Skim Milk Valuable for
Feeding Young Animals

Skim milk is worth very much more
for feeding to pigs and calves than to
dairy cows. but when a surplus is at
hand it is all right to use it. At the
Connecticut station, when separator
skim milk was offered to the old cows,
only four would drink it, even though
water was withheld for forty-eight
hours and grain was mixed with the
milk. With the four cows. skim milk
was substituted for concentrates in
the ration at the rate of eight pounds
Of milk for one OF concentrates. This
substitution caused an increase In tho.
yield OF milk. 81

The maximum use OF roads can
only come when they are made
safe for maximum use. A dam
gerous road will always be less used
than a safe one and road danger
ously used by some will be less used
by others than a road wisely used by
all.
AT the present time two states give
licenses to drivers without any exam
ination of any kind. Ask for it, pay
fee, and get it. Drive anyway-safely,
dangerously, drunkenly; these States
apparently do not care; Ten States
have no age limit on drivers; you can
give child of five car and tell him
to drive to town without violating the
law.
Naturally, these states do not have
roads as safe as other states which
insist on ability to drive before grant
ing license and recognize the fact
that ton and half of steel at speed
is no missile to put in the hands or the
judgment of small child.
One of the great benefits which will
result from the establishment of ma
/ tional highways throughout the nation
will be uniform laws for their use.
Such laws will not in anyway con-
flict with State laws, for the States
through which the highways pass will
have equal voice in the making of
national highway laws 1t is evident
that when road is national property
the Nation is responsible for who shall
and who shall not drive upon it and
the speeds at which driving shall be
done. More and more is it coming to
be believed that great trunk-line high
ways must be more than single roads;
that they must have central span for
fast going and other spans for slower
going. The way to make speed safe is
not to hold it down but to make a
place for it. But the immediate ques-
ton is not so much safety from speed
ing as safely from incompetence of
driving as well as incompetence of
road building, which permits the dan
gerous curve, the unfenced bend near
a bluff, the too narrow road, the abb
sence of illumination, etc.
These and the problems of no laws
or poor laws, may be solved in time,
under any system, but will be solved
speedily and solved we'll by the estab-
lishment of a system of national high
ways, great trunk lines, built and for
ever maintained by the National Gov
eminent, which will also supervise
their use and police their length.

Bribery Charged To
Thomas B. Fielder

NEW YORK,-Thomas B. Fielder,
an attorney, was indicted by federal
grand jury Friday with CASTOR B.
Means, former agent for the depart
ment of Justice and Elmer Jarnecke
the latter's secretary, charged with
having conspired to bride the attor-
ney general of the United States, at
torney for the Southern District OF
New York and two of his assistants.
A second count in the indictment
charges the trio with the obstruction
of justice. The accusations are based
an an alleged attempt of Fielder
Means and Jarnecke to prevent the
prosecution of large number of de-
PENDANTS charged with conspiracy to
use the mails to defraud in the sale
of stock of the Glass Casket company
of Altoona, Pa.
The indictment recited that the
three had received $65,000 from the
defendants in the Glass Casket COM
pany case, which they are alleged to
have declared they would use in brib-
ing the attorney general the local
United States attorney and his assist
ants.

Letter From
Wesley R. Walker
Fitzgerald, March, 7, 1924.

