DEPARTMENT OF AGBICULTUt.
More than 81,000,000.000 is now
available for road building in the Un-
ited State*.
A recent act of Congress direct* the
Secretary of War to transfer certain
surplus Army equipment to the De-
partment of Agriculture, making av-
ailable for distribution to the states
millions of dollars' worth of machin-
ery for use in highway construction.
The machinery will be allotted in the
same ratio a* funds granted to the
states for federal aid in road building.
This material is in addition to approx-
imately 22,000 Army motor vehicles
which have already been alloted to the
states through the Department of Ag-
riculture in accord with previous leg-
islation. As yet no definite estimate
can be made as to the number of ma-
chines pf different kinds which the
Secretary of War will designate to
be "surplus and not required for mil
itary purposes," as provided in the
act Among the scores of items listed
in the law are: Road rollers, sprink
ling wagons, concrete mixers, derricks
complete pile drivers, clam shell buck-
ets, caterpillar and drag-line excava-
tor*, plows, cranes, dump wagons
hoisting engins, stump pullers, wheel-
barrows, blasting machines, corrugat-
ed metal culcerts, surveying instru-
ments, drafting machines, fabricated
bridge materials, gravity power con-
veyors and wagons. The federal gov-
ernment is to be reimbursed by the
states by a sum equal to 20 per cent
of the value of the material less all
freight charges incurred in delivering
the property. The title remains vested
in the state for use in improving the
highways.

Willow Business Men Thank Friends.
During the reecnt fire at Willow, a
great deal of heroic work was done in
fighting the fire, and the result was
that several buildings were saved
that would otherwise surely have been
lost. Not only the good people of Wil-
low, but from neighboring towns hur-
ried to help fight the fire. Because of
the brave and heroic work done, the
Business Men at Willow who lost in
the fire, and those who were saved
loss by the labor in fighting the fire
wish to express their thanks. In that
expression of thanks all the under-
signed join.

More and more do we see the pro-1
gressive bank of today making the i
question of industrial development a I
personal matter.
The wide-awake bank management
knows that bank prosperity depends
on two kinds of accounts, individual
and industrial.
Individual account will be lacking
if there is a lack of industrial activ-
ity. Therefore it is directly to the
interest of every bunk to push com-
munity development and thus by in-
direction develop its own business.
| All over the country we sec this
, thought reflected in bank advertising,
i Illustrating this point take following'
| paragraph from a recent advertise-
ment of the Northwestern National
Bank, Portland, Oregon, in which it
points out advantages of increased
water power development:
"Increased soil production as well
as greater industrial production will
be the fruits derived from the devel-
opment of our 'white coal'. Cheap
powor will enable irrigation projects i
to pump water to our arid lands and }
reclaim them to fevtlllty. Powei will'
be used to do a groat share of the
drudgery on farms and will offer e\-
THE UNIVERSAL CAR
The Ford Sedan ia the favorite family car, aeata five comfortably. While
enclosed car with permanent top, it haa large windows, and may in a minute be
changed to a moat delightful open car with always a top protecting against the
sun. In inclement weather it ia a closed car, dust-proof, water-proof, cold-proof.
Finely upholstered. Equipped with electric starting and lighting system and
demountable rims with 3 >^-inch tires all around. A real family car. Anybody can
aafely drive it. It has all the conveniences of an electric car with the economy
which goes with Ford cars, low cost of purchase price, small cost of operation
and maintenance. Won't you come in and look at it?
