wagon was moving again with Corpor.

First Move Toward Better North Roads

CITING upon the idea which has been several times expressed in
the columns of The Silver State recently, the Business Mems
Association of Winnemucca has appointed a committee to ACT
in the matter of better roads leading northward from this town.
While it is gratifying to consider that this stage has at last been
reached, it must be admitted that citizens of this town have
waited until their prosperity was seriously threatened before

Today, with the advent of the auto

SOUTH EXPECTS
GREATEST YEAR
Cotton and Lumber High; {;
Raw Materials Plentiful
and Crops Booming.

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 1.-The South
faces the greatest year in its history.
Memphis business men declared yes
terday. With cotton at top prices
and every indication that it is going
higher. lumber going higher, farmers
receiving handsome returns for their
crops, factories able to buy coal and
raw materials and labor again plenti-
full. there is prosperity ahead.
Cotton should maintain an average
price of 30 cents in 1919, and better
grades will command more, predicted
l. Salisbury, president of the Chamber
of Commerce, and probably the larg-
est cotton planter in the world. This
places cotton on about a parity with
wheat at s2.96 a bushel, the price
guaranteed by the government
Tremendous strides were made in
1918 toward producing enough food in
the South to feed itself. Although
Memphis handles more cotton than
any inland city in the world. records
compiled today showed that this terri
tory, including large parts of Tennes-
see, Arkansas and Mississippi. pro-
duced $50 worth of food crops in 1915
