commissioners.
The highway commission shall

township. From their number

commissioners is .$100 per annum
and their term of office is for
three years. Each shall, give

the roads of the township as soon
as it may be advantageously done
in their judgment.
Section 7 of the act says that
the commission shall select the
roads which shall be permanently
improved, in whole or in part,
the width of the same and the
material to be used, regard being
hail to the present condition of
the roads and the amount of traffic
over same. "They shall divide
the roads to be constructed
? or improved into sections of not
less than one mile, or more than
five miles, for the purpose of letting
the same out for construction
or improvement by contract
to the lowest responsible bidder.
They shall have a right- to condemn
land service, soil, trees or
other material adjoining or near

The act further provides that

disbursed by them, and this shall
be a part of the records of said
court. At the expiration of the
life of said commission all its
contracts, papers and books of
accounts shall he turned over to
the clerk of court and filed ill his
office."
Seal of Confederacy Lost.
The whereabouts of the official
seal of the Confederacy, an unsolved
mystery for more than
half a century, probably will ever
remain unknown. James Jones,
aged negro employe in the senate
office building, Washington,
who is reputed to be the only person
with a knowledge of the
pluce where the seal was buried,
v died in Washington Friday \\-ithout
disclosing his secret.
Jones was serving as a servant
of President Jefferson Davis when
the Confederate leader was taken
by Union forces. As the story
goes. Jones bfiried the seal before
the Union authorities could oh- !
tain possession of Mr. Davis' ef-\
fects and to his death revealed 1
the spot to no one. .

Domestic Questions Said to Be'
First on Program of Session
That Convened Monday.
The attention of the American
people is centered 6n Washington.
where the new Republican
Congress met in extraordinary
session Monday, with many big
problems, both domestic and international.
to be solved,
Quest ions which pressed heavily
tor solution in the last term
of the 66th Congress, but were
not acted upon by the senute and
house during the final days of
President Wilson's administration,
are more acqute now, with
the business depression continuing
throughout the country and
chaotic conditions in Europe holding
back a return to stability.
Into this situation the* Republican
party enters the rtrst session
of Congress under a Republican
president, after eight years of
Democratic aid ministration.
In a few days Congress will be
considering the vast domestic policies
of industrial readjustment,
reduction of wage scales anil
freight rates to bring conditions
down to un after-the-war level,
and the revision of the taxation
and tariff laws. On the international
side the important questions
concern the formation of a
policy looking to a substitute for
the League of Nations and declaration
of peace with Germany.
It has been made clear, however,
that the administration seeks to
have domestic problems solved
first.
There seems to be no definite
policy agreed flpon by the Republicans
as to the tariff and
taxation program, although there
have been many conferences between
the house and senate leaders
and between them and President
Harding. " The house plan
appears to be the reenactment of
the farmers' emergency tariff
bill, vetoed by President Wilson,
to be followed immediately by an
amendment to the Underwood
tariff law. placing all American
valuation unon imnorts.
President Harding and the stale
department have had ample opportunity.

Prices Following Revolution.
We hear from time to time some
complaint of conditions resulting
from war measures, says Farm
and Fireside; but before complaining
any more just read this
letter by Mrs Abigail Adams, wife
of the second president, written
on June 8. 17751 :
441 have been able to supply my
own family sparingly, but at a
price that would astonish you.
Corn is sold for $4. hard money,
per bushel. Labor is $8 per day,
and in three weeks it will be at
$12, it is probable. (Joods of all
kinds are at such a price that 1
hardly dare mention it. Linens
are sold at $20 a yard; the most |
ordinary calico at $20 and $40; ]
broadcloths at $200 per yard;
West Indian goods fully as high ; I
molasses at $20 a gallon ; sugar j
$44 per pound; Bohea tea at $40.
and our own product in proportion;
butcher's meat at $1.20 to
$1.60 per pound; hoard at $60 per
