Drier Even Than the Sahara.

Australian bushcraft Is a craft Pc
culiar to the Australian bush. It con-
Germ itself less with killing the crawl
ing desert-life for food than with d.
vining the whereabouts Of water in a
land which is drier even than Sahara
Travellers say that no man who has
not mastered the subtleties of the
craft should penetrate distanty and
alone the Western dry lands of the
continent A North American Indian
would perish of ignorance. A Bed
ouin of the sandy Arabian deserts
would in any dire extremity die help
less. "Find a niger, and you'll get
water" is an old axiom. In the back
blocks Of central Western Australia
there are no fixed fresh wells, gener-
ally dependable, as in the African and
Arabian deserts. And, consequently,
there are no determined routes Of
travel, like the caravan routes of the
Sahara-no main-traveled roads from
I.oint to point. Nor is there any travel
ing from point to point. 1t is wilder
ness-of 100000 square miles.

Minnesota Road Funds
Topped by Other States
Less Than Many Other States is Used
for Highway Work Here, Re-
ports Indicate

Minnesota, although widely known
for good roads, is using less money fol
highway betterments than many other
states, says state highway bulletin
It's current trunk highway funds av-
eraged about $7,500,000 a year to
date under the new program ST.
$1,000 of motor vehicle taxes and
S1,415,OOO of federal aid in 1921 and
$6,500,000 Of taxes ond S1,450,0O0 OF
aid in 1922. Good roads funds in 9th
er states are added from listings be-
lieved reliable.
Texas with $1OO,OOO,OOO of highway
bonds used $5O,000,0OO in 1921 and be-
gan on the second $5O,0OO,OO this year.
taking from Minnesota the distinction
of having the largest mileage of COM
pleted federal aid highways. Pennsyl-
vania voted $100,000,O0O bonds for a
4-year program and used $4,000, 00C
in 1922. North Carolina voted $780,
100000 for years and used $22, 0OO,-
900 the first s months of 1922. Hi
nois used more than $5,000,O00 of
bond money in 1921 and 1922 in adj
dition to $17,5O0,OOO year in motor
vehicle taxes and federal aid. Mis-
souri, had $116,0O0,00O available for
roods, $16,000,0OO direct appropria-
ton and bond authority and federal
aid for the balance. California voted

in Arizona has completed 300 miles
of paving at $S,5OO,OO0. Iu Florida
two counties spent $3,0O0,0OO each on

Tennessee is campaigning for $751;

The bulletin adds that many people

out that Minnesota must provide more

Kelloggs Appreciate
Advertising in Herald
Had, Wonderfully Successful Year
Thanks to Newspaper Friends,
Says Advertising Manager

Among the Christmas presents re-
ceived this year by the Editor of The
Herald, none is more highly priced
than the package of Kellogg's pro-
ducts which was accompanied by a
letter of sincere appreciation express
ed to the newspaper boys by the adj
vertising manager of that great con-
Germ. We receive plenty of knocks,
and it rather warns the cookies of our
heart when someone sees fit to express
sentiment of appreciation, as wit
ness the following excerpt from the
letter which accompanied our Christ
mas present:
"We've got heart full of appre-
citation for the way the newspapers
have gotten behind the Kellogg pro-
ducts the past year. We had a Won
derful distribution and sales increase,
thanks to our newspaper friends Co
operation, and we want to put lot
of the credit right where it is due.
"Kellogg's Corn Flakes have en-
joyed the very biggest twelve months
in all our history; Kellogg's Brand
truly benefit to humanity-has won
an enormous clientele; Kellogg's
Whole Wheat Krumbles have steadily
increased-and now we anticipate
making Pep, the remarkable new Kel-
ligg product, the greatest seller OF
them ALL"

FINANCING GOOD ROADS

State Highway Commissioner Bah
cock in recent bulletin calls atten-
ton to the fact that Hennepin county,
with only one-hundredth of the seven
thousand mile trunk highway system
within its borders, pays one-ffth of
the total motor vehicle taxes of the
state. This county, moreover, pays
six times as much in State Highway
aid as it receives, and, in addition,
transfers part of it's State aid to
nearby counties for road projects con-
Meeting with Minneapolis.
If it is more blessed to give than to
receive, Hennepin county is certainly
blessed.
The Hennepin delegation to the new
Legislature is said to be favorably in
clined to the proposal made by Mr..
Babcock for the issue of ten millions
in road bonds for 1923 and the
st. Louis delegation are also report
ed to be of similar mind.
If the three largest counties in the
state, the ones that pay most and
in return receive relatively the least,
are in favor of pushing the completion
of the states road system by means
of annual bond issues, surely the
rest of the state should find no diff
Guilty in acquiescing. Thus the burden
of providing the whole system of roads
will be shared with the next genera
tion-as it should be.-The Minneap-
oils Journal.

