Farmers, like everybody else, will
have to economic. Farm labor,
like labor in every other line Of
industry, will hayeto come down.
Those who employ labor cannot
pay war prices, under present con

cooperation even in restoring
normal conditions.
The farmer has been bit hard,

ing the proposition il the correct
way, Grow only such crops as
can be put TO a profitable use.
Diversity your crops and be sure
to grow plenty Of feed and food
and do not-dependOn any one crop.
The south must grow some cot
ton, but grow it as a money crop
and not to secure money to buy
feed and food with. The farmer
should not have to depend on his
cotton to meet living expenses, but
as a surplus crop. 10 our opinion
the south would meet present con.
ditions and grow wonderfully
prosperous under such program.

FRIDAY, APRIL s, 1921
THE ROAD Law

Carroll County has new roaC
law. She gets q new law nearly
every two years. We do not know
whether the new law is better
law than the one it takes the place
Of or now. The new law has mol
been tried and the old one was not
given a fair trial.
10 fact this changing Of the law
every two years is exceedingly
unfortunate for the road keep
Of the county. AS a rule.the irst
year is spent in finding out what
the law is and getting the hands
organized under it, and second
year is spent in cussing out the law
and learning how to evade it.
It the new law is of any prac-
tical value and if there is a pos
sibility of any efficient road work
being done under it we hope it will
be promptly put into effect and
that the next legislature will be
barred from changing it.
What this county needs is some
good roads sentiment, some COM
munity pride, and doing away
with the idea that one must be
paid for every lick Of work done
on public road even though the
repair is needed near his home.
This unfortunate condition, how
ever, grows out of the evils
fact that the roads of Car
roll county are just as good as the
citizens of the county want them
TO be. Our citizenship is lacking
in progressiveness and community
pride. Our homes, churches,
schoOIhouses and roads are main
tanned in such a way as to verify
the statement that we are lacking
in home and community pride.
There has been some progress or
improvement along this line DUR
ing the last few years, but nothing
like SO rapid as it should be. Tie
people should become aroused on
this subject and this should be
made a record-b reaking year in
making advancement along the
lines suggested.

BREAK IN ST. PAUL
UPSET THE MARKET
General Reaction in Last Hour
Followed Selling Of the
Rails

New York, Dec. 7.-Overnikht con.
sideration of President Harding's mes
sage and the settlement Of the Irish
question brought out clearly the con.
structivo lines of each Of these incl
dents, and nt the same time strengthen
ed the hands Of the supporters Of the
forward market swing. In great many
ways the days stock market was a
complete counterpart Of the operations
Of yesterday and Monday. 1t was again
largely speciality affair. indicating
continued evening up by the profess
sionnls. That Is TO say recent spccu-
lative favorites have fallen into tho
background for the time being at least.
While readjustments and digestion Of
. new price level are proceeding. new
speclaltics were taken up in order to
keep attention ccntered on the CON
Structivc side. One diSquieting devel-
opment was the pronounced weakness OF
Pennsylvania Railroad and the st. Paul
shares.
Surh n program was practically fol-
lowed throughout the morning, by
which process The COrpers. motors and
their accessories, some few oils and one
or two railroad shares were made tho
leading attractions. Practically all the
motors and rubber issues got into high
ground on the move, with Studcbaker
featuring the group. In the spccialties
Famous Players and the merchandising
shares we're the leaders. The latter
continued TO bc featured by chain
stores including Mays Department,
Krcsge and Woolworth. At the same
time the coppe-s were we'll supported,
as were also the textiles, chemical and
CCnd spc'iulties.
Lchigh Valley and Canadian Pacific
represented the rails. Lphigh Valley
made a new high for the year. above
GO, which had q strengthening effect
uron the other Coalers. Canadian Pa
rifc made the widest gain of over z
points The movement was associated
with the surprising results Of Ycstcr-
days elections in Canada. 1t is under.
stood the election results assure the
adoption of the plan whereby tn.
Canadian Pacific is taking over all
other roads now operated by the
Government. In return Canadian Pa
rific. II is stated. is to be guaranteed
tho present dividend on the stock by
tho Government, which would virtually
place the stock in the bond class.
The importance Of the settlement oi
the Irish question was directly reflected
in the strength Of sterling, which reach
ed the highest level touched since Novem-
Der, 1919. when it started on its long
| downward movement at the time Of tht
| beginning Of the defation credit cam.

cross currents, the line OF least resist
ance continued to be met on the upwart
swings. There was apparently quite
good deal Of uneasness among thu
