' NEVADA COUNTY FARM .: ]: FRS UNION COLUMN {: By J. NJ. Thomas ':'':"::..::.., A GOOD TIME TO
 TALK GOOD ROADS

There IS one peculiarity about the road improvement movement. When the roads are dry and reasonably good there is but little said about road work. But everybody talks good roads in winter when the roads are bad. There was more truth in the old story of the Arkansas man who. when asked by the Arkansas traveller why he did not cover his house, replied that he did not need a roof when it was not raining and he could not cover it when it was raining. We can't work the roads when they are lost in the mud and they don't need work when they are in a condition to be worked so there you are. Who planes us for not working the roads.
 One of our new year resolutions ought to be that we will do our best this year to make some permanent in the roads.

 At this time, when it is pre-emip- ently important that the South should come out of this business depression With flying colors and with an untar- nished reputation for commercial in tegrlty, every man in the South should recognize his own individual respon- slblllty, even if at great personal sac rlilce, to meet any financial obligation that can possibly be met, and meet if promptly.
 The complete change in the cotton situation offers the opportunity of do- Ing this, and farmer, merchant. salar- led man, manufacturer and everyone else who has his individual honor. as well as the honor of his section in his keeping, should make the most of the present betterment in the cotton sit uation to strengthen the worlds esti- mate of the South's abiliy to meet every emergency and to maintain it's commercial integrity untarnished.

BUSINESS SIDE OF QUESTION.

"The work of the sawmill," said Rev. Charles Scanlan in recent ad. dress, increases the value of the raw lumber; the product of the flour mill is more valuable than raw wheat; bu, ter is worth more than cream. but the drunkard, who is the finished pio duct of the saloon, is of less value than he was before liquor touched him. The saloon destroys, but does not create values"

A strong Arm Rally.

On the floor OF the Stock Exchange
the swift upward movement In Steel
common Is called the strong arm" rally.
According to the professional view the
old bull pool in the stock never had 4
chance to liquidate and has now made
"a direct attack on the bear position
This probably represents the idea OF
traders caught short OF the stock. As
far as IL goes 1t is partially correct at
least. Yesterdays jump was undoubt-
eddy accelerated by buying for the short
account But IL is absurd to suppose
that a campaign was engineered against
tho bear party simply with the idea
OF putting the price up. The facts of
the case are more likely that operators
for the decline overstayed their market,
as they always do but on a somewhat
larger scale than was calculated. There
were circumstances about the recent fall
In Steel that made 1t unusually likely
that they would 1t is obvious now
that when Steel sold down to IS the
shorts failed to recognize that real llqui-
dalton had substantially ceased and that

Also they miscalculated the effect Of
the dividend omission on the minds of
the steel stock holders just as they I'M
dsrestimated the ability OF the trade to
recuperate from the low mark OF the
last quarter Of last year. Consequently
there was no necessity TO bring any prss-
sure on the shorts. They squeezed each
other In their hurry to cover az soon as
they discovered that their position was
untenable.

Canadian Competition,

The RdntCdy Age Gusette says: For
the first time since 1901 steel rails are
now being quoted openly at less than
SIS per ton. This basis price was
established for Bessemer rails at the
time OF the formation Of the United
States Steel Corporation and has been
maintained by the corporation and in
dependent mills alike since that date
Very recently the Algoma Steel Com
pany, Canadian corporation. has
entered the market In this country, quot
ing open hearth rails at s25 per ton on
board cars at the mills or $3.50 on
board cars at Chicago. as compared with
$50 AT the mills quoted by manufactur-
ers in the States. This creates very
interesting situation In the steel market
and at least three roads. the Pere Mar
quette. the Big -Four and the Toledo
and Ohio Central, have given this com
pany rail orders. The reasons why the
Alsoma Steel Company II able to quote
this price on rails are evident. The
European war has created business de-
preston In Canada much more acute
than in the United States, with ths re-
suit that the rail requirements OF the
Canadian railways are materially re-
duced."
