INCREASE OF BETTER SIRES
Persons Have Done Away With Scrubs and Grades.

Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculturel
 The Better SireS-Better Stock" ! campaign, inaugurated by the United States Department of Agriculture in the autumn of 1919 to stimulate the replacement of lOw-claSs breeding ami mals with purebred sires and improved females, has gone ahead with in- creased impetus in recent months in spite of depression in the farming apd livestock business During the last quarter year ending September 30. S94 persons were enrolled as having done away with all scrub and grade or crossbred sires and having determined to use only purebred sires henceforth for all classes of stock raised. This shows a promising increase over the two preceding quarters in which "A and 333 persons, respectively, were enrolled. There was Corresponding gain in both animals and poultry re- ported by these owners, the com bined total for the three months reaching 10S906.
 One of the encouraging develop ments of the campaign is the spread of this improvement idea throughout the country. Farmers and breeders of all kinds in nearly all the states are signing the pledge to eliminate poor blood in their herds and fiocks. The leading state in the number of new members for the last three months was Virginia, with 2S1. Ohio was a good second, with 259, and ex- ceeded Virginia by considerable margin in the number of animals and poultry pledged to be bred only to purebred sires Nebraska was third. with 153, and Kentucky fourth, with 145. Oklahoma, the next in order, al though having comparatively few signers. showed a widespread interest, with 19 new counties joining the ranks.
 Belmont county, Ohio, led the coun- ties in the country in the progress made during the last quarter, with 54 new signers. Hardin. another Ohio county, had 45, and Licking county 39. Six counties in Virginia had more than 20 each. Three counties in Kentucky had more than ,25 each. and three in Nebraska each exceeded 20.
 In the two years that the campaign has been in progress 102,437 cattle have been listed by men who have signed the Better Sires-Better Stock
 
 49,357 swine, 12,321 sheep, 2,7S9 goats, and 404,717 poultry have been listed. This makes a total of 643,943 animals

IMPROVED ROADS
WAR SUPPLIES FOR HIGHWAYS
So Far Approximately s15o,ooo 900 Worth of Surplus Material Has
 Been Distributed.

(Prepared by the United States Departmen nt
 of Agriculture.)
 Approximately S15O,000,000 worth of surplus war materials, turned over by the War department to the Depart ment of Agriculture, were distributed through the bureau of public roads to the various states for road-building purposes up to November l last.
 Under the Wadsworth-Kahn bill this surplus war material is sent to the states with the sole provision that it be used only for road-building pur- poses. A vast accumulation of ma chinery, equipment, supplies and mo- tor vehicles that was to have been used in France has thus been diverted to a useful peace-time purpose.
 Included in the supplies distributed among the states are 27,19S motor vehicles, mostly trucks; 172 locomo- tives of various sizes; 25,O00 gross tons of rails; more than 4,500,000 pounds of powder; and nearly 10000 tons of INT.
 A compilation showing total deliv- cries of war materia, to the various states up to July l, last, places the value of machinery, equipment and supplies so delivered at $3064S,779 of motor vehicles, STA. .730,56S; and of spare parts, at 1,731, ,424. The total value of deliveries to the states up to that date was $117,110,771. That fig ure did not include material to the value of approximately 1000 900, which was retained by the Department of Agriculture, largely for forest road

organdy and net play their dainty parts so that wardrobes of the little folks may be made up now ready for spring.
 These styles generally follow ac- cepted modes with many straight line dresses for little tots and belted or sashed models for older children, all having short or three-quarter length sleeves. Neck openings are usually round or square and, more often than not, they are collarless, or a collar is merely simulated. Simplicity re- mains the keynote in these beautiful styles, but more attention is given to details of finishing than heretofore.
 The smart little dress of cotton crepe shown here is an example of the straight line style that is liked best for children under twelve years. Its short

GENTLE TAP OF FAN FATAL
Man Dreaming of the Days of the GuiIIotine Died When His Wife
 Touched His Neck.

Arthur MacLaughlin of Detroit is re- sponsible for this story sent me by my friend, Leo D. Brown, of the Cos mopolitan Book corporation:
 "A Reno gent had, on a Saturday night, become very much absorbed in The Tale of Two Cities Particularly was he impressed with the description of the guillotine and the misfortunates upon whose necks it descended so dew astatingly The vision preyed upon his imagination.
 Next day his wife insisted that he accompany her to church. He drOwsed during an inordinately long prayer and dreamed that the guillotine was about to descend on his bent neck Wife, upon resuming her seat when the prayer was over, noticed that her hus- band was asleep and still leaning for ward, his head resting on his hands on the pew ahead. And so, with her fan, she tapped him lightly upon the back of the neck. Whereupon the gent fell dead"
