BELGIUM IS WORKING
Country Is Quickly Recovering
From Wars Effects.
Steel Mills, Sugar Reflneries and
Linen Looms Operate Nearly
at Normal.

Brussels.-All Belgium is returning
to work and the country is recovering
from the war.
In Brussels factories which were
damaged during the German occupa
ton are being fitted with machinery
and some of them already are turning
out their accustomed products to
within few per cent of the prewar
capacity.
Production of sugar exceeds the
reopening. In the iron and steel mills
many plants have resumed operations
particularly in the Liege district
where some of the mills were com.
pletely demolished and others so bad.
ly damaged that entire blast furnaces
had to be rebuilt. Within year it is
believed the most important of these
plants will be operating to capacity.
The cotton trade of Client also has
resumed and steamers loaded with
American cotton are arriving almost
daily. During the German occupation
all copper fittings were removed from
the machines in the spinning factories
and some of these have not yet been
replaced.
The linen industry also has taken on
new life, and additional workers are
being employed every week. The ex
port trade in linen is growing just as
~
the finished product.
1t is in the country districts, how
ever, where one sees the Belgian at his
best In the vast garden country
which stretches from Brussels to the
sea scarcely square foot of ground
is left uncultivated, so anxious are the
people to produce their own food, anC
they are working from early morn
until late at night to attain that end.

may be expected, while novelties W Il go even higher.
 The increased cost of labor, the scarcity of leather at home and the fact that there are no i'm. portsss in addition to all excessive foreign demand, are ssamong the the causes as signed for this con dition. The labor question alone is very-serious one in the East, where many mills are three to five months behinl on deliveries. and where many have closed down on account of the scarcity oflabor and raw material.
 And when it comes to the price of all sort of olities, it's inst he same story with a differ ent subject. The retailer must pay more to the wholsaler, who must pay more to the laborer, who must pay more to the retail.

 There never has been such an era of road building as that now in progress. For every dollar expAndad in the improvement of t ansportation facilities, the farmer and the man who has an ; thing to sell will receive a divi- deaed many times in excess. It is an investment for more cer- tain than can be made in stock deA elopment concerns, for it is a permanent investment in a constructive program of com- munity building.

Making Careful Investigation Int,
 the Reasons of the High Cost of Road BuiIding

I w. B Owen, Commissioner of State Lands, Highways and I'm provements, has authorized the l following statement that itally Iconcerns every county in the 1 State:
 l Tie State Highway Depart ment is making careful and comprehensive investigation of the cau,e and extent of the in. creased cost Of highway con. fstruction. It is a matter of vita Importance to the good roads program at this time. The De- partment and the Commissioners are continually confronted by it; and 1t is important that the facts be known.
 It is fact admitted by every tune that all sthe clemens enter into the cost of constructions have heen .inc' @ ssing. A low level was re; ehed soon after the signing of the armistice, due to the uncertainty of public work in the readjustment following the war. Then the Legislature respon-ive to general demand for highway construction, passed special laws providing for approx imately ,5c00 miles of improved roads. This gave a great impet- us to road building, and the prices of all labor and material immediately began an upward trend which still continues.
 There are several elements that enter into the problem labor, material and freight rates principally. The tendency they
 has been toward an increase in all these thing and the advance during he last few ssmonths. as

 The State Highway Depart. ment has under advisemen, several plans to meet the emer. gency, that it may take the necessary steps to cope with the situation. Oar engineers are investigating the question thoro. ugnly and comparing prices here with prices in adjacent states to ascertain how much of the ad vance in prices is justified.
