us that the supreme mistake in all

The Most Potent Argument for the
Victory Loan IS That It is One
of Self Preservation

There appears to be no valid ex-
cuse for having "cold feet" toward
the Victory Liberty Loan. The new
loan will pay back to the people not
less than s255,000,O00 a year in
interest; whereas the billions paid in
as income taxes will bring no return.
The most potent argument for the
Victory Liberty Loan is not one of
money and interest: 1t is one of self
preservation. There is unrest and
discomfort all over Europe. Indus
trial conditions are so bad there that
the governments have an uphill job
making ends meet. If the United
States thinks it worth while to avoid
the tempest of disorder that is con-
vulsing Europe, the one indicated
course is this:
Support the Victory Liberty Loan
with all the money you have or can
save. Only by keeping the Govern
ment credit solid and secure can we
hope to escape some of the dangers
that threaten Europe.

can. Subscribe for as much of the
Victory Liberty Loan as you possibly

A Golden Pavement Cheap.
hat is a good road worth?

What is good road worth?
Ask the man who has fought with
mudholes for 20 years, and who
finally has a hard surfaced road to
travel on.
Just now the nation is shelling out
millions on millions for road i'm
provement. Some of the money will
be spent foolishly, ten cents worth Of
road for a dollar will be secured in
many instances, but if five cents
worth of road is secured 1t will be
a good buy for the farmer.
No man who has not been up
against the winter road problem can
understand what a bad road means.
4 bad road, the average American
road, means that the farmer four
miles out is marooned six months in
the year.
A bad road means his wood and
grain and his fruit and his stock are
not transported to market when they
should be, or else require an ex-
orbitant expense for their moving.
The ordinary fliyver will pull a
tworton load on a trailer on hard
surface road.
That same flivver couldn't nego-
tiate half the winter roads of the
country by itself.
A farmer on a good road lives
"close-in," if he is out 20 miles and
has an auto.
A thousand years from now we
may know as much as the Romans
did 1000 years ago.

BERRIES MAKE PROFIT

Fayetteville, April 15.-A profit of $1,537.34 was made from one acre of strawberries in twelve months time by farmer in White county, reports County Agent Irwin J. Heath. The acre produced enough strawberries to bring the farmer $937.34. This spring the plants were dug up and sold for resetting. The plants netted profit of $500. The farmer states that he is going to plant this acre in corn and ex- poets to produce between 35 and 40 bushels. He is also causing this land to produce good yields by crop rotation, says MT. Heath. That poultry production in White county is popular is evidenced by the fact that produce houses in that county handled $167,00O worth of poultry and poultry products during the past year, which is somewhat more than the value of the .county's cot ton crop.

WORLD FACING
 LUMBER FAMINE
AMERICAN SENT TO RUSSIA TO STUDY CONDITION PREDICTS BIG INCREASE IN PRICE OF BUILDING MATERIALS.

Chicago, April 15.-At the Ma tional Convention of Lumbermen here today, Robert E. Simmons, who was sent to Russia in 1917 as a member of a Uuited States gov ernment commission to study the lumber situation in the war-devas- tated countries, and who was taken prisoner by the Bolsheviki govern ment and at one time sentenced to be shot, told the Legislative Con- mittee investigating high prices of building materials that the world is facing a lumber famine. Prices of lumber, he said, are certain to rise in the next few years because of the unprecedented demand which would come from reconstruction of the war stricken regions of Europe. The major portion of this lumber, he said, would have to be supplied by the United States and Canada.
 He told how the Bolsheviki gov ernment, in attempting to national ize industry, had ruined the lumber business in Russia. He said the failure was due to lack of organi- zation and intelligent leadership. When he left Russia last December all the 1,500 sawmills in the coun- try were abandoned. The workmen had stripped the plants of machin- cry and sold it to the Germans for money with which to buy food. Ev- cry other industry, he. said, had suffered in the same way. Prices for lumber in Europe, he said, were $40 a thousand feet higher than in this country.
 Replying to questions by members of the committee regarding the fu- ture of the Bolsheviki in Russia, MT. Simmons said:
 ''Bolshevism is like scourge which must run it's course. be- lieve that eventually it will fail, be- cause of it's brutal injustice and inn morality. It is the greatest menace

rope to rebuild the vast area devas- tated by war are certain to mean higher prices for the lumber for at least five years. The United States and Canada, he said, would be called upon to supply a large part of the lumber necessary for the reconstruction of the war strick- en countries of Europe.
 MT. Keith submitted a mass of statistics in support of his state ment, which he said had been made under oath for the federal govern ment. He said that in April, 1917, the average cost of production for Southern Pine lumber was $15.18 a thousand feet, while the cost in Jan uary, 1919, had increased to $25.85. Last January the commodity was sold by the manufacturers at loss he said, while the present profit was trifle over $2 thousand feet. He presented a survey of the cost of production at 96 Southern mills, which he said should earn profit of
 $9 thousand feet in order to bring a fair return on the actual capital
 invested.
 He told of one Texas mill where the increased wages granted had aggregated 83 per cent in two years. Despite this large increase in wages labor was 42 per cent less efficient than before the war. Increase in wages and inefficiency of labor he said, had increased the labor cost on production at this mill PIT per cent.
 Although the lumber mills in the south are paying their workmen unusually high wages our experience
 has shown that the standard of liv- ing has not increased and labor is much less efficient than formerly" said Mir. Keith. Ut seems to be a peculiar trait of human nature that the more money man earns the
 less work he will do. That rule
 believe applies to all classes of men,
 office employees, superintendents and
 laborers alike. If a man is earning
 just enough money to keep him he will work steadily, but if he can
 earn enough for his wants in two
 days week the tendency is for
 him to lay off the rest of the time. "That is rather an unfortunate deduction to draw" remarked Chair
 man Daley. "We have been under
 the impression that the higher wa ges to labor brought a higher de
 gree of efficiency. In fact, one of l the largest Chicago contractors said

to real democracy that the world has ever seen."
 Problems growing out of war tune conditions occupied the session to- day. Concensus of opinion among the lumbermen is that the prices VIII advance during the summer Chas. R. Keith of Kansas City, Mo-, char man of the associations committee on federal relations, said he believ- ed the advance in price would De one-third over present prices before the end of the fall season.
 "The cost of production has mounted PIT per cent" MT. Keith said. Moreover we face the loss of 1O5, 1000, ,OOO, ,0OO feet accumuiat- ed in Europe during the last i've years. . Russia and Austria-Hungary used to furnish 35 per cent of the worlds supply, and Russia Will De out of the market for at least four wears. Production in the United States has fallen to 70 per cent or prewar output. The reason IS an insufficient government price ana the taking of the most efficient em- ployes into national service.
 MT. Keith, who is president ot the Southern Pine Association and wlde- ly known as a statistical authority on lumber, told legislative com mission Investigating the high prl- ces of building materials today that the present price of lumber IS lower than it will be at any time in i've wears. He said the increased cost of uroduction, depletion of raw ma terial in this country and the enor- nous increased demand from Eu-
