ALL PARTS OF OKLAHOMA
FEDERAL AID AVAILABLE
State Highway Projects Total 212
Miles, Less Than Half of Amount
Apportioned Used.
Federal funds amounting to $2.3 la,-
82U.49 are available lor road construc-
tion in Oklahoma, according to the
latest figures from the federal bureau
of public roads, which has charge of
the federal government’s participation
In road construction.
At the same time there were under
construction in Oklahoma 212.7 miles
ot federal aid roads, the federal gov-
ernment’s 'portion of which cost is
•■timated at 12.425,928.01. While this
amount is in excess of the amount
“unobligated,” the bureau designates
the amount still available, it does not
mean that the roads under construe
tion will more than exhaust the funds
apportioned to Oklahoma from the
general road funds. For the cost of
what is now under construction is
considered as ‘obligated” even though
it has not been paid out.
Total apportionments have been
authorized for Oklahoma, from 1917
to 1924 inclusive, to the amount of
$10,783,513.29. However, congress has
not appropriated all of this, but it has
appropriated all except the last year’s
authorization.
So many states have failed to use
up their apportionments that a large
amount is left available.

WHEN NOBILITY BREWED BEER
English “Upper Classes” Proved Not
to Have Been Dependent on
Commercial Product.
Relics of “ye olden days” show that
beer was brewed on their own estates
by the nobility In very ancient days.
On the site at present occupied by
Ilay Hill once stood a farmhouse be-
longing to the Herkley estate, which
comprised the land upon which Devon-
shire house stands. Recent clearing
away of debris In the fine old gardens
has brought to light the old vaults be-
longing to the original farmhouse,
which dated back front the late Tudor
period. When Berkley street was cut
through in 1000 the old farmhouse was
pulled down, but only to the street
level, so that the original vaults have
been found preserved below the street.
The brewing house has been cleared
of debris. Brickwork believed to go
hack beyond 1000 has been found, anti
It Is believed that the two mash tubs
bearing the lettering “D.D.,” now on
view in the vaults of Devonshire house,
were brought from the original brew-
ery.—London Mall.
Machine Chucks.
A six-spindle chucking machine that
Is equivalent to an automatic screw
machine for short pieces, for it han-
dles five pieces of work with twenty-
one cutting tools In operation at one
time, Is particularly useful for work
that requires a number of separate
and distinct operations. The machine,
according to an illustrated article In
Popular Mechanics, has six spindles,
five of which nre In an operating po-
sition, while the sixth is In nil un-
loading nnd loading position. At the
end of one cycle of operations, when
a finished piece reaches this position,
the machine automatically stops for
replacing the finished with an unfin-
ished piece.

Few men can resist the temptation
to swallow undeserved praise.

told anecdotes of his boyhood days.
Woes of Foreign Travel.
Jesse Lasky, ttie movie magnate,
was talking about the woes of post-
war foreign travel.
“In Paris the other day,” he said,
“J met an American In the bar of one
of the hotels de luxe.
“ 'It is costing me here in this hotel,’
the American said, as lie forked out
about $2 for a glass of lice—‘well,
it is costing me here just. 8,000 francs
a week.'
“ ‘But your quarters,’ said I. 'Very
spacious, eli?’
“ ‘Quarters?’ he grunted. ‘You mean
eighths.’ ”
Magnetic Indicator Used.
It is a well-known fact, referred to
in Popular Mechanics Magazine, that
drill steel, in order to he tempered
for the greatest possible toughness
and resistance to wear, should ho
quenched at the lowest possible tem-
perature above the critic 1 point,
which is the point at which the struc-
ture of the steel changes. This point
coincides with thnt at which the steel
loses Its magnetism, nnd advantage
has been taken of this coincidence in
the production of a magnetic indicator
to assist the blacksmith in quenching
his steel at the proper point.
One Live Topic.
They were thrown into each other’s
society in n country house, without
common interests or the least attrac-
tion for each other.
Finally, after casting about for a
fertile subject of conversation, only
to fail in every attempt, he said, des-
perately: “Will you marry me?”
She considered long nnd deeply.
“I think I'll say yes,” she replied
at last. ‘‘It will give ns so much more
to talk about while we re here.”—Los
Angeles Times.

