course. you have been reading | the swappers' Column in The
 Age-Herald.
 I feel a personal responsibility for that column. I like the way it is going and the interest people are manifesting in it. It comes home to everybody, be- cause in these strenuous times everyone has something he or sine wants to trade off. Few of Us have the cash with which to do any great volume of trading
 The idea of this column was suggested by little Georgia woman in New York, who moved there several years ago with her husband. He was a prosperous cot ton man. The cotton market went to pieces He failed and she decided to go into business herself. She brought sev- eral colored sewing women from her Georgia home. as gel as a good old negro cook and a negro butler She be- gan making shirt waists. delicate little blouses and all manner of fancy things. The wealthy people of New York patron ized her eagerly and were given to re- maining to lunch with her, where there was always well cooked good southern food. Now she is overwhelmed with orders.
 She is a woman of most excellent taste full of wit and humor and I should say that her income from her fancy work must be bordering on thousand dollars month.

 "We handle something like s1,25O- 900 of money annually for all pur- poses. Of this the schools gets approx imately $215,oOO.
 Tn road building we have much work under way. On the Birmingham- to-Jasper road some nine miles of new work is about half completed and it is being pushed. Then the work on the Blount county road covering some seven miles is progressing to comple- ton.
 "A survey is being made now for a road from Leeds via Loviclx to Iron dale about seven miles. The citizens along the route are to provide the right of way-66 feet wide-and arc to trim it out
 This county has about 600 miles of macadam and cherted roads. There are some 500 or 900 miles of important thoroughfares that we must improve as fast as the money is available. This does not include some 800 miles of neighborhood roads.
 There should be some legislation en- acted to permit the board of revenue to anticipate the incoming taxes in the matter of road building so as to pro- vide for more work in the open fair weather season rather than the winter weather months as Is now made neces- sary by the dates of incoming taxes.

Republicans will Get Together

"The regular republicans and the Roosevelt progressives will get together within the next few months and begin an active campaign for 1916," said Ed ward F. Lithgow, of Chicago.
 CT am not a politician myself, but I have friends who are in close touch with some of the leaders in the pro- gressive camp, and from what I hear, Colonel Roosevelt will be invited by the straight republicans to a get together conference. He will certainly have a good deal to say in the matter of polit- ical merger and a republican reorgani- zation I was republican voter In 1904 and in 1908, but in 1912 I got disgusted with the way the republicans acted and staid away from the polls
 President Wilson has a fighting chance for reelection. but unless busi- ness happens to be booming in 1916, a united republican party would score a victory At any rate, that is the way it looks to many business men in my part of the country"

The impression is in the air and is deeply prevalent in Washington that the European war is to suddenly end this spring or early summer.
 The fact that England and it's allies have Germany bottled up, both on sea and on land, and that England Is to drive her way through the Dardanelles, cap ture Constantinople and open up Rus sia's southern outlet, means that Ger many will be completely encircled; that the cordon will be gradually contracted until Germany will be in a circle like wolves rounded up on western prairie. There will be no getting into Germany. of. course. She is too strongly fortified for that but when completely surrounded and held to live only upon herself, then Germany must ask for terms of peace.
 washington believes this will not be later than June.

G. 0. P. SHY OF PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER
MATERIAL DOES NOT MEASURE UP
AS AGAINST WOODROW WILSON
By Congressman Edward Heating

Washington, D. C.-Who will be
the Republican standard bearer in
1915?
That is the favorite topic of con-
versation in the lobbies of the Wash
ington hotels these spring nit hts.
The political wise-acres turn out a
new possibility" every twenty-four
hours, but. somehow, none Of them
measures up to the job.
1t would be easy to select a Re-
publican candidate if Wilson were
not sure to be the Democratic NOM
ineee. The man in the White House
has been growing until he seems a
Colossus today, and his would-be op-
ponents are pigmies by comparison.
Think of Burton of Ohio, Weeks
of Massachusetts or Fairbanks of
Indiana entering the presidential
lists against Woodrow Wilson of
New Jersey!

All would be flooded with beets II
the owners would consent to pay the
farmers fair prices for their product.
A Fake Fight
or course there is no such thing
as an Independent" sugar factory
in Colorado. There are factories in
which the trust does not own stock.
like the concerns At Rocky Ford,
Swink, Sugar City and other points
In Southern Colorado, and then
there are other factories in which
the trust is heavily interested.
Fordney and other advocates of a
believe that war to the death" is
being waged between these factories
and the interests which control
them. 1t was In furtherance Of this
propaganda that he told the House
that all the Independent" factories
in Colorado were closed and all the
trust" factories were operating.
This war to the death" is purely
mythical and is designed to influence
public opinion in favor of tariff on
sugar.
The fact is there is very definite
understanding between the "Inde-
pendents" and the trust.
This understanding extends to
the matter of the price to be paid
the farmer for his beets and the
price to be charged the consumer for
his sugar. In the one case, the farm
er is to be paid the lowest price for
which he will consent to raise beets
and in the other instance the con-
sumer is to be charged "all the
traffic will bear"
