i Committee Maps Out Preliminary
Plans—Attorneys Have Been
Engaged—Forms of Petition
and Procedure Being
Prepared.
| Oklahoma City, Okla.—The proposed
interstate postal highway, from the
Kansas line on the north to the Texas
bounday on the south, will be built
at once by the organization of road
districts and the sale of road bonds,
according to preliminary plans mapped
out by the ways and means committee
appointed at the good roads meeting
held at the Lee-Huckins hotel some
weeks ago. The committee, which is
composed of one member from each
county through which the road will
pass, met at the office of the state
highway commissioner.
Chairman Clerk C. Hudson reported
the result of his conference with
eastern bond attorneys, and the sub-
sequent employment by the State Good
Roads association of a Chicago firm
of attorneys who have examined the
Oklahoma road laws and submitted
a schedule of procedure and a form
of petition that will meet all require-
ments of the law.
Forms of the petition and procedure
will be placed in the hands of each
committeeman immediately and road
districts organized. To form a road
district it is necessary to secure the J
signatures of twenty-five of the voters i
ot the proposed district, and an election I
for the issue of bonds is then called J
by the county commissioners.
It is anticipated that no trouble will j
be exerieuced in securng the required j
number of signatures, issuing bonds j
and building the postal highway im- i
mediately.

there will be surplus moisture which
will not be taken up by the air incor-
porated and this surplus moisture of
water will crystalize out grainy when
the cream is hardened in the packing
can. A second causD of grainy cream
is slow hardening in the packing can,
which allows the moisture to sepa-
rate, and later as the hardening is fin-

crystalizes and causes grainy cream,
A third cause of grainy cream is a

there is no filler to take up the water
