DAIRYMEN OF THE STATE PLAN NING NEW DEPARTURE. GOSSIP FROM STATt CAPTAL Items of Interest Gathered from Re liable Sources and Presented in Condensed Form to Our Readers. Deposits of state banks have in creased $13,269,812.64 in the past year, and loans in the same period have reached a mark $9,533,425.28 higher than they were in October, 1912, ac cording to the state banking board re port just issued. The number of banks reporting is 714, with deposits of $91 794,086.44, and an average reserve of 25 per cent. Since August 26. 1913, loans have increased $3,199,122.06, de posits have decreased $2,400,140.39 and there are four new banks reporting. Notes and bills rediscounted and bills payable have increased $307,049.44, and the reserve has increased 5 per cent. The number of banks has in creased forty in the year. Depositors numbered in the last report are 296. 505. Dairymen Planning Campaign. Dairymen of the state are planning to inaugurate a campaign at the state meeting of organized agriculture look ing to the separation of the dairy com mission from the administrative side of the state government and placing it with the state farm dairy interests, there to come under the charge of the regents of the state university. Other dairymen are preparing to fight the ac tion on the ground that the practical and theoretical work cannot be com bined from a business standpoint and that the board of regents, which is given no power to enforce laws, would be continually hampered in perform ing the duties now outlined for the state dairy commission. The point is also to be made that the commission, even if it were possible to operate it under the university management, would not be able to get the money that it does under present conditions. Imitation Butter Signs Missing. While the big state law book has an anti-oleomargarine statute between its pages, state institutions are breaking the law and using thousands of pounds of the product without posting the re quired sign, “Imitation Butter Used Here." The discovery has just been made by Food Comraisioner Harman and his deputies, who have started a campaign in an effort to enforce the statutory provision. The first provi sion relative to obtainment of a license to sell imitation butter is half-heart edly complied with by some mer chants, while the law governing the use of the product is rarely obeyed. In substance, the law says that no keeper or proprietor of any bakery, hotel, public institution, dining car, restaurant, saloon, lunch counter or place of public entertainment shall al low the use of imitation butter without first displaying a sign. 10x14 inches in size, on which are the required words. Opinions on Selling Schemes. Raffling of houses and lots under the old scheme of selling hundreds and hundreds of numbers at low prices, or at any price for that mat ter, is not permitted under the state lottery law. according to an informal opinion given a citizen by the state legal department. Neither can the right of a storekeeper to sell a cer tain amount of specially priced goods to each customer be denied. The lat ter question arose when some Ne braskan objected to a merchant re stricted him to the purchase of six bars of soap for a quarter. The soap, which originally sells at three bars for a quarter, was a bargain at the special sale price and the complainant want ed to Ify in a supply at the reduced price. The merchant's advertising set out that only six bars would be sold to a single customer, which is within the rights of the storekeeper, according to the state legal lights. Farmers of Nebraska are steadily ■ and consistently buying silos for the improvement of their farms. In April. 1913. there were 2.076 silos in Ne braska. In 1912 therp were 1,683. Hand separators to the number of 47.444 were in use in 1913, as against 43,006 in 1912 and 42,782 in 1911. While neighborhood contests have been held in the past over claims to the title of “the oldest inhabitant,” Nebraskans of the future are likely to tilt over the right to possession of the appellation, “the oldest chauffeur.” The affair appears to be settled for a time by claims set up by Beers John stone, who, inta letter from his home at Henderson, Minn., informs Secre tary Paine of the Nebraska Historical society that it was he who operated “Joe Brown's old steam wagon, scheduled to make the Nebraska City Jo Denver run in 1861.” In the letter Mr. Johnstone informs the historical society men that the government ap propriated $14,000 for the construction of the ancient chug-wagon and for preparing a portion of the road over Vhich it was designed to pass. Thus both the buzz-buggy and the good roads movements may be said to have had their birth in this • state some fifty-two years ago. W. H. Harrison, prominent lumber dealer of Grand Island and for years 4 leading republican of the state, died Sunday at Clarkson Memorial hospital at Omaha, following a paralytic stroke.

