ROMANTIKA.

Do nedavnega Sc je ona' imenova-

drazeStna deklica, hci nekega tu-
kajSnjega farmerja.
Nekega dne je odSla dalec V

klica nj mnogo pomislila, nego je
splezala ma drevo, ola jih otrese
kolikor bo mogoce. Po neprevid-
nosti Sc je nenadoma zdrsnila z
neke veje in omahnila. Pod MO so
bila trda tia in viSina je bila pri-
iblizno dvajset Gevljev. Sreea "a

 A reduction of activity in cotton goods was noted during the month, many New England mills reporting sup plies of raw cotton sufficient to last until next year, while the cotton yarn interests in the Philadelphia district were said to be placing few orders. PRICE CUTTING SLOWS DOWN

 New candy factories are springing up, and candy shops are placed on almost every corner in Birmingham. Candy merchants say that while the entire candy trade was confined to children several years ago. that now all classes of people areetheir patrons.
 Charges that the tremendous amount of candy consumed was the cause of the sugar shortages are repudiated by the figTes. The figures show that only 8 per cent of the total sugar supply goes

 Another interesting fact shown is that stick candy, for years the most popu- lar form of candy, is loosing it's place in public favor. Consumers are turning tc the more expensive chocolate-covered candies. While some years ago stick candy formed more than half the candy suprly, less tran 20 per cent is now pro- duced in that form.

HIGHWAY WORK
At STANDST|LL
Embargoes Cause Road Build
ing and Repairs To,
Be Halted.

Highway work in the Memphis terri
tory is at a standstill Not only is
none being done but the present roads
are being torn to pieces because of en-
bargoes which prevent the receipt Of
maintenance material These conditions
We're outlined Friday by Thomas p.
King, highway commissioner of the
Chamber of Commerce, who has Just
returned from his vacation "trip.
Owing to the state of the bond mar
ket, many sections having already au-
thorized bonds have been unable to
find market for them. Those other
districts having money in hand can not
obtain material for construction and
work is tagging 1t is a peculiar Sit
uation in that despite the high costs
presented, there are few contractors who
are, able to fulfill construction work
with margin of profit. Delay in
transportation of materials, rains and
other conditions have so interfered with
work that contractors are becoming
more and more careful about work they
accept.
According to Mr.. King there is one
ray of relief in that with the new en-
barge order against coal moving to
ports for export, the coal shortage will
be relieved soon and then open-top
cars may be secured for the movement
of highway materials.
Mr.. King says that he has never seen
as much enthusiasm for the construc-
ton of highways and only the above
conditions are holding back considerable
work that will give the Memphis district
a comprehensive system Of good roads
