Worthy Projects Would Furnish Em- ployment During Period of Re. sdjuHtment Machinery for Program Is Ready Now Coopreative highway construction under the Federal aid road act must ' i be resumed as quickly as possible In I full measure, the Secretary of Agri culture, D. F. Houston, stated at a conference of editers of agricultural journals held recently in Washing ton. From unexpected balances of Fed eral appropriations for the last few years, from State funds beyond what was necessary to meet the Federal allotments, and from amounts avail able during the current fiscal year, approximately $75,000,000 will be available for expenditure during the calendar year. Next year, it all the i balances should be expended during this year, and we should have to rely solely on the funds accruing " next year, there will be about $20,000, 000 from Federal appropriations, and probably more than this amount from State sources, according to the Secretary's statement. The States, in addition, will expend sums in excess of what they have assigned, or will assign, for Federal aid road projects. Would Furnish Employment. "It seems to me," said the Secre tary, "that we should take a further step take his step not because of the importance of good roads, but also because of the desirability of furnishing worthy projects on which unemployed labor during the period readjustment may be engaged. There will be many things suggested for which Federal and State funds will be sought. Some -of these will be unworthy. Clearly such public works as roads are worthy, and it would be in the public interest to make avail able larger appropriations from the Federal Treasury to be used separ ately or in conjunction with State and local support. Machinery Now Exists. "There need be no delay in the execution of such a program. The Nation has already provided the ma chinery in the Department of Agri culture and in the State highway commissions. The Federal aid road act was fruitful of good legislation, and each State in tlie Union now has a central highway authority witn power and funds to meet the terms of the Federal act. The two agencies, in conjunction, have been engaged in devising well-considered road systems and in making surveys, plans, and specifications. The task will be one of selection, and those roads should be designated for im provement which are of the greatest economic importance, with due re gard to such military and other needs as are proper for consideration. There is no necessity for any depar ture from this scheme. The sugges tions made have .been canvassed with I the President, the Secretary of War, iand the Postmaster General, and I thov are In accord with the view that additional funds should be made available to this department and jthat they should be expended through existing machinery'."

"Real Gravely has a pure, rich taste," says Pete. "It's sweetened just enough, and one small chew holds its good taste so long. I figure that this class of tobacco costs me nothing extra maybeless than I'd have to spend for ordinary plug."
