NEW BERWYN ROAD TO
BE ACCEPTED BY THE
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

How far is it to Berwyn, did
you say. stranger? Just thirty min
utes away, for that's the way we
measure distance since Carter coun-
ty started in building roads"
And it is fact, too, for the twelve
miles to Berwyn is now made over
the new highway. built by Commis-
sioner Young, in half-hour any
time.
This road is now nearly COM
pleted. 1t has been in use for a
month or more, and as soon as some
grading is completed near the Hig-
night school, il will be accepted by
the commissioners.
Work will then be begun on the
Chickasaw Lake road, making it II
feet wide. and surfacing it with
gravel all the way into the city
Other roads in this district will be
improved as rapidly as they can
be reached by the road builders
and before the summer the going
will be good nearly everywhere
The first direct benefit that has
been reaped by the people in that
section of the county is the prom
Use of the establishment of rural
free delivery mail route, something
that will prove OF inestirnable value
to everyone of the farmers.
And the good roads available to-
day do not stop at Berwyn, they
60 right along to the county line,
in fact, the distance to Sulphur
has now been cut down to two
hours, using the accepted method OF
measuring distances.
An immense road project is the
road to the oil fields and through
Hewitt, which is being built along
permanent lines with rock. 1t will
be several months before this can
be completed and ready for use, but
" hen it is done it will be a road
which will last and should stand the
strain of heavy travel. This is in
Commissioner Wilson's district.
The roads in Commissioner
Stephens district were among the
best in the county last year, and
with the cooperation of the peo-
pie of his district, who have taken
q great interest in their upkeep. ne
has been able to make a good rec
ord along this line this year.

JAPAN READY TO
HIT HUN IN RUSSIA
WILL INVADE SIBERIA IF
NECESSARY, REGARDLESS
OF ALLIES.

London, June l0.-Viscount Ta-
kaaki Kato, former Japanese for
eign minister, speaking as the lead
er of the opposition, in an interview
with the Toxic correspondent OF
The Daily Mail, said he personally
was not in favor of intervention in
Russia, although if actual danger
threatened Japan would intervene,
whether the allies agreed or not, but
until that time arrived Japan could
not rightly move.
If Japan sent troops to Siberia
they might never come in contact
with the Germans and the result
would be an enormous waste 'ot
money and effort, while it would
do the allies no good.
The viscount recalled that he was
foreign minister at the outbreak OF
the war and the reason for apan
joining in it was the alliance with
Great Britain. Japan, he said, had
no cause to quarrel with Germany.
He added
III the Germans come to eastern
Siberia or Manchuria the Japan pub
lie would Immediately demand coun-
ter measures. Whatever measures
Japan takes must have the support
of the public, and the support would
not be forthcoming, for proposal
not connected with the defense OF
Japan's vital interests
Lack of Impelling Motive"
In combating the view that
Japan ought to do more in the war,
Viscount Kato contended she had
already done her part nobly. That
she had not done more was due to
distance, the lack of an impelling
motive and limited finances.
"Japan's policy" he added,
should be continued alliance with
Great Britain and to cultivate the
friendship Of the United States as
far as possible. If these things
happen the isolation of Japan, which
| consider idle talk, is not possible
In any case, German Japanese al
lance is unthinkable.'
Viscount Kato declared his COM
plete confidence in the final victory
of the allies, but believed the end OF
the war was not in sight.

This inquirer lives in a western
county of Tennessee. His letter was
sent to the Division of Extension OF
the University of Tennessee, Knox
Vile, and he received this reply:
The idea Of growing corn, Irish
potatoes, and soy beans is good
one, unless It be as regarding the
Irish potatoes. Potatoes will not
likely be as valuable a crop as the
other two, tho ii they are handled
properly they will make a fair
yield. Potatoes should be ridged, as
ridging has proven more satisfactory
in the experiments conducted in
West Tennessee. If you put out an
early crop Of Irish potatoes, you can
follow that with some other crop,
such as soy beans, so It would not
seem advisable to put out too large
an acreage OF potatoes. There is now
a big crop Of old potatoes on hand.
and no certainty that the price OF
potatoes will be as high as other
crops during the coming year.

problems. Are you?
