioner by
the government, he mas asked how
the public could be kept informed as
TO honesty in prices. His reply was
terse an dtrue: LET them read the
newspaper advertisements"

GREEN MANuRING ANCIENT
MEANS OF IMPROVING SOIL

Green manuring = blowing under
green crops as a means OF soil i'm.
provement, although it has been EN-
phasized in recent years, can hardly
be called new discovery, says the
United States Department of Agricul'
ture. II is really one of the Oldest
methods. Crops for this purpose
we're used by the ancients, the Ro
mans using lupines, which were
sown in September and turned un
der in May for the benefit of the fol
lowing crop.
In Germany the use of lupines be-
gan in the middle of the nineteenth
century and has proved an important
factor in retaining the sandy lands
OF parts OF Prussia. In England leg
umes and other plants are common
ly used; in Indiana and Japan the
farmers gather green plants of many
kinds, sometimes even cutting twigs
from the trees and carrying them to
the rice fields.
In the United States the use OF
special green-manure crops is much
more general in the south than In
the north. Under irrigation they
play an important part in orchard
culture in the west, but not under
dry-farming conditions.

MANUFACTURERS NOW USING
APPLES TO THE LAST SEED

The thoroughness with which the
apple is now worked over and utiliz-
ed by some manufacturers makes 1t
comparable with the packing-house
pig that leaves only futile squeal.
The apple is not transformed into
such a variety of products as the
pig, but all are useful, and when the
last of the series has been made
hardly a smell is left.
In many of the apple-using factor
les the apples are first pressed to
produce cider, which may be sold as
such or may be manufactured into
vinegar After thorough pressing
the pomace is treated with hot water
to remove the pectin, which, after
publication, is sold in either liquid
or solid form to manufacturers of
jellies and similar products and to
housewives. The much-wasted and
squeezed residue is dried, ground
and sold as cattle feed.

HURRICANE SERVICE READY

United States Department Of Agri
culture, TO all its south Atlantic ana

September and October are the criti-
cal times, hurricanes are a menace

lean ships are necessary to American
progress. While prohibition is the
law, the United States should run
dry ships or no ships. Government
violation of its own laws is a dan
gerous precedent for any country to
set, and hypocritical evasion of the

as one of the results of the efforts
of the local agricultural experiment

with other territorial organizations
to encourage diversified production
and the local growing of table pro

BALLOTTNC FOR

names standing out prominently

They were those of DR. Parker, DR..
Ray Il. Hay of Houston, Texas and
DR.. j. .Dickey of Griffin, Ga.
Dr. Parker did not say whether he
would accept it if elected to the office
in spite of his request and there was
much conjecture as to whether his
name would go on the early ballots

the case.
