The Road To Market.

In the effort to stimulate good road
construction in this country it must
not be overlooked that the first
stretch of road THAT needs attention
is the road from the farm gate to the
town market. If the whole country
were network of hard surfaced roads
and a great system of truck transports
were established, the farmer who pro-
duces the stuff to feed the nation
might be stuck in the mud with his
load ten rods from his farm gate, If
he did not happen to live on one of
those highways.
He cannot get any larger load to the
great state or national highway than
he can get past the first mudhole be-
tween his farm gate and that high
way. A chain of highways is no
stronger than it's weakest link and
that is the link from the farm gate TO
the nearest hard surfaced road or to
town.
Some want to work from the out
side in. The more sensible way is to
work from the inside out. holding in
mind the final connection of all the
local improved roads into great sys-
tenn. The first step is to put the dirt
road bed into permanent condition
properly graded and drained and
bridged. The surfacing can then
come when it will, and be of any kind
selected, and this preparatory work
will not, have to be done again. The
permanent part of road is the
road bed. The surfacing is never per-
manent no matter what material is
used, therefore, do the first job right
as a matter of economy. 1t is the
first step toward good roads.
No one need argue the benefits of
the 365-day road. No one needs it so
much as the farmer. But he needs it
from his farm gate 10 his nearest
market. He needs it to the school
house. He can afford to pay his just
share of cost, and will do so without
complaint if he is sure of getting
dollars worth of roads for dollar.
And he wants 10 have some say
about it's construction, at least the
method of payment, and the price,
The technical construction he is will
ling to leave to competent engineers

PUBLISH U. S. PAPER
ON GERMAN. SOIL
Interesting Weekly Issued by
American Soldiers in the
Army Of Occupation
Newsv Sheet.

An American. newspaper is being
published in Germany, according to
Parke Brown, one of the European
correspondents of the Chicago Trib-
une, who cables the information to
that paper from Coblentz, via Paris.
The paper was discovered the other
day when group of soldiers were
found reading the Fourth Corps
Flare. It is four-page weekly, put
out by members of the Fourth corps
artillery park. And it is real news
paper, too, for in addition to items on
the latest society doings among the
officers and the best stunts pulled by
buck privates the four pages include
column of wireless picked up by the
powerful radio operated at Cohen
by the Three Hundred Tenth field
signal battalion. In the left hand
column are the most recent develop
ments at the peace conference, and
on the right hand is two-column
head, "Chance Many Go on Leave, !"
over a story telling in detail of the
prospects of passes to France, Eng
land and Belgium.
Feature stories are not lacking.
Here is one about a headquarters ser
geant who found the supply cellar
door unlocked. He cursed about
some ones carelessness and locked
the door upon his captain and went
on his way. Another tells of man
who at sick call told the surgeon
that he had rheumatism so badly in
his right shoulder that he could not
sleep on it. He was advised to sleep
on his left side.
Inside is box "Shrap," consisting
Of small stock Of cuts found in a
German print shop, described to suit
their present use. For example, a
horse is described as an inhabitant
put out Of his home to make room for
American soldiers. Three wine
bottles are labeled ''Scene in Luxem-
bourg."
The editorials are of a serious tone
The leading one asks whether the
reader knows that ages before the
dawn of history caves were dug in the
hills near Mayen, and weapons of the
stone and bronze ages have been TAX
en- from these hills. Julius Caesar
went through Mayen on one of his
campaigns.
The Fourth corps is SO proud of it's
paper, that many predict it's be-
coming the official publication OF the
entire Third army. Corporal Herbert
M. Davidson Of Kansas is editor; Ord
nance Sergeant Edwin N. Rand of
Worcester, Mass, assistant editor;
Corporal H. III. Bruins of San Francis
co is businiss manager, and there is a
long list of correspondents. Because
of the big demand for copies to send
home, the Flare is making more
money than it's promoters know how

The Cure for High Prices.

Of all the difficulties confronting the country the
close of price imitation is in business way, the most
serious and the calling for most immediate
ton said A. Miller of the Federal Reserve Board in
addressing audience of economists recently.
Roughly prices have doubled in four years, and every
body knows the untoward effects of that You look
at it in two ways:
War created immense demand for goods of various
kinds and hampered production of goods other kinds
Looking at it that way you say these prices due
to scarcity of various goods in proportion the demand
for them The way that is to increase the supply
decrease the demand both-to produce
sumo less, or both.
OF eighteen and half billion of dollars put out by
the Government, FIVE to six billions paid for
of the savings of the people, but carried by
the banks Mr. Miller calculates that you take the n-
in currency in circulation and of bank deposits
which have the purchasing power currency, and
deduct the increased quantity of goods in circulation you
get balance of five billion dollars so-roughy
ponding to the quantity of loans held by the
banksand that this represents currency imitation,
credit imitation which is of high prices The way
to that to and pay off tile Liberty Bond loans
which the banks carrying.
Look at it from any angle you please, greater
gin between production and consumption-saving the
dependable corrective of high prices. If they due
scarcity greater margin between production and
sumption will that II they due to credit na-
tion saving to pay off the loans will do that-SATURDAY
