Farmers are business men and In

business men in the state they must
devise ways and means Of reducing
the expenses Of operation" said L. q.
Blrdsall In submitting resolution to

That is coed sound sense and com

that farmers are keenly alive 10 the

BUILDING OF BETTER ROADS
Highway EducstIcnal Work Extending
rs Scope IN Various Sections Of
the Country

The extent TO which the people of
the United States are committing
themselves to definite policy Of high
way development Is shown By reports
reaching the federal highway council
from all sections Of the country.
In the face Of high cost for both ms
terials and labor, and the fact that in
some states construction programs
must be altered somewhat to meet en-
listing labor and material conditions,
there is no tendency upon the part Of
the people to slow down IN their plans
to place the nations highways upon
higher plane IN the country's transport
tatIon system. Tersely stated, they
are sold to the heels" on the PROPOSE
ton to construct highways that Will
release rather than restrict traffic, and
they are Diminishing labor and material
problems with curt instructions to
their officlal servants that It i NJ %

A curious fact In connection with
construction problems at the present
moment is that the building Of roads Is
seriously hindered BY the same evil
which they are designed to remove
lack Of transportation. According to
authoritative Information. production
is halted to greater degree by made
quate transportation facilities than by
labor shortage. At least this Is true. II

He was not mistaken. He has

Amazing Story Of German Es-
piOnage During the War
Is Disclosed.
OESERTER MAKES CONFESSION
Former Officer Tells Of Being Sent
From Germany With Other Cadets
to Enlist In the United
States Army.

New York.-An amazing story Of
German espionage during the war
was disclosed when John Willet, for
mer captain in the Forty-eighth Uni-
ted States infantry, confessd he was
really Hans Willers, cadet in the
German army until 1914, when he was
sent to this country with 300 other
cadets to joint the American army and
become United States officers.
Willet admitted he had abscOnded
with $4,000 Of his cOmpany's funds at
Camp Sewer on November 20, 1918, a
few weeks after the armistice, and de-
serted.
1t was this offense and not any sus-
picion of his spy role which resulted
in his arrest here when Hugh J. Han
nlgan, formerly a first lieutenant in
the Forty-eighth, recognized the de-
Gerter ON the street and hailed a po-
liceman.
-- Hints at Treason In Washington.
"You would be surprised how many
high German officials held jobs In
Washington during the war, Willet
told Detective Sergeant OLeary. The
prisoner made this statement after he
had narrated how he came here and
what he would have done had his regi
ment been sent to France.
~ would have led my men tC
slaughter, and could have been use

ways" Willet declared, according tC

Augustus Caesarr proves 1t was ~one
during the famous emperor's lifetime,
votive offering to the gods by
loyal Tivoll citizen who signs himself
NJ. veranus Dliflns. The same man
gave the public weights and measures
to the city.
History let's us, date this statue be-
tween B. q, 81 and A. ID. IA, when
Emperor Augustus died near, Naples,
aged seventy-six. Experts say the face
is the face OF man Of fifty. In the
worn lines, the iiktempered mouth. It's
upward twist at the left side, we have
no fiattering picture Of the great
emperor, but a iifelike study by an
artist who dared to cut his statue as
ne saw the human model. For this
reason, and because Of its surely be-
ing done in Augustus lifetime, II is
very valuable addition to the col
lection of portraits Of the Roman
emperors. and probably the only one
extant of Augustus done during his
lifetime.
The figure, which originally sat on
the pedestal at the head of the hall,
is graceful, as Suetoius, that Cos
slpy historian from whom later
scribes have learned nearly all they
know about the Roman emperors,
told us, saying :.
Graceful Person.
HE was very graceful person
through all the stages of life. though
he was very careless In his dress and
would set several BARRIERS to work
upon his hair together. and would
sometimes clip and sometimes shave
his beard, and at the same time
would be reading or writing"
Augustus, though emperor, called
himself a democrat and, says Sue
tolus. always abhorred the title Of
lord as scandalous affront." He
tells us, too, that the emperor caught
cold easily and wore wooden under
wear In winter. with thick wool
toga."
This broken statue, with the base
on which Il stood. unearthed after 30
long bridges the gulf Of centuries and
brings one Of the greatest rulers the
world ever saw very near.
