Started in 1919

The gasoline tax was created as a
road toll" when it was adopted first
by Oregon in 1919. The tax spread
rapidly and within a few years all
states used such income for building
sorely needed traffic facilities.
But with the coming of the de-
preston. when incomes from gem
eral tax sources fell. state legisla-
lures, without consulting the public,
dipped into road funds and used
them for all government purposes.
including schools. hospitals, pen
sions. and election funds.
One of the greatest complaints
against diversion of road funds has
been the creation Of additional I'M
employment. Illinois road builders
point out that the $4,000. 900 alone
saved for roads will provide jobs for
some $4,000 men.

Contractors Are Amazed by

CHICAGO, July 24-''This build
ing must be ready for installation
of exhibits on May 81"
That was the stipulation laid down
by A Century of Progress officials,
and consequently by the Owens-Illi-
noiS Glass Company officials when
they let the contract for the colorful
glass block structure that since has
been viewed by millions at the
worlds fair.
1t was a neew material and this
was the first full-sized structure in
which it ever had figured. There
were no presidents. The engineer
ing company that took tn contract
cast a doubtful eye upon the time
limit clause. and, anticipating delays
and difficulties. in spite of Owens
Illinois assurances. sublet the con-
tract TO another firm.
There was sadness in the con-
tractors camp when they saw the
walls of the handsome structure rise
with amazing speed in the SUBJ
contractors hands.
Material Easily Handled
Masons handled the new material

The corrugated and cement covered

Seven to ten tiers could be laid

just twice the ordinary speed.

The contractor who figured that

the masons laying 400 blocks a day
with ease.

THE cH1LDRENs HOUR.

There was most enthusiastic meet
OF the Children's Hour Friday night, in
spite Of the cold, with Al children and
10 mothers attending. Each child
briught the small fee charged, and
there was enough to pay the expenses
of the parsonage, to date.
at the next meeting this Friday, the
older boys are to bring a socket for
their lamps, the intermediate boys
jackknives and hammers, the girls to
bring scissors. The primary group will
continue the circus.
At seven o'clock when the meeting
opens, the parsonage becomes busy,
happy place for youngsters, and an in
teresting one for the mothers. Each
child has something to make, and as
one mother remarked, 1t will at least
give them some ideas to pass on to
their own youngsters some day when
they want to provide entertainment
and instruction for them.
The sponsors of the Childrcns Hour
thank those who help to make this

NEW TIGHT CUFFS
ADD SMART TOUCH

Many women making their own
dresses may be somewhat puzzled by
the construction of the long tight
fitting cuffs fastened with loops and
covered buttons to many variations of
the new pulled sleeves. These loops
add considerably to the chic OF the
new sleeves and are easily made,
points out Lois Holderbaum, extension
clothing specialist at the state college.
The first step in making this type
of cuff is to cut bias strip of the
same material five-eights inch In
width. The strip is then folded and
stitched lengthwise through the CEN
ter. The length Of the material is
determined by the size Of the buttons
and the number to be used.
Six inches Of the sewing threads
should be left attached to the material
before clipping from the machine. A
needle bodkin is then tied to the
threads and run back through the
tube which was made in the first
operation, Care should be taken not
to twist the seam.
The loops are spaced along the raw
edge of the cuff according to the
number Of buttons. The raw edge is
turned to the inside and finished with
silk bias tape or binding ribbon,
The most popular buttons for the
ensemble are usually round in shape
and covered with the same material
as the sleeve.
Details or problems calling for at
tention in the construction the new
type Of sleeves and cuffs, can be taker
up with the local home demonstration
agent or by writing the clothing
specialist, Extension Service, Pullman
Washington.

