centlv returned from France, gave the following interesting information on these matters: eve need never fear Bolshevism as that is known in some countries. Thank God, we have pass ed by that, but if we would avoid SO cial unrest here we must plant the man on the soil as they do in France. A man may not rally around board ing house but he will rally around his home. You know the cleverest propa- ganda of the Germans to spread So- cialism in France broke against stone wall five times when it was tried in France, and the reason the propa- eanda failed was that five millions of Frenchmen own their own farms
 The fact that thrift is the best known preventive of Bolshevism IS not commented on because of any feeling of danger from Bolshevist in fluences in this country, but because it illustrates in a splendid manner the stabilizing effect of homc-owning, both rural and urban. Every move- ment which has for it's object the en- couragement of owning farm or home in town should be given all pos sible assistance, not merely because 1t will prevent unrest and the spread of malignant forms of propaganda among our people, but because of the substantial benefits it will bring to us

value of s1o, 900 100000, were substantially offset by our imports. If industries are speeded up as business men expect they will be, imports of raw materials, espe- cially from South America and the far east, are likely to be increased.
 It is, however, impossible that imports be great enough substantially to offset exports. But if the imports on luxuries are cut down to almos. -one-half instead of increasing the offset will be reduced.
 Certain kinds of laces, for instance which were imported just before the war and were of the money value of $25,- coo. eco, have fallen off so heavily that for the present fiscal year, the money value of them will be only S5000,000. There is to be a heavy falling off in imports of spirits, wines and malt liquors. In fact, that trade will be a dead loss when the prohibition amendment goes into effect.
 In 1914 we imported 10 princiupal ar ticles of luxury, of the money value of $120, 900 600. In the present fiscal year
 imports of this kind will not exceed in money value 900.
 Yet the domestic trade in precious stones, in laces and efaDroideries has not fallen off. The shopkeepers find custo- mers in plenty for these articles and the purchasers are not restrained by the high prices which they command

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT


from every standpoint of economies and right living.
 An ambition to possess a home, whether it be in the quiet surround ings of the country or in the busy scenes of the great city, constitutes a specific objective in the practice of frugal habits that is far better than any theoretical one. Many family is prosperous to-day because it re- solved years ago to begin saving money for it's own abiding place.
 There are agencies of various kinds in almost every community that can be relied on to cooperate with the sincere prospective home-owner. A comparatively small amount of capi- tai is required, as rule, and thus one can begin reaping the pleasure of home ownership before money enough has been laid by to purchase prop erty. The practices of thrift in this way will prove continuous inspira- ton.
 This is the best time of year to translate into terms of actual .prac- tice ones home-owning desires. If you are drifting along today with little or nothing back of you financially, you could not begin life of thrift in a better way than with the resolution that you will become the owner of a place of your own whether it be in the country or the city. Look about you for place to locate. You will find it happy quest. It will be the be- ginning of new tomorrow. In the years that are to come it may mean the difference between calm content ment and bitter defeat It will set the feet of your children on the road to good and useful lives and give them not only an object lesson in thrift that they never can forget. but it will | place in their lives scenes and associa- tions, that, in the years to come, will be numbered among their choicest memories. rom every standpoint of wholesome self-interest, own your own | home

LUxuRIEs TAX AND IMPORTS

It may be, that the imposition of new taxes upon luxuries explains the some what astonishing falllhg off in the inn ports of luxuries, which will take place in the( present fiscal year The statis- ticians say that the failing off in pre- cious stones is so heavy that in the eight months of the present fiscal year they were of the aggregate value of s17 OO00 900. whereas in the corresponding months of the preceding fiscal year they were $32,00O,000.
 This is spoken of regrettable, for two reasons, first it is desirable to se- cure as large a revenue for customs as possible. Evidently, however the reve- nues from customs dui:es upon luxuries will be less than one-na1f of what that revenue was the preceding year.
 Tn the second place, chose who are in authority at Washington, and also the financial leaders of New York. are of the opinion that. leaving the customs duties out of consideration, nevertheless the more our imports are increased the the inevitable international trade bal ance in our favor.

WAITING FOR PEACE

 growing feeling of impatience similar to a feeling which prevails in this city, that the peace conference at Paris has been ocrastinating, and also some doubt as to whether it's final findings may be ac- cepted until some months have passed. The comment is frequently heard in the financial district of this city that the chief obstacle that stands in the way | of the rapid coming of abundant pros- perity is the delay and doubt which have associated with the peace conference. lii fact the feeling is so strong that some are heard to say that for the sake or American business and prosperity 1t may be the better part to rush through the | reace conference proceedings and for the Senate of the United States speedily to ratify any treaty which may be placed before it.
 It seems also to be the understanding | that prices for almost all commodities will not fall below the present stand- | ards. at least until several months and l perhaps a year have passed. Never theless industry and business of all kinds may be maintained and increased not l withstanding high prices.
 l sEor a while business hesitated and the business leaders who nave been anxlous to lay in large stocks Of goods for retail distribution refrained rom entering the markets because they hoped that in lit tie while lower prices for commodities of all kinds would prevail After all what they chiefly looked for was the certainty that there would he no sudden lckange in price standards.

