The $ll,OO0.0O Balance Due
Will be Forthcoming at Once,
Say Leading Citizens.
MEETING HELD YESTERDAY
AT THE HOTEL SAVANNAH
President Edwards of the Sa-
yannah Board of Trade, Stat
ed That Savannah Morally
Contracted to Pay $4,000
on the Bridge, and Must
Abide by Its Pledged Word.

The 100000 balance due by the
citizens of Savannah OF: the 100000
sum pledged towards the building of
the Brunswick-Darien bridge, will be
forthcoming al once, according to in
formation received in the city last
night from Savannah, as a result of
a luncheon held at the Hotel Savan-
nah at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
at which ways and means to raise the
necessary funds were discussed.
The meeting was called by Chas. G.
Edwards, former congressman from
the First district, now president Of
the Savannah Board of Trade, and
was attended by leading business men
of Savannah, who pledged that the OBJ
legation would be fully met. BrMs
wick was represented at the gather
ing by Messrs. F. e. Fwitty and Geo
H. Smith, both of whom have render
ed valuable services in carrying out
the Altamaha bridge project.
In discussing the matter President
Edwards, OF the Savannah trade body,
stated that Savannah had morally
contracted" to pay $4,000 on this pro
ject, and that this pledge constituted
debt of honor" which the city could
not afford to ignore. 1t is now certain
that Savannah will discharge its obli-
cation in full, and it is believed thai
Jacksonville will do likewise, and that
the bridge will be thrown open to pub
lie use just as soon as it is complet
ed
Savannah Much Interested.
The people of Savannah are vitally
interested in the Altamaha bridge al
Darien, and it is believed that every
effort possible will be made by thai
city to boost the "seacoast" route OF
the Dixie Highway for tourist travel
to the exclusion of the Lane Bridge
route. Savannah's interest is natur-
ally with the Brunswick route. as well
as the interests of Augusta. and other
large cities, and the indications arr
that thousands of tourists will come
by way of Brunswick on their jour
ney to, Florida next winter.

Governor Dorsey's latest statement
in regard to the negro" situation, as
above stated. would indicate that the
chief executive of this great state
holds the opinion that the people of
Georgia are not "civilized" This in
situation is not likely to set we'll with
the people of the state, who take pride
in the fact that Georgia represents
about the purest Americanism to be
found in the country. and that the peo-
pie Of the state. generally. treat the
negro with fairness, and justice. 1t is
certain to bring about even more se-
we're condemnation of the incendiary
utterances of the governor.

Lower, Not Higher Prices,
Necessary for Prosperity

bushel and on Az bushels per barrel
Of flour. For the wheat in a barrel
of flour the farmer gets 1915. the
baker gets 1856: the restaurants get
about 500: and the big city hotels
get about $500. Yes, flour must come
down, and the various things which are
made of flour should come down also.
The future of the farmer depends
upon a readjustment of retail prices
and the bringing Of other commodities
to the level of his own, rather than
paving high prices for wheat, corn
and products Of the farm. We all give
too much thought to dollars and too
little thought to bushels. It is not
dollars that make the country richer.
We cannot eat them, we cannot wear
them. and they would be pretty hard
to sleep on. The country gets richer
thru increased production. What we
get in wages or pay for goods is OF
no account, excepting where foreign
trade Is considered.
We all should realise that whether
we are artists, lawyers, bricklayers,
Or. farmers, technically we are all ma
chimes. Cotton is not made from the
ground. Cotton is made from corn,
bacon and bread. Buildings are not
made from bricks and mortar. but
rather from ham and eggs. Clothes,
shoes and other products are not made
from raw materials and labor but
rather from groceries, provisions, ed
ucation, art, inspiration, and the other
fuel which feeds these divine ma
chimes.
The important thing for this winter
is to get all prices adjusted to the
new low basis. remembering it is not
what we get from our product, but
rather what we pay for the fuel Of
the machine and the amount that the
machine produces which determines
our prosperity.

FINANCIAL DIGEST
: THE WEEK IN BUSINESS =

downward swing of prices the pendu-
lnm should swing too far, and it is
| likewise inevitable that there should
be resultant upward swing. From
| the Indications in this business and
that it seems that better tone pre-
walls throughout all industries although
the amount of new business which has
begun to pour in is not by any means
of large proportions. 1t is signifi-
cant, however. that new business has
actually started, that losses have been
written off and that establishments in
many lines of business have been COM
! pleted, or in other words, that the
| foundations of business revival have
actually been laid.
| All developments in the bond market
during the past week were favorable.
The volume of trading increased con-
| siderably over the previous week and
! the trend Of prices generally was up
ward. Government bonds, both foreign
and domestic. reached high levels for
the year. New and undigested securi-
ties were taken off the market In SUBJ
stential volume. while the amount Of
new financing brought out was COM
paratively small. Bond houses gen
orally report a dearth Of offerings
and in many cases that their sa1esm en-
have little to offer outside Of open
market stuff. There is considerable
new financing in prospect, but most
of this seems still to be in the con-
ference room stage and there is little
telling when these securities will make
their appearance on the market.
Perhaps the best evidence OF the
tendency Of bond prices upward and
the trend Of money toward an easier
position is to be found in the fact that
in the new financing announced during
the week by the United States treas
ury department the rate was cut u of
/ per cent all around. The combined
offering amounts to 100000, 900, the
largest single offering by the govern
ment since the war. The pairing down
of the rates on these treasury obi
cations, which heretofore have always
been heavily oversubscribed, is con
sidered by bankers clear indication
that money rates both on short time
loans and long time investments will
gradually work lower. The attitude of
investors toward these new issues is
being watched with great interest
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1921-09-18

trend in commodities is a most fav-
orable factor, since lower prices-not
higher prices-are necessary for pros
perity.
The farmer for instance has done
his part to reduce the cost OF living
and bring back prosperity. Prices Of
most farm products are down to pre-
war levels. Considering the lessened
value Of the dollar farm products are
today selling lower than they have
ever sold. Moreover, this applies to
such comma dities "a rubber. and rice,
as well as to wheat and corn. The
farmer will find it very difficult to
make both ends meet this year, and he
should be considered a real patriot for
the work which he is doing.
What is true of the farmer. how
ever. is not true of the miller and
baker. Flour has not come down in
price to compare with the reduction
in the price of wheat. We are still
paying the baker too much for bread.
The other day I made the following
estimate, based on wheat at $3.50 a
