 Gus Van. another famous enter tainer to join the NEG ranks, is al most as funny accidentally as he is on purpose.

'Won't your wife bawl you out for coming home so late?" Van asked. "No, I'm not married" the other replied. Then why do you stay out so late?' queried the comedian.

Americans are free people.
Free that is, if they carefully obey
some twenty or twenty-five thousand
laws and regulations, and are prompt
to heed the orders of the various
bureaus, commissions and boards
that preside over their destinies.
Probably no other nation has come
in for so much legislation as the
United States. Quantity, rather than
quality, seems to be the ideal of our
lawmakers. Whether it is matter Of
owning a revolver for sport or pro-
lection, or attending a Sunday picnic,
we are liable to come in conflict with
the forces of law and order.
Apparently we have been working
on the theory that human nature can
be changed by legislation. At pres
ent more than 100000 persons are
affiliated with movements having to
do with minding other peoples bust
ness. The self-styled reformer and
moralist have been supreme. And
the result has not been a more stable
and peaceful society, but an amazing
orgy of law breaking and criminality.
More laws make more crime, seems
to be new American axiom.

UNLAWFUL TO ANNOUNCE
LOTTERY WINNERS

The Post Office Department has
served notice on the newspapers of
the country that they are violating
the law, and are subject to criminal
prosecution, for using the mails in
circulating information in regard to
foreign "sweepstake" lotteries. The
old Louisiana and other world-famous
lotteries of earlier days, which
brought about our stringent Federal
anti-lottery statutes, were mere pig
mics in comparison with the colossal
games of chance now being conduct
ed by foreigners using the mails of
this country, according to Horace j.
Donnelly, solicitor of the Post Office
Department.
Gross subscriptions in some of
these games of chance have run as
high as $15, 600, 900 in single sweep,
with about $4,000, 600 being distrib-
uted in prizes. Newspapers which
seem to have forgotten the law in this
connection have been printing stories
of some barber who has been out Of
work for six months, and who has
suddenly had his financial problems
solved by receiving a 5000 lottery
prize; or the newspapers print the
picture of humble iceman, standing
beside his wagon as he makes his
rounds, and this fortunate individual
has received a prize of perhaps
$4,000.
All this is very alluring to the
credulous and makes good advertis-
ing for the rogues who run the lot
terry, but it is contrary to law and
every effort is being made by the
government to stamp out these swim
dies. The Louisiana State Lottery
was abolished during the time John
Wanamaker was postmaster general.

EXTENSION SERVICE RAJ
do PROGRAM

Attention has been called by C. w.
Warburton, Director of Extension
Work, U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, to a new monthly radio extern
sion feature, which will go on the
air beginning July Is. One of the
speakers scheduled for the first pro-
gram of the new broadcast is DR.. T.
B. Symons, Director of the University
of Maryland Extension Service. In
addition to the three or four speakers
there will be music by the United
States Army Band.
The new radio feature, which is a
part of the Land-G Grant Hour Broad
cast, will be on the air from 1890 to
loo p. M, and will be heard the
fourth Saturday of each month.
The idea back of the new broad
cast, accoding to Mr.. Warburton, is
to acquaint the people of this country
with the work of the Extension
Service. 1t is planned to have as
speakers members of the various
State Extension Service staffs as well
as the Department of Agriculture,
county agents and home demonstra-
tons agents, and farm men and
women who have made distinct
success of some phase of farm and
home work.
1t is believed that in bringing before
the microphone speakers who rep
resent both extension workers and
those who benefit from their activ-
tiles, more people will become famil-
lar with the opportunities extension
work offers them and be influenced
to make greater use of such oppor-
tunities. II is also believed that the
feature will provide a medium for
acquainting the State and county
extension stats with the problems
facing agents in other regions and
how these problems are being met.

WORLD WORKING TO AT
TAIN NEW ROAD
RECORDS

Throughout the world, in every
section where the hood of an auto
mobile may be seen cleaning in sun
shine, or glistening with rain, there
are extraordinary efforts under way
to attain new records in highway
construction.
That the sun never sets for the
road builders is proved by reports
from Australia, South Africa, Canada
and United States stressing the num-
Der of new trails that will be opened
to motorists before the close of 1881.
So declared Bert Pierce, automobile
editor of the New York Tribune.
There are 1884, 900 miles of high
way in existence at the present time,
according to compilation made by the
National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce. Of this total North and
South America have 1885, 1853,
Europe, 2,453, OO4; Africa, 258,287;
Asia, 1,059, 1893; Australia, New Zea-
land and Islands of the Pacific, $780,
$50 miles.
This country leads with 1924
233 mile tabulation, while Spanish
Guinea is last on the list. After a
ten-mile run in the latter province
the motorist has completed the cir
cult of the good roads movement.
The lead in ratio of automobile to
highways is taken by Gibraltar. Al
though this towering ledge is credit
ed with only fifteen miles of trails,
there are 613 cars in the two square
miles of national territory, which
figures approximately forty vehicles
to every mile of highway.
Benefiting by the experience gain
ed from traffic increases in the last
decade, the roads of today are being
constructed wide and straight with
deep, solid foundations to Withstand
the strain of travel and stress of
weather for years to come. Where
the contour of thoroughfare neces-
states curves, shoulders are being
provided to insure safety in driving
both day and night.