GREAT OPTIMISM
 ABOUT THE FUTURE
By HOLLAND

New York, May 12-(Special.) )-When New York business men return from a visit to Washington, as some have done within a day or two, they bring back reports of the enthusiasm and optimism respecting business conditions and the promise of the immediate future which, they say, compare well with a like feel ing which prevails in the securities mar ket in New York. They go from New York to Washington prepared to speak of the manner in which the securities mar ket is now acting, indicating, as they believed, great and probably soon to be
 irresistible pressure which will make in
 evitable unsurpassed activity and pre-
 sumably rapid appreciation in market
 topics
 The Washington feeling is reflected in
 the statement of the Federal reserve
 board. ~The board has had excellent op-
 portunities for defining reliable informa- tion about business conditions and proS- poets in all parts of the country. Un- doubtedly it is this information which has been gradually communicated to the Washington public, and this in part, at least, explains the prevailing belief at the capital that we are on the eve of a great business prosperity, the magnitude ! of which it is difficult to forecast. | From all parts of the country reports | have come to Washington and to tho | Federal reserve board which are of like l character to reports which have been received in the financial district of this city. These reports show that business prospects have greatly improved, retail | business is increasing in volume, and bushes generally, the board says, in its statement, is on a stronger and better l footing than early in the year.
 | Moreover there come encouraging re- ports about the gradual but sure meet | ing of the demand for labor. Labor IS now finding in many parts of the country
 abundant opportunities for employment, when, it is recalled, that early in this year the anxiety was great lest many | thousand men and women who were anx- l icus to secure employment could not find | it, then it will be realized how rapid the recovery has been, so rapid that the | floating supply of labor was in April al most completely absorbed with the pros- pect that there would be work in plenty for all who are ready to accept the op- portunity

For the Good of
 the Community

t1tO NO1A LCC IT IGHWAY CONSTRUCTION is going Al forward all over the United States at rate not anticipated or even believed pos sible three months ago.
 Contracts are being awarded, almost daily, and these are scattered through every state in the union. The day of permanent highways has ar rived and the state or county that lags now will be left whenthe procession passes.
 The movement for permanent highways is growing apace in Alabama. Jefferson county has plans already made for over thirty miles of such roads to be built dur ing the present year. Reports from sev- eral other counties bring news of kindred nature.
 Agitation for state bond issue of from S25,OOO,OOO to S4O,0OO00O is bearing fruit and it is almost certainty that the legis- lature at the summer session will author ize such an issue for permanent road con- struction.
 A recent issue of the Public Ledger, of Philadelphia, summarizing highway i'm provements undertaken or planned, says If letting of road contracts are indica tions, then optimism is cashing in. During the last few days reports from all over the country indicate that waiting is soon to be ,.o,,1oo ooI I,xy o o+17 o1 xxyoy1x
 Contracts for road construction are noted in Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Indi- ana, Michigan, California, Georgia, Kan sas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, West Virginia, and from other sources we learn that sim liar contracts have been let in Connecticut, Florida, Kentucky, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio Oregon, South Carolina, Texas Utah, Virginia, Wash ington, Wisconsin and other states.
 The Concrete Magazine for May, refer ing to new road work, says
 "The scope of territory reporting con- tracts shows that the resumption of high way work is not confined to any particular territory, and hence, based upon local conditions and necessities, but is, in fact, ndClOu-WlUG.
 "Also of great significance to the high way contractor is the fact that the move ment for permanent hard surfaced trunk line highways throughout the United States is an impersonal one. That is to say, it is a movement that has back of it pri- marily an economic force, seeking an out let to market that will not place such a heavy drain upon the products in transit as to lessen the net profits to the producer, and increase the cost to the consumer by reason of excessive hauling costs in reach ing that market
 Viewed in this, light, it will be seen at once that where townships, counties, or states voted to bond for hard surfaced highways (and Michigan is the last in the line, having voted to l for S50,OO0,000 hard road system on April D, such action is the direct result of public opinion and public demand organizing itse1ft to put an end to waste in highway maintenance and at the same time release the motor driven vehicle from the restriction of uneconomic road surfaces
