Flint Refuse of Value.

A remarkable record of an impor- tant prehistoric industry is promised by the archaeological survey now being directed by Dr. W. T. Mills, in the Flint Ridge district, between ~Colum- bus and Zanesville, o. An outcrop of fiint-bearing limestone extends. for ten miles or more. and is entirely covered with pits dug by the ancient miners in search of workable flints. The waste fragments clipped from the flints in making arrowheads and other imple- ments form nearby deposits 15 feet deep in places, supplying material of modern value for road building.

\ CONFEDERATE VETERAN
J. c. Cooper of Little River County, Would Like to Locate Some
 COmEade.

J. G. Cooper, an old Confederate veteran, who lives near Cerro Gordo, would like to find some comrade So that he can make application for pen. sion. Maybe some old comrade will read this and let himself be known. MT. Cooper says:
 "I volunteered into the Confederate army December 15, 1862, at the age O, IT, Joined Company p Wells Batal- ion, General D. H. Cooper's Division, Indian Territory, now Oklahoma, ana served until the end of the war, 1865. My company was disbanded, not dis charged, in Southwest Indian terr:- tory. We were glad to be disbandeG and came home half starved and with very little clothing, houses dilapidated and all fencing gone. We began to repair our fences and plant crop Had no feed for our teams, but the grass. We made reasonable crop Of corr for the chance we had. am now 73 years old. I was born neas Rocky comfort on the 31st day or October, 1S45, in Sevier county, which is now Little (River county, and hay. lived here all my life. I have attend ed several general reunions at Dallas, New Orleans, Memphis, Louisville, and belonged to J. H. Morgan Camp at DeQueen Was .ppu.nted a dele gate from that camp to the Richmond reunion, but was so busy in my crop could not go. I have never askec for a pension, having always made my own living, but if there is a pen sion for an old rebel like me I would like to get it and would appreciate it very much. I don't know of a living comrade who served with me, all dead so far as I know. B. F. Love of Rich- mOnd, Ark, was my second lieuten- ant when the war ended. There arc several younger men in the county who know I was in the army, but they were not soldiers, so I don't know if their services would be worth any. thing or not as proof in my case"

Effect in Austria.

Vienna, March 24.-Asked what ef- feet the Hungarian events would have on the political situation in German Austria, Herr Deutsche, secretary of military affairs, said today that if the entente treats us as it treats Hun gary, no one can guarantee what will happen.
 People driven to despair will lose their self control,' Herr Deutch con- tinued. "The entente, by thought less decision, might lose the bulwark against bolishevism, which German Austria really constitutes if no harm is done the country economically and politically" A

The fact that several thousand sol diers were unable to understand the orders given them from their superiors and that many, many thousands could not sign their own names to their questionnaires brought to light con. dition so serious that two Southern Representatives at Washington are now introducing bills to promote the education of illiterates throughout the length and breadth of America. Sena- tor Hoke Smith, of Georgia, has intro duced bill in the Senate ito promote the education of illiterates, of persons unable to understand and use the Eng. fish language, and other resident per sons of foreign birth," and the same measure has been introduced in the House by Hon. William B. Bankhead. of Alabama.
 The introduction of this important bill means a great deal to the South, which, because of its negroes and mountain whites, has long borne a reputation for illiteracy out of propor- ton to that of the rest of the couu- try. Just what steps will be immedi- ately taken as the result of the passage of the education of illiterates bill at Washington cannot be stated at this time, but, certainly, practical meas. ures will be put into operation for the establishment of schools in both rural districts and cities.
 Other organizations besides that of the government are at work on the same problem-the establishment of schools in the heart of tenement dis tricts and rural communities being matter of first importance with all of them. One of the most significant movements of the times in this con. nection is that of the Centenary of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, because that denomination will expend within the next five years over $3,000,O0O among the uneducated classes in the Southern and Western States. The church is to raise fund of $35,000,000 in an eight-day drive in April, the financial campaign being a part of the Centenary Celebration of the denomination. Dhe money is be- ing raised with view to putting the work of the church on a business basis, the church considering its duty to the illiterates here in America to be among the matters of first importance which it should undertake. A survey has been made and the result of the campaign will be the apportionment of $3,000,0O0 among the various illiterate population as follows: Mountain pop ulation, $75O, ,0G0; immigrant, $900,000; negroes, $50O,000; Indians, $150.00O; cotton mill population, s15S.000; Chris tian literature for all of them, $100.000.
 With the definite step undertaken at Washington, with one denomination already completing it's plans for fur thering the work among them, and with other churches and organizations getting ready to join hands in their behalf, it is more than possible that the illiterates of the South are in a fair way to soon become educated citi. zens of the United States.

TREES FOR ROAD PROTECTION
Active Steps Taken by New York
Organizations for Development
of Planting Scheme.

CBy PROF r B. FAXON. State Coll
lege OF Forestry. Syracuse, N. "
Believing that the problem Of road
side planting should not be entirely set
aside during the moIement for great
err mileage of improved highways
active steps are now being taken
by the New York State Motor fedora
ton and the State College of Forestry
mt Syracuse for the development of a
planting scheme for the section of the
highway running from Syracuse to
Utica, distance of about 60 miles.
1t has been demonstrated by those
in charge of the work that aside from
the purely ornamental value Of trees
along the highway. many practical ben
Gifts would result from their proper
use. 1t is not generally realized that
trees, by means of their shade during
the summer months, prolong the life Of
the roadway for MANY years, and road
experts in general are heartily In IA
Sor of this means for road protection.

Automobiles il csrAda.

$40 in 1917. 1t IS estimated that the
number of cars In Use at the close of
the present year Will be approximately
100000. With an estimated population
Of 100000 this gives a proportion Of
one car for every thirty-two inhabi-
tants, ms against one for every 11S in
habita9ts four years ago. Statistics
have been compiled showing the occu-

country, and from this it is apparent
that about 90 per cent of all the cars
In use are owned by persons whose
occupations are such that the automo-
bile in their hands s utility enabling
