public of Honduras issued a cordial
and general invitation to American
capital and skilled American labor to
go to Honduras. Dr. Argueta pre-
dicted that with a coalition liberal-
conservative government in Honduras
the days of revolution were over and
he declared that his nation is now in
for an era of profitable development.
Highways are being built to connect
the larger cities of the little republic
and educational facilities are being
increased. Barracks and armories are
being converted into school houses.
The most significant statement made
by Dr. Argueta, from the American
standpoint, in discussing the influx of
capital and labor to his country was
the following:
“And we prefer American rather
than other foreign capital and work-
ers, because we are all members of
the American continental family and
because we, in Honduras, are in favor
of the true Pan-Amniericanism.”
Here is something for our interna-
tionalists and self-styled liberals to
think about. For several years now,
in fact ever since Europe lost the
edge on the Pan-American market be-
cause of the World War, we have
been regaled by stories of Uncle
Sam’s imperialism and dollar diplo-
macy in Latin-America. We have
been told how the United States was
entering these countries to the soutn
as the flaming and greedy exponent
of imperialism, displacing the good
European nations whose commercial
interests were there of course not for
profit but from “humanitarian” mo-
tives. We have been told that the
Latin-Americans resent our Dolfies
and economic penetration of tL
countries, and resent our efforts 1
protect lives and property and pro-
mote peace and prosperity there. We
have been informed, in stories hasty
ed by European interests, how unp
ular we now are in Latin-Ameri¢a
have been threatened with a condition
in which we would not have a friend
left in the world unless we surrender-
ed to European political and economic
dictation. - Z
The first blow to the ternational:
ists came when the trouble in Nica-
ragua was satisfactorily settled. And
we suspect, that friendly statements
like the ome credited ‘above to the
minister from Honduras will not sbe
hailed with general satisfaction by
the European worshippers in the
United States who are not friends of
Latin-America but interested prinei-
cally in their own interests abroad.
The fact is that when our nelghbiots
to the south understand our motives
and purposes, and we understand
theirs, little difficulty will be exper-
ienced in promoting more friendly re-
lations. We ought by all means to be
friendly neighbors in fact as well as
in location.
international propagandists are not
permitted to spoil things by poisoning
the well of Pan-American concord.
Let us by all means cultivate more
friendly relations with Latin-America.
The Western Hemisphere on both
sides of the Equator has a real future,
and for social as well as commercial
reasons we ought to know more about
our neighbors to the south of us.

Summer Egg Production
Is Dependent Upon Care
You Give Laying Flock
Summer weather brings with it
many new problems in the manage-
ment of the laying flock. Unless the
birds are properly housed and fed, the
production begins to drop off quite
rapidly: in June.
Many laying houses are miserably
hot, stu places in summer, instead
of the coolest buildings on the farm.
Provision must be made for more ven-
tilation. Take out all of the windows
in the front of your houses and have
it so arranged that you can open the
other three sides. @ We must remem-
ber that the hen is more susceptible
to heat than the human body.
Free Flock of Parasites
June, July, and August seem to be
the ideal time for parasites to become
troublesome, unless steps were taken
earlier to keep the flock free of these
pests. The right way is to go after
them in the winter when they are eas-
ily combated and not wait until June.
If troubled with lice, dust the hens
with Sodium Fluoride or some good
louse powder. In hot weather a so-
lution may be made by dissolving one
ounce of Sodium Fluoride in a gallon
1 |-of water and dip the birds early in
ithe morning on a warm sunny day.
Painting the roosts with Black Leaf
40 just before the birds go to roost is
quite effective.
Mites may be combate by using a
~ | good coal tar product. One spraying
will generally rid the houses ¢f them.
Your hens will return to you in
eggs just what you put into them in
feed. Just because they are getting
outdoors is no good reason for their
going without Egg Mash. The range
is bound to be completely lacking in
certain of the egg building materials,
and only have a limited supply of
those that are available. Layers need
a good mash the year around.
It often becomes necessary to coax
the hens to eat mash freely in the hot
weather. Put the mash hoppers in
the coolest part of the house, and
scatter some hoppers at different
points on the range.
Feed a Wet Mash
If you find the hens’ appetites
slackening, feed a wet mash at noon.
Use your regular Egg Mash and
moisten it with water until crumbly.
Do not give the hens more than what
they will clean up in fifteen minutes
to a half hour. Any hash that is left
in the trough should be removed, as it
is likely to get sour by the next feed-
ing, and give the birds digestive
trouble.
During the summer months the
birds require a smaller amount of
scratch grains, as they need less heat
forming energy producing feed. Feed
eight pounds of scratch grains to one
hundred hens. They should eat about
twice as much mash as grain during
the months of July, August and Sep-
| tember.
Be sure that plenty of water is al-
ways available. A lack of water may
cause severe digestive troubles and
consequently interfere with produc-
tion. Besides, a large part of the
egg itself is water. It has been esti-
mated that water is worth $1.00 per
gallon for hens, and actually costs
nothing. Because of its cheapness
and the ease with which it may be had
we often neglect properly supplying
it for the hens.

“Through Highways” are being created
almost daily by Pennsylvania municipal-
ities, and the number will increase ma-
terially within a short time, now that the
Legislature has granted permission to
boroughs and townships to create such
thoroughfares.
“The Motor Code as effective June 1,
grants authority to boroughs, incorpor-
ated towns and townships of the first
class the privilege of creating ‘Through
Highways,’ and I anticipate that within
a comparatively short time every arte-
rial Pennsylvania highway will be a
“Through Highway’ as it passes through
built up sections covered by changes in
the code. Originally this authority was
conferred only upon the Secretary of
Highways and cities of the first, second
and third class. Creation of such high-
ways is quite as complete a traffic con-
trol at intersections as erection of auto-
matic signaling devices, and the penalty
for violating the provision is just as
severe,” said Motor Vehicle Commis-
sioner Eynon today.
“Since the 1927 Legislature first grant-
ed permission to establish ‘Through
Highways’ there has been a distinctly
noticeable improvement in the manner
in which motor car drivers enter or
cross all main streets and highways.
rule, and not the exception. It is just
another case in which a legal enactment
has brought about a condition which
motorists themselves might have created
had they observed the State laws and
rules of the road.”
Except at “Through Highway ” inter-
sections the right-of-way continues to
belong to the vehicle approaching from
the right, as has been the law for sever-
al years.
“The ‘Through Traffic’ clause of the
Motor Code provides,” continued Mr.
Eynon, “that the driver of a vehicle en-
tering a ‘Through Traffic’ highway shall
yield the right-of-way to all vehicles on
the through street or road, but the pro-
vision does not relieve operators on
‘Through Highways’ from the duty of
driving with due respect for the safety
of vehicles entering the thoroughfare,
nor does it protect the driver of a vehi-
cle on a ‘Through Highway’ from the
consequences of an arbitrary exercise of
such right-of-way.
“It should not be necessary for me to
say that the driver on the side street or
road need not stay there forever, as
some ‘Through Highway’ drivers seem
to think. He is entitled to entrance—
and when he takes such entrance, having
due regard for the proximity of other
cars, the law will protect him.”