Amount of charges where one road carries the cream to market will be designated and propor tionate amount of charges where more than one carrier assists rlWillmr WMM CO-OPERATE FOR GOOD ROADS State and Federal Government* Should Work Together for Highway Im provement, Say* Mr. Houston. Secretary Houston of the depart ment of agriculture say* that the state and federal governments Bhould work together for highway improvement, in order that a large proportion of the money annually spent for road con struction may not be wasted. In his own department, the office of public roads has been demonstrating the value of proper road building by the construction of certain object-les son roads, and the foreBt service is carrying out his idea of national and state co-operation in road building. The law requires that ten per cent, of the gross receipts from the national forestB shall be spent in the Btates in which the forests are situated. This money 1b expended for road improve ment, under direct control of the see retary of agriculture. The amount appropriated under this act, based on the receipts of the na tional forests for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1913, is $234,638.68. From the 1912 receipts for this ten per cent, road item, there is an additional $134, 831.10 which is still available. In administering the ten per cent, road fund, forest officers charged with the actual plans and expenditures in the neighborhood of their forests have, in almost all cases, secured an equal or a larger co-operative fund from state authorities for the building of certain pieces of road. With the money thus expended, many important roads are being built or put in repair. One on the Wyom ing national forest, six miles long, makes accessible to farmers a large body of timber and opens up a region of great scenic beauty. In northwest ! ern Arizona, part of the fund will be i used in connection with the LeFevre i Bright Angel road. Important because ! it makes accessible to tourists the I Grand Canyon of the Colorado. In one place, the ocean to ocean highway crosses the Apache national forest Arizona, and on this project the forest i reserve service and the local authori ties co-operated enthusiastically. On ' the Florida national forest in western , Florida, steel bridges and graded roads j have, under the stimulus of this fund, taken the place of corduroy, bog and sand. This federal road fund is now avail able in all national forest states of the west. Just as fast as returns come in, 'the forestry officials say, a similar | fund will become available in states in | which eastern national forests are be ' ing secured. CASH VALUE OF GOOD ROADS One Fact Alone le Sufficient to Jus0Fy Expense of Construction Under „ Efficient System. No one questions the statement that good roads have a high money value to the farmers of the nation, and it may be said that this alone is sufficient to justify the cost of their construction as rapidly as practicable under an effi cient, economical and equitable sys tem of highway improvement. The big point In favor of this ex penditure is the economy of time and force in transportation between farm and market, enabling the growers tc take advantage of fluctuations in buy ing and selling, as well as enhancing the value of real estate. It is esti mated that the average annual loss from poor roads is 76 cents an acre, while the estimated average increase resulting from improving all the public roads is $9. The losses in five years would ag gregate $2,432 for every section oi land, or more than enough to Improve two miles of public highway. The ne cessity of good roads is obvious, as il would enhance the value of each sec tion of land about $5,760, or more than double the estimated cost of two miles of improved highway, which const! tutes the quota for 640 acres of land. VITRIFIED BRICK FOR ROADS Department of Agriculture Issues Bul letin on Advantages Obtained in Using This Material. The United State? departfent of agriculture has recently" issued as Bul letin 23 of the new departmental se ries a contribution from the officg of the public roads and vitrified brack as a paving material for country roads. Brick roads have four distinct ad vantages: Durability, easy traction, ease of maintenance, and good appear ance. The high first cost is a disad vantage. The materials used and the process of manufacture are described as well as methods of testing the bricks. The construction of brick roads is et forth in detail and the various steps In the process are illus trate. Especial attention Is di rected to the importance of proper en gineering supervision. An appendix gives the method for inspecting and testing paving brick as recommended by the American So ciety for Testing Materials. Bring Market Nearer. Good roads not only bring the mar ket nearer to you, but they improve the social condition of your commun ity because they bind neighbors and friends more closely. a 1 Good Ewes, More Lambs.

And the Basis of Her Health and Vigor Lies in the Careful Reg ulation of die Bowels. If woman’s beauty depended upon cosmetics, eve.. woman would be a picture of loveliness. But beauty lies deeper than that. It lies in health. In the majority of cases the basis of health, and the cause of sickness, can be traced to the action of the bowels. The headaches, the lassitude the sallow skin and the lu6terless eyi»B are usually due to constipation. So many things that women do habitually con duce to this trouble.
