Poultry growers have made extra
early matches of chickens this season.
Several farm yards have broods I'M

it easy to care for the young chicks
in the poultry houses.
A few farmers seem willing to try
growing peas again, after two seasons
of bad results.
Tomatoes at SIS per ton will be an
inducement for farmers to try that
crop again, while the early plantings
of white potatoes will be about the
same acreage as in former seasons.
The bitter winter cold of last week
pinched several who had not, provid-
ed a supply of wood, thinking that the
winter weather was about over. They
had opportunity to get exercise and
keep warm at the same time while
they chopped the trees and hauled fire
wood for domestic use. Better think
and act in proper season, regardless
of the weather.

HOW ROADS CAN BE MADE
TO PAY FOR THEMSELVES

Endorsement by many automobile
clubs of a gasoline tax to provide
funds for extending highway con-
struction has caused adverse comment
from some persons not aware of the
sound reasons for this proposal.
Tests conducted by several state
highway commissions have establish
ed the fact that if this tax revenue
from gasoline is spent for paved roads
the motorist will get his money back
Immediately in extra mileage per gal
lon and will draw additional diVi-
dends through longer life to tires and
car, as well as safety and comfort in
travel.
One such representative test in To-
wa brought out the graphic compari-
sons. The Iowa Engineering Expert
ment Station at Ames has published
the following report of its researches:
Tractive resistance figures for fuel
consumption indicate that the average
ton-miles obtained per gallon are
Earth road --14 tOn-miles
Gravel road I'll tOn-miles
Concrete road -31 ton-miles
At "a cents a gallon for gasoline this
average would give the following fuel
cost per ton-mile:
Earth road -.----.- -.-.----.--------1.71 cents
Gravel road --.-...-.-------1.15 cents
Concrete road .---------.-.-------- .I1 cents
Weighing stations were established
on important trade routes and aver
age weights for each general type of
vehicle fixed:
IOrcn dT.a vTu ma ssan onrs 677 lhS
Horse drawn freight -----------199S lbs.
Passenger automobiles .-.--------2691 lbs.
Motor driven freight --.----.-2720 lbs.
Applying these weights to various
types of vehicles using a given road
gives the daily average tonnage. APP
plying to this tonnage the cost of gas
oline per ton mile on this specific type
of surface gives data showing the
economic advantage of paving. A
specific instance was ;aken in a road
leading from Ames as link of the
Lincoln Highway. 1t was a gravel
road.
The daily average traffic was 904
vehicles. Daily average tonnage 1882.
Cost per ton-mile of fuel, on gravel,
LIS cents, on concrete IT Of cent. If
the road were paved the possible saw
ing would amount to .S8 of cent per
ton-mile on gasoline alone.
This saving when applied to the
daily average tonnage Of 1882 tons
gives an average daily saving to mo-
torists of $4.78 on every mile. In a
year this saving per mile to motorists
equals S1,746.
From such authoritative figures
-.
ammunition for the campaign to meet
the nations needs for more hard-sur-
faced highways. By explaining to mo-
torists that in paying an additional
tax for gasoline they are investing in
paved roads which will return immed-
late dividends, they are bringing the
matter before the automobile owner in
a most favorable light.

LARGE AREAS TO WATCH

Members of the police force who
perform duty in the outlying dis

jections concerning the use OF We
hicies in such service. In four OF
the precincts there are many miles
Of territory to be covered. and in only
one Of them Is the commanding Of

conveyance to take him to the dis
tant points in his precinct.
Lieut.. Giles. in charge of the Ten
leytoWn district, is the one lieutenant
in the outlying districts so equipped.
II Is pointed out that the lieutenants
are on duty during part OF the time
when there is no street car service
to assist them in reaching far distant
portions of their precincts. with the
result that they have to confine their
street duty almost exclusively to the
city portions Of their precincts
Use Own Autos.
There are forty motor cycle police

receive $500 a year for the purchase

are a number of policemen who have
their own automobiles and use them

District at hours when better-paid
government employees are at home in
bed.
Such policemen do not receive as
much as an occasional gallon OF gas
from the District. being required to
pay for 1t from their salaries. 1t has
been only a few months ago that
number of such persons had to pay

This is the problem which con-
fropted John ]. Mitchell. veteran Chi

chants Trust company, q consollda-
ton of two large Chicago banks.
1T is no novelty to me to be a
bank president said Mr.. Mitchell,
"and down at Pasadena l had Just
found the most wonderful new driver.
Fancy an old man like me making
200 yards" -.
Mr.. Mitchell had just shifted the
responsibility of one bank from MS
shoulders when he was recalled from

that of still larger bank. o.
Understand, of course. that l ap-
preciate the honor" said Mr.. MITCHELL

Fifty year ago John J. Mitchell be.
gan his banking career when lad OF
90. he entered the Illinois Trust and
Savings bank as office boy. His pheno-
menal rise to the presidency OF the
institution in six brief years has been
the solaee of many downhearted
young beginner. At that time he was
hailed as the youngest bank presi-
dent in the world.
When the bank Of which Mr.. Mitch
ell was president recently merged
with the Merchants Loan and Trust
company to form the new Illinois
Merchants Trust company, Mr.. Mitch
ell gladly became chairman of the
board of directors and went off re-
ioicing in the thought of long vaca-
ton, with Edmund ID. Hubert. presi-
dent of the second bank in the mer-
ger. executive head of the new insti-
tuition. The sudden death OF Mr..
Hubert ten days ago, however, let the
mantle of office fall upon his should

DR.. Montgomery, under instructions
from Foreign Minister Tchitcherin,
formal commitment in which the Sow
let government undertakes to provide
suitable lands.
NJ. Karakhan said Russia would
take care of 10000 persons during
the first year and an equal number
each succeeding year until the opera
ton was completed.
The Soviet government agrees to
give the Armenians an autonomous
government under what is called the
cantonal form, that is TO say, with
their own Soviet.
1t is possible that an international
commission may be formed to handle
the refugees.
Upon his arrival in the United
States, DR.. Montgomery will lay the
results of his mission before those
who have been interested in finding
a safe asylum for the Armenians.
