Good Roads a Modern Necessity.
A Texas newspa-
per of retcent date
contained a long ed-
itorial on “Why You
Should Vote for
Good Roads.” It
seems strange that
with an understand-
ing of present day
affairs any argu-
ment should be needed for good roads.
With the automobile in almost uni-
versal use, good roads are as essen-
tial as railroads. They are, in fact,
a necessity if people would live in-
comfort and in enjoyment of the ne-
cessities of life. There may he rare
cases where proposed bond issues con-
tain some objectionable features, or
where a lack of -confidence in officials
make the postponement of a bond is-
sue desirable, or where an unwise ex-
penditure is proposed, or where no
provision is made for the upkeep of
the roads, but certainly there can be no
reasonable objection to good roads if
they are in fact “good.” It is the
building of poor roads and the at-
tempt to scatter small funds over long
mileage that defeats most of the bond
issues that are voted, down.
* * *
Maintaining Roads Essential.
There are not many roads that are
kept up as welL as they should be.
The state roads are better kept since
the state is looking after their upkeep,
but most of the other roads are woe-
fully neglected and under automobile
traffic soon wear away. It is the neg-
lect of these roads that is responsible
for the failure of many bond issues.
In this country we have not yet learn-
ed to build for permanence. This ap-
plies to everything else as well as to
roads. We are too inclined to build
■for today and leave tomorrow to look
after itself. The cities are far in ad-
vance of the country in building for
permanence. Modern buildings are
being erected to last for centurie^.
Bridges are constructed, streets are
made, municipal improvements are
undertaken in a permanent way, and
every care is taken to prevent de-
terioration. It is wasteful to build
roads, and then allow them to go to
pieces.
♦ * *
Troubles Bring Out Friendships.
Often when things are running
along smoothly, one w-onders if he has
many real friends who are interested
in his welfare. Then let a little trou-
ble cloud arise, and he is surprised
that there are so many persons to ex-
press genuine regret and to show it.
The department of the University of
Texas that I have directed for the past
eleven years has recently been the
victim of executive veto, and friends
from everywhere are using all kinds
of efforts to let me know just what
they think of it and incidentally of me
and my work. Their interest is al-
most making what looks like trouble
a real pleasure. It at least shows me
that what I have been trying mighty
hard to uo is appreciated even by
many who have little idea of the real
magnitude of the effort that I have
been making. This is a good old
world after all and there are big-
hearted people everywhere, even if at
times it does take some unexpected
blow to discover them.

San Antonip’s Proposed Exposition.
San Antonio has under way a move-
ment to revive its International Expo-
sition that was allowed to die several
years ago. This time it is to be on
a much larger scale than the old ex-
position and is to- be a real interna-
tional show. San Antonio has learned
that a mistake was made when its an-
nual exposition was abandoned. There
is something about a great fair or ex-
position, by, whatever name it is call-
ed, that solidifies a people and creates
a civic pride that cannot be aroused
in any other way. Every -city or town
is prouder of itself about fair-time
than at any other time, and a “go-
ahead” spirit is formed that quickens
action along every line. Dallas, Waco,
Fort Worth, Austin, Tyler, Shreveport
and other cities throughout the coun-
try agree that their expositions are
worth much more to them than the
money they get directly out of them.
* * *
County and Community Fairs.
What has been said of the big ex-
positions in the cities is just as true
of the county and community fairs
that have fought their way through
the many difficulties that are sure to
arise in every such undertaking. The
“get-together” spirit of the county and
community fair is something that can
hardly be created in any other way.
The fact that a fair cannot be -held
on a magnificent scale should not
keep any -community from having one.
If it is the best that the community
can do the same sort of pride is
created, the same fellowships created,
as in the big fairs. The main thing
to keep In mind is that each one
should be an improvement on the one
last held.

