America in Old Clothes

Country merchants and their buyers now coming into town for their seasons stock.up of goods are filled with the belief that everybody throughout the land is in desperate need of q new suit of clothes and a new pair of shoes. and cannot much longer keep from the retail markets a huge and clamorous demand along these lines at least.
 That the American people as q rule are now uncommonly under clothed and shabbily clothed at that, is hardly to be questioned. The great popular strike against high prices started nearly a year ago, and that is q long time for thinly furnished wardrobes to go without replenishment. Count less numbers of people. including those of the we'll to-do classes. had taken to repairing and wear. ing their old suits and shoes be- fore the war was over. and they did this less as a protest against high prices than as a help in buy ing Liberty bonds and winning
 the war. But they also joined the strike of early last summer and have continued on, and theirs Is a still longer time to be down at the heel and out at the elbow.
 These merchants and wholesale
 buyers are undoubtedly right. The country needs a new set of
 wearing apparel and wants a new set, and it's now historic strike against eXtortionate prices has l been go effective that It can al ford to buy a new set as prices are presently running.
 But only as prices stay down within reach. Those who avs lonking for great buying mar ket 10 break loose along this line should keep that fact in mind. Our manufacturers in particular should have learned this severe 1 lesson of America in old clothes too well to be rushing f,to Wash ington just now with their an cient tariff schemes of protection in boosting up prices again. - New York World.

We place public improvements in the hands of men we believe are men of business ability. but the fact that a man has amasscd a fortune buying calico at 4 cents and selling 1t at l5 cents is no indication that he can success fully manage the job of building a half million dollar bridge, the details of which he is in absolute ignorance, and against whom are pitted shrewd men who know every detail and behind whom are learned lawyers ready to pick a flaw in any iron-clad contract.
 We nee6 a different system of handling these public improve ments. Our present way is un- fair to the commissioners and contractor and costly to the tax payers. We blame men when the system should be censurcd.

Want Road Finished

A large delegation of men from the west end of the county came in Monday to see the Commits sioners of Road District No. l and lay before them tne condi- ton of the road over which they have to haul crops to market.
 There are about five miles of the highway torn up and left un- finished at that end and the farm CTS have been forced to take to tine ditches or over rocks to get to Mulberry. Strawberries will be ready for market before many months and they are in hopes something can be done to make a road which will not ruin the Der. ries before reaching market.
 The Southern Improvement Company. which has the con- tract. is recognizing and can dd nothing before that is completed.
 The commissioners assured the citizens who were here that tho road would be finished as soon as possible. They recognized that they had a just cause for com plaint, but the commissioners could do nothing just now.
 The people of Crawford count, have protited by our road troubles and have fixed it so that not ovel two miles of road can he torn ul l at once, and they will not be com pelled to have over five miles O. almost impossible roads.
 However, the present condition could not be foreseen. and thu contractors tore up what the. pleased, having no clause in th' contract to prevent.
