When Senator Nelson was govern

was an Episcopal minister, DR.. Will
cox. "The Old Viking" was in the
habit of "cussing" whenever he felt
like it and the presence of the
churchman did not deter him in the
least. DR.. Wilcox talked to Gov.
Nelson frequently about the swear
ing habit, and tried to break him OF
it, but without success. One day
they were sitting in the governors
Office and when something in the
conversation aroused Gov. Nelson he
spoke his mind freely and inter-
spersed his discourse literally with
explosives.

Wilcox.

 craze each state would pay $7,OS3. .333 The era of good roads talk has a, last been succeeded by the era oi good roads construction. Public sen. timent is solidly behind extensive highway building programs now, says one of the Goodrich highway core. spondents, but the enthusiasm mus, not wane. The millions being spent will be spent in vain unless states un. dertake to repair roads as quickly as they build.
 While the amount available for ex. penditure this year seems stagperinv It will not be enough to make up for deferred war construction, for the war restriction brakes applied brought road building almost to a stop in many localities.
 Three great factors have been largely responsible for tlns year., amazing highway expenditures.
 First, the incentive Tor states to match federal aid appropriations; sec ond, the passage. of enormous bond is- sues for good roads in many states. {. third, the attention of the urgent need of good roads by the war.
 Reports from state highway com missioners to the Goodrich officials show some interesting individual features.
 Construction in Virginia during the next six years of 3,750 miles of high way at ai cost of more than s6O. .O0O.- 900 has been approved.
 In the New England States, Con- necticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island. Vermont and New Hampshire have been interested in closing up short gaps in their main highways, which are otherwise improved for the entire distance. The same condition has been true in New York, where numerous projects are being linked up with an extensive network of roads which are already hard surfaced.
 One of the features of this years work will be the completion of the Dixie Highway, which will be done by the states cooperating with each oth- CT and with the u. s. government, For instance, in Illinois the highway will be improved in many spots, one of which is over distance of 54.5 miles at cost of $904, zoo and the construction will be of concrete and bituminous macadam. At the same time Georgia will be working on the road from Atlanta through to Macon, a distance of 72 miles and continua- tion of the Dixie Highway in that state. In Tennessee and Kentucky projects are under way which will further serve to improve this famous old highway, which cuts through the central section of the country from north to south.
 Iowa is entitled to the palm for

consistent road construction. This state, which has more automobiles per capita than any other state in the Union, spent in the neighborhood of $15, 100000 during both 1917 and 1918, and is spending $20,498,53 this year. Iowa has an ideal road building pro- gram. When their state system is completed it will be not only the equivalent of trunk line system con- verging to the cities, but to trunk line clear across the state from east to west through every county, and north and south through every county as well. The Iowa plan will give each state the most notable road achieve ment of any state in the nation. Mo- Where else has a system been adopt ed that treats every county alike or that reaches every district impar- tially.
 Texas leads the nation in highway expenditures this year with S60,48O,- 900 available. Texas also led last year. Within her borders Texas has 126,000 miles of unimproved roads, as against 22,00 miles of improved high way.
 Iowa, California, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Minnesota rank next to Texas in expenditures for road build- ing in the order named. Thus it will be noted that in the agricultural states appropriations exceed those of other regions by many millions.

NOT WISE TO WIPE

PARIS, June 15.-(By the Associated Press) .-Suggestio reported recently to have been made in America that the United States should not require the repayment of the war advances made to Europe run counter to the views of the financial specialists on the Ameri- can peace commission.
 "The financial branch of the Ameri- can commission" said one of the spe- cialists, believes that any surrender of these advances would be bad for Europe, as it would encourage reliance on American taxpayers to pay the debts of Europe whereas the regeneration of Europe depends largely on the produc- tive ability and self-reliance of it's own peoples"
 It is stated in this connection that figures gathered on dhe relative tax alton, resulting from the war. show that France and Italy increased their tax ation about 5000 per cent, Great Brit ain about LOO per cent and the United States about 1000 per cent

PARIS, June 15.-(By the Associated Press). Germany is to be allowed an army of 100000 men for three years. This is one of the changes in the peace terms which has been sedulously kept secret.
 The reason given for this doubling of the previous number of effectives is the impossibility of adjusting the arm ies of Austria, Poland, Czech-Slovakia and other new states. proportionately to the previously arranged 100000 men for Germany A general reduction Of armaments IS to be negotiated imme- diately.

