Feeling Of Optimism Regarding
 Conditions Accompanying Peace
Readument of Wage Scale and the Building Material que Time But Prosperity Along Normal Lines Will Probably
 Within Few Months-Aabama Coal Production

While there is little or no change in the industrial situation optimistic views are being expressed touching conditions that will follow the return of peace. A high degree of prosperity has always come after big wars, but not imme edi- lately.
 Many months have usually been re- quired for the readjustment of dislo- cated business. The high cost of con- struction material and the excessive fly high wages now prevailing will ap- proach normal gradually. Just how long it will be before the new build ing era is in evidence is question that only time will determine.
 The demand for coal, iron, steel, ce- ment and lumber will be enormous, but not until wages come down can manu- featuring enterprise, outside of essen tials. get in full swing. Everybody feels that good times are ahead, but some fnanciers and industrial leaders are inclined to believe that 1t will be & year or more before ,arter-the-war &C., tivities reach high level The opti- mists, however, are in the majority and the prophets of solid boom may see

Southern Landowners Convention

The meeting of land owners in the south to be held at Savannah on November Il and F, at which Secretary Franklin K. Lane of the United States department of the interior Is to speak on the first days programme, and to state his defi- mite policy concerning land settlement and land utilization in the future, and also the governments definite policy with respect to the returning demobilized sol diers, promises to be largely attended.
 The meeting, which will embrace in- terested land owners from the south side of Virginia to the eastern part of Texas, is to be held under the joint auspices of the Southern Settlement and Deyel- opment organization, Baltimore; the cut over land department of the Southern Pine association of New Orleans; the Georgia Land Owners association; the Florida cattle tick eradication commit tee, and the North Carolina Land Own CTS association.
 One of the subjects to be considered and discussed is that of sheep raising Tn connection with plans for settling ana developing unimproved lands.

Optimistic View Regarding
 Resumption Of Brick Work

1 or four months. When government con- struction is completed and the com mercial building now under way Is l completed, the brick people must find
 an outlet for their product in the field of nonessential construction.
 T think that conditions in the late winter will permit the modification of the present building rule," he conclud- 1 ed. When the big government projects are completed, the demand for labor for public construction purposes will not be So keen; indeed a large part of the labor now so engaged will be re leased, am glad to say that the rail-
 road situation is now very much bet
 ter, and there is no such congestion as
 blocked the roads last winter. It Is truc
 that the present cotton crop is to be moved, but 1t is being moved, and i'll the course of two or three months ths railroads will be relieved of any un- usual strain from that source. The big jobs of transporting building material for cantonments has been handled splendidly. and while the roads are still handling much material for that purpose, yet the big strain of this is over. see no reason why by early spring the roads should not be in post ton to handle a considerable quantity of building material without strain or without affecting the transportation of strictly essential commodities. The people of this section have more money than they have had in long time and they wish to make various necessary improvements and to invest portion of their money in needed buildings They are responding cheerfully to gov- ernment calls, and will continue to do so, and it is gratifying to know that they have money enough to buy Liber- ty Bonds and War Savings Stamps and also make private investments and i'm proYements"

WOULD OPEN LARGE
 AREA TO SETTLEMENT

The general opening up of a large section of country lying in Jackson county. North Carolina Oconte county. South Carolina, and Rabun county, Georgia, is expected to result from the search of tho government for wood with which to carry on the prosecu- ton of the war, says an Atlanta cor- respondent of the Manufacturers Rec ora. One of the immediate benefits Of tnls vast enterprise is expected to be the settlement of this large tract of land by settlers from all sections of the United States, among whom will be many soldiers returning after the war has been won against German mill itarism.
 The government is just now engaged In plans for cutting out 1000, ,O00. 900 feet of timber for use in shipbuildfng and other enterprises. In this work many hundreds of men will be en- ployed, and unprecedented prosperity Is expected to accompany the devel- opment Of the timber resources
 One of the principal things to be done in connection wiht the govern ment's enterprise is the opening up of extensive highways, and a considera- ble amount of money will be expended In improved highway construction. which Is expected to be permanent

