And he tells us that he is going to do that very i But he says that Jim is aii right and | he put a little of his coin in Jim's jbank while he was here. Max says jthat he and Jim talk pretty rough to leach other sometimes, but it is all in ja joke, though some people might i think they were mad. He says that he learned to joke and talk to Jim that way when Jim wae poor and lived up near him. "Jim," Max says, "is rich now." CONFERENCE ON GOOD ROADS IN COLUMBIA Columbia, Jan. 14.?Special: A conference of good roads advocates will be held in Columbia shortly with t members of the General Assembly for the purpose of exchanging ideas ?/ as to what the State needs in the shape of methods for improving the l? highways; both arterial and county % latteral roads, according to a state.& ment of Senator Christensen, of yt i Beaufort, president of the South ! Carolina Landowners Association, of I The organization of which Senator =& ; Christensen is the head along with .pa* , "V ; other organizations which are work^ iing to have a comprehensive road *** .program adopted, such as the South .Carolina Automotive Trades Association, the Travelers' Protective Association, the United Commercial .Travelers, the State Highway Cornre mission and other agencies will be in^vited to attend the conference. II j It is believed that out of the conflict of ideas and the friction of discussion a method acceptable to every element desiring good roads will be evolved. It is thought that few of jthe members of the General Assembly are opposed to the idea of imjproved highways; their difference of opinion primarily is due to the method by which the revenue should be raised and its distribution. No date has been set for this conference, but it will be in the near future. , > MEXICO RECEIVES ARMS FROM JAPAN San Antonio. Jan. 13.?The sen jj ate sub-committee investigating the ? Mexican situation today had a reB,port that a large shipment of am-j * munition for the Carranza governI'ment arrived at Manzanillo, Mexico, :December 24, last simultaneously iwith the Japanese cruiser Yakuma. I The report was known rat army headi quarters here and was forwarded to !the war department at Washington. The Yakuma apparently was escorting the ship bearing arms and ammunition which had been purchased in Japan through Col. Emilio Circloz, of the Mexican army, and Manuel Perez Romero, then Mexican minister at Tokio. ^ The Yakuma, the report adds,-was met at Manzanillo by a committee represeting the Mexican department, of war and marine and its commanding officer and subordinates were invited to visit Mexico City. Part of the personnel of the Yakuma, it is stated, consisted of students from g the Japanese military academy.

Decker, former naval attached at Madrid and at present in I charge of the naval district with headquarters at Key West Florida, J was received by President Menocal : today. i When shown a Washington dispatch today regarding the possibility of a congressional investign+'on into the declination by hinisr-C ..v! ^various naval officers of decon.?.oiio I for services during the war, Admiral I j Decker declined to make any comIment. He added that a letter\ which he recently sent to Secretary of the Navy Daniels was of a confidential , nature, and that therefore, and comjment on the situation must come from Washington. I * J Rear Admiral Decker's letter to Secreary Daniels made public Saturday set forth the admiral's reason for declining the navy cross for which he was recently recommended by Secreary Daniels. He said the ; award was entirely inadequate for the services performed by himself as naval attache at Madrid and those who worked with him. His work, he said, was effective in keeping Spain from entering the war in 1918 and also reduced the submarine activities off the coast of Spain. "If my estimate is correct," the latter continues, "my services and the services of those who worked j jwith me in spite of the opposition of | the ambassador, is certainly greater ,than the work done by any single ^battleship in the war, or by any of-! jficial stationed on shore duty in an J administrative capacity." J I RESERVE BANKS TO CHECK LOANS FOR SPECULATION Washington, January.?Generally i j speaking, the public?which is largely | responsible?has not been acutely j conscious of the delicate financing I Situation in which the nation has | found itself in the holiday season, j While the federal reserve board beI lieves the crisis has passed, it is,, I nevertheless, determined to check j [speculative activity and use its pow| ers and influence to cause the AmerI ican people to economize. | I So many persons have thought that because the federal reserve system was constructed to bear the strains that previously had been placed upon our national banking j system that any burden whatsoever could be imposed and the structurej would not sag. But the federal re-j I serve board has been compelled for j | the nation's good to restrict the j amount of money which member j j banks could borrow of the federal j j reserve bank and otherwise use its j I powers to check the extensive issue j of credit paper for speculative pur, poses. I I Before the federal reserve act was; | passed, a national bank could not I borrow more money than its capital j ! stock. This inflexibility was in one, sense a good thing, ibut in many J other cases an obstacle to business ! expansion. The federal reserve eys-j jtem has permitted banks to borrow | ! as Tong as the funds were available Jin the reserve tyanks. In some cases j member banks have borrowed ten .and fifteen times their capital stock.| jv v! J V COMING OPERA HOUSE, V 'V V |V Two days, Thursday and V!

The study of natural history is encouraged in some Russian cities by means of miniature museums. They are nothing more than large glass show cases, located in public squares, vacant store rooms and other places where people in large numbers congregate or pass. These are filled with speimens taken from the .larger ex, hibition places. Pedestrians with a few moments to spare find it profitable to loiter in front of the convenient display* to study the stuffed , birds and animals under the glass. The contents of the cases are changed weekly, thus providing new and interesting exhibits at frequent intervals. Lectures are given at the small museums at noon hours and on holidays.
