Unprecedented Road Program.
This is a lesson cities as well as
rural districts are learning. In the bu-
reau of public roads, United States de-
partment of agriculture, which admin
listers the federal aid road act, is cen
tered supervision of all highway con-
struction which federal funds help car
~ on. At the close of last year, prof.
ect statements had been approved call
ing for federal aid to the amount of
110,S40,7 73--a sum which indicates
how fully the nation is convinced that
better roads mean better business. The
total federal funds available to aid
the states in their road-bui,ding pro-
grams up to July l, 1920, will be $780,
f50,000-and this total is exceeded by
the combined expenditures Of state,
county, and municipalities.
Better Roads, Better Business.
The business considerations back of
these vast investments are not far to
seek. Better roads mean cheaper and
quicker hauling. 1t has been estimate
ed, for example, that on a level, muddy
earth road the amount which one horse
can draw in an ordinary wagon va.

Williams' report covered the year

when wartime prohibition became
effective, and ending June 80, 1890.
Thus 1t includes six months Of war

The report also showed that s5,-

ry, according to George r. Allen, re-
Gently returned from Seoul, Korea.
ut is no exaggeration to say" de-
clared Allen, that the Japanese in
Japan are wearing $10,00O,000 worth
of platinum jewelry. Among the
wealthy and fashionable people of
the mikado's empire, every form of
platinum jewelry is in demand The
Jewellers cannot begin to supply the
wants of their customers. Platinum
has come to be the fashionable foil
for diamonds and this is a combina-
tion of the highest priced gems and
the highest priced metal.
fBut price makes no difference to
the Japanese. This is a period in
Japan, as it is in this country of
high wages and big money and eve
rybody is indulging in an orgy of
buying. The higher the cost of any
thing the more desirable it is. The
war made millionaires over night
and gave the working classes more
money than they ever had before.
Since the war began to pour money
INTO Japan. the nation has become a
great diamond buyer. Before the war
it bought few diamonds.
Allen says Siberia is treasure
house of gold and platinum but it
will be years before its mineral
wealth can be exploited. He declares
the soviets destroyed three 100000
dredges used in the platinum mines
in the Ural mountains, once the
worlds S chief source of platinum sup
ply, and no work at all is being done
in these mines. The world is now
forced to depend for almost all its
platinum on the mines in Columbia,
South America.

There's no satisfaction equal to the

ordinary things can never take the
pride in his achievements men of

Struggle TO them is second nature.
They delight in hard things because
they are hard. And TO them come the

Mushogee, Okla, July 16.-It will
take more than the vote of church
board to put Parson ID. j. Jones, ne
gro, of the Antioch Baptist church
out of a job.
This was made certain last night
after the board members voted to
discharge the pastor. The argument
grew heated when the preacher re-
fused to put the motion. When a
number of members started for the
platform the parson reached for his
pocket and pulled out an automatic
pistol and told the members that he
was not going to leave and to keep
their distance.
With his gun drawn on the board
members the parson then stepped to
a telephone and called the police.
When the police arrived on the
scene the melee had almost turned
to a riot.
Two deacons and one Of the ell
ders were arrested and taken to the
police station where they were plac-
ed under bonds.
More than 40 negroes followed
their Christian brethren to the po-
lice headquarters.
The trouble started when a motion
was made to declare a vacancy in
the pastorate of the church. There
was not an immediate second to the
motion and the parson, who was pre-
siding, refused to give further con
sideration to the question and would
not allow a vote to be taken.
Then it was that Deacon Wood
ard stepped in and told the parson
that he did not think he was any
part of gentleman let alone being
a Christian.
A number of the members jumped
to their feet and Parson Jones
reached for his gun.
He told me that he would kill me
and pulled his gun" Deacon Wood
ard told the police.
