With ELIHU ROOT
ON LEAGUE PLANS
(By Associated Press J

Marion, o., Dec. 13-President.elect
Harding conferred with Elihu Root
former secretory of state and con
fierce with European statesmen on the
formation of a worlds court under the
league. In the meeting of minds to-
day 1t was understood that the chief
topic discussed was how the present
league might be made acceptable to
the United States
Root is again mentioned for the
cabinet position Of secretary of state.
Herbert Hoover was a visitor at the
Harding home Sunday. He was one
Lof the very first to be summoned by
the president elect in his effort to
secure consensus of opinion on the
position which this country should
take on the league of nations. Hoov-
er is an ardent advocate of the league
with reservations. 1t is understood
that he gave Harding lot of valua-
BILE first hand information. He was
one of the advisors of the American
peace delegation at Versailles, and
understands the attitude Of American
statesmen and the difficulties which
had to be met in the formation of the

IMMENSE DEFICIT
in POSTAL SERVICE
LAST FISCAL YEAR

Washington, Dec. Evaporation of
the postal service for the last fiscal
year developed deficit of $17,27O,.
4S2, the second largest in the history
of the post Office service, as shown by
the annual report of Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson. He charges congress
with direct responsibility for this
huge deficit, large part of the deficit
being for bonuses paid to postal en-
ployes under the war bonus act. He
points out that if prompt halt is
not made there will be dificit of
$26,OOO,OOO next year, and the postal
service will cease to be self-support.
ing and become constantly increas-
ing burden upon the people. The de.
cision of the interstate commerce
commission to increase the pay of
railroads for carrying the mails will
increase the balance on the wrong
side, he also points out.
Burleson takes occasion to admin.
lister severe rap to postal EN-.
ployee's organizations, which, he ad.
vises, should be curbed before the ser.
vice is demoralized.

ROAD BOND ELECTION TOMORROW OF
GREAT IMPORTANCE TO POLK COUNTY
Opportunity to Get State Aid for Long Stretch Of Needed Highway
Issue Of $4,000 Will Enable County to Connect Up and
Greatly Improve Its Road System

An election Of great Importance 10
the people Of Lakeland will be held
tomorrow, and, owing to indifference
or lack Of information, there is dan.
ger that a splendid project which
means much to the prosperity of this
community may be lost. An oppor-
UNITY is offered to secure the COOP
Grafton OF the State Road department
IN getting a direct road from this city
10 the Lake county line. The state
stands ready to spend dollar for dol
lar with us on this road, and this
assistance hinges on the carrying of
tEe district bond issue tomorrow
The proposed issue is for the sum
OF 100000, very small amount when
the resources of the district and the
advantages to be gained are taken in
to consideration. The road construc-
tion contemplated Is as follows:
Widening the road from Lakeland to
Foxtown from nine feet to fifteen feet
and completing the asphalt on the
whole road to width of fifteen feet
Completing the road from the Lake
land-Foxtown road Cat point known
as the Adams Grove) to Socrum. This
road was to have been built by for
mer bond issue, but it was necessary
to leave it unfinished.
Constructing the connection be-
tween Florida avenue and the Lake
Hollingsworth drive, a small piece of
read that is quite important.

Permitted to Return With Royal
Family.
(By Associated Press.)

Luzern, Switzerland, Dec. 13.-For-
mer King Constantine today declared
that ne would not abdicate the throne.
Preparations for his departure are
going forward rapidly. The royal
baggage, consisting of 200 trunks,

Members Of Constantine's house,
hold are bewildered at the refusal Of
the Greeks to permit the return of
Professor Georgios STREET and M.
Papparagopoulo, advisers Of Constan-
tine. They are wondering what other
followers will be exiled.
The king and his wife are expected
to take a leading part in all Greek re-
forms. 1t is indicated that the Greeks
may attempt to float a loan in the
United States.
The Russian soviet government has
taken hand in the Greek situation
BY sending a strong letter Of protest
