‘Get Farmer Out of Mud'
Object of Nation-Wide
Movement
A nation-wide movement to “g^t
the farmer out of the mud" and : e
lieve traffic congestion on the main,
trunk-line highways at the centers
of population, through the paving,
with low-cost surfaces, of the
county's farm-to-markct. or back
country roads, will be launched at
a great conference, or convention, of
farm and motor organization lead
ers, governors and 6tate and coun
ty officials, engineers and con
tractors, to be held at West Baden
Springs. Ind., October 28 to Novem
ber 1, next.
2000 Expected
Approximately 2000 men active in
toad construction and in advaifc
lng the national program for farm
and traffic relief will get together
for the five days for a thorough dis
cussion of highway improvement
by means of low-cost surfacing, and
the best means of financing and ex
pediting road construction in the
back-country districts on roads that
are still dusty, muddy, rutty and
more or less unusable during most
of the year. One entire session will
be devoted to a thorough discussion
of the Joint co-operative research
Investigation now under way by the
United States Bureau of Public
Roads at Washington and the As
phalt association of New York with
a* view to developing improved lowr
cost types of pavement construction
for the farm-to-market roads.
Farm organization officials de
clare that the deplorable condition
of the farm-service roads, which
the majority of farmers must use
in getting to and from their farms
to the paved highways, has become
a serious matter. Without dis
counting the value of the highways
connecting the cities, farm organi
sations feel that it is high time an
Effective movement were started for
paving these roads. While the
farmers of the United States are
pairing 7 per cent of the taxes for
state and local highways, less than
3 per cent of the farms are reached
by paved roads.
Unm proved Highways
Today, approximately 5,000.000
farmers are still living on earth
roads, and there are still in the
United States 2.484,821 miles of un
improved highways. Of the 3.050.
000 miles of highways in the coun
try, only 187.000 miles have high
type surfaces such as asphalt, brick
and concrete. Automobile men de
clare that if all the 24.000,000 auto
mobiles in service today were placed
on the paved roads at one time,
each car would have only 13.7 yards
in which to operate. The 40.000
miles of new roads annually con
structed are not much more than
sufficient to provide parking space
for the annual increase in new mo
tor cars and trucks.

IMMIGRATION
BEFORE POST
San Benito Legionnaires
Will Plan Definite
Stand At Meeting
(Special to The Herald*
SAN BENITO. Aug. 29.—The
question of taking a definite stand
against those features of present
and proposed immigration laws
which result in the deportation of
Mexican families long residents of
the Valley will be taken up at the
meeting of the American Legion
post here Thursday night, with
Maor H. B. Galbraith of Brownsville
as the principal speaker.
Most posts in the Valley will
probably consider the immigration
question, as a result of action
planned by the local post, in case
75 per cent of Its members favor
such a stand.
It will be explained to the Legion
men that thousands of Mexican
people who have lived here for
years, some of them as long as 25
years, are subject to deportation,
and are being deported: families
being broken up. losing their prop
erty. and otherwise being unjustly
treated, because of some provisions
of the immigration laws now in ef
fort. with the Box bill, providing
still more stringent regulations, due
to come up in the near future.
New Route Proposed

TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 29.—Water
transportation across the gulf and
then up the Mississippi and Ohio .
rivers to such terr nals as 8t. Lou
is. Chicago. Cincinnat and Pitts

the Mississippl-Gulf Ship and Ter
minal company, with headquarters
in St. Louis. The new water trans
portation company will haul citrus
fruits in refrigerated ships. Low
freight rates will be a feature of
I the proposed transportation project.
The development of navigation
facilities up the Mississippi river

direct water 'h‘ unents from cold
storage plants. V *th the comple
tion of the new Sarasota terminal
'"cold storage pi t with the big
Tampa terminal export storage
nlant already in operation, facili
ties are provided to keep four re
frigerated ships plying up and down
the Mississippi and other Inland

ships will each have capacity of

(Continued from page 6> ,
“No. Much as I care about you. I
won't have anything to do with you
any more,** she told him firmly. “I
won’t even ride home wih you. I'm
going to walk."
“Why, you’re crazy, Chat!" He
stared at her, bewildered. "What's
changed you like this, all of a sud
den? Are you sore about some
thing? What have I done?"
She tried to tell him how she felt,
as they walked along through the
cool, murmurous summer night, fol
lowed by the lovers’ moon that
shone above the ho us tops.
“You see, you belong to another
woman," she said. “Only I didn’t
realize it until I saw that handker
chief in your house tonight and
knew that she’d been there to see
you."
“Well, what if she had?" asked
Bryant. "I can't help it if she
comes bawling and boo-hooing
around the place, can I? I told
her this morning that I’m through
with her and, believe me. Babe, I
am! There's nobody for me any
more but you—”
He tried to stop her in a dark
part of the street and take her in
his arms once more. But Chatty
pushed him away.
Her mind was still full of the lit
tle flat, with its hand-made cush
ions and lamp shades, its white kit
chen stool, its white twin beds with
the bookshelf above them—all the
things that separated him from her.
“I can't believe you’ve changed
this way just because you’ve found
out that my wife comes to see nr
sometimes.” Bryant kept saying, as
they walked along with the width
of the sidewalk between them. “It
must be something else.”
Fussing and arguing with each
other, they walked up and down
Lipton street a dozen times when
they finally reached it.
Without getting anything realty
settled, they left each other at ore
o'clock, and Chatty went quietly up
the stairs to the second floor cf the
apartment house.
The Front Room was filled with
light, and Pud and Mrs. Chatterton
were sitting there, wrapped in their
bathrobes, and looking very sleepy.
Pud got up when Chatty came in.
and pointed accusingly at the old
clock on the mantel shelf.
“Look at that clock!” he said to
her. “One in the morning—and
your mother worried to death about
you! Staying out half the night
without letting her know where you
were! You’re a fine kind of a
daughter, aren't you?”
Chatty glared at him. “You're
getting to be awfully. pure since
[ mother stopped your bootlegging
career, aren’t you?” she asked him,
sarcastically.
Then she turned to her mother.
“It won't happen again, mother,”
she told her. “I should have tele
phoned you to let you know I was
staying out late. But I'm througn
with the crowd I’ve been going with,
| so I won't be keeping late hours
any more, I guess. "

7 lbs., in 3 Weeks
Rev. W. H. Taylor writes: "Alter a
7 we:Vs revival campaign 1 was
entirely run-down and losing flesh
rapidly. I decided to give Ironlzed
Yeast a 3 weeks’ trial. After 2 weeks
I found my strength returning and
the tired feeling gone. In 3 weeks I
had gained 7 lbs. and was myself
again.’*
Imagine just 3 weeks to change
from a “skinny." tired person to a
strong well-fiiled-out man or wom
.#i. Ugly hollows vanish, rvcom
stick limbs become round and chub
Jy. Tired feeling disappears, Blem
ished skin clears.
Only when Yrast Is Ironigrd it is
more effective— for Iron Is needed to
bring out the weight-building and
strengthening value of Yeast.
Pleasant tasting tablets, safe for
everybody. Never cause gas or
bloating, no harmful drpgs.
“So certain and quick are the
amazing health benefits of Ironized
