More than $45,000,000 worth of mo tor trucks are about to be distributed by the secretary of agriculture through the bureau of public roads to the state highway departments. These trucks have been declared surplus by the war department and are being dis tributed to the states under the pro visions of section 7 of the post office appropriation bill. They must be used by the states on roads constructed in whole or in part by federal aid, foi which $200,000,000 in addition to the former appropriation was given to the states under the same bill. All that the states must do to acquire the use of these 20,000 trucks, which range in capacity from two to five tons, is tc pay the loading and freight charges. Of the 20,000 motor vehicles to be Arrny Motor Truok Carrying Supplies, acquired practically free by the states 11,000 are new and 9,000 are used, but all are declared to be in serviceable condition. The motors will be appor tioned to states oflly upon request of the state highway departments on the basis of the requests received from the respective states, and in accord ance with the apportionment provided In the federal aid law approved in 1916. The requirements of the laws are such that the bureau of public roads cannot distribute any trucks to counties or individuals. FARMERS FAVOR GOOD ROADS Recognized as Greatest Economic Need of Agricultual Communities In Eastern States. Good roads are the greatest eco nomic need for agricultural communi ties. This is the answer of 200 prom inent farmers of the state of Maine to questionnaires which asked them to summarize urgent necessities to bring their districts up to the desired eco nomic standard. The farmers who answered the ques tionnaires were selected as those best fitted to answer the questions, and tney were asked to furnish a digest of the situation In their respective com munities with reference to acreage, crops, farm improvements, civic and social conditions, etc. The definitions of the greatest needs covered a wide and interestine ranire The largest record of needs was srood roads, 85 emphasizing the urgent ne cessity of adequate highways. There were 45 who asked for more farm laborers, 44 for co-operative buying and selling, 35 for better school prlv ileges, 29 for more blueblooded stock 29 for manufacturing plants. 29 foi better marketing facilities, and 21 for greater credit extensions by banks. ROADS AS DIVIDEND PAYERS Where Good Roads Enable Fanner to Save One Hour Per Week He Makes Big Gain In Year. If a farmer saves an hour a weeli by being enabled to . use good roadi as opposed to bad roads, it wouM mean 52 hours a year; estimating th use of man and team as being wortt $6 a day, this means a saving of $31.2C a year. Suppose his farm is assessed al $10,000, and the additional tax levj due to the issue of road bonds by th county runs to $1 per thousand, which would mean $10 a year addition taxes as against a saving of $31.20 or time alone. This means that he is investing $10 and drawing dividends oi $31.20, an interest rate of 312 pel cent, TEXAS TO BUILD HIGHWAYS According to Member of State High way Commission Approximately $12,000,000 Available.

Most of the children have badly worn that they are practically useless. Their clothes are literally hang ing from their bodies in rags. SWISS ARE TIRED OF EXILED KINGS Poor in Funds and Spirit and Moodily Waiting for Some thing to Turn Up. UNO' SPECIALLY OBNOXIOUS Kaiser's Brother-in-Law Accepts Invi tations to Banquets and Then "Cuts" His Hosts Old Lud wig Saddest of All. Chiasso, Italo-Swiss Frontier. Switzerland is getting tired cf exiled kings. They seemingly cause a rise In food prices, already toned up to breaking point, and give a good deal of trouble in international relations owing to their craze for political in trigue. Their faithful friends plot to get them restored to their former thrones. Switzerland is now the favor ite resort of dethroned and crownless monarchs. Many of them, unhattnilv for Swiss hotelkeepers, are fortuneless as well. Ex-King Constantine of Greece, known to his foes as "Tino." has not been paying his bills with regularity of late. Since Kaiser Wilhelm, his brother-in-law, hastened into Holland, help from Germany fails to come. So hard up is "Tino" and his family, who live at the Hotel National, Lucerne, that he has had to borrow from former subjects, notably a courtier named Streit and the once fire-eating Thesto kis. The weekly bill is 2,400 francs ($480), a modest sum for even an ex sovereign, with a following of 00 peo ple, all told. But even this bill (the entire family and entourage are on regular board rates) is paid with great difficulty. Had to Cut Him Out. Then, "Tino" is no longer the little god of all those war profiteers who still flock to Switzerland from the ex central empires. They are tired of him. His way of accepting sumptu ous banquets and then cutting his hosts and hostesses of yesterday when another dinner-giver had arrived, has finally bored them and invitations are few and far between. No longer do his German, Austrian and Greek admirers , give balls for him, where lights were turned out at two in the morning, though the party did not break up till several hours la ter. The orgies of "red balls" and "pink balls" and even "black balls" (so-called just because the lights went out before the party broke up, and everybody wore black when the lights were on, and all the decorations were black) began to shock the decent health or pleasure-seekers at Saint Moritz, Lugane and other resorts, so that the Swiss police had to Intervene, and "Tino" was cut off from these lurid joys for the sake of public de cency. To crown all, the exchange is so bad for his dearest friends that they no longer have the money to spend on his amusement. And so he has tc walk up and down the shores at Lu cerne on foot, for he has not even a motor nowadays. Kaiser's Sister Sees No One. The rest of the family pass their time as best they can. His grand daughters and nieces, for the lack of a carriage or a car, go about on bicy cles. People turn round to look at them, not because they are exiled princesses, but because they happen to be very pretty Into the bargain, with fair hair and dazzling complex ions; and beauty is not an-ong the list of Swiss women's good qualities. "Tino's" wife, Sophia, Kaiser Wil helm' ister, goes nowhere and sees nobody. She is clothed in melancholy silence and takes her place at the head of the family table in the public dining room of the hotel with an ex pression of settled melancholy. They simply can't afford to dine in their rooms, because it