A coAsT-ro-coAsT HIGHWAY.

The plan to make a transcontinental
highway. with the old National road
for a nucleus. has been embodied in a
bill presented in congress by Repre-
sentative Borland OF Missouri. Il will
find enthusiastic support in every
state in the union The benefits to
those states which the road actually
crosses will be great. direct and con-
tinuous and even to those most dis
tant from il the highway will render
great indirect service.
The old National road. stretching
from Cumberland to Richmond. Ind.
was the most ambitious attempt at
road building ever made in America
Before the coming OF railroads to
every section OF the country IL was
the main artery OF overland commerce
and men yet living can remember
when it was thronged with traffic day
and night between the more important
points.
The railroad took away its useful
ness as means OF duspoi edNiOn ot-
tween distant points. but with the
wonderful development and greater
density OF population in every part of
the country our need for good roads
is greater today than ever before.
Every good road pays for itself
many times over. and the estimated
cost of this coast TO coast highway.
s2O,5OO .0GU. would be only a fractional
part OF the actual financial benefits
& would confer. Resides this II
would be an achievement OF which
the entire nation would be justly
proud. and would be an inspiration 10
states and communities that would
result in such an era OF road build
ing that we might reasonably expect
economic conditions in many sections
To he radically altered.

farmers today than we had ten years
ago. while the demand for farm pro-
duce has wonderfully increased. n
We could draw 10 the state some OF
the sturdy Polish. Swede or Italian
farmers and locate them in our fertile
valleys the benefit would be enormous.
The p. & o. railroad is probably the
largest individual taxpayer in West
Virginia. As a tax payer il is willing
TO bear its share of the burden, and
lis suggestion merits most careful
consideration.

ginia song will not be forgotten As
originally drafted. the offer OF the
commission OF prize OF $500 for the
best West Virginia song was open 10
any writer OF composer in the world,
but in view OF the fact that West vir-
ginia sentiment is so strongly against
such a proceeding this action may be
reconsidered.
There is no intention TO reflect in
any manner upon the members OF the
commission. whose sole object. no
doubt. was to get the best possible
West Virginia song To admit the
outside world. however. would exclude
West Virginians. for the $500 offer is
large enough 10 induce men OF ma
tional reputation TO compete. West
Virginia has men and women who can
write excellent poetry and excellent
music. but they could hardly hope TO
compete successfully with the great
specialists in these particular lines.
particularly IL the weight OF the ou;.
siders' regulations were added to an
excellent production
What the people of West Virginia
want on this occasion is a typical
West Virginia song. and II is very
doubtful IL a man who is not and has
never been a resident Of West Vir-
Ginia. who has never even seen the
state and whose ideas about us are
necessarily more or less hazy could
write n real West Virginia song. no
matter how great his talent

ENDS MISERY
In STOMACH
NO INDIGESTION, GAS OR SOUR.
NESS AFTER TAKING "PAPE's
piAPEPstN."

II what you just ate is souring on
your stomach or lies like a lump OF
lead. refusing TO digest. or you belch
gas and eructate sour. undigested
food. or have a feeling OF dizziness.
fullness. nausea. bad taste
In mouth and stomach headache-this
IL indigestion.
A full case OF Pape's Dfapepsin
costs only fifty cents and will thor.
oughly cure your out-of-order stom-
ach and leave sufficient about the
house in case some one else in the
family may suffer from stomach
trouble or indigestion.
Ask your pharmacist to show You
the formula plainly printed on these
nfty-cent cases. then you will under
stand why dyspeptic trouble OF all
kinds must go. and why they usually
relieve sour. out-of-order stomachs
or indigestion In five minutes. Dia.
pepsin is harmless and tastes like
candy. though each dose contains
power sufficient to digest and prepare
for assimilation into the blood all the
food you eat: besides. Il makes YOU
go to the table with a healthy appe-
tite: but. what will please you most.
is that you will feel that your stom-
ach and intestines are clean and
fresh. and you will not need to re
sort to laxatives or liver pills for Bit
iousness or constipation.
This city will have many Diapepsin
cranks. as some people will call them.
but you will be cranky about this
splendid stomach preparation. too. 4;
you ever try a little for indigestion
or gastritis or any other stomach
misery.
Get some now. this minute. and for.
ever rid yourself OF stomach trouble
and indigestion.-Adv.

The state would also be able t.
prove by Mrs. Anderson that Ander

her father Joseph L. Wread, which
he is now accused of having muir

FRENCH LIKE U. S. TOBACCO.

Paris, July 2--The taste of French
smokers for tobacco grown in the
United States has increased remark
ably during the last twelve months.
Seven times as much tobacco entered
France from the United States In
January and February, 1918, as was
brought in during the corresponding
months Of the previous year. The
importations Of January and Febr'
ary, 1873, amounted to 100000 in
value. French buyers of tobacco are
now kept in America the whole year
round.
Last year the French government
received a net revenue of more than
S1O5 100000 from the monopoly ii
