Householders In the Middle West,
hitherto accustomed to the use Of an
thracite coal, were placed on reduced
aliotments OF hard coal this winter in
order that the northeastern section of
the country might have its customary
full supply.
With distribution facilitated through
the working Of the zone system. the
amount of hard coal available ap-
peared to be more than ample for re-
Quirements. The anthracite miners
had maintained a steady level of pro.
duction during summer and fall
months which seemed to provide con-
servative basis for estimates.
! A tremendous slump in production
followed the sweep Of the influenza cpl
demic, however. Hundreds Of miners
fell iii from the disease, and Of those
who recovered few were able to reach
their former efficiency within several
weeks.
The "tons mined" figures, after q
slight upward trend from the worst Of
the "fu" effects, fell again when the
miners Joined hands with the rest Of
the country in the two celebrations Of
the signing Of the armistice.

BUILD NOW!
"Own a Home for Your Children's
Sake"

Ambitions may be realized in your
children if you have the home en-
vironment which transmits to them
the ambition. The basic need is a
home and the sense of shelter and
security which goes with ownership.
If there were no other arguments
worth while men would be more than
justified in building and owning their
own homes for the children's sake.
Like father like son! The next
generation will not be hometown
ing one If the present generation
doesn't show the benefits of home
owning and inculate tho hometown
ing ambition.
IF you are determined that John
and Mary shall have fair show to
make good on your ambitions for
them, get them tucked away in good
home-a home that is all yours, and
theirs. 1t will become to them the
very hub of the universe; a very
sacred spring of inspiration and a
very tangible example of the pru-
dence of thrift. If you would do

Good Roads.

Since the comment in the papers
last week on the Reelfoot Lake road
bill, Esq. Bratton has letter from
the State Treasurer saying that there
is no money due Obion County from
the mill tax. He seems to think the
present bill is unconstitutional.
must confess that it looks like a
strange combination of legislative
grants. In one section Obion must
guarantee all the money required to
build the road that is not available
from the Federal and State road
funds; another provision is made for
the State to issue 100000 in bonds,
and additional hunting and fishing
privileges on the lake are assessed to
secure these bonds, in order to pro-
vide for the building of this road.
1t is not essential, as far as the pub
lie is concerned, whose bill it is or
what any member is earning as a
matter of record to his stewardship.
But we should have this or some
other law properly drawn and safe
guarded
What concerns us more than any
thing else is not the bill. We have
had many of them and none has re-
suited in any general construction of
good roads in the county. 1t impress
es us more and more of the trouble
we have to get our people impressed
with the Importance of good roads;
that is, taking it for granted that we
are right in advocating good roads.
It does seem in reality that it will
take revolution in Obion County
to build system of roads that would
be classed as good roads where there
has been a general campaign Of high
way construction. Tho conditions
are Incompatible. We have millions
of dollars worth of automobiles and
modern means of transportation, and
yet we are actually trying to use
roads that are not in anywise chang
ed from the day they were blazed out
of the wilderness.
Sixty years ago Washington City
was a swamp. Boss Shepard con-
ceived the idea of city healthful
and beautiful. There was great
howl, but he persisted in the work
of revolutionizing the city and was
forced, for fear of physical violence,
to exile into Mexico, where he re-
manned concealed for a quarter of
century. Every visitor knows the re-
suit of Shepard's efforts.
IL there ever is general campaign
of highway construction in the coun-
ty, and there will DO some day, our
people should never agree to anything
short of system of standard require
ments or road specifications. If it
takes the strong and experienced
hand Of government engineering to
do this then it should be done by
that department. NO one else can
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1919-05-09

very well do this without taking the
chances of losing a scalp. 1t would
be an outrage to squander our taxes
for a gravel or macadam surface on
primitive hilly and winding roadbeds
and there are numbers of citizens who
will not agree to aceessions and right
of way except at the end of the law.
Therefore we make the assertion
that it will require revolutionary
measures to give us a general system
of good roads. Some of the st. Louis
papers scored Governor Gardner be-
cause he signed a bill providing for
uniform system of standard dirt
roads in MISSOURI; that is, the bill
provided the roads should be laid
out and built and the public moneys
used for that purpose before any
provisions are made for crawling or
surfacing these roads with any kind
of hard road browning. We agree
with the Governor. 1t would be in
finitely better to have standard
grade and width roads of dirt than
to have a gravel surface on country
roads like some of ours which are so
steep and narrow and crooked that
a "tin-Lizzie," to travel them, is TAX

About four years ego Mr.. Driskill

MOTHERS DAY PRoCLAMA-
TON BY THE GOVERNOR

Whereas, BY recent Act House Bill
No. 1T, the Sixty-first General AS
sembly designated and set apart the
second Sunday in May as Mothers
Day, and recommended that on this
day as a special symbol Of love that
white flower be worn for mothers
deceased and bright flower be worn
for Mothers living;
Now, therefore, 1, A. H. Roberts,
Governor, by virtue of this authori-
ty do hereby declare and set apart
Sunday, May IL, 1919, as Mothers
Day in the State of Tennessee, and
hereby call upon every citizen in
every walk of life who wears the
bright flower to do something to
honor mother and show the appre-
citation felt on en- all wise God for
having spared her life. The white
flower will serve as the key to unlock
the door of past recollections of a
mothers love, devotion and sacrifice,
and as we go down the sad isle of
time, move us to perform some deed
in honor of our dearest and truest
friend.
The observance of Mothers Day
should be observed if possible with a
greater devotion at this time than
at any other, when we realize that
when the war clouds gathered and
the peace, security and happiness of
great nation were threateDSt, that
a citizenship composed of men and
women who honored God and loved
mother answered the call to battle
and overthrow an advancing des-
potism of brutal monarchy.
Now basking in the sun light of
an everlasting peace, let us display
the flag of our country from public
buildings, business houses, shops,
factories and homes, not as a mere
outward expression of our patriotism,
but as the colors of our faith in, and
our devotion to our country's cause
firm, fixed and lasting as a mothers
love and as free from bitterness to-
wards our enemy as mothers
feeling and affection for her way
ward child
l trust that suitable service will
be held in our churches, land at other
places where we may think of and
discuss the sacred theme of Mother,
to encourage indulgence in senti-
ments of reverence, respect and ador-
alton for mother and her sacred
memory.
In witness whereof, l have here
unto set my hand and caused the
Great Seal of the State to be affixed,
at the Department in Nashville, this
the first day of May in the year of
our Lord, 1919, of the independence
of the United States. the one hundred
