This convention .will be tip second held north of the Mason and Dixon , line since the formation of the association before the Civil War, the an; nual meeting in. 1914 > having been hgld in New York. The congress has % taken a strong position, .in, favor of linking the hard surfaced, highways of the country with the. navigable streams, water fronts and railway systems of, the continent. Still further action in this work is expected to be taken at th:s mooting. The organisation was one of the chief supporters of that part of the fteat Office appropriation bill which provided for the use of trucks in Parcel Post work. Clarence J. Owqne, president of the congress, saA4>.that this has resulted in a saving. to the consumer of 43 1-2 per cent and resulted in the handling of many kinds of perishable products ' which would otherwise have deteriorated and been of no value. The 60,000 rural route man of the nationi he said, daily travel 1,100,000 miles of highways. This is 60 per cent of the mileage of the highways ^ of the United States and the placing ^ of ; a one-ton track in the hands of each of these, provided the roads are hardu surfaced, will transport twothirds of the food supply of America, ha declared. To the congress also is due. credit, Drv Owens said, for the incorpora tion into the appropriation bill that section which provided for the distribution of equipment of an approximate value qf $300,000,000 to the forty-eight states by the war department to be used in highway construction. This equipment consisted of trucks and other war materials which could hq used in road work.

"They piqk up the game much more quickly than Eng- p lishmen," he continued. "The stories that they train for weeks before a match are somewhat exaggerated, but they certainly practice putting t for halfhourt at a time, and it is at ^ putting they beat us." ... jj Herd does not think much of the c American caddies. He says they are c useless. "They never clean your ball t or your clubs," he says, "and the lat- ^ ter have to be dealt with on a clean- f ing machine in the professional room.

Dr. Amedeo is Argentina's genen irector of public instruction in agr ulture, professor of rural economy i he Universities of Buenos Aires an a Plata, and director of the Muse ccial Argentino, under the auspic? f- which the late Theodore Rooseve islted Argentina. He reeumes hi uties as Argentine delegate to th nternational Agricultural Institut t Rome next month, after spending hort time in Prance. In spite of his fears for the ecc omic position of Germany in th ear future, Dr. Amadecr voiced th tmost praise for the industry mv revailing.

An economic collapse of German} r. Amudeo was convinced, woul lean heavy losses for all countrie f North and South America.
