You needn't ask the cop.
 Wireless will guide you.
 That is, if the latest invention to direct the motorist is adopted along the highways of the United States.
 Travel along strange country roads in the future would be like vending your way through we'll known streets of your own city. No visible road signs, not a marker in sight,
 The invention, at the automobile owners end, consists of a receiving box on the dash connected by relay, amplifier and wire with a detecting coil above the radiator cap. A series of dots and dashes in Morse code is perforated on the face of the receiv- ing box and underneath are two ar rows, pointing opposite ways.
 Use of this end, however. cannot be achieved without cooperation of the federal and state highway commits sions. For transmission of the road signals would have to be under their supervision.
 Directions in Code
 Wires must be strung along each highway and connected by small cleo tric generators strong enough to set up a magnetic field along the wires. Over the wires are sent signals in Morse code e- a different signal for each link of road - which would be picked up by the receiving instrument on the automobile as it goes through the magnetic field.
 The box on the dash visibly records these signals. All the motorist need do to learn on what road he is is to consult his code book for the signal corresponding to the one recorded.
 The driver keeps his receiver open and, as he goes along his way, the changing of signals on the receiving box will tell him the various roads he Is taking. The arrows will flash to tell him the direction a set route turns when he comes to a crossing or fork and bell will sound if he is diverted from the main road.

is that the double-layer top serves to keep out heat instead of allowing it to beat through on the orive,.
 NOW look at the finish! Just like a S10,000 car. And that finish is strong; it will wear just as good, If not better, than leather.
 'Rattles? They are thing of the past. The coupelet, as -c.i as the Ford sedan, is constructed so as to run as quiet and smooth as an open car. Every inch of it is solid and will stay that way. l don't think there ever was or ever will be a smoother running, smoother riding or more eco nomical small car put out than the Ford coupelet,"
 There are many of these models in the Warren District. The above pie ture shows H. A. Germain, of the Warren-Bisbee railway. w,:n his new Ford coupelet. And Germain agrees with Jones that the midget fine-car Is all that is claimed for 1t, and then some.

like twin-six, easy riding and al- ways arriving at it's destination. Business men swear by the Ford ''coop;" hundreds of travelling men are using the model to make their rounds in every season. And femi, nine motorists have accepted the re- fined but husky little car as the ideal small car for women.
 The coupelet is built on the regu- lar Ford chasis-vanadium steel throughout. Just why is 1t so popu- lar? Lend Russell Jones, manager for Frank Bledsoe, local Ford distrib- utor, your ears for a coupel of sec onds and he will tell you.
 Its popular because its the great est little car on the market, Jones will tell you. Just look at it! If a cold snap comes along just pull up the windows and you can ride around as warm as toast When summer comes, drop the windows and you'll find the Ford coupelet cooler than the average open car.

states is almost the same as in the
 previous act, the fund being divided into three parts, one part apportioned according to population, one accord ing to area and the third according to mileage of rural and star mail routes. A new feature is the stipu, latidn that no state shaii receive less thaA one-half of one per cent of the total fund which amounts to $365, ,625 This stipulation will increase the amount received by .oa- c: the smaller states, Delaware, New Hamp- shire. Rrode Island and Vermont
 Considerable change, however, is made by the act m the manner in whic ha state may use it's allotment Each state must selecte a connected road system NOT exceeding seven pc rcent of it's road mileage TOT i'm provement with federal aid. This sys- tenn will be divided into two classes, one of which will be known as In- terstate highways and the other as intercounty highways. The interstate highways must not exceed three-sev. enths of the system selected; on them not more than 60 per cent of the states a1lotmena can be spent with out the joint approval of the secre. tary of agriculture and the state hign- way department The intercounty highways, which consist of the re- mainder of the system selected, will receive the remainder of the states allotment.
 Means Much to Nation
 Except in states where more than : per cent of the area is unappropr1- ated public land, the amount of fed eral aid received on any project must not exceed 50 per cent of the esti. mated cost. In states where more than per cent of the area :s un- appropriated public land the 50 per cent allotment is increased by an amount equal to one-half the percent. age of unappropriated public land in the state. Before any funds can De paid to state, the state must ap- money, under the direct con- trol of the state highway department. to match the federal allotment. and for the maintenance of federal aid highways.
 What the new appropriation will mean to the country can be judged by the use to which the $275, ,OOO, ,OOO previously appropriated has been put. according to officials of the United States department or agriculture. Practically OO.OOO,OOO of that money has been put to work in protects which are either entirely completed or now under construction. To match this amount the states have appropri. ated s265,O00,00O.

In addition, S15,- /000.000 was appropriated for national forest roads. The S75,000.000 repre- sents the federal governments appro- priation to the work of building high ways in the various states and must be matched, dollar for dollar, by funds from the state treasures except in states where not more than per cent of the area is unappropriated public land.
 Entire Sum Available
 The S75,000,000 appropriated is for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1922, and the entire sum is now available. Here is how the money will be ap- portioned among the AS states:

In case of detours a special trans hitter is set up directing the motorist along the temporary route. Before the point is reached, an arrow flashes indicating a turn in the road.
 The system is based on an inven- tion of Earl Hanson, an American, which was used during the war to guide ships silently through the dark ness into port.

he added. 1t was a broad threat that
meant a possible filibuster. Accepted
leaders like Underwood do not usually
stand for filibusters, but when con
servatives of his class place them
selves in this role it is plain enough
to figure out in advance what the pro-
gressives and so-called radical group
of the Senate expect to do this winter
in tying up the Legislative machinery.
Unified effort on the part Of the Sen
ate and the House might result in
putting through the Administrations
legislative program before next March.
But there is a hopeless lack Of any
such spirit, and warnings like Senator
Underwood's are sure to be repeated.
Many of the appropriation bills will
not be permitted to go through before
MOrch 4. The reason for this is OBJ
vious. The political complexion of
both branches Of Congress will be rev.
~olutionized in March. Because they
know this, the retiring leaders Of con-
gress are seeking to enforce their
views, and to pass their kind of laws
while they are in office. But 1.-The

HONEY PRODUCTION LARGE

Honey producers in the southern
and eastern parts of South Dakota re-
port their last yields at 300 and 400
pounds per colony, according to Ray
NJ. Gilcreast, assistant in agriculture
at State college and secretary of the
beekeepers' organization in this state,
These yields, according to the report,
come principally from sweet clover.
A large number of students at State
college are making a study of bee
raising, and from experiment they
have proved that sweet clover not only
produces the largest amount of nee
tar. but the honey resulting from it is
light cOlored and of a mild flavor,
commanding the top price in any mar
ket.
South Dakota grows in abundance
two Of the best honey-prOducing plants
in North America" Mr.. Gilcreast says
ia, and because there is no section of
the country better adapted for grow
ing these honey plants than South
Dakota, beekeepers miss an Opportun-
ity if they do not locate here"
During the past few years there has
been a sudden gain in honey produc-
ton in this state, and at present the
majority of bee raisers average 100
pounds each yield per colony. Those
in charge of agriculture at State col
lege are encouraged by the interest
students have been showing in this
work recently, and they believe that
in a comparatively short time bee
raising will be M of the most i'm
portant industries in South Dakota,
especially in the sections where alfal
ia and sweet clover grow in album
dance.