Plants Have Heart and Pulse.

Plants have heart and pulse and a
"blood circulation" very similar to thai
of the animal world. This is the SEN
sational discovery of Sir Jagardis
Chandra Bose, the famous Indian bot,
anist. According to Sir Jagardis, greal
quantities of water are absorbed daily
by the average tree. This water is driv'
en- up to the very top of the tree and
then breathed out again through the
leaves. Experiments were carried out
by Sir Jagardis at his botanical insti,
tute in Calcutta. He says there is nc
characteristic manifestation of animal
life which could not be found in simple
form in plants also. The plant has a
heart beat and pulse" astonishingly
similar to that of animals. Besides, II
also reacts upon stimulation in almost
the same way, and shows that it pos
sesses a nervous system.

due respect to the President and the
government he represents, records of
the Tenth District Veterans Bureau,
including Minnesota, Montana and the
Dakotas, show that out of total of
6,166 claims filed from these four
states, the majority of which call for
hospital care, only 1921 buddies are
receiving disqualification, although
thousands of others await treatment
which cannot be furnished because of
lack of beds in this district. This de-
lay will undoubtedly mean the loss
OF many lives of boys who have al
ready sacrificed their health in the
service of their country. The majority
of these cases are suffering from tub
erculosis or euro-phychiatric (ner-
vous and mentaD disorders.
About year ago, through national
legislative efforts of the American
Legion, rulings were made whereby
branch offices of the u. S. Veterans
Bureau at Washington, such as the
Tenth District Bureau Headquarters
in Minneapolis, were empowered to
make final decisions and ratings on
the claims of veterans, instead of
following the previous red-tape pro-
cedure Of sending all claims to the,
central bureau at Washington for
ratings and decisions, entailing delay
and inefficiency. However, it has re-
Gently come to the attention of the
American Legion of Minnesota that
this old custom is again being used
that the Veterans Bureau at Washing
ton is refusing to accept as final the
ratings and decisions of Subdistrict
Manager Hubbard of the Tenth Dis
trict and insists that they be sent to
Washington for review by the FEEDER
al Board of Appeals. This is unfair
to the disabled veteran. 1t didn't
require a review by Washington Of
! fcials to issue the order which sent
h these same buddies over the top in

Perhops leather won the war. More
than $4,000 mules and horses were
in Uncle Sans Army. 1t took l, 673,-
1919 brushes, 2,033204 nose-bags, g.
85O,S5 halters, 945,00O saddles and
712,510 spur-straps to equip them.
J Our army leather cost three quarters
of a billion dollars. One reason for
| the high cost of civilian shoes follow
ing the war was that Uncle Sam
called for more leather for his army
than America produced, which is one
reason why he had to pay more than
81 per pair for the shoes Of his
doughboys.

Guam Problem Solved.

The problem of preserving viable
seeds in the tropical climate of Guam
from harvest until the next planting
season has been solved by the federal
agricultural experiment station on
that island by devising simple con-
tainer made of metal or glass, so sur
rounded by coconut or other slowly
volatile oil as to make it moisture,
insect and rat proof. Seeds free from
insects and insect eggs and properly
dried when placed in the tank will
keep in good condition and maintain
their terminating power indefinitely.

Bird colorings.

Joanna Southcott.

Joanna Southcott was an English
religious fanatic, who lived from 1850
to 1914. She was originally a Meth
odist. but about 1892 conceived the
idea that she had supernatural, gifts.
She wrote and dictated prophecies In
rhyme and announced herself as the
woman spoken Of in Revelations II.
At the request Of William Sharp she
came to London and began to seal

from IL to 81 shillings. She died OF

spenser as a Sacred Poet.

The claim of Spenser to be consid.

means rest upon his hymns alone. But
whoever will attentirely consider ''The
Faerie Queene" itself will find that it
is, almost throughout, such as might
have been expected from the author
of those truly sacred hymns. 1t is a

feelings of an inquiring and romantic
