The Chicago Herald and Examiner proposes to put gne hundred men on an island where fish is a gtaple article of sustenance. Twenty-five of the "men catch fish. - Twenty-five of them clean the fish. Twenty-five cook the fish. Twenty-five hunt fruit and vegetables. The entire company eat what * - thug is gathered and prepared. ¢ §o long as éverybody works there is plenty. “All hands are happy. . Ten of the allotted fish catchers: stop catching fish, Ten more dry and hide part of the fish they catch. -Five continue to catch fish ,b}t work only part, of ‘the. day at it. Fgwer fish. go into the community kitchen. But the same number of men insist upon having _the game: number of fish to eat as they had before. The fifty men who formerly cleaned and cooked the fish have 1ess to do owing to the under supply of fish. But they continue to demand food. Gradually greater burdens are laid upon the kflt and vegetable hunters. These insist upon i a lgrger share of fish in return for their larger It ¢ effe in gathering fruit and vegetables. It is denjed them, and soon twenty of the twenty-five qui_gathering fruit and vegetables. But the entire one hundred men continue to in-_ sist;upon their right to eat. The daily food supply gradually shrinks. The man with two fish demands three bananas in ex- chapge for one of them. The man ‘with two bananas- :qf\pes to part with one for fewer than three fish. Fjnally the ten men remaining at work quit in disgust. Everybody continues to-eat. The hidden fish are brought to light and consumed. Comes -8 dq when there I/S no food of any kind. Every- body on the island blames everybody else. ‘What would seem to be the solution? We thought you would guess it.

This being so, they should not object to some system that will prevent loss to wheat and hog raisers, the prices for whose products were -arbitrarily kept down and who had no chance to ‘make larga‘profits from a steadily advancing price, but are now losing heavily as prices fall.—Farm, Stock & Home. . ° | Judging from the contents of some daily news- papers, it would be better if they were sent out to their subscribers before being printed.

L, — It is\ believed that the bureau- of public roads, United States depart- ment of agriculture, through its test- ing divislon has done more than any [ other single agency in déveloping the Intelligent use of . bitumens in -road construcifon.. For, example, experl- ments conducted “under service con- ditions by this bureau decided wheth- er a soft stone could be used In biturginous macadam and bituminoys concrete; whether ' rocks having: ‘a |- marked cleavage could be used to ad- vantage .In such construction; what quantities of bitfimen give the best re- sults when used-as surface treatments on water-bound -macadam and what kind of covering material and what quantities should be Wled in any case. ,A large amount of detailed techni- ‘cal Information valuable to highway engineers generally has been secured by the bdreau in the course of its research and experimental work. The ablility- of the highway engineer to construct roads. which would accom- modate automobile traffic has, in no |. small degree, been the underlying reason that the automobile industry has developed to its pFesent enormoug proportions. In 1016 the passage of the federal ald road act marked a new epoch in highway construction in the United States. The war thenin progress em- phasized the need of further develop- ‘ments in road buildinz. The b\ffnu Bituminous Mlca'dl’n‘:' Mixing Method. has sought to keep well to the front in the solution of the mew problems presented and is today conducting. ex- periments and investigations of a fundamental character.

It iSTannounced that the expenditure in the United States for hard-surfaced highways during next year will be around $633,- |° 000,000 as compared with $125,000,000 during this year. The possibilities of the truck for carrying produce and supplies between farms and cities, is only touched -as yet.
