One OF The Reasons
Why We Should Build
Concrete Roads.

One reason why Charlevoix County
ought to be considered among the best
is that such men as <. c. Waller, a very
large real estate owner and investor of
Chicago, has seen fit to invest as much
money as he has and set out as many
fruit trees as he has and also that the
Eveline Orchards, on the south arm of
Pine Lake and managed by Mr.. L. II.
Taft OF the Michigan Agricultural Col
lege, located in this territory. They
had the choice of the whole State and
still made this selection.
Personally, know that other wealthy
men are talking Of doing the same
thing and they would do it, too, If they
could be assured that they were going
to have good concrete roads. They
know that their big machines knock a
macadam road all to pieces in a very
short time, no matter how we'll they
may be built and that they will not
stand such traffic. They know this
from the experience they have had
near their own homes and on their own
roads.
This is the greatest opportunity that
the citizens of Charlevoix County will
ever have to get in now, at an early
stage of the game, and reap lasting
benefit for if they don't, other counties
who are now taking advantage of it,
north and south, east and west, will.
We are not the only pebbles on the
beach, but among the largest and most
beautiful.

Sugar Treatment of Wounds

German army doctors are using
sugar with great success in the treat
ment Of wounds, it is reported. The
method is simple. The wound is
dressed with granulated sugar, and
then bound. The sugar does not act
as a disinfectant, and must not be APP
piled until bleeding has been arrested.
But when applied to clean wound
surface healing proceeds with astonish-
ing rapidity.
No washing Of the wound is necess-
airy when redressing which is merely
matter of renewing the application of
sugar every second or third day. The
sugar dressing has also the advantage
that there is no adhesion to the flesh.

Opelika Factory Will
 Increase Its Output

Opelika, November 7.-The Opelika Overall company, which was established here about two years ago, experiment tally by few of the business men of the city, has outgrown it's present quarters and arrangements have been made for more room and better facilities for in- creasing the output of the plant. When the company was first organized the plant was equipped with 10 machines for tentative test, and in a few months these were augmented by 10 others of the same kind, and in less than a year the factory was running 50 machines on full time
 From the very beginning the success of the enterprise was assured, and for the past few months orders for the manu- factured products have increased so rap idly that it became necessary to secure larger room for operating, and for this purpose the plant of the OpelilSa Lumber company was purchased, and will be equipped immediately with the most inn proved machinery for the making of overalls. About 100 machines will be in- stalled at once and others later as busi- ness demands.
 MT. Nelson Hodge, president of the company, stated today that in short time machinery for knitting hosiery and underwear would be added, giving em- ployment to about 100 extra operatives, thus largely increasing Opelika's weekly payroll

Disgruntlcd Jitney Drivers Are Given Fine and Days
 at Hard Labor By Court


 Dothan November 7.-(Special)-R. C. Flowers, H. A. Dupree and Andrew Barnes, local jitney drivers Monday, were fined s1OO each and given hard la- bor sentences. Barnes and Flowers 90 days each, and Dupree 60 days, in may or's court on charges of obstructing the streets of Dothan to prevent travel. All three appealed their cases to circuit court, and made bonds of $500.
 The cases grew out of strike of Dothan jitney drivers during the south east Alabama fair held here last week. Local jitney men refused to make trips to the fairgrounds at a rate Of 10 cents for each person each way as prescribed by an ordinance passed by the city coun- cl. Jitneys from other towns were brought to Dothan to handle the crowds which was resentes by the Dothan jitney men. Barnes, Dupree and Flowers were charged with having scattered tacks on the streets leading to the fairgrounds in an effort to stop the imported jitneys from running.

October Weather Was
 Favorable to Cotton

Washington, November 7-ReviGwing cotton conditions for the month ending October 31, the national weather and crop reporting bureau bulletin issued today says:
 Much of October was favorable for picking cotton and this work progressed in very satisfactory manner It was mostly completed in Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Arkansas and southern Missis- sippi and Alabama. There is still some cotton to be gathered in the delta coun- ties in northern Mississippi and also from northern Alabama eastward to the Caro- l1nas. In North Carolina and South Car ol1na the weather was favorable for the development of late, cotton, which was opening freely at the close of the month. The seasonable temperature and abund- ance of sunshine made it possible to keep the work of picking well up with the opening of the bolls. The heavy killing frost in the northern and central parts Of the gulf states on the Fist and 22d stopped the growth of the plant.''
