The Road Problem
in Mccormick County
Will We Solve This Problem or Not?
Mccormick Messenger.

Mccormick Messenger.
There is nothing by which the
progress Of a community or cunty
is Judged more than by the roads
and farmers found in that section.
The two, generally, run hand IN
hand. That is good farmers and
good roads.
On every side you hear the cry
for more farmers and men OF other
yocations to come to Mccormick
County. The cheap land offers a
great inducement to the land seeker,
but the roads to and from such
lands are very undesirable; and 50
long as they stay in the present con-
.dition Just so long will this be one
of the stumbling blocks to the land
buyer. After farmer raises mar
ketable products he is scarcely able
to get same to market, and especial
ly is this true after such q time as
we have just passed through. ..
Now, the question is how are we
to build. roads? We have no money,
This is all true, but we do not want
to build roads. The object is to
make the used to be roads passable'
This can be done with very little
work or expense on the part Of any
individual if it is gone at in the right
way. g.,

portance to every individual cltlzen
of this county. Then the only
right way would be to involve every
citizen to the extent that he give
help in some form to the work. TO
my mind the logical way would be
to first get the people organized in
every community. The sole OBJ
ject of such organization should be
to better the existing road condi-
tions in that particular community.
This can be done by devoting day
or two to working the road, filling
holes, clearing bitches where clog
ged, repairing bridges, and scraping
the road after rain. The ideal
thing to do the scraping with would
be the road scrape. However,
where such Is not available, the
split log drag makes a good subst-
tute. If the above features were
looked after by the people in every
community, it would not be long
before this county, 80 far as the lay
out of the old roads would permit,
would have as good roads, if not far
better than are found in some of the
counties which are equipped with
road building machinery. Let some
man in every community take the
initiative, get a good roads club"
organized and accomplish something
in this respect. In due time we
hope to establish Creamery Route
in this county, but such will have
to be a thing of the future as long
as road conditions are as they now
are. -.
Now is the best time to begin i'm.
proving the roads in your commu'
nifty. In the near future we hope

u. s. GETS ORDERS FOR SHIPS.
Much Work Formerly Going to Hol-
land Comes to This Country.

=, Rotterdam, Netherlands, July 26.-
Many foreign shipbuilding orders
that would have been placed in Hol-
land have gone to America, in con.
sequence of the uncertainty created
by the ship export law recently pass
ed by the Dutch parliament, accord
ing to complaint just presented to
the minister of agriculture, industry
and commerce by a shipbroker, A.
Schippers, who represents large ship
building interests.
"It is," he says, remarkable that
America has never been able to COM
pete with Dutch shipbuilders, neither
before nor during the war, but that
30 soon as Holland was closed to the
export of ships the United States has
booked big orders for the building of
vessels for European firms, at prices
that are fabulously high-much high
er than the prices which our shipbuil-
ders would ask if there were free
export of ships built in this country" f."
!. The Dutch shipbuilding industry
can not exist without foreign orders,
and the livelihood of 16, 6,000iworkmen
is at stake, according to the peti-
toner. He points out that while on
December 81, 1914, less than 10 per
cent of the tonnage building here
was being constructed to foreign or
ders, this proportion had risen on
June /, 1916, to about "a per cent.
It is petitioned that the royal de-
cree on the export Of ships shall be
SO amended that ships may at all
times be exported, except if it should
appear that at the time Of their com
pletion the State has need of such

MORE MEN ON STRIKE
At Youngstown, Where Coke Plant
May Shut Down.

Youngstown, Ohio-Six hundred men
employed by the Youngstown Sheet and
Tube Company joined the striking
workmen of the Republic Iron and Steel
Company, bringing the total number
of men on strike here to $500, according
to labor leaders. Officials of the Sheet
and Tube Company, however, contended
that not more than 70 of their employees
joined the strikers, who demanded an
advance in wages.
Rail mills of the Iron and Steel Com
pany were closed today on account Of
the strike, and it was said that the com
pany coke plant would not be opened
tomorrow. The closing of both the rail
mills and the coke plant would throw out
of work about 3,70O men not included in
the list of strikers.
T. ]. Gray, President of the steel
company, issued a statement today, in
which he said the company claims it is
now paying the highest labor rate in
effect in the Youngstown district.
