Officeof Public Roadsand President of the' .American High way Association '-.'The . destructive-agencies of traffic'?, and; the elements are .unceasing-' . in y .their activities and it is idle to talk of permanent .roads any more , than to speak of a house, a fence,' or a railroad tie as permanent, says Mr. Page. "The . public roads today, by reason-of the ex ceptionally destructive traffic con ditions, are more , costly in 'con- struction arid this is , continually increasing withi the, advance " in the prices of labor and material It is criminally wasteful, there fore, to invest large sums of public money ; in . buildinc: the unless the investment is , conser-; ved by adequate maintenance. Without! such adequate mainte nance a road costing anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000 per 'mile may go to ruin, in a year - or two ; thus involving a permanent ' loss Gf considerable magnitude. 4 'When it is considered that the 1 aggregate expenditure on roads m the United States is well over i $200,000,000 annually, the seri ousness'of the question is ap- parent, i iouk uj ui cuiiiereiice ! of highway officials which will i be held during the Fourth Ame rican Road - Congress, which ! meets in Atlanta, Georgia, on November 9, to devote much at ! tention to road maintenance, arid j that the accumulative moral ef ! feet of their findings will go far 1 towards bringing legislatures and the necessity for prompt arid ef ficient action. .

Some of it was planted late, but it has made a remarkable record for advancing, and a favorable Autumn, such as the whole belt is now enjoying for late growth, will tell in favor of a large production. This does not seem to make against the im provements in prices. . Advices from the South sug gests that growers, merchants, and bankers are working togeth er successfully to prevent de moralization in prices. Efforts to enlist outside interests are meet ing with success, especially in the large Northern, Western, and Southwestern cities.

The head of a large business concern who agreed to pay an employee $2.00 more a week if he would agree to deposit one dollar every week in the savings bank, did the man a great favor, for he tried it and liked it so well that he kept it up until he is now a partner in the business.- A savings-bank is a great institution. ''The best man in- the world to borrow from is yourself. The way to do it is arbitrarily to; set aside at least a small amount each week, for the saving; account. The man who thinks vhe can't af ford it could manage to get along without a dollar or two if he did not have it. And when the rainy day comes there's, nothing like an umbrella and a raincoat.

Grain ' crops and cattle crops are our -main': sources of food, and: cotton crops for clothing,, but there is also a greater poten tial food supply in the cotton crop if we understood how to un- lock it. . , , - . According to a recent mono graph by Erwin W. . Thompson, " commercial agent of the Depart merit of Commerce, European Nations are finding put very ra pidly how to' make food of our cottonseed . oil: . France, Italy, . and other Southern Nations have always considered; oil as ah es sential article of diet. Olive oil is their native supply, but they have now learned the economy i of exporting their olive oil at high prices and importing in its. . place American cottonseed oilv which is lower in price but not: lower in nutritive value. v - Germany, the- Netherlands and- other Northern ; countries like ourselves, are hot fond of Wvl w 1,1 oio eating pure on, , out need more can pro duce, so they resort to. artificial butter and have developed it to a high degree of palatability. The surprising statement is made that the principal countries of Northern Europe are now mak ing artificial butter ("margarin" they call it) to the extent of 580,000 tons a year, and the sig nificant part of the story is that in 1913 they used as an ingredi ent over 300, 000 x barrels of cot toriseed oil from America, and are planning for an increase in ; 1914. , . " -'"By the recently discovered pro- . cess vOf solidifying liquid oils, cot- pil is now v beginning' tx ; compete with : hard "coconut, oil,- ? which sells at even higher pri ces than olive oil, and is becorii ing very popular as an ingredi ent of artificial butter. Cottonseed oil has exactly 10 " tiriies the nutritive value of beef steak and costs only half as' much. As the - United . States makes each year over. 3,000,000 barrels of refined cottonseed oil, it is worth while to study the.va rious methods of making it ac ceptable as food. Washington Dispatch.
