TWO STATES RAISE
GASOLINE TAX FEE
Louisiana and New Hamp-
shire Increase Levy to a
Cents a Gallon.

With two upward revisions of the
automobile gas tax during 1928, as COM
pared with % changes made during
1927, State practice regarding this
means of building better highways has
been quite definitely established. Louis
lana raised the gas tax during 1928
from 2 to 4 cents a gallon, while New
Hampshire increased the rate from 3
to cents.
All but three States, Illinois, Massa-
chusettS and New York, have a gas tax
varying with each individual State from
2 to cents gallon. Ten states, Con-
necticut, Kansas. Minnesota, Missouri,
Nebraska, New Jersey, North Dakota
Rhode Island. Washington, Wisconsin
and District of Columbia collect cents

Following general eastern direction
from Bagaces, the line mounts the
Guanacaste range at a point just above
the western end of Lake Arenal. the
famous Burning Lake, and continues
along the top of the ridge into the city
of San Ramon.
From San Ramon a dry-weather dirt
road now runs through the cities of
Palmares and Grecia to Alaiuela. From
Alajuela to San Jose an inferior quail
ity macadam road exists.
A wide dirt road, passable only in
dry season, extends between San Jose
and Carriage. From Carriage the road
bends southwesterly to Ell Pito, thence
south to the Panamanian border.
From the Costa Rican border into
Panama, there is an open gap to the
city of David. The country is level,
however and nothing appears in the
way of obstacles to building a road over
this territory. From David to Santiago
95 miles of paved highway is now under
construction. From Santiago to Panama
City, distance of 100 miles, an i'm
proved highway was recently COM
pleted. On the other side of the canal
a road is now under construction to
Pacora, which Is gradually planned to
extend as far as Chepo.
From here the highway would cut to
the Caribbean coast of Colombia.

JUNIOR COLLEGE
GAINS SUPPORT
BaIIou and Other School Off,
Gals Are Behind Plan for
Its Establishment.

DR.. Frank w Ballou, superintendent
of schools members of the Board OF
Education and other school off1cials are
pledged to ioin in efforts that may be
MADE to obtain legislation for estab-
lishment of junior college In the DIS
trict. Representative Arentz OF Ne
vada, who, with Senator Oddle OF the
same State, has introduced a Dill 1or
establishment of a junior college mere
has neen SO advised by DR. Ballou.
In response to Representative Arentz S
recent inquiry as to the status OF the
Junior college proposal before the scEool
authorities, DR.. Ballou has replied:
"Tn nv annual report for 1928 sug-
rested to the Board of Education the
desirability of considering the estapIsh-
rnent in the District OF Columola OF
four-year teachers college, giving a oe-
gree. and a Junior college. The matter
IF the teachers college was taken up by
the appropriations committee OF the
House and provision made In the APP
prouriations bill for the establishment
of such an institution. The Board OF
Education and the school officials nave
been devoting a large amount OF time
to the establishment and development
of the teachers college. These instltu-
lions we're inaugurated in september OF
this wear. Naturally much further at-
tention must be devoted to the organlza-
ton of course of study and the securing
of an adequate faculty. -.
'No special attention has been given
within the last year to the matter OF
the establishment of Junior college. d!
am sure. however. that the board OF
education and the school ofhcials are
interested in the establishment OF SUCH
an institution, and will join in any
effort that may be made to secure lesls-
lation for that purpose

AN OLD FARM

When I was young my strong right
arm pulled weeds upon a stony farm,
for wages much too small: 1t was
dreary. lonesome place, that farm on
which I used to chase, and gloom per-
vaded all. There were no books that
one might read, except some catalogues
Of seed, and last years almanacs; there
was no modern sort of light, but smok-
ing lamps disturbed the night, their
chimneys full of cracks. There was an
organ, old and frayed, but that old
thing could not be played, its works
were on the bum; there was no chance
to talk of things, of cabbages or cats
or kings, for neighbors did not come.
We sat around and yawned a while,
and then went out in single file, to
sink our woes in sleep: and life was so
depressed and stale, the farm was so
much like jail, often used to weep.
If some one chose to go to town, ne
took the team, a gray and brown, and
slowly creaked away; the horses must
be used with care, the gelding and the
old gray mare-the journey took a day
I visited that farm again, eight weeks
ago, or maybe ten, and what change
was there! The radio was at its best,
producing strains from East and West,
and music filled the air. And there
were magazines and books In all the
divers coy hooks; there was a tele-
phone, so one might call the neighbors
up and talk about the COW or pup, and
not feel all alone. A handsome car was
at the gate. and Dad and Ma and Jim
and Kate could scoot away to town, and
mingle in the urban games, and be
back home again, by James, before the
sun went down. I hear the stricken
farmers yell, they say they are not
treated well, and they propose a scrap;
but when I think of olden days when
I was hoeing beans and maize, think
they have snap.

WIEN WINTER COMES
 TAKE SHORT COURSE

A mighty pleasant and profitable way to meet the approach of winter days is to take the Mining Short course opened October 28, and will Icourst opened October 28, and will continue for 10 weeks. You will find that it beats loafing "all hollow"
 In addition to the regular work in mining, geology, mineralogy, etc., you can take the shop work in the repair and maintainence of gaS0- line engines. There will be tractor engines, automobile engines and ioutboard motors there to work on.
 If you are tired of eating your own cooking, stop at the college dormi
 tory where board and room can be secured for $55 per month.
 This also reminds one that the home economics department are offering a special course in camp cookery for the men who take the
 Mining Short Course When this
 camp cookery course is finished you will be able to make biscuits
 and turn out camp grub in a manner that will make your part Iner a friend for life.
 Men from outlying districts such as the Forty-Mile and Iditarod have already made dormitory res ervations for the course If you plan to stop at the dornitory, bring your own bedding.

