Tho teaching of road building In tho schools of tho state as a means to ward education of thoso who would In later years take moro Interest In UiIb than- has tho present generation, was advocated to tho State Automo bllo association In Lincoln by C. H. Epperson of Falrtleld, former state senator. "Otir future road overseers, county offldalB, legislators and governors are growing up within our reach," said Mr. Epperson, "and why should wo not begin by teaching them the things that will help them solve tho prob. lems of the future.' The present gen eration has only opened up tho way moro remalnB to bo learned and Btlll more to bo done. Improvement can only begin where entire communities are united In the work and where they are desirous of nldlng other commun ities In completing good roads, with Bvery other section to accomplish lasting results, Thero can bo no bet ter way toward partially solving' tho problem than by rearing children who aro In sympathy with tho move nnd who understand most of Its phases." Senator Epperson haB a bill provld Ing for tho instruction suggested and It 1b likely that this will become a part of tho road laws' leglalatlon which will bo Introduced nt tho com ing session of the state's lawmakers. Tho greater part of tho tlmo of one day's session wbb given over to a dis cussion of proposed road legislation. A bill looking to tho creation of a stato highway commission was read over Bcctlon by section and discussed at considerable length. This as final ly approved by tho association includ. ed the following provisions: Proposed Legislation. "The state highway commission to bo composed of the governor, tho at tornoy general nnd tho land commis sion tho same make-up ns tlio pres ent state hoard or Irrigation.

"Tho duties of the commission shall too to Invostlgato and carry on exper imental road building work, to test alfferoht methods of construction, to try out plants for building roads in sections of tho stato where different boIIb are encountered and to act In a similar capacity with respect to the building of bridges. "Tho commissions may be consulted by any county or township or city of ficials having supervision ot roads tor Information nnd data relatlvo to road construction, repair or mainten ance. "The commissioners shnll receive no compensation for tholr labor, but thoy may draw bucIi expenses nB thoy Incur In performing tholr duties, "Tho deputy commissioners shall nave power to appoint a etnto engi neer to bo a specialist In road build ing and maintenance. "All road overseers and other of. flclnlB of counties, villages and townB at tho stato having supervision over roads, streets and bridges to furnish dotnlled Information with respect to Iho highways and bridges undor tholr Jurisdiction." Having In mind the defeat of sev eral road bills at tho 1911 session of the. legislature, the various good roud Drgunlzatlvs of tho Btato do not pro Pobo to lot tho matter go by default at tho coming session.

Whiio exact statistics tiro difTlcult to obtain from all tho states It is bolioved Nebraska ranks well up toward tho top. Says the agri cultural department's report: "That tho poultry of Nebraska 1b of some Importance Is verified by tho fact that tho assessment of hens re turned by tho county assessors In 1910 Is over four times aB much as all tho diamonds found in tho state, half as much as all tho pianos, ten times as much as as all the cash re-, glstcrs, nlno times as much as all the safes, and $112,000 moro than all the steam engines. ."Tho helpful hon is ono of tho prlmo factors In reducing tho high cost of living; tho family with a fow dozen lions well kept, need not worry about tho meat problem.

"But Nebraska hens do hot havo to hatch eggs; they can put In their timo laying, for Nebraska factories mnko annually ono-half of all tho in-, cubatora manufactured in tho United States and Canada. Thoso incubators aro sent by carloads all over the civil ized world, and fluffy chicks by the millions belt tho globo as a tribute to, tho Inaternal Industry which has its headquarters In Nebraska. "While NebraBkn la selling its vast amount of poultry products annually, tho great state of Oregon Is buying three million dollars worth from Ne braska and other states. The Btato superintendent of public instruction In Oregon Is endeavoring to enlist tho Bchool children In tho problem of can celling this deficit by having every child In tho schools of Oregon be tween tho nges of G and 16 keep a dozen hens." If Nebraska school' chil dren wero to do that they would make Nebraska tho greatest poultry market In tho world." State Highway Commission.
