SMOKED MEAT
tastes better
and
Keeps better
If you have never used Figaro
for smoking meat you have never
tasted the sweetest, most delici
ous hams and bacon in the world.
Figaro is pure wood smoke-
condensed and put in bottles-
with burnt sugar added. It
smokes your meat just as thoro
ughly and just as perfectly as
any smoke-house fire. But what
• difference in time and work.
Figaro takes 20 to 30 minutes-
a smoke-house fire takes 20 to
30 days. And Figaro makes
youx; meat sweeter, more tasty
and more delicious. It absolute
ly keeps out skippers and keeps
meat from becoming strong or
rancid.

Washington.—Alanson B. Houghton,
of New York, now Ambassador to
Germany, has been definitely selected
by President Coolidge to succeed Am
bassador Kellogg at London.
Cablegrams have been exchanged
between Washington and Berlin and
Mr. Houghton has indicated a willing
ness to accept the post at the Court
of St. James, which will become va
cant when Mr. Kellogg assumes the
duties of Secretary of State.
Although Mr. Houghton's appoint
ment is assured, there is no indication
as to when his nomination will be sent
to the Senate. Mr. K logg still must
serve at the London post until he is
prepared to return for his new duties,
and his nomination as Secretary of
State also will have to be passed upon. I
The formal action in the case of Mr.
Kellogg may be delayed until after
March 4, In which case he would be
given a recess appointment pending
the assembling of the new Congress in
December.

Washington.—The wealth of the
United States at the end of December,
1922, on the best estimates available
of all property classified by the Cen
sus BurealK was placed at $320,803.-
862,000. The was an increase of 72 2
per cent for the decade, since in 1912
when tbe Census found the Nation's
wealth to be $186,299,664,000.
Many differences and necessarily
wide margin for estimates and error
in putting together its calculations,
the Bureau said, made its findings im
possible of the close application given
to its population estimates.
Tha item of greatest value in the
catergory of National wealth was real
estate and its improvements subject
to taxation, which were found t?) be
worth $155,908,625,000. The second
item in point of size was the grouped
valuation of the clothing, furniture,
vehicle and like property of individu
als. which totalled $39,816,001,000
Third on the list was the value of
manufactured products on hand and
in distribution, placed at $28,422,848.-
*000. while the next largest item was
$20,505,819,000 representing real prop
erty and its improvements listed by
the States as exempt from taxation.
The value of railroads and their
equipment as determined largely
from compilations of Interstate Com
merce Commission reports, was esti
mated at $19,950,800,000. The maclF
ihery, implements and tools of manu
facturing industry were found to be
worth $15,783,260,000. while the value
of public utility property, including
telegraph and telephone systems, elec
tric light and power systems, street
railways, canals and irregation enter
prises, was fixed at $15,414,447,000.

Building Far
Behind the
Automobile
Millions now recognize
the automobile as a ne- ~
cessity. It is no longer a
luxury for the few. Sixty
per cent of its use is for
business.
Because of this the mod
ern paved highway has
become an economic ne
cessity.
Yet although the mileage of
Concrete Roads and Streets has
been steadily increasing, our
highway system today !ags far
behind the automobile. The
great majority oi our highways
are as out of date as the single-
track, narrow gauge railway oi
fifty'years ago.
Such a condition not only seri
ously handicaps the progress of
the automobile as a comfortable,
profitable means of transporta-
tion, but also holds back com
mercial, industrial and agricul
tural advancement in practically
every section of the country. It is
costing taxpayers millions oi dol
lars annually.
Highway building should be
continued and enlarged upon.
Your highway authorities are
ready to carry on their share of
this great public work. But they
must have your support Tell
them you are ready to invest in
more and wider Concrete High
ways now. _
