ROAD IMPROVEMENT
LEGISLATION PROPOSED
Lions Club of Union City Interested
in Legislation.

IN Legislation.
At a meeting of the Liops Club of
Union City last week and again this
week the subject of good roads was
taken up. The club has offered the
idea that there should be some
changes in our county road laws
not so much in the manner of road
construction, but in administration
and operation. 1t is desired to super
sede the old system of road work
ing provided by tn e constitu-
ton of the State for warning hands
or collecting certain amount for
each days absence from work, and to
adopt system, if it is practicable,
of contracting the entire road work
in the county.
A bill to this effect is to be pre-
pared by the club and our Repre-
sentative-elect will be asked to pre-
sent it for passage at the next SEES
sion of the Legislature.
w. G. Reynolds is chairman of
the committee and a meeting is to
be held next week to further this
work.
Mr.. David Caldwell, of this city,
now principal of the public schools
at Smyrna, was introduced and adj
dressed the club at its meeting at the
Palace Hotel on the subject of city
government and opportunity. This
was an interesting address, covering
the field of civic progress and public
spirit and was presented in very de- |
lightful manner

Black BroadcIoth for Evening Wear

Ever so many OF the skirts which
wrap tightly around the figure have
fullness let In by means OF narrow
godeta on one side only toward the
front. They may be laid In where the
skirt laps over and forms the closing.
Cheruit has resorted to black broad
cloth for evening dress. She embroId-
ers It In white. One such model has a
novel skirt with one side Wrapping
over the long train. while the other
comes from underneath the train. 1T
ting the figure quite snngly. On the
skirt are two bands OF embroidery In
leaf design. Long, full sleeves are Of
white lace. So. also are the sides and
back Of the bodice. the latter having
an appiloued square OF the broad
cloth.
Another model which Is very lovely
IS Of white brocade and black lace. II
shows the corsage swathed about the
bust and cut fairly low In the back.
A length Of the black lace outlines the
square, decolletage at the back. This
band. about six Inches AT the small q

wrapped type. and there ls black
lace train attached to the nNistllne at
the side.
Scarf Adds Distinctive Touch.
A most important movement In eve
ming dresses might be termed the
scarfiike movement. II appears on
many models and may be described In
this way: The silhouette Of straight
ehemise dress Is changed by attaching
a scarf to the hem of the skirt or to
the belt OF the dress. Scarfs starting
at the belt line always loop at the bot.
tom Of the dress and then up, forming
the bodice, swathing the shoulders
and falling down one side. These
searfs are Of the same material as
the dress.
This seasons evening dresses are
much less decollete than they have
been for some time past. All of the
models today show a rather high NECK
line for evening gowns.

BY Ten Years

parlsOn Of the December and the fol-
lowing March prices show that In 1917
and 1918 the March prices were lower
than the December prices, and In 1912
and 1914 they were slightly higher, al
though, allowing for shrinkage and
other losses of storage, they really
yielded a smaller return. That is, In
oil years having n production Of more
than 4OO,0O0,OOO bushels, the March
price was either lower than the De-
cember price, or the increase was neg
ligible. When the production has been
less than 375,000OO0 bushels, the price
has tended to increase as the season
advances. The farmer may judge for
himself whether the same factors will
apply to the present years crop, which
is estimated at 413,00O.OOO bushels by
the bureau Of crop estimates. and he
may apply his own conclusions in de-
Gliding when to sell his potatoes.
In comparing the prices of one year
with those of another. allowance must
he made for the rapid decrease during
the last few years In the purchasing
power of the dollar. For instance,
S1.61 per bushel in 1919 and so cents
per bushel In 1911 does not mean that
potatoes were twice as valuable Mt the
later date. The increase In price may
have had nothing to do with the pota-
to business. 1t may have come from
the general rise which increased the
price of wheat, clothing and machinery
as well as potatoes. The effects Of
the general Increase in prices must be
eliminated from the calculation.
Potato Exports Small
Before attempting to annlyze the re-
latlons between the figures OF pro-
ductiOn and stocks on the one hand
and prices on the other, II should be
mentioned that potatoes are not ex-
ported TO any great extent, seldom
more than l per cent of the crop be-
Ing carried out OF the country. Neither
are potatoes carried over from one sea-
son TO another, as Is the case with
some crops. That is, the potato crop
is practically nll consumed In this
country and each seasons crop is a
separate problem in itself.
This is one Of the large potato crop
years, and the way In which the ques-
ton OF time Of marketing is settled by
the individual farmer means an Inn
mense sum of money in the gross re-
turns from one OF the nations leading
crops. The wise grower will study ev-
cry phase Of conditions, and will utl!-
iZe the aids which are furnished nv

United States Department of Agricul-
ture.

Lowest In October.
Prices naturally are lowest In Octo-
her, when the crop is Gust out OF the
ground. A study recently made by the
bureau of markets Of the United States
Department Of Agriculture, covering
the last ten years, show. that the av-
crage price rises very Slightly until the
1st OF January. and then more rapidly
until the LIST of March, another sharp
advance taking place between April
iplanting season and June.
These are only averages, however,
and may be varied by many conditions
which the farmer has to study largely
for himself. Reasoning about future
prices Is unusually difficult at the pres
ent time.
A study of the general tendencies of
the market, whether up or down, must
be based on facts pertaining TO the
country as whole. The supply may
be less than usual In certain county.
but IL the total crop is large the size
OF this total crop will have q tendency
to lower prices even In this country OF
short production. Prices In that county
may be high, but they will not be so
high as they would have been IL the
total production Of the country had not
been so large. That Is, the conclusions
drawn from the broad and general In
formation may be modified by local
conditions In each sc sion, but II re-
mains true that each of these sections
will be influenced by the up and down
tendencies which move over the coun-
try as whole. A grower should know
the general situation in order to make
proper allowances for local conditions.
and he should not only study the DO
tato market but should consider the
size of the sweet potato and other
food crops which may influence the de.
mand and consumption of white pOta-
toes. He must watch, too, the trend of
general prices. especially food prices.

The resumption Of social life by the

The construction of the local dam