What to Eat and Why
A Natural Supply of Vitamin
The word “Vitamin” is new, but
the thing itself is as old as the
human race. It is the energizing,
vitalizing, growth - producing ele-
ment in the right food. Its ab-
sence is a serious fault of the
wrong food. When the food is
right, there is no need to go to the
drug store for Vitamin.
Grape-Nuts, the famous ready-
to-eat cereal, supplies the natural
Vitamin from the wheat, and a fur-
ther supply is included in the cream
or milk with which Grape-Nuts is
eaten.
Grape-Nuts is delightfully crisp
and appetizing, with a flavor whief
happily suggests the wholesome,
health-building goodness which the
food contains Phosphorus and
Iron, us well as Vitamin, with a
bran content to stimulate intestinal
action, are supplied by Grape-Nuts.
Many of our modern, “refined”
foods lack these vitally necessary
elements.
Grape-Nuts digests easily and
is assimilated quickly, and is splen-
didly nourishing and energizing.
You’ll find better health and fit-
ness, in the natural way, with
Grape-Nuts as a regular part of
your diet.
There's genuine economy in
Grape-Nuts—many servings of this
exceptionally nourishing food to
the package. At your grocer’s—■

Body Builder. “There’s a Reason.”

Oyster 80 Years Old.
An oyster eighty years old has been
taken from Delaware bay, it is report-
ed. Scientific investigators agree and
assert that the age of an oyster is In-
dicated by the ridges or waterlines on
its shell, just as the age of a tree Is
Indicated by the annual rings that
form on its trunk.
A ridge appears on an oyster every
year, according to these savants, up to
the fortieth year. After that the shell
takes on one only every ten years.
This venerable Delaware oyster bud
44 ridges; hence it was eighty years
old.

Short Offers To See Court.
Oklahoma may yet have a represen-
atiive on the boundary question if
plans of the attorney general and the
commerce of the land offices are succ-
essfully carried out. That is possible
in spite of the fact that the United
States supreme court appointed com-
missioners to represent the govern-
ment and the state of Texas, did not
appoint one for Oklahoma.
George Short, attorney general, con-
ferred with the commissioners of the
land office and told them if they want-
ed a man to represent Oklahoma on
the commission that he would go to
Washington and personally request
the supreme court to appoint one.
Short said that he had telegraphed the
department of justice, inquiring if
there was yet time for Oklahoma to
obtain a place on the commission.
If the reply Is favorable, and if the
attorney general’s trip to Washington
results iti having an Oklahoma rep-
resenative appointed, the commission-
ers of the land office will name the
man.

has to offer YOU!
If your dream of success seems like a hopeless ambition,
if you are discouraged trying to get ahead on high priced
land, if your present location fails to give you opportunity,
there is a new deal for you. a new chance in the fertile, virgin
farms of Western Canada, where wheat produces 20 to 40
bushels to the acre, where the 1922 crop was biggest in history,
where oats, barley and hay and fodder crops are the basis of a great
dairy industry, and a man’s work brings him success and prosperity.
Low Priced Land—the Last Great West
In Western Canada you still can buy virgin prairie land at $15 to $20
per acre, on long terms if desired, near to town, railroads, etc.—land such
' as has for many years produced the world’s prize winning wheat, oats, barley, flax, rye.
alfalfa. Canada had no “war time” land boom; prices are not inflated — you get
in on the ground floor.
Taxes Favor the Fanner
as Values Increase
The tax laws of Weatern Canada encourage
the producing farmer. The tax on land is
reduced when it ia brought under cultiva-
tion-while on your buildings, machinery,
improvements, personal property, automo-
bile, there is no tax at all. A single crop is
often worth more, acre for acre, than the
cost of the land.
Rent Now—Buy Later
Pay Out of Profits
Canada welcomes the industrious settler.
What you have now ian’t so important. II
your capital ia small, or you cannot sell your
present holdings to advantage, rent a fertile
Canadian farm and “try it out for a season
or two. Make a good living, increase your
capital, and buy later. Farms may be rented
from successful settlers on easy terms; ia
some cases with option of purchase.