ETHYLENE GAS SPEEDS
RIPENING OF TOMATOES

Tomato growers who wish to hast
en- the ripening of their crop to take
advantage of early markets will find
treatment with ethylene gas an effec-
tive accelerator, according to DIR. R.
H. Harvey, agricultural botanist,
University Farm, St. Paul, inventor
of this process which has recently
been granted a patent. Many whole
salers and commercial growers now
are using the ethylene method of rip
ening with notable success
All that is necessary in the way
of special equipment is suitable
room or chamber and tank of ethy-
lene gas equipped with a simple flow
meter. The meter, plus enough gas
to treat several carloads of tomatoes
will cost only about $50. The gas
cost is negligible, ranging from about
40 cents to one dollar carload. The
room or chamber should be closed off
SO as to make it practically gas tight.
An ordinary plastered room or cellar
room, will work satisfactorily, pro-
viding cracks around windows are
closed with adhesive tape and if it
has fairly tight fitting door. Some
means should also be available for
maintaining a temperature of from
60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Tomatoes should be picked when
they are beginning to turn or when
they are fairly we'll along toward ma
turity. In no case should they be
picked so green that more than four
days is required to ripen them by the
gas process, DR. Harvey says. They
may be placed in the ripening cham
Der in baskets, crates, or other con-
tainers.
Treatment consist of liberating
enough gas to make a mixture of
one-tenth of one per cent and closing
up the chamber for. "a hours, after
which the treatment may be repeated
at 24-hour intervals until ripening
is completed. Knowing the cubic
capacity of any room, measuring the
required amount of gas is simple
process by the use of the flow meter
and a watch.
Although ethylene gas is infam-
mable in high concentrations, there
is no danger from fire or explosion,
providing fire is kept away from the
tank during the time the gas is being
liberated. The minimum concentra-
ton required for combustion of the
gas is 80 times higher than the most
concentrated MIXTURE used in the To-
mato ripening process.

Gilbert Moran, a globe trotter of
some fame, was a visitor in Olivia
Thursday and related to several local
people some of his experiences in
travelling over the country in a dog
cart. Mr.. Moran who was a victim
of tuberculosis in its advance stages,
started out from Nome, Alaska, in
1923 to tour the country in fight
against the disease, travelling behind
trained dogs. Five other young men
started out in like manner at the
same time, the governments of Can
ada and the United States offering a
purse of $4,000 to those who might
win in the fight. Moran was in
Olivia few years ago with his dogs,
looking sickly and poor, but last week
he showed up a cured man and look
ing fine. He has two or three states
left to visit and then he will claim
his reward. He carrier with him let
tiers from the governors and mayors
of the states and cities visited, cert
flying to his visit in those places.
He tells an interesting story of trav-
els and has made a rich contribution
to medical science in affecting a cure
for the disease.-Olivia Times.

MANY IOWA COUNTIES
PAVE THEIR ROADS

Iowa is determined to get paving
in spite of the Supreme court. When
the high court of that state found
technical flaws in the $100,000,0O0
state highway bond issue plan adopt
ed by the voters last fall, some peo-
pie thought~<his would delay the Iowa
road program. Instead of that it has
speeded up things.
The state bond issue plan called for
3,424 miles of paving to be built in
six years, less than 600 miles year.
ty-three counties have voted on coun-
Since the plan was held invalid, thir-
ty primary road bond issues. Thirty
one voted favorably and authorized
s29, 680,000. Five more have set
dates for elections and if these carry,
$3,673, 900 more will lbe authorized.
With county bond issues authorized
from 1920 to 1928, there will be to-
tai of $99, S88,657 provided for pri-
mary road construction.
Every county which has voted
bonds wants the work started at once
The state highway commission is ac-
and completed as quickly as possible.
ceding to these requests wherever
possible. Up to July 9, 760 miles of
paving had been contracted or adver-
tised. Before the summer is over the
total may bet close to 900 miles,
which is so per cent more than was
slated for letting under the state pro-
gram this year.
With pavement built in previous
years, Iowa this fall will have more
than $500 miles of hard surfaced
roads, more than twice as much as
Minnesota's paved mileage.
The county elections are being held
under the 1919 primary road bond
law. County primary road bonds are
financed from state primary road
funds which are definitely proportion
ed to the counties. The highway
commission must see that no county
issues more bonds than can safely be
financed from the county's allotment
of funds. This necessarily limits
both the annual and the total con-
struction program.
After the supreme courts decision
last winter, the Legislature voted to
resubmit the $100,OO0,000 state bond
plan in the form of a constitutional
amendment. Under the Iowa plan, a
constitutional amendment must be ap-
proved by two successive legislatures.
If the plan is approved by the 1881
legislature, it will then be voted on
at special election and if it carried,
the work will proceed under the state
instead of the county plan. But with
the amount of bonds already author
lied by the counties, the principal eff
feet of the state bond will be slightly
different distribution of the cost, and
the building of connecting links
through counties which have not vot-
ed bonds. There are nineteen coun-
ties which either have not voted on
bonds or have turned down bond
