And the Roads Are
The Limit as Well

Outside the town there is sign,
"Speed limit Is miles," it reads,
And if one drives at more than nine
One very readily comedies
The limit is just as it states;
The road is SO cut up and bad,
If any one accelerates
The bumps will almost drive him mad.
And after one has driven through,
Beyond the town, little ways,
Another sign comes into view
And THANK you"-that is all it says.
The meaning is, the people there
Give thanks because one didn't wait
And start to raise a row and swear
At finding roads in such a state.

The Congressional report of 1914
placed the economic loss to the United
States through poor roads at an an
nual figure of S504,000,0OO for transport
tation costs alone. The heavy increase
in tonnage since that time probably
makes the loss to-day close to S1,000,-
100000 year.

ARE 3 CANDIDATES
They Want To Be President of
the German Republic.
Scheidemann, Haase and Lieb-
knecht Are the Men.

Berlin. Dec. 31.-Candidacy for the
first president of the German republic
appeared today to be limited to three
men-Philipp Scheidemann' Hugo
Haase and Karl Liebknecht.
According to the general opinion,
these men will represent the three
dominant political parties at the polls.
Scheidemann seems to be the choice
of the majority Socialists; Haase, of
the Independent Socialists. and Lieb-
knecht of the Spartacides. 1t is re-
garded as barely possible that Chan
cellor Ebert may replace Scheide-
mann, but this.-does not seem likely.
The German delegates to the peace
conference probably will be Count
rockdorff-Rantzau. Count Bern
storff, and DIR. w. S. Solf. The form
er is expected to act as chairman at
the initial meeting, after which one
of the other two would head the dele
cation. 1t is impossible at this time
to make any authoritative predictions
regarding the peace representatives.
owing to the chaotic political situa-
ton. But the above is the concensus
of well posted persons.

board in its annual report, submitted
to congress. Modification of the fed
eral farm loan act SO as to make the

stock land banks was 6 per cent.
interesting information as to the ap-
plications by borrowers of loans from
the banks was given in a detailed
statement, dealing with about one
third of all the loans closed by the
banks. This statement showed that s
per cent of the proceeds of the loans
'. ere used to buy land; 10 per cent for
buildings and improvements; 60 per
cent to pay off existing mortgages; 10
per cent for payment of other debts;
8 per cent for. purchase of bank stock;
4 per cent for purchase of live stock:
