DOGS GIVEN VICTORIA CROSS
Three Have Been Awarded Highest
British Decoration for Bravery
in Face of the Enemy.

The English in asking that the Vic
tOria Cross be awarded to the cat
which so herOically saved her young
during the fire of the Printemps only
follow an example given by the queen
of England herself. To appreciate
the value of this reward we must re-
member that the Victoria Cross is for
a soldier, general or private, the high
est military order.
In the last war at the utmost 80
have been awarded. However, several
dogs belonging to the British army
have received this honor. These were {:
Bob of the Royal Berkshire, which in
the Afghanistan war saved the life Of
several soldiers; Jack, which accom-
plished the same feats at the battle of
the Alma, and Jerry, the hero of the
Crimean war, which received from the
city of Dublin a medal and-a dinner
The odds are that the mess made the
dog happier than the medal.-New

state highway departments The sec
rotary is impressed with the need for
closest possible cooperation between
the federal government and the states
in the development of the federal-aid
highway system called for by the act,
and the value and serviceability of
the system will not be jeopardized by
hasty decision as to the roads which
will comprise il or the regulations TO
be followed in carrying out the pur-
poses of the legislation
Fifty million dollars of the APP
preparation became available January
1. The remaining $25.OOO.OOO was
made Immediately available upon APP
prevail of the act. November 9, last.
In formulating the fundamental
rules which will govern the states and
the federal government in administer
ing the law, the Department of Agri-
culture is seeking the counsel of the
state highway departments as repre-
scented by the executive committee of
the American Association of State
Highway Officials. Members of the com
mittee are: George Z. Coleman, state
highway commission, Virginia; Paul

EVEN CAREFUL
CAL0MEL USERS
ARE SALIvATED
Next Dose of TreacherouS Drug
May Start Misery
for You.

Calomel is dangerous. Tt may Salivate
you and make you suffer fearfully from
soreness of gums, tenderness of jaws
and teeth, swollen tongue and excess
sive saliva dribbling from the mouth.
Don't trust calomel. 1t is mercury /;
quicksilver.
If you feel bilious, headachy, constf-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get a bottle of DOd-
sons Liver Tone for a few cents which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just go back and get your
money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it may salivate you, while if you take
DOdson's Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great. No salts necessary. Give
1t to the children because it is per-
fectly harmless and can not salivate.

LEVEL CULTURE is FAVORED
AS Most Vegetables Require Much
Moisture, 1t is Best to Plant
Them on the Surface

Water still runs down hill Practice
level culture for most vegetables. Do
not make a raised bed on which to
plant, nor hill up much earth along the
rows in cultivating. Raised areas lose
water, not only because it flows away,
but also because they are exposed to
the drying action of the air Sweet po-
tatoes, however, are usually planted on
a low. broad ridge TO insure a good bed
of loose earth in which their roots
may develop. Irish potatoes, too, are
commonly hilled up in cultivation, but
the killing should be very slight in re-
gions and on soils where some drought
is to be expected.

doughbOy's mind is a picture of a
French village-the church, the hotel
de-ville, the estaminet. Very soon it
will happen that the unsuspecting
doughboy, rounding the base of the

life.
A faithful reproduction of a French
village IS planned at Medicine park,
near LawtOn, Okla, as a recreation
ground for members of the American
Legion. Its hotel-de-ville Will have an
auditorium seating 1000 and plans
are under way to have Legion posts
throughout the state erect their own
cottages where members may spend
their vacations.
Water and electric lights have been
donated toward the project by a citi-
zen of Lawton, and the native stone,
which is abundant at the foot of the
mountains, will make the. cost of
erecting the cottages small.

each project submitted by the states

SOY BEAN IN CROP ROTATION
Cash Value of Seed Is Sufficient to
Warrant Growing Beans as One
of Main Crops.

The soy bean may be combined ad-
vantageously in many systems of crop
rotation. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture says it is especial
ly adapted TO short rotations, taking
either an entire season or part of a
season following some grain crop. The
cash value of the seed is sufficient to
encourage growing the beans as one of
the main crops. When the whole sea-
son Is thus devoted to soy beans. they
take any place in a rotation system
where corn can be used.
