Dismissing Him Gently.
The head of a large shop, while

"How much do you get a week?"
he demanded. . '
"Five dollars." V
"Then here's a week's money; -now
clear out,"
The boy pocketed the money and

Juries of Farmers To Pass
Verdict on Scrub Sires
An outline for conducting scrub
sire trials, recently prepared by the
United States Department of Agri
culture, has been distributed to prac
tically every State in accordance
with several hundred requests. While
county agents plan to cpndcct most
of the trials,, ,a ' surprisingly large
number are being planned by school
superintendents, livestock organiza
tions, business men,' debating socie
ties, creamery organizations, livestock
breeders, agricultural officials of rail
roads, cosnty farm bureaus, and, in
one case, by a silo manufacturer.
Judging from the plans outlined,
many trials will be conducted before
juries of farmers, in connection with
county fairs, agricultural' clubs, aod
farmers' picnics, although, most of
them will be staged as independent
affairs. In a minnesota locality the
fate of the scrub sire wiM be decided
in a tow hall debate.
Copies of the outline may be ob
tained on application to the United
States Department of Agriculture.
An analysis of the various sources
of highway funds since 1914 made by
the Bureau of Public Roads of the
United States Department of Agri
culture shows that there is a marked
tendency to collect a larger propor
tion of highway funds from the own
ers, and users of motor vehicles. In
1914, out of a total highway income
of $240,262,784, the collections from
motor vehicles amounted to $12,382,
031, or 5.1 per cent of the total. In
1921, seven years later, the motor ve
hicle , owners and operators paid
$118,942,706 in motor vehicle fees and
$3,685,460 in gasoline taxes, which to
gether equaled 10.6 per cent of the
total income for highway purposes.
A similar compilation of payments
made by owners and operators of
motor vehicles for liienses and. per
mits in 1923 shows a total contribu
tion on their part of $188,970,992. In
the same year gasoline taxes levied
by 35 States amounted to $36,813,939.
The motor vehicles, accordingly, con
tributed a total of $225,84.931, or 19.5
per cent of the entire 1923 highway
income. In the si. New England
States this contribution is 25.1 per
cent. This increase is accounted for
by the increase in the total number of
vehicles registered and in the change
in the average, payment per vehicle,
wheh has risen from $11.70 in 1921
to $15 per yehicje in 1923. ,
A very substantial part of the total
highway income, 38.1 pet cent, was
derived from the sale of bonds, both
State nd local. General property
taxes contributed less than half the
highway income, or 444 per cent.
1 his means, worked Out in another
way. ibat of every dollar collected
by, the State's, counties, cities, town
i hips, and other taxing "districts, only
12.4 cents was use,d for highway pur
poses. The average annual expendi
ture per person per mile of road all
over the United States is only 0.0054
cent 1 cent for each 200 nales of
road. This ranges from 0.0015 cent
in the west North Central States to
0.0101 cent per person per mile in the
Pacific States. ' '

dle man's profit. 1 :
. 3. .We buy Dry Goods from the East, where prices a're always lowest.
4. We are located one mile from Prentiss with practically no overhead
expense, such as high rent, clerk hire, electric light bills, water rent, town
. tax, and so on. 1 r
5, We sell 'em for cash. . A small profit and quick turnover is better
than a big profit and long credits.
Comeand make us prove what we claim. ;
