LIBERTY BONDS
SHOW DECLINE
Much Surprise Caused BY Reaction
Which Tends to, Unsettle Prices.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2O.-Liquldation
OF liberty bonds at extreme overnight
declines OF 70 cents to $1.24 per 500
and from 50 to $3.7o from their high
records OF a month ago tended to un-
settle prices on the stock exchange
today.
No explanation accompanied the re-
action, which oecasioned much surprise
in quarters where only recently par
had been predicted for some Of these
issues before the years end.
The speculative character of the
days operations was evidenced, how
ever, by the fact that most liberty
issues recovered a considerable part OF
their losses before the close. on what
seemed to be short covering.
Dealings in the entire bond list on
the exchange approximated 10000, 900,
and Of this total the turnover in lib
erty issues represented almost so per
cent.

them and thought that he would also get
10 carry them in for hoboinE. For some
reason he did not get them, but he said
that he did not think that they boarded
the train.
The crank Of the car has been found
and is was considerably bent and twisted.
And there was a dent on the left door Of
the csr-the drivers side-and the bend
Of the crank just fits in the dent. The
hinge OF the door was also bent, which
shows that it had been opened with much
force.
1t is the belief Of those who are con-
Quoting the search and those who are
familiar with every detail brought to light
that the man was not killed on the spot
where the car was found. but that he
was victimized in some other part Of
the city, and his body disposed OF, the
thugs later driving the car TO the spot
near the railroad and there making an
attempt to board the outgoing train and
make their getaway.
This is a complete resume OF the de-
tails of the case that have been discov-
cred so far. but it seems TO go this far
and no farther. Every officer throughout
the adjoining states has been notified to
keep a close watch for the missing men.
and 1t is reported that there are several
special detectives working on the case
with a hope Of solving the mystery.

ticularly noticeable in the fall. On
December 1st, growers still held 67
per cent of the crop {17,400 cars) as
compared to SO per cent $500 carsl
the previous year.
Because Of the dull market and low
present prices, it is doubtful if all of
the 25,9O0 cars of Wisconsin potatoes
will ever be marketed. In fact, it is
estimated that to date 6.4 per cent of
the U. S, Grade No. 1 potatoes have
been fed to livestock In addition,
$40 per cert of the Grade No. and
culls have been fed to livestock.
The prospective acreage for 1921,
based upon reports of growers inten-
tions as regards planting, will be only
93.4 per cent of the 1920 acreage.
With ample and cheap seed and lower
labor costs, favorable planting sea-
son will undoubtedly see larger acre
age than present intentions indicate.

WISCONSIN FOR
GOOD ROADS

MADISON-Wit 159 miles of con-
crete road surfacing already contract
ed for this year, Wisconsin is in second
place in pushing construction on paw
ed roads, surpassed only by New York
State, which has contracted for 1866
miles, with California in third place.
No other state has contracted for 100
miles. Michigan is in sixth place,
while Iowa and Illinois are far back
in the race.
State Highway Engineer A. R. Hirst
reports that as the result of the push
ing of the construction program, on
not only concrete, but gravel and earth
roads, approximately 5000 men are
now engaged in highway construction,
relieving the unemployment situation.
In addition to the 159 miles of con-
crete surfacing contracted for thus far
this year, there is 81 miles of held
over work contracted for last year,
making a total of 210 miles. Con-
tracts have not yet been let for 81
miles, for which plans have been
drawn. This years concrete surfac-
ing program will run to $50 miles, a
record breaker for Wisconsin.
Equally rapid progress is being
made on gravel surfacing and earth
road work. Approximately 1000
miles of earth road construction will
be done this year and about 1900
miles of gravel surfacing. By the end
of the year $500 miles of construction
will have been finished, far surprising
that of any previous year. The high
way department has wisely protected
itself on all contracts, so that the
state will receive the benefits of any
reduction in freight rates or fall IN
prices of road materials.
Some highly important road pro-
jects are under way. From the pres
ent outlook one may drive from Mil
waukee to Oconomowoc at the end of
this year on concrete. Contracts for
ten miles east from Oconomowoc
have been let and bids asked for the
five mile stretch to Pewaukee. Work
O be done in Washington, Fond du Lac
and Winnebago counties will enable
one to drive the 124 miles between
Milwaukee and Green Bay on concrete
at the end of this year, all but about
fifteen miles in Washington county.

STRAIGHT TALK
ABOUT ROADS

What is meant by a Good Road?
Let's get down to fundamentals. A
good road is one which is always
ready and safe for all kinds of traffic.
A path in the woods may be a good
road-for few men, but increase the
number of men and the path soon be-
comes muddy or dusty-a bad road.
A dirt road may be good road-for a
vehicles; but multiply the vehicles in
number and weight, and the dirt road
becomes bad road. So, to save money
and serve traffic, the road is paved to
keep it good.
What should be expected from a
paved road A surface which will re-
main even and regular-unchanged by
the hammering of heavy vehicles.
Modern traffic moves rapidly and the
wheels deliver an impact far greater
than that of horsedrawn traffic. If
the material Of which the surface is
constructed has not the rigidity and
strength to sustain the weight and
Impart Of passing loads, the surface
will be deformed into waves, holes, or
cuts and the quality of evenness will
be lost. A bad road-or pavement
is one that no longer has an even and
regular surface. Obviously, if a paved
road is to remain unaffected by
i5he ceaseless hammer and grind of
heavy trafic-it must be rigid, be-
cause only a rigid, nm-yielding pave
ment can distribute the concentrated
weight and impact of heavy wheel
.oads over large area of the under
lying soil. That's one reason why
road buildings prefer concrete for
highway pavements Concrete is al
ways rigid-no matter how hot the
day. 1t is always ready to carry the
load without yielding.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1921-04-21
H.C.L. AND WAGES

A graphic and concise exhibition is
given in the New York Evening Post
of the relationship between the move
ments of wages and of the cost of
living, based upon the authentic data
of the United States Bureau of Labor
Statistics and of the National Indus
trial Conference Board.
In this the figures prevailing in the
fall of 1915 are taken as par, in both
wages of artisans and the cost of liv-
ing, also of artisans and their families
The figures show, of course, gen
eral parallel between the two move
ments, though with some significant
Emergencies.
Thus the maximum increase in cost
of living, attained last summer, was
1O5 per cent.
The maximum increase in wages, at
tanned last fall, was 127 per cent.
Thus while the two increases began
substantially together, that in wages
lasted longer and went higher than
that in cost of living.
Again, after each movement had
passed it's peak, the fall in cost of
living almost exactly eoincided with
that in wages. Thus on February 15
last. wages had declined from 127 to
only 80 per cent above the figures of
1915, a decrease of So points, while
by the end of the same month the cost
of living had fallen from lO5 to 6I
per cent above the figures of 1915,
also decrease of 38 points. But the
latter decrease is really the greater
of the two, for it marks decline of
36.2 per cent from the maximum cost
of living, while the other means only
80 per cent fall from the peak of
wages.
Thus it would seem that wages rose
higher and more rapidly than cost of
living, and that cost of living is fall
ing more rapidly and lower than
wages.
