Editor Gazette:
Recently l read in your paper a
communication from an "O!d Resi-
dent" and feel that the following
little article, written by c. d. Ely
son, in New Jersey municipalities
and copied by me from the water
Works Journal for July, better fits
the faults Of our city than any thing
else:
1t Isn't Your Town. It's You.
If YOU want to live in the kind OF
town
Like the kind of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a
grip -,
And start on long, long hike
You'll only find what you left behind
For there's nothing that's really new,
It's knock at yourself when you
knock at your town
1t isn't your town-its you.
Real towns are not made by men
afraid
Lest somebody else get ahead.
When everybody works and noh2dy
shiIks
You can raise your town from the
dead.
And il while you make your personal
stake
Your nciehhor san make one, too,
Your town will be what you want 20
see.
It isn't your town-it's YOU.
Sincerely yours,
Taxpayer

Earth Roads Need Attention..

Good earth roads can be constructed
at very low cost. However, they re-
quire constant maintenance: which

1,2CG SHIPS READY
WITHIN IL MONTHS

Washington, Sept. 27.-The magni-
tUde of the American Governments
siipbuilding program was revealed
today for the first time in statement
by the Shipping Board showing that
nearly 1900 merchant vessels of
about 100000 tonnage will be com
pleted within a little more than a
year.
Completion of the ships comman-
deered in shipyards and of vessels &C
tually about to be contracted for will
give to the country a fleet of 1000
ships, with a total tonnage of more
than 100000. In addition to this
the board will complete in 1919 YES
sells already contracted for and under
negotiation of about 100000 tons A
billion dollars has just been Sasked
of Congress to complete the program.
The United States now is leading
the world in shipbuilding and if the
present rate of construction were
kept up would become the leading
shipping station CT the world in a few
years. The British, whose present
ocean-going tonnage is about 15,000,-
OC0 are hampered in building by lack
of men and materials. In all other
countries, ercept Japan, building vir
tua.ly is at a s,andstill.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET CLOSED DULL.
There Was an Early Demonstration of
 Irregular Strength.

New York. April 1S.-Left largely to its own devices, when not under furth- CT professional pressure, today's mar ket sagged after an early demonstra- tion of irregular strength, in which all but a few special stocks participated. Practically the same influences which have governed the course of re- cent operations were again effective. particularly the utter lack of public interest, a continuance of moderate in vestment liquidation and increasing uncertainty created by the govern ment's programme of finance and tax ation in connection with the war
 Fewer than a dozen different issues chief of which were United States Steel, marines. metals. motors, equip ments and munitions, made up almost over of 51o.0O0 sharess Rails were at no time a factor aside from their com paratfve strength.
 The conflicting sentiment prevail ing in speculative quarters was seen in the contrary course pursuel by stocks of that calibre. Ohio Gas, for instance, made an extreme advance of 5-S points to 140 7.s. while Indus treal Alcohol fell 2 3-4. with losses of to about points in motors and subsidiaries.
 Oils. tobaccos, fertilizers and ship pings were mostly lower, the latter developing heaviness in the afternoon on revival of rumors suggesting the ters.
 Reading, Union Pacific and Cana dian Pacific were. the only noteworthy features of the railroad group, but gains of to 1 1-2 points were largely cancelled. Coppers made virtually no headway, despite the publication of aditional glowing annual statements, and miscellaneous or unclassif1ed shares were at no time prominent.
 United States Steel derived much Of its strength from estimates or earn ings for the first quarter of the year, soon to be published. and Sloss- -Shef- fields further decline of 1-2 to 50 resulted from the passing of the divi- dend.
 Bonds showed their usual irregulari- ty after early steadiness Total par value, aggregated 8, S25, 900.

Doings in the Auto World

Decidedly versatile in methods was the automobile salesman who recent ly disposed of a touring Sedan to Gordon J. Gordon. prominent reas es- tate man of San Francisco.
 MT. Gordon, who resides in San Mateo a suburb of San Francisco, had refused to buy a closed car, but when the salesman countered by showing him how the car would save him money, he reconsidered his decision.
 Gordon lives about an hours ride from his office and this time formerly wasted. Since purchasing the ChaI- mers sedan, he has had the car fitted up with a small table and typewriter. Now, he simply calls for his stenog- rapher and spends the hour in dictat ing the days correspondence. He ar rivAs at his office prepared to tackle the real problems Of business and has gained an hour on his competitors. As Gordon figures his time to be worth s10 per hour. he will have more than paid for the car before the year Is out.
 Because of San Francisco's change able climate, the touring sedan is fast becoming one of the most popular types of cars on the Pacific coast. In the chill of the evening, the removable sides and windows can be placed quick . ly in position and during the day. the cars interior can be again opened to the breezes. Motor car dealers in the west assert that the car with a permanent top will be the big seller within the next year.

HEAVYWEIGHT SITUATION 4 REMAINS THE SAME
Willard May as We'll Stick to His Cir
 GUS Performances.

Amy communiQue regarding the
 heavyweight pugilistic division will tread: '+The heavyweight situation is unGhangesS- and will remain in that
 S-ear."
 There has not been much action in
 that division since Frank Moran made an attempt to bounce the laurels from the nattened brow of Jess Willard and .did not even budge them. Moran still
 looks the best of a bad lot.
 For time it seemed that Fred Full ton, the ponderous plasterer of Koch ester, Minn, might be moulded into a ireal contender, but along came Carl Morris and all the nice things that twere said about Fulton by the various kpugilistic experts including my ;Belf-lool<ed foolish.
 Morris Meets coffey.
 Morris wiu now try conclusions with ;JfIn Coffey the Roscommon Giant, who was twice knocked out by Moran. If ;the Sepulpa person does not win that night quickly and conclusively he will will remain as a possible contender for Willard. Just how much of con tender he will be you can figure if you wiii recall the last meeting of Willard
 SThe fact that Moran knocked out Tom Cowier the other night in itself signifies. nothing. Moran knocked out 'Cowler once before when the sorrel T0QDGQ Eagland. But 1t was the way In which he did it that signified-
 SAfter the rnell rang for SAe Third round Cowler drove a right crashing against Moran's jaw and sent the Pittsburger yreeling. Moran was so Eroggy that he did not know where his corner was for while. His knees wobbled and his eyes were glassy. Yet showing his small white teeth and EnnPling,
 CowIsr Shows Fear.
 He lashed so furiously at Cowler that the big Englishman began to re treat. Then Moran laughed savagely. and Cowlers who was the freSher and stronger showed that he was afraid The Eng1ishman seemed to recall their other meeting and it's finish. He backed up and covered his head. Moran drove A left to the body and Cowier beaten not by the actual punch but by the fear of being beaten sank to his knees and waited for the count.
 Moran's gameness won for him. He may be a clumsy battler, this red Ir4shman. hut it will take real fight cd to knock him out.
 It begins to look as though Morris would be the logical contender picked hF the Curley- Willard Jones syndicate for a bout with Willard. The light probably will be held somewhere in the West as the bidding would be eau L1OuS In IhlS frequently SIunS vicinity.
 Morris now holds the rough-and- tumble decision over Fulton, who was formerly the logical contender. This mite of prestige the syndicate hopes will be inflated by a victory over Cof- fey. The Roscommon idol though he has been stretched upon zhe canvass several times, remains an idol still.
 But if Morris wants to be really a locical contender he should first dis post of Moran. After that if the portly l Afr. Morris and the portlier MT. Will | bard desire to engage in combat there Affray should be staged in a reinforced | concrete ring. so that the lives of the | gpectators may not be endangered.
