The PIKE ROAD

The real value to Washington
of the pike roads being con-
structed south and west can
hardly be realized until in
use for a while. The sand roads
leading into town have been
taking heavy toll from all who
have travelled them for years,
and to replace these with per-
manent hard surfaced roads
will mean a great deal. Espec-
tally is this true of the streets,
where traffic has been heavy
and in some places the sand
has been churned into chug
holes that have been almost i'm
passible. In recent years some
relief has been obtained by vol
unteer workers who have clayed
over some of the sand, but only
narrow, thin layers were put
down and the benefit was only
temporary. With the surface
sand removed and a six inch
layer of clay, thirty feet wide,
put down and six inches of grav-
ell on top of this, we should have
something to be proud of. The
layer of clay will retain the
moisture in the sand under
meath, keeping it firm, and the
gravel coating will hold the
clay in place. With roads like
this leading out the traveller,
instead of trying to find a way
around Washington, will go sew
eral miles out of his way to get
to us. A big step forward, we
call it. 49,, :,

International news and the recent
action of the foreign exchange market
has prepared us for developments OF I'M
portance. Therefore, the cable from
Paris, published by a local news agency,
telling of an authorization by the inter-
allied reparatiOn commission for Ger
man loan, comes at a time when the
public mind is prepared for it and II
this should be verified, 1t is easy to see
what an immense field, with new
possibilities. is opened. go
These steps. one by one, beginning with
the disarmament conference, and logically
leading on to an international economic
conference, are all steps in the direction
of world peace, and therefore, in time, to
world prosperity.
How different things appear today
when you look back but few short years
to the chaotic State in the world at the
close of the great war. We are making
history, we are making progress and,
wonders in having passed through the
drastic period of liquidation within the
memory Of men, and we are now en-
riched with a stock of gold and bank re-
sources so fabulous that no undertaking
could be so large as to be beyond the
financial ability of the country.
With such a foundation there need be
no worry about business. Business viii
come in volume sufficient to suit all
1t is merely a matter of time. Eacn
month that passes brings US nearer to the
realization of our hopes, and it is this
condition which is daily expressed In the
constant rise in values.
We continue of the same opinion that
we have daily expressed in these letters,
and recommend the purchase of stocks
on every reaction.

as whole, is dominated by the heavy

ket on December contracts are not being

that the crop report showing final yield

acreage correspond with census re-
