By Henry Wood (United Press Staft Correspondent) Rome, July 3—Italy, Germany, France and England have entered into a keen competition for preced- ence in the opening of aerial routes and comunications with Russia. “Without awaiting the re-establish- ment of diplomatic relations and al- though pledged not to enter into seperate agreements with the Sov- iets until after the Hague confer- ence, they have already mapped out and secured permission for'the es- tablishment of at least half a dozen great internation aerial lines that will link up the principal Russian centers with all the big western European capitals. - Although these aerial lines are be- ing established ostensibly -for -com- mercial purposés, no secret is made of the fact that the real motive back of their construction is that of se- curing political prestige and advan- tages in Russia. T¢ date, Italy and Germany, by reason of the fact that they have commercial agreements with' the Sov- fets which permit of -direct relations and open negotiations, are admitted- in-on the ground floor. Both Eng- land and France, however, are a lit- tle behind them in developing their own basis of aerial communications with Russia.

The expense is shared joint- ly by these county farm bureaus, cach contributing $30 per , month for the work and by the state funds. This expense to the farm bureau is to be met by cconomy rather than by additional subscription. The work of the Home Demonstra- tion Agent is to consist in helping with the problems coming up on the home side of farm life. The plan which does this best is the so-called project method. The project is a definitely planned course of study in five lessons, one lesson bejng given each month for five months in any one community., There are three special projects to be worked on this year, clothing, nutfition, and home management. The Home Dem- onstration Agent’s time is to be equally divided between the four counties one weck a month being spent in each of the counties with the exception of one-office day per weck which will be in Bemidji. Be- midji has been selected as head- quarters because it is most central- : 1y located and is most convenient. Each of the counties is to have organized communitics to carry on the work. The communitics to be reached first will be those which can be reached during the summer months more easily than in the winter when roads are impassable. The second groups of communitics will have work started in Decem- ber, lasting over a period of five months. It will be necessary there- fore to leave for the sccond series those which can be reached more easily by railroad., YOUNG MAN DROWNED A {Yantic City: by relief trains.

Sol- diersavere sent to the Tampico dis- trict by President Obregon follow- ing trouble over the action Yof Gen- cral Gorozave in+holding American prisioners, Reports stated that five vands were slain and fifty horses and many guns abandoned. Troops im- mediately followed up the attack in the hope of capturing Gorozave and the remainder of his army. There are at least 1,000 federal troops on duty. Some came from the south and others landed at Vera Cruz. According to the best infor- mation, thé bandit Jeader has mnot yet made good his boast of return-' ¢ ing to the Corlez Oil compary to collect 30,000 pus 000 miles of road. e The federal highway act, recently enacted specificallly states that all federal aid will be spent on a con- necting system of highways consist- ing of not more than 7 per cent of the mileage in ¢l ate and that this system shall consist of interstate or primary roads and in- tercounty or sccondary roads. Proposed systems have been ve- ceived by the Bureau of Public Roads of United States Department of Agriculture from all but eight states. They are plotted on a large square map of the United States and carefully examined as to the co-or- dination with the roads of adjacent states and service to all sections of the county. Where co-ordination is not satisfactory conferences are held with all intcrested state high- way officials and routes are adjust- cd. Many states have already adjust- ed difficult problems with their neighbors. As an example, the sys- tem sent by Nebraska showed a big gap in an important road along the northern border. It was learned, however, that South Dakota would follow with a system that would fit like pictures on a toy block.
