Business Prophesies!

Business in America. seems to be
prophesying a comparatively early
peace in Europe, with an abundant
revival of prosperity in this coun-
try? Or prosperity Independent OF
Europe?
The comment is justified by the
behavior of the markets!
Cotton spots, and futures, extend
ing to next January, made new high
records for the season.
The stock market is more active
than it has been in 1915 and stand
ard stocks are again in the lead.
Cotton seed oil quotations have
advanced steadily.
Sugar futures similarly.
The bond market is healthy.
In every direction hope and con-
fidence, buoyancy and advancement
are in the very atmosphere.
If the condition were true of one
market only it might be discounted.
Transpiring in all, it has an I'M
mistakable significance.
Men of big business are not bulls
on the market until they see light.
They generally have an uncanny
facility for seeing the light before
the rest OF the population.
Does big American business see
early peace in Europe, and is it

farming, but the work is largely inconl
plete. More effort is needed to bring
back our corn and wheat yield, and es
pecially the corn. 1t can be done. and
there is nothing we believe that will
stimulate this more than contest
among the boys of the county. Some
of our business men, the Business Men s
Club or some other organization should
get up contest and Obion County, in
stead of East Tennessee, should hold
the honors of corn growing for the
the State. We have the land and
the reputation for the culture of corn.
We should prove to the world what we
can do. Incidentally and what is of
more value to us than this reputation
is to have a demonstration made by
some OF our enterprising boys, and then
get to work and follow their plan of
corn growing.

No More Railroad Building.

The advent of the automobile and
the motor truck is superseding the
work of railroad building, 1t is
really becoming a thing of the past.
The interurban, so popular in the
Eastern and Middle States, is also
going with the rest of railroads, and
the motor machines are destined to
take their places. We are repro
ducing an article from the Farm and
Ranch on this subject.
Some time ago we advocated hard
roads while a number of our people
and, especially the Business Mems
Club, were waiting on some nibbles
for an interurban project. To tell
the truth we were really glad that
nothing came of the project, There
was very little prospect, however.
But we lost nothing if only we
would take to the hard roads enter
prise A hard road to Gibbs would
increase our shipping wonderfully
and it would, for all practical pur-
poses, put US on the l. C. road as far
as passenger traffic is concerned
Years ago when Union City declined
to take advantage of the building of
this road through the corporation
the evil could have been remedied
then by a hard road to Gibbs, with
it's advantages in draying Many
cities then drayed miles to their
railroad terminals. We could have
done it easily, and if it had been
done Union City to-day would have
been city three times as large as it
is
We can build this hard road now
and make wonderful difference in
our trade and traffic and we should
go to work to raise the means to do
it and never let up until it is done.
No use to wait until the county does
it for us. Build this short route
first and we guarantee that other
hard roadways will follow. This
alone would be great achievement
for the enterprise of Union City,
and not a cent to lose to any mans
business, but the prospects of the
most wonderful gain
One thing we should never submit
to, and that is when we get the
means to build a hard road we
should never start to work at it I'M
til plans are perfected for right of
way for proper drainage and a sys-
TEN of standard roadbeds properly
graded.

New Conditions.

Whatever may be the issue of the
blockade controversy between Eng
land and the United States, one fact
becomes increasingly clear; Once
this war is over, there will have to
be readjustment of the recognized
conditions of the blockade, on the
basis of the changed circumstances
of maritime warfare. The develop
ment of submarine activity makes
practically impossible the mainte-
nance of effective blockade" in the
sense understood by the Declaration
of London. The advanced efficiency
of submarines as weapons of defense
render the patrol Of an enemy's coast
so highly dangerous as to be practic-
ally prohibitive. The only sort of
blockade that is possible under the
new conditions is blockade at a
safe distance"
This condition that will demand
recognition by international under
standings in the future. The ground
principle that "a blockade to be
binding must be effective" will be
retained, of course; but there will
almost certainly be a wider latitude
for the "radious of action" and a
consequent more liberal interpreta-
ton as to effectiveness. There has
never been an effort in international
law definitely to prescribe the radius
of action; it's extent is limited sole
ly by the condition of effectiveness
of the blockade. Since no beginning
at effectiveness can be made in prox-
unity to the enemys coast, under
changed conditions, what effective
ness is possible will have to be
achieved further at sea.
1t is conceivable that such a state
of affairs will seriously discommode
neutral shipping whose paths to
neutral ports may lie across these
radii of action, though far outside of
what would have been the limits of
a more proximate blockade. The
minimizing of this inconvenience
will be one of the problems to de-
mand serious consideration in the
readjustment to come.
The hopeless muddle that the
United States and Great Britain
have fallen into in their diplomatic
exchanges is testimony of nothing
SO much as the unadjustability of

Corn Growers.

The Legislature has commended Vim
cent B. Hamilton, of Washington
County, who produced 134 bushels of
corn on one acre, winning first honors
in a contest by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. The resolution also
commends Rollo Cline, of Cumberland
County, who won second honors in the
contest.
These are Tennessee boys and Ten
uessee has won honors for raising
corn. A full account OF these corn
crops and the boys is given on the first
page. Some time ago the Union City
Business Mems Club took up the mat
ter of offering prizes to corn growers in
Obion County and let it fall through.
Obion is said to be the richest corn
county in the State, and something
along this line should be done. We
are falling back in both corn and wheat
growing, and the something needed was
to be found in the work done here by
Mr.. McAmis. That gentleman sue