With 40 cent wheat, 10 cent pota-
toes, with no market worth mention
ing for apples and with other farm
products so low in price that it does
not pay to harvest them, the outlook
is the gloomiest that this country has
faced in the memory of our oldest
citizens, is the dismal plant of one
of our contemporaries.
Yet but few things that farmers
have to buy have been materially re-
duced in price. Fertilizers are still
high, most farm machinery is selling
for two or three times pre-war prices.
We are told that the reason is that
labor is still high or that the labor
that produced these things now being
marketed was as high as ever and a
reduction would mean loss. We
hear less of the silly twaddle of poll
ticians and labor organization leaders
that there must be no cut in wages
and that there must be no reduction
of tariff duties. Wages and salaries
must be cut and are being cut.
Tariff duties must be reduced.
The consumers, especially the farm
ers, can no longer continue to buy at
even present prices. Exports are
constantly decreasing and unless
there is readjustment all around we
shall soon come to the condition in
the home market where the produc-
ers of food products have no money
with which to buy and labor has
nothing to do. Then our tariff wall
will have to come down and new
start made to secure return to barter
and trade with other people. An
instance of the retaliation that has
been forced on our foreign trade
customers is the Canadian tariff
duty on apples put into effect last
week. In the face of this duty our
apple producers are completely shut
out of that profitable market. 1t is
perhaps necessary that we help other
distressed countries but we really
have quite as serious problems at
home.

The unit maps used covered forty

made at mathematical points. At five
other points three tests were made

NEW GEORGE WASHINGTON
QUARTER DOLLAR

Leading sculptors of the
United States will have three
monthsl to submit designs for
the new quarter dollar to be is
sued next year by the Treasury
Department in commemoration
of the Two Hundredth Ami
versary of the Birth, of George
Washington.
Robert ]. Grant, Director of
the Mint, acting under the di-
rection of Secretary of the
Treasury Andrew w. Mellon,
has sent a letter to prominent
sculptors inviting submission
of models for the diverse side
and reverse side of the new
coin. These models will be re-
ceived at the office of the Direc-
tor of the Mint, in the Treasury
Department, up to and includ-
ing October Is. 1t is felt that
this will allow ample time for
the artists to perfect their de-
signs and afford the Treasury
time to prepare dies for the
production of the coin for dis
tribution beginning February
%, 1882.
1t is expected that the selec-
ton of the design for the new
quarter will be made from the
models submitted, but the
Treasury reserves the right to
reject all models offered.
The Secretary of the Treas
ury will select the design. Be
fore the final decision is reach
ed he will invite the Commits
sion of Fine Arts and the
United States George Washing
ton Bicentennial Commission
to pass on the merits of the
designs. Fifteen hundred dol
lars will be paid to the artist
whose design is chosen by
Secretary Mellon. Nothing will
be paid for rejected models.
The George Washington quar-
ter will be a coin of regular
issue, and must comply with
the law of March 4, 1881, which
stipulates that it shall bear the
image of George Washington.
The general coinage laws re-
quire that on one side of all
coins shall appear an impress
sion emblematic of liberty with
the word Liberty, and the
year of coinage. On the re-
verse side the the law specifies
eagle with the inscriptions
UNITED States of America" and
"E Pluribus Unium," and the
designation of the value of the
coin. The motto "In God We
Trust" must also appear on the
coin, but may be on either side.
The only restrictions under
which the artists will be re-
quired to work are those made
by law. The portrait of George
Washington, which must ap-
pear on the coin, will be re-
garded as the required emblem
of liberty.
The models must be submit
ted in the form of placter casts
about eight inches in diameter.
Designs submitted in. the form
of sketches or drawing will
not be considered.

modern cruisers instead Of the six
formally allotted her.
This miracle Ct the shipwright's
craft has been accomplished by unique
exploitation of welding and riveting
processes. Absence of rivets in the body
Of the vessel saves the dead weight for
the benefit Of heavier armament. Ersatz
Preussen is able, within her ten thou
sand tons, to mount guns hitherto re-
served for warships CT twice her dis
placement. She will carry the biggest
Diesel engine plant ever built into a
ship. 1t WIN develop fifty thousand
horsepower, generate a speed Of twenty
six knots and permit cruising radius
of ten thousand miles.
The Reichstag recently voted funds
for the construction Of a second Ersatz
Preussen, though not without consider
able opposition.
Today's spectacular launching cere-
mony at Kiel is no doubt designed by
the Berlin government to persuade the
German people that Europe's present
troubled hour is not the time for the
Reich to abdicate her naval rights. 1t
will be half dozen years before its
fleet of six Ersatz Preussens can be
commissioned. With the At,antics
laurels held by Bremen and Europa
and Germany's mercantile interests
spreading over the seven seas again,
her need for a navy will become in
creasingly apparent.
