Washington, April 80. National and state cooperation in a three billion dollar expenditure for good billion being for construction and two billion for maintenance and both extending over a period of fifty proposed by a plan submitted today by Jonathan Bourne, to the Joint Congressional Committee on Federal Aid in the Construction of Post Roads, of which Bourne is Chairman. His plan contemplates that the billion dollar construction fund shall be apportioned among the states upon the basis of area, population, assessed valuation and road mileage and that the several states shall deposit in the U. S. Treasury their fifty-year four per cent bonds for the amount due them and the Government loan the states the par value thereof for road construction, the Government raising its fund by the sale of its fifty-year non-taxable three per cent bonds.

The Government will also, under this plan pay to each state annually for road maintenance an amount equal to two per cent of the amount of bonds on deposit, provided the state expends a like amount for the same purpose. The plan also provides for team work between the states and Federal Government but avoids subservience of the state to any Federal bureau of department. It suggests the establishment of a National School or Highway and Bridge Engineering here in Washington so as to create a supply of trained specialists from whom the states could draw for state and district engineers.

The most fundamental cause of decreased soil productiveness in Missouri is the gradual depletion of the organic matter. A good supply of organic matter in a soil is necessary, first, to keep the soil loose and friable, second, to maintain the supply of nitrogen, and third, to make available the mineral plant foods through its decay.

Commercial fertilizers will for a time, bring remunerative results on worn land, even when the organic matter of the soil is not maintained, but the continued profitable use of commercial fertilizers on most soils is dependent, upon the maintainance of the supply of organic matter. The growing; of grain crops Is the moat important cause of the deplet ed supply of organic matter in our soils. Organic matter cannot be maintained under grain larger amounts of manure added to the soil than can be made by feeding the grain crops. Where a man cannot buy manure, as is usually the case, it is necessary, therefore to alternate grain crops with organic matter building crops, such as clover and cowpeas, either feeding all of these back or turning For the Week and NBIYOUS, Tired-out, weak, nervous men and women would feel ambitious, energetic, full of life and always have a good appetite, if they would do the sensible thing for health- take Electric Bitters.

H. Hollman who was arrested in Grauby last week for impersonating; a "government inspector'' and thereby obtaining money from business men is still in jail here and will await the June term of the Circuit Court. He was in Neosho one day and succeeded in deceiving only one man and getting a dollar from him.

While he was out Hollman left and was not seen again.

He went to Granby and succeeded in working his fraud on four merchants before he was caught. Marshal Gribhle arrested him and took him before Justice Nunu on charge of obtaining money by fraud.