Fitzgerald, March, 7, 1924.
Mr.. Editor:
Dear Sir: If you will allow me l
desire to say to the public that the
election to be March 10Th will be the
most holly contested election held in
Ben Hill County in many years, there
fore some folks will stoop to the lowest
eb known to civilization to down this
candidate or that candidate by resort
ing to dirty methods to do it, thereby
causing people 10 fall out with one an
other creating hard feelings that pos
sibly will take a life time to get over.
Why should this be so because of the
evil dins that are in men wins saiinot
yield to the things that will bring
peace and harmony in a community
by stirring UP strife and hatred in or
der to gain any thing by trying to
plant corrupt seed in the minds of his
fellow men, which may loom up to be
hatred and possibly bloodshed, and in
the end accomplish nothing. There
will be if not already, an attempt made
by some to get this candidate or that
candidate to fall out with his oppo-
nent on this charge or that charge.
This should not be done. We are all
prone to do wrong and we have all
fallen short of the duties we owe each
other in applying the Golden Rule,
DO unto others as you would that
they do unto you"
trust that in this heated cam
paign that no one will get beyond self
control or indulge in that which will
cause or bring about confusion. That
our county may prosper by that friend
ly relationship we are due each other
after the election is over March 10Th
May we conduct ourselves as candi-
dates and as voters in a way that on
March 10th, after the election is over
we can shake hands with each other
friendly and with unity pull together
for the upbulding of our county in
trying to- make it a better place to
live in, and endeavor to present to our
future generation a better prospect for
better living, by closer cooperation
in driving out hatred and dscord and
establishing a friendly relation for
peace and harmony which in the long
run will prove blessing for all.
Respectfully,
Wesley R. Walker.

HOW MUCH DO YOU
PAY FOR GOOD ROADS?
Study Relationship of Transportation
and Taxes Interesting.

and Taxes Interesting.
A study of taxes as they pay for, or
are paid by transportation, and the
INTERPOLATION OF roads, tax, transport,
and expenditure, has been made by
Mr.. John E. Walker, former tax ad-
wiser, U. S. Treasury.
According to this report, the coun-
ties of the United States administer
90 per cent and the States 40 per cent
of all the highway funds spent OF
all highway expenditures, CO.'S per
cent is spent for new or reconstruc-
ton and the balance of 1915 per cent
tor maintenance, amortization, and in
terest. OF the general tax dollar, SO
per cent - slightly more than one
twentieth-is expended for highways.
A very interesting angle is brought
out in the statistics which show that
the total taxes levied on motor We
hlcles are now more than equivalent
to the cost of highway maintenance
In other words, after the road is built
the users pay for its upkeep without
cost to the State or county doing the
building.
All transportation together, which
includes all motor vehicles, both pas
senger and freight, all electric rail-
ways, all steam railways and all boats
of all kinds, pay 81 per cent of the
Nations total tax bill, which would
indicate that fair proportion of what
is being spent on highways comes
from highway users direct instead of
from the general tax dollar contrib
uted by everyone, yet everyone bene-
fits from highways.
1t is also interesting to note that of
the -l,15O,O00,0O0 of highway in
come" represented in the chart, 1871
is derived from bonds, Az from tax
alton, 1916 from motor fees, and IL
from Federal aid.

COUNTY WILL PAY
$1,000 AND BOARD OF TRADE
$500 FOR SALARY OF AGENT
Government to Pay $500. Committee
Appointed to Take Up Matter and
Select Good Man for Position

TIFTON,-Tifton is to have a
Marketing Agent. The Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners, in special session
Friday morning voted unanimously to
appropriate $1,000 to pay part of the
salary of competent man to act as
marketing Agent for the county.
The appropriation was made with
the understanding that the Tiff Coun-
ty Board of Trade will appropriate
5000 for the agents salary and that
this total-$1, 800-will be matched
with an equal amount by the govern
ment in paying the salary of a COM
petent man.
A committee of business men and
farmers was named to confer with
the proper authorities and select the
very best man that it is possible to
secure.
The matter of county agent for
Tiff has been under discussion for
more than a year and nothing was
ever done in the way of employing
one. Petitions for and against a
county agent were presented to the
Commissioners, who carefully and
thoroughly considered the matter
from both sides.
After due deliberation, the Com
missioners decided that while there
was objection to a county agent
there was no objection to man who
could and would assist in the market
ing of the various farm products Of
Tiff County, and the commissioner:
voted for the employment of e
Marketing Agent.
1t is realized that the marketing
question is the greatest problem fac.
ing the farmers of Tiff County today
and man who can help the farmer:
to sell what they have to sell at Z
good price will be worth many time:
more than his salary to the people o.
the county.
