 Bad highways will drive men and women from the farms into cities, thus reducing the number of food producers and increasing the number of mouths to be fed from Steadily diminishing food supply. That road leads straight to an archy and bolshevism, for a decreasing food supply and increasing population congestion breeds discontent, poverty and ultimately anarchy.
 "The good highway is the straight road that opens the way to better schools. better religious activities in country churches better dwellings, and that means better homes, more contentment on the farms, larger food production, with more profit justly earned by the grower and yet lower cost to the con- sumer

 Because these statements are truths that need to be driven deep into the soul of our country, this issue of the Man ufacturers Record is largely devoted to discussion of the highway question.
 The year 1919 will be notable for many industrial activities, but it will be essen tially a good roads year.

Urgent Reasons For Building Nov Presented Very Clearly

A valuable contribution to the ad justment of the labor situation is the decision of Secretary Baker of the war department to permit soldiers who otherwise would be mustered out to TO- main in the service until they are able to find a job, and then to be released on their own request, says the Macon
 Ga, News.
 While in a broader sense the best opinion seems to remain optimistic as to the business outlook, the fact re- mains that the labor market is becom- ing congested in certain areas and IS
 arousing many misgivings. The New York state director of the United States
 employment service says there are 4o.- 900 men, just out of the army and navy. now seeking work in New York city alone Fifteen thousand of them are strangers who have decided to remain
 in the metropolis rather than go back to their old homes.
 He added that unless the merchants
 and manufacturers within the next six
 months begin to get busy for future markets the situation would get worse rather than better.
 Since the number of unemployed in New Yorw city was doubling every week, it is evident that the decision of the Secretary of War will be of great benefit.
 In the meantime the Secretary of Labor has issued an appeal to the coun- try at large and particularly to the mu- nicipalities to begin building opera
 tions on as large a scale as possible. He is entirely hopeful as to the fu ture, provided we can tide over the temporary period of readjustment. He goes so far as to say:
 "I am of the opinion that from the time we restore ourselves to our nor nal postwar activities, the demand for peace-time proruction will be so great that there will not be the remotest pos- sibility of securing any reduction in the wage rate from their present basis. I feel, further, that the manufacturer who fails to take into consideration the prospects of the future and who, in q hope of securing a cheaper raw ma- terial, does not build Up his /organiza- | ton and maintain it during the poss:- l b1y brief period of readjustment, will
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-02-24

be handicapped in securing his share of the business afterward because he will be handicapped through lack of working forces in his territory.
 Tt therefore seems to me that the situation resolves itself into taking care of the possible problem in the interim between our ceasing war &C., tivities and the time when we have as- sumed postwar activities"
 Secretary Wilson disclaimed any sympathy with a movement to provide work merely for the purpose of keep ing labor employed, but he believes that there is a vast amount of work, both public and private, which has been held back during the war period and which should now be taken up. He thinks a great era of municipal im- provements should begin now.
 He calls attention to the fact that the department of agriculture, not only to provide employment but on the merits of the case, is getting ready to inaugurate a great road building cam paign and will give every encourage ment to that end. Congress will be asked for a larger appropriation for federal aid to the states in road build ing than had been originally contem- plated.
 There can be no duobt as to the viz dom of the steps taken by the depart ment of labor and the department ot agriculture. The thing for us to is right here in Georgia and in Macon is to take a survey of the situation and see what should be done and what we can do to cooperate in this move ment.
 The county has already taken tne needed steps toward issuing bonds Tor road d-buldng and other purposes. Per- haps it would be we'll for the city au- thorities to see if it is not possible toS naugurate certain building projects which are needed and would serve a double purpose now.
 It is certain that when if comes to a matter of individual enterprise there was never a time when building pro- jects would be more opportune.
 The statement that AGO or 800 nav houses could be rented today at good rate if they were to be had gives food for thought