would cost at least JOUItNAL, SYLVA. N. C. BULGARIAN TOWN shined In KustondeL n tvnii no shoes, while others have thm n 20 per cent more, and goodness only knows how long they will be able, to Pa-V the weekly bill as it now stands. "Tino's" one extravagance nowadavs consists of very strong cocktails. He quite recently asked Germany for a loan of 6,000,000 marks, but was curtly refused. Prince Nick and His Monocle. His brother. Prince Nicholas, walks. n good deal on the lake side, with a huge monocle in his right eye his one extravagance. The crown prince's cousin, known as the duke of Sparta, shares these melancholy walks. Prince Paul, his younger brother, kills time with a pretty little girl from Vienna; but as his whole income is $200 a month he cannot paint Lucerne red, and is content to listen to the public band, or to take coffee in a public gar den where popular prices prevail. None of the family is popular in the little city, however. The Swiss say they are rough and disagreeable. They certainly all look bored to death. Old King Ludwig. The ex-king of Bavaria has taken a home in Switzerland, too an old feudal manor, half convent, half fort ress at Zizers, in the canton of Gri sons, not far from Chur. Ludwig III, now seventy-four years old, looks the saddest and most de pressed of all the dethroned royalties now on Swiss soil. Karl, ex-emperor of Austria-Hungary is almost turbu lenOy gay in comparison with him, and even the "Tino" family look cheerful by his side. The old king is all alone. His son, Ruprecht, who till lately intrigued for the Polish throne, is supposed to be somewhere in Germany. He npends most of his time studying botany in the garden of his somber home, with an old Bavarian general, the one and only person of his suite who reads books about hunting to him when he Is tired of the garden. The prince of LIppe, who lives not far off, leads much the same kind of life. New Arrivals Daily. Every day new refugees of distinc tion arrive in Switzerland. TIrpitz is at Lausanne, to the disgust 6f the citizens, who declare they will turn him out. Hindenburg is expected at Locarno, where there is a beautiful lake and almost an Italian climate. At Clarens, amid mountains, lives the exiled Prince WIndisschgraetz, who, gossip says, has a secret mission MRS. MORTON F. PLANT Mrs. Morion F. Plant, an active Red Cross worker who wa married to Col. William Hayward, commander of the Fifteenth infantry, the famous negro regiment. ' -it that Is, to prevent the union of Aus tria with Germany. Berchtold and Andrassy are In Zu rich. But the list of exiled monarch, ministers, field marshals and notabili ties of yesterday now eating pension food in hotels of various grades and killing time as best they may on in comes which the average New Tor business man would pity is too long to go over in full. They all have the same characteristics. They are poor, shabby, look bored to death, older than their years, grouchy and dyspeptic. And they all keep as far away from one another as they can. Some Swiss recently remarked that it would be enough punishment for Kaiser Wilhelm to bring him to Switz erland and make him live ln close touch with these fallen Idols and he roes. They would give him such a bad time of it, blaming him for their fallen state, that he would clamor to be tried for his sins by the enemies within a week of his arrival among "friends and colleagues." and honored on both sides of the wa ter. The family of each dead hero will receive letters regularly from one small protege who during its whole lifetime will hold the name of their boy in reverence. The Clarlnda citizens have paid 1 qoo.ou iu cents a day for each child's support for a year, through the Fa therless Children of France, an Ameri can organization with headquarters at 410 South Michigan avenue, Chicago, co-operating with a similar one in France, of which Marshal Joffre is the head. The organization will see that the adoption of each child Is made in the name of and as a memorial to a dead soldier of Clarinda. The town plans to repeat this sum annually for each child until it is capable of caring for Itself. It has been demonstrated that 10 cents a day, to supplement the pension of the same amount which the French government, straining its resources, granted its war orphans at the time of the early disasters, will suffice to keep soul and body together in a little vic tim of the war and enable it to remain with its mother or other living rela tive instead of being placed in an in stitution. From the prayers of such a child the name of the brave American soldier who died for France and the world will never be absent. RICH, BUT DOESN'T KNOW IT Sailor's Farm in Texas Turns Into Oil Lake While He's Gone. Eastland, Tex. Somewhere on the Seven Seas Eli Perkins is by all oddi the richest man in the United State naval service. Knowledge of his big fortune has not yet come to him. Ills father has been trying to locate him, but what warship he is on has not been learned. When Perkins enlisted in the navy more than two years ago, he owned a farm of 80 acres north of here. The soil Is poor and has an intrinsic agri cultural value of perhaps $400. When Perkins entered the navy he left the farm in charge of his father, with full power to act ln all matters connected with it. With the first Indications of an oil boom the elder Perkins leased the 80 acres for 25 cents an acre, re taining for his son the usual one eighth royalty of any oil that might be produced. When the field began to develop one half of the one-eighth royalty was sold for $40,000 cash, which sum was deposited in a local bank to the credit of young Perkins. Now the big thing has happened. The Sinclair Gulf Oil company, which has a lease on the 80 acres, has brought ln the largest well upon the tract that there Is to be found in any of the central west Tex as fields. It is producing crude petrol eum at the rate of 10,000 barrels a day, each barrel valued at $2.25. The present income of the young man H about $1,500 a day, and with the bring ing in of other wells upon the farm It may be increased several times this sum. He could easily dispose of his royalty rights for $3,000,000. Bears Third Set of Twins in Third Successive Year Mrs. Annie Cholick, 24 years old, of Shamokin, became Penn sylvania's champion mother when the third set of twins In three years made their advent at the Shamokin State hospital. The first twins, two boys, were born in 1917, the second pair, a boy and a girl, ln 1918, and a few days ago two boys arrived, giving the woman a record of six children in three years.
