RED CROSS SEAL FUNDS
 NOT FOR WAR RELIEF
American Red Cross Director Urges Fund for Tuberculosis Prevention

None of the proceeds from the sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals, which are being sold widely throughout the United States for the benefit of the anti-tuberculosis movement, will be used for any relief purposes, according to a statement by Ernest P. Bicknell, National Director of the American Red Cross.
 Mr Bicknell says: "The American Red Cross is deeply appreciative of the sympathetic interest which has in- spired the suggestion from various parts of the United States that cer- tain percentage of the Red Cross Seal Sales Fund, which has been used for the last seven years exclusively for the prevention and treatment of tu- bercnlosis in the United States, be ex- pended this year to aid the European war sufferers. While the Red Cross Is desirous of securing contributions which will increase this war relief fund, we do not feel justified in adopt Ing any policy which will tend to cripple the tuberculosis work in this country, dependent as it is for sup port to so large an extent on the sale ot Red Cross Christmas Seals. The anonuncement that a percentage of the Red Cross Seal money would go to our war relief fund might possibly in- crease the sale; but, in our opinion, the final results would show distinct loss in that part of the proceeds going TOT tuberculosis work.
 At the present time there are over i,zO0 anti-tuberculosis societies dis lrouted through nearly every state in he Union and even in Porto Rico, the oahal Zone and far off Hawaii, which are dependent almost entirely upon 'he receipts from the Red Cross Seal sale for their work during the year i'io' The people of the United Stat es must support this local war against suoerculosis, which annually kills 200,- vVV people and at the present time is 'eaVing trail of million wounded" !"

CAR SHORTAGE HANDI-
 GAPING MILLS
Manufacturing Industries Un- able to Secure Sufficient Num- Der to Handle Outbound Busi- ness-Makes Statement.

Little Rock, Dec. 13.-While it is not so noticeable as in former years, there IS being felt now a car shortage whcih lis handicapping the mills and large manufacturing industries of the state. They are unable to secure sufficient number of cars to handle their out bound business.
 "The industries of Arkansas could themselves materially decrease the an- nual car shortage" states R. w. Me- Williams, Assistant General Freight Agent of the Missouri Pacifid-Iron Mountain railways, eff they would permit the trunk line hauling their outbound freight to route it after it leaves their line, or if they would per init the initial carrier to route it from the terminus of this line.
 "Take car that is shipped over our line, routed to some Eastern point We haul this car to East St. Louis, and if it is routed already, we must de- liver it to the company specified in the routing. If the routing is left open we can deliver the loaded car to one of several competing lines that will permit us to have an empty car in exchange. This empty car We can then rush back to the manufacturing plant and thus give him car he would not receive if he routed his loaded car all the way, for we would have no in- ducement to offer to get the empty.
 "The manufacturer secures no ad- vantage in routing his car through, unless it is promise of service, and we can exact that promise and get an empty car too, so it is best all the way round to permit the initial carrier to exercise its judgement at it's ter minus"

The Cheapest Permanent Road.

In the current issue of Farm and Preside is an article on concrete roads from which We gather that high grade macadam seldom costing more than $50 mile for upkeep expenses Is a pleasant reality.
 Concrete roads built in the United States during 1914 cost on the average 1,921 a mile of l6-foot width. One hundred and forty-four concrete roads built during the twenty years previous to 1914 cost $12,766 a mile of 16-foot width. Most concrete roads are Is feet wide.
 "Upkeep and repair charges have been less than $25 a year for a con- crete road built in Bellefontaine, Ohio more than twenty years ago. The yearly maintenance of the 51 miles of concrete roads in Wayne County. Michigan, costs $2S.43 a mile. It costs $13.92 a year to keep up a con- crete road at Spencer, Mass.
 Concrete roads are not affected by the weather, traffic, or mud or trash tracked upon them, as is the case with some improved roads. Freezing and thawing have no effect on them if properly constructed. Heat does not soften them, nor cold make them brit tie with age.
 Wayne County, Michigan, has the most remarkable system of concrete roads in the United States. This sys- tenn was begun seven years ago. The value of the abutting farm land has been doubled in some instances, and all land as increased in value becasuse of concrete roads,"

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Net Loss of 20 to 23 Points Re- corded at New Orleans.-On the Week-End Bear Pressure was in Evidence.

New Orleans, Dec. 12.-The cotton market last week was influenced main ly by trading surrounding the Depart ment of Agriculture's crop estimate. while the figures of 11,161, ,OO0 bales were bullish, much liquidation came from the long side of the market and the offerings worked against values. The net change for the week was a loss of 20 to 23 points. On the week end bear pressure was sin evidenc.
 One reason for the lack of broad price changes following the crop esti- mate was that it so nearly fitted in with the consensus of opinion. The average of IFS guesses on the estimate among members of the cotton ex- change was 11,146,OO0 bales.
 The spot situation took on added in- terest last woke because of the great ly increased demand and willingness of holders to meet the market, all though no granting of confessions was heard of. The larger trading in the actual staple helped give the market for contracts steady undertone.
 This week the spot markets will be watched very closely. The bears be- lieve spot owners will release cotton more freely because the time is fast approaching when arrangements for the new crop must be considered.
 The bulls, on the other hand, con- tend that the small estimate of the crop by the government will have the effect of making spot holders frmer than ever in their views regarding val ues.
