BATTLES IN ANCIENT LANDS
The war has ,moved into two of the world's most his-
(eric spots. One is in Iraq w herein was located the Garden
of Eden, and thru which theTigris andEt p;hrates still ilow.i
The other is Da, mascus, oldest city in the world, the one
4o which Saul of arsus wa"a directed when stricken blind,
while going there to persecute the Christians. On recov-
ering his sight he became the greatest Ohristian mission-
ary, and most influential preacher in all history.
If you haven't a Bible, borrow one and refresh your!

roads. To beeome'a part of the state road system, a road
or ,a street must be so designated by official act, says the
publication. Designation may be effected by a proper
minute order by the State Road C mmission, or in so,me
cases by the act of official ,maintenance o.f the road or
street by t'he Road Co,remission.
Dedi eation of a street or road by deed or usage will
make it a "pu bli,c" street or road but will not m ake a
, "State" react. Only if the Road Commission itself accepts
or designates it as s,uch will the public road become a
"State" road.
Contrari'wise, it! a road has been once a.ccepted and des-I
ignated by the State Eoad Commission as a state road it!
will rem ain such perpetually unless by proper procedure it
is offieia,lly bandoned.
With respect to the secondary road system the statutes
provide specifically that only such roads as had been def-
initely designated as county-district road by the County
Courts prior to July 1, 1933, would auto,rustically become
"State" reads a ter that date. The Road Commission is
prohibited fro,m designating a" secongaw road within a

PERIL OF FRENCH DEFECTION
Fran,ce, the cradle of liberty, and De,mocraey is being
sold to Hitler for thirty pieces of silver ,by the rascals who
betrayed her armies into bondage a ye ar ago. Their
agreement to sell the right to use French seaports and
airfields in S ria and North Africa may spell defeat for
Britain. At,any rate, it adds tremendously to the difficul-
ties of the British Ihmpire.
The action of President Roosevelt in taking over all
French ships that had taken refuge in American ports
from German raiders meets with popular approval. Our
next move should be to take over reneh islands and col-
onies on this side of the Atlantic: otherwise they will be
turned over to the Germans for naval and air bases. If
France puts her a my, including two million soldiers now
,prisoners in Get,many; and her huge fleet of warships now
idle in home ports, into Hitler's service, along with what
she has already given, it will be a blow that not even the
tenacity of the British can su,dcessfully combat:

All items of the fa, mily budget are advancing. Two per

eremse in the retail cost of food from mid-March to mid-