Need of Buildings

The wisdom of building immediately is fast becoming an accepted fact as shown by the continual increase in construction work announced, says the Industrial h. dex
 As for the need-and in many cases the imperative need-of building immediately there can be no question. Construction operations were held up many months because of war conditions, and the build ing required by natural growth could not be done. The southeast is prosperous, and the amount of intended construction now in this section would be greater than usual even under normal condi- tion.
 In many cities and towns throughout the southeast there is an urgent demand for more residences and business build ings. The lack of them, if continued much longer. will halt growth and ex- pansion. A vast amount of street paving is needed, and other municipal improve ments are pressing for atetntion in many instances.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-02-24

tion. Even now, with the calendar win ter still here. building operations are beginning to take shape. Building per mits are increasing week by week, and it will not be long before the totals will make large showings.
 The good roads movement is at tracing more attention now than ever before. It is slow state, indeed, that has not walked up to the importance of motor truck highways, and which is not doing something to promote the extension of improved road mileage. It is safe to predict that more money will be expended on highway construction in Alabama within the next two years than was ever expended in any pre- vious period of five or SIX years. Time was when the people had to be edu- cated up to the economic value of good roads, but not so today. Everybody understands that nothing returns such a large dividend on public outlay of money as high-class highways.
 Alabama is more prosperous than it has ever been, but every mile of new road built on the most approved models will add immeasurably othe states prosperity. Last week the Baltimore Manufacturers Record put it grippingly when it said:
 The future of civilization, of material, moral and educational progress in Amer ica, depends upon the highways.
 Bad highways-mud or deep sand roads spell backwardness. Good highways

Spring Coats Are of the Box Type Skirts Are Plain and
 Narrow.
NEW MATERIAL FROM LONDON
Waistcoats Add the Needed Touches of Color, While Heavy Braiding of Varying Type Remains in
 Favor.

For so long time now women have come to accept the tailored coat suit as the very foundation of their wardrobes that it is the first consider ation as the seasons change Espe- cially is this tpue of the average wom- an whose wishes are controlled by ex- pediency and determined by absolute fact, writes a prominent fashion cor respondent, that American manufactur- CTS have developed the supreme art in the making of the coat suit. 1t is now possible to buy such suits, so well built, so perfectly designed, that few tailors can excel, for as great care is given to detail as the master makers themselves can show.
 Some foreign critic has said that there is such a monotony about the clothes of American women that it is as if everyone were trying to be as much like her neighbor as possible, and originality is an unknown sar- torial art in this country. I am sure this critic must have referred to the blue serge suits, for it is undeniably the custom to clothe ourselves in dark blue, resting secure in the choice of color and it's suitability for all occa- sions.
 Let none hesitate this spring, for our favored blues are delightful to behold and lovely to wear. The smart little box coat with it's vest of con- trasting material is the model most in evidence at the opening of the spring showing. A new material com ing from London is a dark blue basket weave, loosely enough woven to be almost transparent and resembling the summer crashes of some seasons back, except that it has a smoother surface.
 Plain and Marrow Skirt.
 One suit of this material has the same narrow and very plain skirt seen in all of the other models. The coat is of the box type, shorter than most

 Tricolette, which is so silky and mad, in such beautiful colors, is one of tbo best materials to use for the tailored vest. It is very good when made m perfectly plain at the top and finished at the bottom in a series of very wido tucks placed one above the other and showing as the box coat falls awav in the front.

 and with rounding jacket and tight bell sleeves. With this coat is seen vest of gray surah silk shot through with a scroll of darker gray. The vestee is loosely hung over the bust and at the hips is wrapped in a loose sash effect, very baggy, and we'll be- low the waist line. The sleeves are finished with a cuff placed inside the blue and made of the gray scrolled silk.
 Of course tricollete, tricoline and other knitted fabrics are newer than all others, and will be smart indeed. Gabardine and whipeord are extreme ly fashionable as well, and an old ma- terial, always a favorite and delight fully exploited this year, is silk poplin.
 This is particularly suited for real warm weatheS, and makes a pleasing suit with silken sheen that is love- ly, and it also drapes gracefully.
 Ifobserve a tendency to much braid ing, both in the fiat, narrow silken braids, of which row after row is used and placed both on the skirt and coat, and also the heavy silken cords are much used. The latter appears in an unusual effect in tan whipeord, three rows of heavy silken cord of dark CT shade being placed side by side to form collar at the back and extend ing along the front side of the box coat. At the waist the cords pass through small flap of the whipcord and end in an ornamental flat silken disk at the bottom.
 Gives the PulIed-in Effect.
 The fiat silk braid is used to give the pulled-in effect at the bottom of the skirt, where one row will be placed above the other nearly to the depth of the knees. Again wider braid ap- pears in multitude of small loops set in rows along the bottom of the skirt and coat.
 Of course we have all noted that the vest, waistcoat, gilet or blouse, what. ever one chooses to call the smart lit. tie things we will wear underneath our box coats. are the distinguishing