NEW DIESEL
TRACTOR is
GIVEN PRAISE

Caterpillar Tractor Co. has re-
Gently announced a second diesel
tractor, according to Hulse Ander-
son company, local dealers for this
world-famous line of tractors, road
machinery and combines. The new
model is called the diesel fifty. 1t
has the same chassis as the "Cat-
erpillar'' fifty tractor, previously
announced, but is powered by
diesel instead of gasoline engine.
With this announcement, the two
largest sizes of Caterpillar tract
ors are now available with either
gas or diesel power, and Charles E.
Anderson, of the local leadership,
is enthusiastic over the operating
economies and performances that
these two models offer the large
power users of his territory.
1t is amazing what 'Caterpil-
lar dieSels have done since they
were first announced in 1897, said
Anderson. "Scores of them are
now working on every kind of road
building, construction and farming
job all over the world, and they
have cut operating costs to a point
that is almost unbelievable. In
the spring of 1882. one of these
tractors plowed 1000 acres at
fuel cost of sig cents an acre. Dur
ing the past year, several fleets of
them have been working for con-
tractors on the Mississippi levees,
admittedly the worlds toughest
proving ground. One levee con-
tractor reports a saving of four
fifths of his fuel bill, another says
he had no repairs or delays in a
whole seasons day-and-night op-
Grafton of his three diesels; third
writes that he purchased his first
Caterpillar diesel sight unseen,
and as soon as he found out what
il would do he ordered two more;
other levee contractors report Is
to 25 per cent more yardage; and
all testify to a tremendous saving
in fuel. The first Caterpillar die
sci used on the King Albert canal
in Belgium sold II more for the
same job, and SO it goes through
out the world''
Anderson stresses the simplicity
of these tractors as we'll as their
power and operating economy.
"Many people have the mistaken
idea that a diesel engine is COM
plicated he says, "but the 'Cat-
erpillar' diesel is the simplest en-
gine you can imagine. Fuel is in
jected into the cylinder by auto
matte pumps and fired by the heat
of compression, SO the carburetor
and ignition system of the gasoline
engine are completely eliminated.
The engines are easy to start and
operate, and they accelerate and
carry overloads even better than
gasoline engines of the same rat
ing. In addition to this, they burn
fuel oil which sells for Az cents
a gallon in this vicinity, and they
burn 40 to so per cent less fuel
than similar gas engine.'
"No wonder I am enthusiastic
about these diesel tractors" con-
cludes Anderson. "There never
was a time when economy and low
production costs were more import

ALFALFA CROP

Describing alfalfa as California s
most important and most valuable
field crop, B. A. Madison, assistant
professor of agronomy in the branch
of the college of agriculture, Uni
versity of California, has just pre-
pared an agricultural extension
service circular on alfalfa produc-
ton. designed especially for Cali
fornia farmers.
The last available census figures,
according to Professor Madison,
show there are 794,946 acres of al
falfa in California, producing more
than 2,750,000 tons of hay, the farm
value of which is approximately
27,500,000. Alfalfa, he says, occu-
pies 43 per cent of the acreage de-
voted to harvested forage crops,
and produces more than 68 per cent
of the totals harvested tonnage.
This publication is of especial
interest to Imperial county accord
ing to Frank Beyschlag, farm ad-
visor He states that this county
grows more alfalfa than any other
county in the United States In
1881 $4,000 acres we're devoted to
alfalfa in Imperial county. In 1882
the county shipped 152,360 tons of
alfalfa hay having total value of
81 ,828,520.
To secure copies of the circular,

Puts And End To
BuniOn Pains
No Need To Suffer Another Day

There is one simple yet mex
pensive way to reduce inflammation
of swollen toe joints and help get
them down to normal and that is
to apply Noone's Emerald Oil night
and morning.
Ask Clements Drug Store or any
first class druggist for an original
two-ounce bottle of Moone's En-
erald Oil (full strength and re-
fuse to accept anything in its place.
It is such a highly concentrated
preparation that two ounces lasts
a long time and furthermore if
one bottle of Emerald Oil does not
give you complete satisfaction you
can have your money refunded.
Special note: People who want
TO reduce swollen or varicose veins
should get bottle of Moone's EN-
erald Oil at once. Applied night and
morning as directed they will
quickly notice an improvement
which will continue until the veins
and punches are reduced to normal.