Germany will be given four months to submit to the allies proposals. dealing with her total in- debtedness. through reparation and methods for the payment thereof She may propose merchandise and labor. The allies are to reply within two months.
 A plebescite for upper Silesia will be taken within six to IS months.
 A clause deals with the protection by the league of nations of German mi norities inhabiting the districts taken from Germany. Another deals with the inter- allied civil commission, which will administer the left bank of the Rhine occupied by the allied troops, to which the existing military commission will be subordinated.

Mists robbed the night of the ad- vantages of the full moon and the wire less apparatus was torn away by the wind soon after the start. Sc the two young pioneers of the Atlantic flight without a stop, were thrown upon their own resources. The skilful navigation which brought the machine near to the center of the Irish coast line was one of the finest features of the flight.
 Describing the experiences of him self and Lieutenant Brown, Captain Alcock, in a message from Galway, Ireland, to the Daily Mail, says:
 We had a terrible journey. The wonder is that we are here at all. We scarcely saw the sun or moon or stars. For hours we saw none of them. The fog was very dense and at times we had to descend within 300 feet of the sea.
 Covered With Ice
 For four hours our machine was covered with a sheet of ice caused by frozen steel. At another time the fog was so dense that my speed indicator did not work for a few minutes, 1t was very alarming.
 We looped the loop, l believe and did very steep spiral. We did some very comic stunts, for I had no sense of horizon.
 "The winds were favorable all the way, northwest, and at times south west. We said in New Foundland that we would do the trip in 16 hours, but we never thought we should. An hour and half before we saw land, we had no certain idea where we were, but We believed we were at Galway or there abouts
 "Our delight in seeing Estalis, five miles west of Clifden, was great. The people did not know who we were and thought we were scouts looking for Alcock.

SUBSTITUTE FOR RUM

Coffee is regarded as a splendid
substitute for liquor, and now that
the nation is about to become dry,
coffee surely has an opportunity to
come into its own in the United States.
Possibly the recent and constant rises
in the price of coffee are due to a
knowledge on the part of coffee men
that the household beverage viii come
into far greater use as the dry wave
sweeps further and further into wet
territory.
Porto Rico, coffee producing
territory recently entered the dry
column, and now, according to San
Juan coffee dealer, so percent more
coffee is consumed in the island than
before Porto Rico went dry.
Coffee is one of the oldest Of drinks
commonly used. However Coffee
does not antedate wine. Coffee
berry native of Arabia, was first gen
ally used by the Mohammedans, follow
ing the forbiddanee by the Koran of
Mohammedan peoples to use intoxica-
ting liquors. From Turkey, the use of
coffee gradually spread westward
through Greece, and finally to England
and France. The fact that the Turks
adopted coffee as a beverage when they
long, long ago were denied intoxicants
gives emphasis to the stimulating quail
tiles of coffee, but, in the language Of a
critic, "Who wants to be a Mohamme

COVERING FRUIT WITH GOLD
Festival Custom in Southern India
Has Long Been Recognized Fea-
ture of Native Life.

One of the interesting uses to which
brass and gold leaf are applied in
southern India is for gliding lines,
the decorated fruit, according to a To-
cal custom, being exchanged by ma
tives on festival occasions in token
of esteem. The origin of this practice
is apparently unknown, but 1t dates
from a distant period and is a recog-
nized Feature of Indian life. The ex-
change of lines takes place on New
Years days, of which several are OBJ
served in India. Besides the English
anniversary observed by the natives,
the Mohammedans and the Tamil and
Telugu branches of the Hindus have
special New Years days. A native
calling on New Years day on a per-
son to whom he or she desires to
show esteem, presents the host with
lime. In the case of the well-to-do
the lime is always Ornamented with
brass or gold leaf. The custom some
times extends also to the ordinary
"tamash" or social reunion. Thus, a
good deal of brdss leaf is used for
gilded lines and the bazar trade In
this line throughout southern India
is really considerable. The leaf is
also used to some extent in the man.
