SOLDIER STILL UNBUURIED.
Statesville Father Will Allow None to
Inter His Dead Son.

There is a nation wide interest IN
the unusual announcement that an
Iredell county man, John Speaks, has
refused to accept $4,000 insurance
which the government has offered and
is ready to pay on the life of his son.
Thomas Speaks, who was killed in
overseas service during the world
war.
Another popularity about this citi-
zen is that he refuses to bury the body
of his boy. The remains of Thomas
Speaks arrived in Statesville, N. c.,
In August, 1921, and were Immediate
" taken to the home of his parents,
near Jennings postofice, about %
miles north of Statesville. In Sep
tember following, the writer made a
special visit-to the Speaks home and
found the casket of the dead soldier
boy resting on two chairs in the best
room in the house.
Mr.. Speaks stated that he, did not
want to bury his boy and would not
do so unless he was forced to do so by
law, adding that he meant to build a
little house nearby in which to keep
the body until his own death and
then he wanted the remains Of his
boy to be placed beside his own. Lat
est reports indicate that the young
soldiers body still rests undisturbed
in the home OF his parents, eight
months after its arrival.
Another popularity about Mr..
Speaks is that while he reads his
Bible regularly and claims to be deep
ly religious, still he is at variance
with the churches and will not attend
a church or Sunday school and will
not permit member of his family to
attend public religious services of any
kind.
Local authorities would have fore
ed Speaks to bury the body Of his son
if it had been shown to be insanitary,
but the remains have been reduced to
a skeleton and the county health Of
ficials could not say that it was dan
gerous to the health of the family,
and therefore were powerless to en-
force burial.

Wheat is practically dormant as n

In the eastern half and some of the

plenty of moisture in the ground.
From Dodge City south and west it is
barely coming up and the ground
much too dry. High northwest winds
that accompanied the cold wave on
Monday afternoon and night were
detrimental to wheat, which had no

BACK in POLITICS
Woodrow Wilson Retires From
Law Firm in Washington.
Devote More Time to COnsidera-
ton of Public Affairs.

Washington. Dec Is - Woodrow
wilson's retirement from the law firm
of Wilson & Colby may be taken as
indication of the former presidents
increased interest and activities in
political and public affairs. il was said
here today by close friends of Mr. Will
son.
At the Wilson home in street to-
day, it was stated there was nothing
to be said" concerning Mr.. Wilson's
retirement from law practice with his
former secretary of state.
Mr. Wilson has been silent partner
in the law firm since it was organized
soon after his retirement from the
White House His work has been
largely that of a quiet counsellor.
while former Secretary of State Colby
has conducted the active affairs of
the firm.
With the rapid improvement of the
former presidents physical condition
and his re-awakened interest in the
political situation since the Demo-
cratic gains OF the November election,
Mr.. Wilson now desires, according to
his friends. to devote more time to
considlerat ton of public affairs.

Chicago, Dec. ia lisp from the
lips of a baby is cute, but a lisp from
the lips of a stage star is tragic.
At least that is the. contention of
Clara Mackin, erstwhile star of Leo
Ditrichstein's "A Matinee Hero" And
what's more, it's tragic for $4,000
worth.
This interesting information-and
more-is contained in the complaint
of Miss Mackin's suit against DR.. Eu-
gene Vigneron, local dentist, for $780,
600.
The. stage star charges that the
carelessness of the dentist ruined her

decided lisp, and in consequence has
lost her place with the Ditrichstein
productions.
The complaint also charges that
Miss Mackin spent years abroad study
ing to develop the voice to it's fullest
powers and that the vocal injury has
nullified her efforts.
Her charges are verified to a GER
tain extent by Ditrichstein who, in
an affidavit, deposes and says that
he was forced to dispense with the
services of Miss Mackin because of the
sudden impeachment in her speech
Dr. Vigneron denies that he is in

CRISIS IN ROAD BUILDING
Secretary of IA. A. o. Association Ad-
dresses Members of Coop. Club.

kansas today faces a crisis in its
state highway system and in its privi-
Iege to participate in federal land aid, -
E J. Heckle, secretary of Kansas
Automobile Owners association, said
Tuesday night in a talk before the To-
peka Cooperative club. According
to the present auto license system, the
average owner pays So for his Ii
cense- OF this amount so cents goes
to the automobile department in the
secretary of states office, $3.50 goes
to the township road fund, $3.50 goes
to the county road fund and the re-
mainder goes to the state highway
fund"
a plan by which all property tax in
the building of new roads would be
done away with is being advocated by
the Auto Owners association Ac-
cording to the proposed plan, con-
stitutional amendment providing for a
500. 100000 bond issue would be
adopted. The first issue would be
one of S1O,OOO,OOO and the bonds
600 year. At no time would the out
standing debt on the bonds exceed
$3O.OOO.0o0. Five per cent interest
would be paid on the bonds. The
entire issue would be retired in twen6y
years. It is said that by this plan the
building of the necessary new hard
surface or improved roads could so
forward much more rapidly.
The BOND issue plan mas Deen
adopted by nineteen states and in none
of these states has it been repealed
Instead. the people demand more bond
issues for road improvements Mr..
Heckle said.
In speaking of the federal aid sys-
tenn, Mr. Heckle said that the money
is appOrtioned to the states according
to their area. rural mileage and popu-
lat-on. Because of Kansas large
population and rural mileage the led
eral aid pays 81 for every 81 that is
used in road construction in this state.
There is one car in Kansas for every
five and one-half persons, Mr.. Heckle
said. In the last seven years Kansas
has spent $7O,000,0O0 for road i'm
provements.
Mr.. Heckle expressed the hope that
the new bond issue plan would be
adopted by the next Legislature
