WASHINGTON, Sept A. = The 1888 PWA program is rolling along at unprecedented speed. The PWA is allotting an average of about $25,- 100000 daily for enduring, worth while public improvements, which means extensive stimulation for business and industry. Thus far, we have approved something more than 5000 projects with total construc- ton value of $1 100000.
 Although the 1888 program is only two months old, we have been impressed with the widespread popularity of what PWA has to offer the country as evidenced by the concerted rush to obtain PWA projects. I authorized taking ap- plications for new projects late in May and the first were received about June 1. The 1888 Act was signed by President Roosevelt June 21 and applications then began to flow at constantly accelerated speed
 Industry in general has realized that this type of program actually does prime the pump" although that term has been subjected to a notorious amount of abuse and free interpretation. The "priming' that comes to American industry from the PWA program, however, comes in measurable amounts Of specific orders for materials and supplies-orders that careful con- pilation by a disinterested agency has shown have kept the wheels of many of our corporations moving during lean days.

BREAK OFF NEGOTIATIONS

PRAGUE, Sept. 14.-Konrad Hen- lein, leader of the Sudeten Ger mans, informed Britain's unofficial ambassador Runcim n that the Sudeten committee for negotiations with Czechoslovakia had dissolved and as a result there is a complete breakdown of efforts to solve the bitter and bloody dispute over Sude- ten demands for self rule, there being no machinery on the Sude- ten side to further the discussion.
 Meanwhile the government was ignoring the Sudeten ultimatum demanding cessation of martial law in the Sudeten regions. Command eered motor busses in Prague rush. ed fresh troops to the regions under military control.
 The ultimatrun expired early to- day without immediate results.
 Heinlein said in view of the acts of violence, the Sudeten re- zion party felt the proper atmo- sphere for negotiations no longer existed.

that become plague every summer.
The Anophles mosquito does not fly
around and become active around our
homes until after shutdown; like most
Williams they prefer working in the
dark. So our protection from this type
of mosquito, where they are prevalent,
is screens. Screen all windows and
outside doors. If we sit on the porch
after dark, which is customary in
southland, we should have it SCREEN

Poultry Meeting
In Sank Centre


Meetings on farm poultry work

Cooke, extension specialist in poul-
try, in charge Of the meetings. The
topic Miss Cooke will discuss at the
meetings Is Making the Most Of
the 1888 Chicks" The schedule of
these meetings is as follows;
Wednesday. February %, 200 p.
NJ, Community room, court house,

With an ample feed supply on
most farms and the prospect for
poultry and egg prices none too Sc
cure for the balance of 1888, poul-
try producers would do well to at
tend these meetings and study the
details in connection with economic
poultry production. Poultry, of
course, occupies an important part
in the farm program Of this county
and will probably continue to do so.
Both men and women are encourag-
ed to attend one or more of this SER
les Of meetings in order that the
poultry plans for the year can be
worked out to good advantage ON
each farm. The meetings are part
Of the agricultural extension pro-
gram carried out through the coun-
