not taken an active part in the af-
fairs of the ranches.
Mr.. Dunn and the members of his
family are all road builders, having
been isolated to such an extent that
they found it necessary to build
roads thru the sand hills lying be-
tween them and the town, and they
are now able to ride the distance
on high gear that used to make a
toilsome journey with a light vehicle
nd horses. Mr.. Dunn stands for all
that is safe, sane and progressive,
and his home and ranches are all
typical of their founder.
In commenting on the changes
here since he came, Mr.. Dunn said
Saturday evening that no man could
hope to see greater changes and
greater progress and development in
a community in half century than
he had witnessed here. The utter

the proud satisfaction of charioting
home that way amid the cheers of a
fattering rabble. Anybody who has
studied Latin knows what delight
the musty old chroniclers had in
dragging in mention of the famous
Appian Way.
A man named Caecus was the
author of this road that has re-
manned thru the centuries as a monu-
ment of Roman road making. He
was an emperor, or king, or some
thing, and he merely told his vas
sails to go and build it and make a
good job of it, and they did, and he
got the credit. But nowadays every
body gets the credit, because every
body goes in on bossing the job and
buying bonds to Fay for it.

lack of everything in the way of
transportation and buildings, con-
trasted with the towns and settle
ments of today with roads, bridges
and cars is a mighty step forward,
and just now the people are contem-
plating the greatest step yet made,
in advancing road construction some
thing like twenty years at one storke
by the bond issue. 1t all adds to
the privileges of man past eighty
as Mr.. Dunn is. His eighty-second
birthday comes next December and
the present year is likely to be a
champion for progress. tt.

the field for the Republican nominal
ton for president. They are Gen
Leonard Wood of New Hampshire,

spring. On the Democratic side there
is not likely to be much campaigning
until president Wilson announces
whether he would accept a third
term. Some astute observers think
that he will run only if the Senate

Examination Recovering.

At least one town in Vermont is
showing signs OF recovering from the
building stagnation incident TO the
war, and that is Bennington, where
IL new houses are in course OF CON
struction, with prospects of more
buildings being started within u short
time. Most of the cities and towns
of Vermont have not yet reached that
stage of rccoyc-.' from the effects of
the war wherein all the houses al
ready erected are in occupancy, but
in nearly all of them there is some
decrease i'll the surplus of houses.
Bennington has been enjoying an in
dustrial growth for several years and
has been short OF housing accommo-
dations for some time. Its progress
is pleasing to the remainder OF the

The trouble with most of US is that
We do not read history and learn
from its lessons. Civilization swings
around much the same circle over
and over again, with occasionally
little Improvement. Bolshevists,
communists and radical socialists
think that they represent advanced
IDEAS but this notion comes from
their being so busy with their own
theories that they have never read
history and learned from the earlier
experience of the world. Commun-
ism, soviet control, radical socialism,
etc, were thoroughly tried out more
than two thousand years ago II is
possible for primitive people to
live a stagnant and non-progressive
existence under communal socictism.

under that system neither Japan nor
the Japanese ever amounted to any
thing Every man, woman and child
was simply slave to his own little
community without liberty of
thought or action, with no accomp-

hope for the future. II is possible
for the world to adopt the theories

The japanese in Korea and Shan
tung have as much right as the Brit
ish in India and South Africa There
is no question or doubt that India
and South Africa are better off under
British rule than they would be If
left to themselves and there is every
reason to believe that Shantung and
Korea will be better managed by
Japan than by poor sleepy old incom,
potent China or by their own self
determination. History is repeating
itself in the far east these days. For
hundreds of years Japan was under
the thumb of China and Korea. To
reverse the condition today is prob
ably the best thing to do under the
circumstances as they exist Jealous
European nations do not like to see
Japan grow in strength and influence
but 1t win be wiser to expand in

will bring them in more direct con
tact with Caucasian peoples.

American Cotton and Grain Exchange
Quotations middling upland cotton.
New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, January 20-Weakness developed in cotton today under general selling and the market closed at the bot tom, net loss of 75 to 125 points. Of terings were the result of bearish senti- ment regarding the business situation in general, for the most part, but were also partly due to reports of pending further reductions in prices of finished cotton goods on this side of the water and Iu- mors of the closing down of mills in Eng land through lack of orders No atten- ton was paid to the bullish features of the day.
 Around the first call prices were 20 to 26 points off but enough buying came in to cause a quick reaction to level 10 to 16 points over the close of Satur- day. This hard spot brought out the real selling movement of the session and pressure was more or less in evidence from then on.
 Exports for the day from all ports were 39,557 bales, bringing exports thus far this week up to 51,6l6 bales against only 2521 during the same period last year. This caused comment but no buying. Re- ports were received of private bureau forecast of 10,9OO,OOO bales ginned to Jan uary 15, figures considerably under aver age expectations. but without stimulating the inquiry.

NEEDOF LOWERFOOD PRICES BEARS GRAIN
Corn Closed 3 to 4 3-Sc Net Lower, While Oats Went Downgrade With Its
 Ally

Chicago, January 2o.--Assertions that food administration officials recognized the necessity of lower prices for consum- CTS had decided bearish effect today on corn The market closed heavy at to 4ssc net decline, with February S1.2S7sG l. 2e1s and s1.245s@1.25. Oats lost 1bd15sc. In provisions the outcome ranged from 75c off to an advance of cents
 Bearish sentiment as to corn seemed to spring chiefly from reports of pressure on Congress to assist in lowering the cost of foodstuffs. In this connection, an influential trade authority was quoted as saying he had learned unofficially that from now on food administration state ments instead of enhancing values with famine talk would be of nature to exer- else an opposite influence.
 Much selling resulted also from the bill seeking to provide that the 1919 wheat crop should be disposed of in the open market, the government paying the pro- ducer the difference from the present guaranted price, Word of virtual em- bargo on nearly the whole export busi- in French and British ports tended fur ther to weaken the market.
 Oats went down grade with corn.
 Provisions reflected the weakness of grain.

Over Stewards Wire

New Orleans, January 0.--Liverpool was about 30 lower than due, probably OF the nearer prospects of lower freight rates as suggested by trade reviews from London Our market opened about 20 down. on the execution of accumulated selling orders over Sunday. and some selling on the lower Liverpool, but a good demand appeared and carried prices somewhat about Saturdays close. There was no as sressive pressure, and disposi- ton seems rather to follow than to die tate developments. and any favorable news would probably find readier back
 ing. On the whole, the frlendlier feeling which became manifest during the clos
 ing part of last week has a chance to develop. Bullish export figures are prob able in the next few days. as stocks afloat are large, 74.000 in New Orleans alone, of which 55,O00 are for Liverpool. The census report giving ginnings to January 16 is due about Thursday. It compares with 10,571000 last year. The ginnings for the period last year were lS1, COG, and ginnings for the period this year are thought to have been a good deal larger, and traders look for bear ish report by the national ginners also in the next few days.
 New York has reduced the discount or May under Marcn rom I'D points 10 around 120. A similar correction in the faulty discount is due here, as trade demand will be attracted to the cheap est positions.
 The market after the close of Liverpool experienced a sharp reaction to around 23 cents for May New York reported Japanese selling. and heavy tone in cables from Liverpool. Others say the ring crowd in New York raided the mar yet in quiet moment. The spot situa- ton is virtually unchanged Not much demand owing to the higher basis asked. but also no~p pressure of offerings.
