 One of the most phenomenal facts in the growth of the city of Fayette WAS recorded in 1914. Fifty residences were erected during this year Every indica' tion--of growth points to permanene5 rather than a boom.

 Where four years ago eharred ISssS, ruins were the only indication G8s8l of Fayette. today there loom
 upon the horizon a number of magnificent buildings, which support the activities and enterprises of 2000 people, From a casual glance at the big struc- lures in the city, one could scarcely con lecture with req asonable accuracy the pop ulation of the thriving town. located in the heart of a great agricultural section. Fayette is a new city. When a sweep ing devastation reduced the city to ashes, only the railroad station remained after March 22, 1911, to identify the little city of Fayette. But the strong hearted sur vivors were not dismayed or discouraged by the horrible cataclysm and hopefully assumed the task of building anew the city But in building. the citizens de- veloped the city on a larger scale than ever before and have continued along the same plan until now Fayette Is a model town.

tant and hurtful charges. The steam
ship owners can increase rates without
notice and upon the instant, and our
business men are helpless. They are
seriously checking our foreign trade, and
in some cases, such as lumber and coal,
are stopping it altogether"
The report concludes with an argu-
ment in favor of the ship purchase bill,
in which the Senate is reminded that
such unusual freight charges, If eontin-
ued, may result in creating big balance
of trade against this nation. 1t points
out that Of American ships in all trade
worth about S6000O0000, the bureau of
navigation says that only ships valued
at 500 100000 are in the foreign trade.
BY sons the argument is made, the re-
port says, that this government should
not do anything to cause competition
with this 500, 100000 of private capital
invested in ships, although foreign trade
Is left thereby entirely at the mercy of
foreign shipping interests and the rela-
lively small amount of American capital
invested in ships engaged in the foreign
.rade."
