prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Surplus war material valued ut
$139, ,773,986 was delivered to the states
for use In road construction up to
July |, reports the bureau Of public
roads, fUnited States Department OF
Agriculture. The material, which con-
sisted Of all sorts of supplies and
equipment suitable for road building
fer 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 $S,-
100000 worth of material, and every
state with the exception Of i've Of
the smaller ones received supplies
valued at over $1,000,000.
This material has been of greet
value in road construction, and there
is hardly a county in the United States
in which some of it has not been
used.
Probably of greatest value has been
the 29,325 motor vehicles distributed,
consisting Of 24,752 trucks and 4,57S
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.

Sweet clover, as you know, spoiIs

crops most difficult to put up In good
condition during rainy seasons. Yet
the growing Of this kind Of hay not
only provides valuable forage for both
steers and milk cows, but also enriches
the soil wonderfully.

and need flushing occasionally, else we
have backache and dull misery in the
kidney region, severe headaches, rheu-
matte twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach,
sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder dis
orders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces OF Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take tablespoonful in glass OF water
before breakfast for few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to normal
activity. It also neutralizes the acids
in the urine 80 it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should take
now and then to keep their kidneys clean,
thus avoiding serious complications.

POUL TRY INDUSTRY
SHOULD BE DEVELOPED

If II was not serious ii would be
amusing to watch the workings. OF
the human mind. Nearly every day
we see Il coop Of chickens in the eX-
press office shipped in here from
some other section.
The price paid usually runs into
pretty good figures. And almost as
often. we see cOOps of these same
kind of chickens being shipped by
Rankin County breeders to other
sections. Express and handling
charges eating up the profits. or
course, it is well to bring good blood
into the county but a well established
truth about poultry is that the finest
handled, and any flock of scrub
chickens can be bred up to heavy
production by proper handling. We
might add right here. this is true Of
all animal life, especially of the COW
and chicken. There should be fifty
hens on every farm in Rankin
County.
But possession of the hens alone
would not bring profits. The owner,
must provide the right kind of feed.
Plenty OF green feed should be pro-
vided for winter use. There should be
an abundance of sorghum seed
crushed corn and wheat or oats.
Meat scraps help produce eggs. Moth
ing better can be fed than sour skim
med milk or butter milk.
Everyone of these things can be
produced in sufficient quantities on
every farm in Rankin County. The
average Rankin County hen lays
about eighty eggs per year. With
Il little study and the feed mentioned
above (and plenty of it, the average
production can be doubled. This
doubling will bring in four times as
much money. Here is how it works ::
The hen that lays eighty eggs, lays
those eggs in the late spring and
summer, when eggs are cheap.
The hen that lays the hundred and
fifty eggs lays at least half of them

Showing the Various Classes
Of Pavement Laid i'm Tulsa

Engineers throughout the entire
country have had to change the
specifications of pavement to
keep pace with the increasing
load and speed Of traffic.
A few years ago the maximum
load. carried by the largest horse
drawn wagon was about 5000
pounds, and the speed was from
three to four miles per hour.
Today the mammoth 5-ton motor
trucks weigh as much as $4,000
pounds when loaded, and travel
at speed of about Is miles per
hour.
The old types of pavement, such
as Class ID" shown at the left,
would not stand up under the
terrific strain. The impact of
the wheels of the mammoth
motor trucks on this light paw
ing was like the constant ham,
mering of a sledge-hammer. 1t
simply did not have sufficient
base and strength to stand the
gaff.
Class I'D" pavement was elimi-
mated entirely in December, 1920,
and Glass &c" pavement, shown
at the right, was adopted in
stead. This pavement has more
than twice the carrying capacity
as the old Class I'D" pavement.
