Congressman Carl Hayden
 has introduced a bill in Con
 greSs to provide for nation al aid to the. several states
 in the construction and main
 tenance of rural post roads
 (H. R. 7614) that has more than ordinary merit in it, and if his fellow Congressman are at all inclined to do some thing that will help the peo- pie in the rural districts they will lose no time in enacting this bill into a law. It is full of good hard common sense, and why such a measure has not long since been enacted seems rather strange to say the least.
 The bill provides for the
 propriation of 5,OO0,OOO by the government, to be pro- rated among the various states according to the fol- lowing provisions; One third thereof according to the number of Senators and Representatives to which each state, respectively is en- titled in the Congress of the United States, one-third in the ratio which the area of each state bears to the total area of the United States, and the remaining one-third in the ratio which the mile age of star routes and rural free delivery routes of each state shall bear to the total of star routes and rural delivery routes of the United States, as shown by the records of the Post Of- flee Department for the first day of July preceding such 
 In order for any state to take advantage of the law it must first have a state high way engineer, or other such officer having authority to supervise and direct the con- Struction of such road work; the state must also agree to maintain the road after it shall have been built; and be- fore any government money is expended the Secretary of Agriculture must be satisfied as to it's feasibility and nec- essity, and being convinced

Of the Beauvoir Soldiers Home
fifteen years ago Of serving egg
nog and other Christmas drinks to
the veterans will be broken 2or
the first time this Christmas, ac-
cording to Superintendent Einathan
Tart No veteran at Beauvoir will

Christmas unless he goes away
from the institution and drinks it,
The use of whiskey was prohibited
by the board of trustees Of Beau
yoir in April and no liquor has been
permitted in the institution since,
not even in the hospital. Beauvoir
was the second institution in Mis-
sissippi to start the new practice OF
prohibiting the use of whiskey to
inmates, the first step being taken
at the convict hospitals one year
ago. The liquor bill at iBeauvoir
until prohibited by the trustees
amounted to $50 or more nearly ev-
cry month. Grape juice punch may

BRYAN LAUDS WILSON
FOR HIS PEACE NOTE
Movement Started Likely to Stop the
War, He Says.


washington Dec. 2s. President
Wilson has received a telegram from
former Secretary Bryan, congratulate
ing him on his note to the belliger
snts. The message said:
~You have rendered an Invaluable
service to a war-stricken world in ask
ling the belligerent nations tofset forth
in specific terms the concessions and
assurances which they deem neces1
sary to the establishment Of a lasting
peace. 1t would be a reflection upon
the nations at war to doubt that they
know the ends for which they are
fighting. or TO assume that they have
any purposes which they are unwill
ing to reveal
"a definite statement by beth sides
40 matter how far these statements
may be apart will clear the air. and
afford basis for negotiations, and
when negotiations begin they are no
llikely to terminate until an agreement
lis reached, because neither side viii
consent to assume responsibility fol
continuing the unspeakable horrors 0
this conflict"