Mississippi Banks Backing
 Boys and Girls Lamb Club

l Another chapter In the history of Boys club work Is beginning in Mis- i sisssippi, and it promises to be every bit as interesting and valuable as the 1 ones that have preceded it, says the Jackson correspondent of the Manu- facturers Record.
 It was a Boys Pig club, assisted by w. R. Ritch, farm demonstration agent Tor Yazoo county. that made the first cooperative hog shipment from the state and thus opened the way for an ] industry that now is bringing into tho state millions of dollars annually.
 Having put this business upon a hrm basis, and, filled with a spirit of confidence in the youngsters, Mir. Ritch determined to try to put the sheen In- dustry back upon the footing 1t once was in this section of the south. and settled upon Boys Lamb clubs as the surest and quickest way to do this.
 MT. Ritch believes in sheep He says every farm in Mississippi ought to have al least small flock.
 In 1917. after he had seen tba hoo business grow from nothing to one of the chief industries in the state he da. ctded to start lamb clubs He went to the three banks of Yazoo City and IaifI his plans before them. They were sim pie and practicable.
 He asked that the banks buy sur- ficient sheep to furnish two to fiyo lambs to any girl or boy in the county who would agree to take them. give them the proper shelter and the prou- CT pasture. The bankers had had some experience with MT. Ritch, and their coffers were much fuller for his pres- ence In the county, so they agreed to finance the scheme
 They took the boys or girls note. agreeing that it was to be paid out of the sale of buck lambs from the flock, and if the boy or girl wished, out of the proceeds of the wool also
 Tn January, 1917, 100 ewes were pur- chased. In october, 1918, a banquet was given for the bankers and the county board of supervisors, at which results of the club were given. Thirteen com- plete reports from boys and girls were read. as follows:
 James Reagan bought six ewes and one buck for S32.70, sold buck lambs and wool to the amount of s5I30 and has 10 ewes on hand; Geneva Golden and two brothers bought 10 ewes for S54.50, sold SIP worth, and have F ewes on hand; Dallas Vandevere and sister bought 16 ewes for S114, sold $206.50 worth, and have 22 ewes on hand Mary Francis Willoughby bought five ewes for $29, sold s69.S5 worth and has II ewes left Robert Martin bought five ewes for s29, sold $50 worth, and has 10 ewes left; Lil- lian and Catherine Killey bought 19 ewes for S5s sold $50 worth. and have

coal a day by the last of the year, but Vice President and General Manager w E. LealSe says now that it will be March before large output will be recorded. Ultimately the capacity of the mine will be fully 5000 tons a day.
 The fuel company is a subsidiary of the Southern railway. The mine is to be modern in an It's equipment It is to be indeed the Hast word'' in every respect. The houses Tor the miners are not only attractive in appearance, but they were built on strictly sanitary lines.
 MT. Leake says he has never had any difficulty in securing labor and that fact he attributes to the model condition of his camp" The welfare idea has been outstanding and no mining town in the country is more up-to-date.
 Coal production in the Alabama dis trict has fallen off on account of the in- fluenza, but as the epidemic is now fast abating the weekly output will soon begin to show a substantial increase. This weeks production will probably get back to 100000 tons. and before Decem- Der new high record, say 45o,0O0 tons, reported.
 Business continues to hum in and around Sheffield and Florence and In sections of the state depending mainly upon agriculture prosperity is at the top notch. Through most parts of the south prosperity abounds.

