WESTERN END ' RUNNING AHEAD pountics Are Offering Mil- j lions to the State For Rood improvements Now '"Western Pennsylvania seems to considerably ahead of the Eastern pounties in offering aid to the State its road improvement program 3rd if the East comes to the front is well as the West there will be no doubt about raising $50,000,000 for construction of secondary roads," said State Highway Commis lioner Sadler last night after seeing a number of delegations which hud offered to match State road build ing. The Commissioner compliment ed Clarion county on a proposition to raise a million dollars and Jeffer son for its proffer of a bond issue for a like sum. These offers came xs a very agreeable supplement to Vhe big proposals from Erie, Craw ford, Warren, Mercer, Beaver 'and other counties to help build the sec ondary roads. Cumberland county, the Commissioner's home county, came forward with a plan for build ing about fifty miles of highway and Carbon enthusiasts told of their plans to help the State in its work. Norman C. Ball and Samuel Wil- I son, of Clarion, were informed byi Come Mother, This Castor Oil Is What You Need—Don't Cry! If you, mother, had to swallow the awful dose — Think back to your childhood days—Ugh! Give your children Cascarets instead. Cascarets taste like candy. Every child loves to take a Cascaret. Besides Cascarets act better on the little liver and bowels when the child is bilious, constipated, feverish and sick. Cascarets are delightful—harmless—cheap! Each 10 cent box of Cascarets, the pleasant candy cathartic, con tains directions and dosage for children aged one year old and upwards. When the little one's tongue turns white, breath feverish, stomach sour, there is nothing better to "work" the nasty bile, souring food and constipation poison from the child's system. Give Cascarets, then never worry.

A report recently reached Pope Benedict that the Bol shevists had imprisoned Monsignor De Ropp, archbishop of Mohilev, who resides in Petrograd, and were keeping him as a hostage. Considering the advanced age and infirmities of Monsignor De Ropp and that his imprisonment would virtually mean death, the pontiff ordered that everything be done to ' obtain his release. Cardinal Gas parri, papal secretary of state, after consultation with the Russian min ister to the Vatican decided to send a wireless despatch addressed to "Lenine, Moscow," in which Cardi nal Gasparri expressed the regret of Pope Benedict over the arrest of the prelate and urging his liberation because of his ill health and age. ! Immigration is a Domestic Question, Says Ex-President Taft Pittsburgh, March 7. —The argu ment that America, under the league of nations constitution, might be compelled to receive Immigrants, contrary to the national desire, was refuted by former President William Howard Taft, in an address at a mass meeting here last night. "Immigration," said Mr. Taft, "by i international law. is a domestic question completely within the con trol of the government into which immigration is sought, unless the question is the subject of treaty stipulation between two countries." That the league council, as a med iating body, should not take juris diction to consider the immigration question, was the opinion expressed by the speaker.