Texas Centennial Will Unite Texas.
If the plans being outlined by the
Texas Centennial Board for a great
Texas Centennial and World Exposi-
tion are successfully carried out, the
result will be such a statewide pride
and unification that Texas will begin
a development so marvelous that the
world will look with astonishment on
its achievements. The effort will be
worth to the State of Texas many
times Its cost and every Texan will
profit by It In more ways than one.
LATE FARM NEWS
(By S. C. Hoyle, Editor of Extension
Service Publications, A. and M. Col-
lege of Texas.)
Bowie and Cass Counties Conduct
- Dairy Schools.
ThB county and home demonstration
agents of Bowie and Cass Counties
have recently completed a series of
very successful ohe-da<y dairy schools.
These schools were conducted at six
places in Bowie County and at five
places in Cass County. In Bowie
County the attendance averaged about
thirty-five to the school while in Cass
County the interest seemed to be much
better and the average attendance was
about sixty. Those who attended
these schools were not in any sense
there because something was going on
in town for they were not held in town
but were right out in the country in
farmers’ dooryards and cow-lots.
Just four main lines, were kept In
mind all the time at every meeting;
viz, first, the relation of tho dairy cow
to maintaining and building up the
fertility of the soils. Second, the
value of legumes in a dairy cow’s
ration and that a farmer should have
at /east one and a half tons of legume
hay for winter use for every mature
dairy animal and he has on hand
plenty extra to feed all the young
stuff well too. Third, that no man
can afford to spend his time on in-
ferior cows poorly fed and that such
cows will not make much profit if
well fed, but that cows that are bred
and selected for their ability to handle
large amounts of feed and convert it
into milk, are always a source of prof-
it, if they are supplied with the feed.
To best bring out these points, ani-
mals were used and demonstrations
were given in the selection of dairy
animals.1 Fourth, the fourth point
stressed that good herds cannot be
maintained or built up unless good
bulls be placed in service to head tlje
herds. So much interest was shown in
this part of the work, that from one
to as many as a half dozen men at each
school came to the front after the
meetings to make personal inquiries as
to where good bulls could be bought
and what they would cost. At one
point in Bowie County the farmers
got together after the meeting, organ-
ized a bull association, subscribed
$200,00 to purchase a bull and appoint-
ed a committee to buy the bull.
There will be several bull associa-
tions in Cass County before the end
of the year and it is expected that
from fifteen to twenty bulls will be
purchased this summer and fall.
The county agents were assisted in
these schools by Mr. G. W. Orms,
College Station, Mr. J. H. McClain,
Bureau of Dairying, Washington, D.
C., and D. T. Simonds, secretary Tex-
as Jersey Cattle Club, Ft. Worth Tex-
as; Mr. P. T -Cole, agriculture agent of
the Cotton Kelt Railway at Tyler, Tex-
as, and J. Lynn Thomas, dairy special-
ist, A. and M. College.
Preserving Eggs.
It's time now to get out the big
stone jars and- clean them ready for
egg preserving time. Eggs are sure
to be plentiful and c%3ap in the spring.
Thrifty housekeepers everywhere
“put down” a large supply of eggs
now, while they are low, for cooking
purposes during the winter months,
when the price is much higher. Water
glass is the common preservative.
Drug stores sell it. Mix thoroughly
1 y2 quarts of this solution with 18
quarts of boiled water. A stone jar
is best to preserve eggs in water
glass. Two six-gallon or three four-
gallon jars are sufficient for thirty
dozen eggs, using the amount of solu-
tion prescribed. After thoroughly
cleaning the jars, place the eggs in
them and pour in the water glass
solution. The eggs at the top should
be covered by at least two inches of
the liquid. Cover the jars to prevent
evaporation, and put them in a cool
place were they will be undisturbed
during the year. If the solution
evaporates, or becomes thick and
jelly-like, add water.
If you have not tried this before, and
want more information, talk to your
county agent.
Paint the Homemaker’s Friend.
Spring time is dress-up time for all
Nature’s plant life. The unfolding
leaves of green and the bursting
blossoms of many colors manifest Na-
ture’s desire to start the season with
freshness. Man follows Nature’s
lead in the matter by applying paint
to the weathered buildings emerging
from their winter’s toil and gives
them, not only new beauty but new
life for another season by adding a
coat of paint. The chief purpose of
paint on the farm, although it adds
greatly to the appearance of a build-
ing, is to preserve houses, barns, and
implements. Interior painting is us-
ually done to improve the looks of the
home and make it more attractive,
but it also serves a useful purpose in
making walls and ceilings more sani-
tary and dark rooms lighter.
Farm and Home Suggestions.
It’s getting close to the season, when
a hoe in the hand is worth twor in
the store.
Weeds are killed easiest before they
are sown.
Why have a dark kitchen when sun-
shine is so easy to get?
Place hard and lumpy brown sugar
In the oven a few moments and It will
soften easily.
A legume not only increases the pro-
duction of crops which follow It In
rotation, but furnishes a valuable
feed In Itself.

