'Bad highways will drive men and women from the farms Into cities, thus reducing the number of food proihieers and Increasing the number of mouths to be fed from a steadily diminishing food supply. That road leads straight to anarchy and Bolshevism, for a decreasing food supply and increasing population congestion breeds discontent, poverty and ultimately anarchy. 'The good highway Is the straight road that opens the way to better schools, better religious activities In country churches, lietter dwellings. and that means better homes, more contentment on the farms, larger food production, with more profit Justly earned by the growei and yet a lower cost to the consumer.

The recent work of the United States Department of Agriculture and states to Improve the methods of feeding live stock has stimulated Interest In all parts of the country and feeding problem blanks Bent to many farmers have been Ulled out and sent In for replies. A survey made last summer showed that a large percentage of stock raisers and feeders have many puzzling problems and that most of them are searching for better and more economical rations. A few of the early inquiries received as a result of this nsw service offered to farmers show a wide range of problems from scattered states. A Maryland farmer asked for good rations for brood sows and growing pigs. Although he had been keeping bogs for eight years, ear corn was practically the only feed used. The department's reply pointed out the principles of successful swine feeding and called attention to the need for good pastures, mineral mixtures, and a grain ration. A Kentucky cattle feeder submitted the rations he hud been using for finishing for both the spring and fall markets and received suggestions which should save him money the coining year. Among the other problems the department has helped to solve are the making of dairy rations where certain feeds commonly used are not available; the addition of more desirable crops in the farm rotation; feeding boar pigs to be sold for breeding pur- poses ; the saving of grain by use of Ttm Don't be forever thinking along v' (Prepared by the United State.

To Shaw the thesis and not the play is the thing. He takes care that the thesis TT5 ' ' shall be known. It has been his task to set Joun of Arc right before the world, to reconsider her biography In the light of modern science, psychology and historical fact. "We have got to rid ourselves," he announces, "of conventional Ideas regarding Joan of Arc. The keynote of her character was that she was Insufferable. She was Insufferable because of her fine qualities in the same sense In which Socrates also was Insufferable. The suburban snobs were roused against him and that was why he killed himself. Jesus Christ also was Insufferable.' Incidentally, something hitherto. unknown In the histrionic field Is being enacted today.