 It may safely be said that the allied Christian nations will celebrate Easter this year with un- usual solemnity. The life immortal is a comfort ing belief just now, when the world has been brought face to face with death by the great as never before. Probably also it will be cele brated usual in Germany, for the Germans make much ado over Easter.
 Easter in Russia.
 Even in distracted Russia Easter will be ob served for the Greek Catholic church makes much of the celebration and Easter observance is part of the national life. Certainly Easter of 1918 was observed as usual in many parts of Russia. a though the anarchist disorders we'll under way. Here is bit of description from letter written from Kief in 1919
 Easter Is the greatest festival of all the year infinitely more than Christmas. At 12 o'clock we drove out to the Larva, the oldest monastery and the richest in all Russia. Can you imagine huge courtyard surrounded by 40-foot wall and immense covered gateway, groups of large white buildings all ablaze with light with the snow for a background; the center building the church. doors open the inside lighted by thousand dles, and the chanting of 1,500 priests. In the open courtyard thousands of soldiers with uncovered headS each bearing a lighted candle. To tfe right stands the bell tower, a wonderful structure POO feet high. At the stroke of 12 the most wonderful bells in Russia peal forth as you have never heard bells In America Thousands of voices cry Christ is risen and the priests come forth and march around the building"
 In the days before the great war no festivals in Europe attracted many foreigners as the cele- bration in Rome of the holy week. It was not unusual for than 10000 visitors to be pres ent, large proportion of them being English and Amercans-and also Protestants Doubtless there will be many visitors this Easter season Easter Sunday is the culminaton of the ceremonies The pope himself oficiates at high in St. Peters with the most gorgeous ritual. It is after he ex- tends his blessing that the papers containing pray CTS are thrown down from his balcony to be scrambled for by the congregation.
 Jerusalem, the Holy City.
 The celebration of this Easter in Jerusalem will probably be noteworthy. It is the first Easter in seven consecutive centuries which finds the holy city permanently freed from the msrule of the Moslem Mohammedan misrule and oppression had their beginning 13 centuries ago, but the Cru saders held possession of the city twice-once under Godfrey of Bouilon (1099-11S7) and again under Frederick II (12291244).

Both the Greek Christian and Latin Christian churches hold elaborate celebrations. One of the most striking ceremonies is celebrated by the Greek church in the Church of the Holy Sepul- cher and is locally called Mir acle of the Holy Fire" The en- thusiasm is so great that at several celebrations hundreds of worshipers have been crushed to death.
 The essential features of the ceremony are the reception and dissemination of the "holy fire" The fire is kindled in the holy sepulcher, and passed out through an opening made for

In the words of Paul, If Christ be not risen then is our preaching vain and your faith is also vain" But" he says, "now is Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that sleep" Which is to say that the Christian religion stands on the resurrection of Jesus

ELKO COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Yesterday, at Elko, the final trans

county commissioners Of Elko county,
and as soon as the deed can be made
out and the money paid over the
county will take possession. The
price paid was $4,000, says the Elko

The commissioners have examined
several other properties in the vicinity
of the city and finally decided on the
Hot Springs as the most suitable for
q poor farm. An option was taken
several months ago. but the trans
action has been held up owing to the
fact that there was hitch in selling
the bonds. but this has been ar
ranged. and the hospital and poor
farm bonds have been taken by q
Denver firm for 100000. plus the
accrued interest, amounting to about

the parties would adjust their diff
ferences and the hearing was con-
tinued until later date. This same
arrangement was made with the con-
tests OF the water users of Pleasant
Valley and Lamoille Valley. On
Wednesday a meeting of the water
users at Lovelock was held and the
same agreement was entered into, and
the state engineer says that he hopes
to have the adjudication well under