HOW TO KEEP
WELL

DON’T FORGET YOUR
VITAMINES
\X7E HAVE heard so much about
vitamines that everybody knows,
in a general way, that they are sub-
stances In food which are necessary
for growth - and health and that our
fobd should be so varied and regu-
lated that we will each of us get a
I sufficient amount of each one to keep
us strong and well.
When McCollum began his feed-
ing experiments on-animals only three
vitamines were known. It is now gen-
erally agreed among food authorities
that there are at least five. They are
called vitamines A, B, C, D, and X.
Vitamine A is found in milk—and
eggs, in fresh meat, especially in gland
tissues, in animal fats and oils and
in leafy vegetables. It is generally
found dissolved in either anir^al or
vegetable fat. It plays an Important
part in the growth of the young. Com-
plete .absence of it in food causes a
peculiar disease of the eye called
xerophthalmia, in which the conjunc-
tiva or covering of the eyeball be-
comes hard and dry and white like
the skin.
Vitamine B is found In the coat
or bran of grains and seeds, in vege-
tables, fruits and animal foods. Its
absence causes beri-beri in human be-
ings, as among Chinese and Japanese
fed entirely on polished rice. With-
out it, young animals cease to growv
and finally die. In fowls, it causes a
peculiar disease called polyneuritis.
Vitamine C is found in fruits, fresh
vegetables especially raw potatoes and
in fresh milk. Absence of this sub-
stance causes scurvy, formerly so
common on sailing vessels on long voy-
ages when the sailors were fed for
months on salt meat and dry biscuits.
Over a hundred years ago, it was
found that lime juice, if taken regu-
larly, would prevent or cure it, so
the British shipping laws compelled
all sailing vessels to carry lime juice
and serve it to the sailors. As a re-
sult, these ships, in sailor slang, were
called “lime juicers.” Orange juice,
tomatoes, raw cabbages or potatoes,
or fresh fruit of any kind are equally
effective.
Vitamine D is very much like vita-
mine A, being found In cod liver oil,
yolk of eggs, alfalfa and spinach.
Little is known about vitamine X;
It is the “dark horse” as yet in this
field. »
While definite knowledge of these
literally life giving substances in
food is a matter of the last ten years,
the diseases caused by the absence
or insufficient amount of them have
been known for centuries. The old
Greeks had scurvy, although they
didn’t know what caused it.
The human body is a living ma-
chine. It needs living food to keep
it healthy. See that you get every
day something fresh, green and raw.
The old proverb about an apple keep-
irg the doctor away was the result
of centuries of human experience.
Accepts “Oft Days” as
Part of Life’s Game
Writing on happiness, in Hearst’s
International-Cosmopolitan, Bruce Bar-
ton makes three suggestions to insure
happiness. He also tells what he does
when he is physically and mentally
below par.
“There are a certain number of days
in every month when I am not .worth
a hoorah,” he says. “Once I fretted
through these days and tried to drive
myself to work, but no more. When
such a day dawns now, when I wake
up utterly lacking in pep, I accept the
verdict blithely.
“Sometimes I take books and cigars
and go back to bed. Some days I walk
around in unfamiliar parts- of town;
some days I play golf or ride. And at
evening I am refreshed and I say, ‘One
more day to charge up to the reserve
for wasted days.’ And invariably the
next day I feel fine.”
Japan May Tax Radios
The Japanese department of finance,
going over the list of imports to come
under the heavy “luxury tariff,” has
decided that radio receivers and ac-
cessories shall be included in the list.
This means that these articles will be
charged 100 per cent duty, instead of
the present 20 per cent. Authorities
are- worried lest the new ruling, if
carried into practice, seriously interfere
with the popularization of broadcast-
ing and hinder progress of the radio
in Japan. ,

OVERWORKING THE OLD
HEART
Was Bobbie to Blame?
Grandma had just arrived on a visit
and to take part in celebrating young
Bobbie’s birthday on the morrow.
After supper, Bobbie started to fidget
around grandma’s chair. To the sur-
prise of everyone present, he said:
“Grandma, which is the right side of
you? Mother said if I’m a good boy
and keep on the right side of you, you
might buy me a bicycle.”

TF YOU had a pump that had been
working steadily and faithfully for
fifty years, without ever missing a
stroke or failing to do its work, you'd
be pretty well satisfied to let it alone,
wouldn’t you?
You wouldn’t expect it, after all
those years of service, to do the work
of a new machine and to pump four
or five times its usual amount. You’d
know if you did something would be
apt to break.
The human heart, whatever poets
may say about it, is just a pump.
Steadily, regularly, from sixty to sev-
enty times a minute, sixty minutes
every hour, twenty-four hours every
day, all the days of your life from
birth until death, It goes on pumping,
pumping.
- Dilating and contracting with every
beat, It forces the blood - all over the
body. As long as it works perfectly,
you never know it’s there.
But no machine Is as strong, after
fifty years’ work as It was at ten or
twenty., So no heart at fifty can stand
what the heart can at twenty-five.
Julius Fleischmann, millionaire yeast
king of Cincinnati, was a great
lover of sports, especially outdoor
games. He played polo and tennis
and handball. All excellent games but
strenuous. Mr. Fleischmann was fifty-
two but in perfect health.
The other day he played an espe-
cially fast game of pold. When the
game was over, he rode to the side
lines and dismounted. Then, before
any one could get to him, he dropped
dead.
Wuat happened? The doctors, said
“dilated heart.” What made the heart
dilate? Fifty-two years.
Polo and tennis and handball and
football and basket ball are all splen-
did games—for young men. But they
are too fast and call for too much
heart strain to be safe amusements
for men past their youth.
Golf and walking are safer and
wiser. If you are past forty-five, no
matter how strong and well you are,
don’t overstrain your heart. Keep it
going at its usual gait. But don’t
run for street cars, don’t lift heavy
burdens, don’t expect your faithful old
pomp to do the work of one twenty
years younger.
Well Named “White Way,f
The reason that the theatrical sec-
tion of Broadway, New York, is known
the “The Great White Way” is the
number of electric signs which line it.
Investigation shows that these signs
use 1,095,841 electric lamp bulbs and
a special crew of 50 men makes the
rounds of these signs nightly to re-
place burned out lamps.

after being missing about three months,
was returned home by freight with no
explanation as to Its whereabouts in

unsigned, containing a sum of money
to pay the freight charges. The car
was badly battered, but still capable
of service.
