A DOUBLE TRACK FOR TIE USE
OF PUBLIC

Monroe, La.-Good road advocates
are watching a new type of highway
construction in Ouachita parish. Last
spring a falf-mile Of the new type
was built near this city on the Mon.
roe-Columbia road. This fall two
thirds Of mile is being built as a
link in the Dixie Overland Highway,
in West Monroe.
The new type is based on the prin-
ciple Of a double-track railroad, un-
der what is known as the Moore pa.
tent. The inventor Mr.. Moore, was
formerly construction engineer of the
Atlantic division of the Southern Pa
cific railroad.
In the construction work under way
in West Monroe, the reinforced con
crete tracks are made with molds,
and with the exception Of the con-
crete mixing machine the work IS
done entirely by hand labor The
double concrete tracks are made so
that they will accommodate the wheels
of all vehicles.
The intervening space between the
concrete tracks is filled with gravel,
rolled and given a tarvia covering.
This gives a hard surface to the en-
tire road. The road is built with
double tracks so that vehicles travel
ing in one direction will not inter-
fere with those travelling in the OPP
posite direction.
The half-mile built on the Monroe
Columbia road last spring cost $4,000.
The two-thirds of a mile under con-
struction in West Monroe will cost
$14, $50.

FALL PLANTING ADVANTAGES
Trees Are Placed in New Location
With the Least Amount of
Time in Storage.

Fall planting has the advantage Of
getting the trees into their new loca-
ton with the least amount Of time in
storage, and trees set out in the fall
will make some root growth during
the winter and be in good shape to
start into growth in the spring.
There is generally more time for
planting in the fall than in the spring
and the work. can be done In better
shape,

Garden Cultivation,

Sometimes deep cultivation in the
garden does more harm than good
because it cuts off the roots. All that's

Corn Makes Best Sil,ae.

Silage is the best and cheapest form
in which to store succulent feed. Many
forage crops can be made into silage,
but corn, where it can be grown sue
cessfully, makes the best silage.

Little Hope for Lower Prices.

Garment manufacturers are but slight
lv encouraged by generally lower prices
in the women's wear field as q result
of the American Woolen Company's an
nouncement. The big factor. according
to g yeral manufacturers, is not the
price os The raw product but the cost
of labor. which II is claimed is holding
production costs at an abnormal level.
Until labor agrees to take a reduction
or TO work more hours week. manu-
facturers claim, no substantial reduction
IN prices can be expected.

Cotton Goods sales Few.

Manufacturers Of muslin and cotton
goods underwear view the coming spring
season with gloom. partly because Of
low prices announced by the big woolen
trade factor. Another Important reason
is that great part Of the Eastern mills

due to the farmers distressed condition.
For the coming season the cotton mills
will have to depend on large Eastern
centers for the bulk of their sales. Be-
cause demand here is mostly for silks
and woolens. cotton goods manufactur-
ers have little hope of capturing any
great amount Of business.

those prices was reported by second

were without feature. A better tone
was evident in the local burlap market
and a fair amount Of business was done
in spots and nearby goods at 4.05 and
90 cents. The Calcutta market was