IS ewes left: Monroe Hamberlin bought two ewes for s10, sold S2S worth, and has six ewes left.
 Two children entered in the fall ot 1917 with these records: Cordelia Go. ker bought two ewes for $I6.30, sold $3210 worth, and has six ewes left: William Clark bought 10 ewes for s125, sold $121 worth, and has Is ewes on hand.
 In all, 54 ewes were reported on in the first group. The net profit iron. these was $2S2, and there has been an increase from 54 to 94. In the second group 13 ewes were reported upon. The net profit from these was $2035, and in one year they have increased from I3 to 22.
 After thees reports were laid before the bankers, and it was found that in nearly every instance the first years yield had more than paid for the orig inal investment. the bankers agreed to set aside $2000 for the club work in 1919, and this amount will be invested in ewes as rapidly as they can be well placed.
 No difficulty has been found in sell ing the lambs at excellent prices and the wool, too, has brought good re- turns

HIGHWAYS TO CAMPS
 BUILT OF BRICK
The Industrial Index says in a recent

The Industrial Index says In recent issue:
 John W. Sibley, secretary-treasurer of the Southern Paving Brick Manufactur- CTS association, of Birmingham, is in Columbus conferring with the military authorities and county commissioners in the interest of building brick high way from the city to the new army camp, and was a caller at the office of the Industrial Index.
 Mr. Sibley states that there has been great activity during the past year in the construction of brick highways to va rious camps in the south. The first work of this character was done at Camp Johnston. near Jacksonville, where all the roads in the camp practically are paved with yitrified brick and it is said to be one of the model camps of the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-11-04

country. This work was done by the Wilson Construction company of Jack sonville, using brick from the Robbins, Tenn, and Coaldale Ala, plants of the Southern Clay Manufacturing company. with main office at Chattanooga
 The next brick paving was at Camp Mcclellan, six miles from Anniston, where most of the road was built upon the old macadam road as base, then a two-inch cushion of cement sand, and the brick On this all thoroughly grouted with cement filler, making a semi- monolithic construction. About mile of the road was new and built on a 20-foot fill, and this part has a con- crete base and the brick laid mono lithic. with cement grout filler, The traffic over this road is very heavy, averaging 5000 vehicles a day. including many heavy trucks and artillery wagons. The military authorities are highly pleased with the road, as is every one In Calhoun county. This being the first permanent paved highway in Alabama of this magnitude, Is mecca for all in- terested In better roads, The work was done by the Southern Paving Construc-

, their dreams realized in tho near fu- ture.
 If war industries are beginning to slow down. there is no waning in the Birmingham district. The Birmingham Steel corporation is pushing ahead with it's steel fabricating plant, which is being financed by the government through the emergency fleet organiza- tion. It will probably be ready for op- eration within the next few months.
 Good progress Is reported on the building of the plant of the Birmingham By products company, and the same Is true of the Sloss- -Sheffield's by-product ovens. Millions are being spent on de- velopment work now underway and aft CT peace terms are concluded the vari- ous new plants will be kept In operation.
 The Tennessee company's vast exten- sions at Fairfield and down Possum val ley will soon be completed and then Birmingham will look more like the "Pittsburg of the South" than ever.
 One of the large coal developments un- dertaken year ago IS the Railway Fuel companys mine near Parrish in Walker. The work progressed satisfactorily up to the early fall when delay was caused by the slow delivery of electrical ma terial. Later the influenza epidemic made its appearance
 It had been expected that the com pany would be producing 1000 tons of

The Augusta correspondent of the Industrial Index says:
 In the opinion of Howard H. Staff ford, president of the Georgia-Caro- lima Brick company. there will be a modification early in the new year of the governments restriction of brlck manufacturing and selling, at least ln- solar as 1t affects the south. It is only an opinion, but is a very interesting one.
 MT. Stafford is not only one of the leading clay manufacturers of the south, being at the head and in active charge of one of the largest brick manufacturing enterprises in this sec s tion of the country, but he is person. SAIlx quite conservative and his views,

Nonessen- t.als have been cut to the limit, and properly, but there Is a limit beyond which the authorities do not wish to go. as they recognize the importance of keeping the commercial and industrial forces of the country intact to the greatest possible degree. The situation with southern brick manufacturers is just this: We have been allowed to furnish materials for buildings under construction when the order was issued restricting building practically to essential construction. We have also had to furnish much brick for direct war department construction, or con- struction that was indirectly for the same purpose. Under these conditions the brick people of the south have got normal, but we have operated to a sat- fBfactory extent, conditions considered. X0d have sold our products.
