Some authorities have said that sugar
cane was introduced into Louisiana in

others give the date of the first plant

There is considerable agitation
going on for concrete country
roads. We think If the cost of
mud roads, interference of bad
weather with traffic, tear and wear
on auto tires and other expensive
hindrances were balanced against
tie cost of concrete roads for 30
years, the life of a concrete road
everything would be in favor Of
concrete. Main roads from town
to town could be made Is or 20
feet wide, aud side, or lateral
roads, but 10 feet wide with q
widening every quarter mile to
permit vehicles to pass each other
This would save much money and
would serve the purpose well on
less. travelled roads, and the farm
er could haul lis product every
day in the year.

SETTLING DOWN

A colonel of engineers, recently
discharged from the army, has re-
turned to his position with one of
the larg railroad companies. After
two months in multi he remarked,
'"The hardest job l ever had is trying
to settle down to business once more.
catch myself day-dreaming and
longing for. some of the excitement
of the last eighteen months"
The other day a doctor, formerly
captain in the medical depart
ment, who served sixteen months
with troops in the field, came into
Washington on business, "a trumpet
up excuse to get away
This doctor said: II have been
trying to practice medicine for the
last two months, but it Is driving me

to the long drawn out stores Of old

terday a well-to-do patient, a,man,
came to see me because he thought
he had 'fatigue-poisoning. After
examining him and finding nothing

minded me that | was not dealing
with a common soldier and went
away offended. l just had to frame
up this trip in order to get out from

If these officers, mature men, feel
this way, should we condemn the
soldier boys, many of whom had not
yet established themselves. before the
war, if they are little slow in
settling down?
Last week an employer who was
in a conference in Washington made
the statement that he wouldn't en-
ploy any more returned soldiers
they were lazy, dreamers, trainers of
excuses to stay away from work, and
altogether spoiled for business.
Mr.. Civilian, you, who didn't go
thru this great adventure of going
to war, must learn to understand
this peculiar psychology Of the re-
turned soldiers. Be patient with
them, subtly help them to find them
selves once more. This is your part
in the rehabilitation of the returned
soldiers-for the disabled soldier is
not the only one who needs rehabil-
tating.
We soldiers mus. likewise under
stand this peculiar mental attitude
which attacks us when we go back to
multi. 1t must be fought against
and overcome Opportunity . Is
knocking at the door Of every re-
turned soldier today. You made
good for your country and now in
dustry, the trades, business and the
professional fields are opening to
you two chances to make good to
every one chance you had before.
The hero-worship Of today will
soon be thing Of the past. Don't
bask in its sunshine too long, but
settle down and grasp these OPP
portunities.-Carry On.

greater part of Monday on the Aus

the members of the council believe that
the Austrian treaty may be completed

ALLIES PREPARED
TO GO into BERLIN
FAILURE OF GERMANS TO SIGN
PEACE TERMS WILL MEAN
OCCUPATION.
Take Treaty or Leave II, Is Position
Of Victors, Who Are Prepared to
March Into Hunland II Necessary
to Enforce a Just Peace.

London.-ShOuld the Germans refuse
to sign the peace treaty, which does
not seem probable, according to the
latest advices received here, they can
expect the allies to at once begin a
march upon Berlin. And there will be
many enthusiastic wearers of the uni
form who will be glad to complete the
journey they began before the collapse
Of the Hun fighting machine.
1t is declared that all military ar
rangements have been made for the
allied armies to advance in exactly the
same way as they would have done had
Germany not accepted the armistice
terms.
According to dispatch from Cob
LEM the impression gained by Ameri-
can officers through talking with Ger.
mans regarding the peace terms Is that
many of them are bitter and sullen,
but are inclined to resign themselves
to accept any terms, no matter how
harsh. No concrete plan Of action has
been suggested in the event the Ger
man delegates at Versailles refuse to
sign the treaty..
American officers say the common
people in the occupied area have wide
ly divergent views, but that as whole
they appear more or less stunned.
Many of them seem crushed, but 9TH
ers are showing spirit Of bravado.
One American who had circulated
freely among the civilians reported
that none of them expected that Ger
many would accept the terms. They
said they could not see how the people
would be able to pay the indemnity
demanded if their commerce was re-
stricted and all their colonies confis-
Gated, and, in addition, Germany had
to cede territory belonging to the main
land.
But there is one thing the Germans
can bank upon. They will either sign
the peace terms or face an invasion by
the allied forces, who will take charge
in Germany and force a just peace
should the Huns decline to accept the
terms offered.
