Charles S. Hubert

Charles S. Hubert born May Goth,
1877, at Delton, Wis. died June End,
1921.
Charles Affections date back to
when he was only Is years old. During
all these many years he was constant
ly planning that he would get relief
and be restored to his usual good
health, and to this end he has had the
advice and treatment OF over one
hundred doctors. He was at Fort
Wayne, Ind, six months under the
care of specialists, at Chicago two
different times six months each in the
leading hospitals. Here the doctors ad-
vised him going to the mountains,
and as advised he went to Oregon and
remained there seven months under
treatment, returning to his home with
out receiving any noticeable relief.
Not being discouraged he then went
to Milwaukee for five months in one
of the leading hospitals, then to Por-
tage four months more under medi-
cal treatment, finally in despair he
returned to his home in Delton, and
there remained with his parents until
death claimed him While Charlie was
deprived of enjoyment and comforts
that arc Usually allotte1 IT, young
people he never complained Of the un-
pleasant part woven into his life. He
realized this was unavoidable and
became reconciled to his fate. What
his silent prayers were he and God
understands; he was patient until the
last. The one who wrote the hymn en-
titled "Some Day We Will Under
stand" had in mind no doubt the af-
f,ictions that Charlie, as well as many
others, have lad to end ire. For 2
number of years Charlie has had the
benefit of the Christian Science

BRITISH WILL PAY l US. WAR DEBTS
Arrangements Are Made Whereby Is- land Empire Is to Pay Fifty Million Pounds Each Year as Interest
 on Great Lean.

London, Nov. 9.--An arrangement has been made to begin paying the interest on the debt owed by Great Britain to, the United States at the rate of 50,00O,000 pounds yearly, it was announced in the House of Com mons today by Sir Robert Horne, the chancellor fthe exchequer.
 The United States treasury is as yet without advices from Great Brit ain as to what governments inten- tion to begin the payment of interest upon it's debt to the United States, officials said today.
 However, officials said, it was prob- able that Great Britain was preparing to begin interest payments under the tentative understanding by which the interest on the debt was deferred for three-year period ending next April. As the British fiscal year ends in March, officials explained, and that government is now preparing it's bud get for the coming year, arrange ments may have been made to begin the payment of interest next spring.
 The British debt now stands ai approximately equivalent to about 50,000 ,000 pounds, figured at an ex- change rate of about sz, the pound now being quoted at S3.94. There is, however, accumulated interest which would amount to about s600 ,000 GOO on November IS. which would have to Dc taken into consideration by the British.

AID WILL
 HELP UNEMPLOYED
National Movement in Road Building Big Boon to Jobless-Polk County Should Benefit Thru Allotment
 for Forest Roads.

Washington, Nov. 10-The federal highway bill, signed by the president today, is pronounced by good roads advocates the most advanced step the government has taken in estab- fishing a national policy for the de- highways to reduce the cost of transportation turnout the country The bill was passed upon the rec ommendation of the president Many bills were introduced, and the com- mittees of Congress that considered the proposed legislation held hearings at which representatives of chambers of commerce, farm organizations, automobile associations and kindred bodies appeared and submitted recom- mendations.
 The new act makes available 75 million dollars for federal aid for road construction in the various states.
 Twenty-Five million is to be avail able for distribution among the states as Federal aid in road con- struction when the bill becomes law and $50,000,000 six months later. Tn addition, $5,000,000 is to be lmme- diately available for national forest roads and $10,000,000 more on July 1, 1922.
 Apportionment of the fund to the states is almost the same as in pre- vious acts, the fur being divided into three parts, one part apportioned ac- cording to poulation, -one according to area, and one according to mileage of rural and star mail routes. A new feature provided by the act that be- came law today is a stipulation that no state shall receive less than one half of l per cent of the total fund, which amounts to $365,625.
 In the new act an important change is made in the manner in which a state may use it's allotment Each state must select connected road system net exceeding per cent of it's road mileage for improvement with federal aid. This system will be divided into two classes, one to be known as interstate highways and the other as inter-county highways. The interstate highways must not exceed three-sevenths of the system selected, and on them not more than SO per cent of the states allotment can be spent without the approval of the secretary of agriculture and the state highway department.
 Must Be 20-Foot Highways.
 The inter-county highways, which consist of the remainder of the sys- tenn selected, will receive the remain der of the states allotment. Accord ing to the act, all highways in the in- terstate system must have a surfaced width of at least twenty feet, unless narrower width is deemed permis- sible by the secretary of agriculture.
 In case a federal aid highway is not properly maintained by a state, the state will be given ninety days notice by the department; at the end of that time, if the highway is not in good condition, the federal government will do the work, pay for it out of the states allotment and refuse to ap- prove any new projects until reim- bursed by the state.
