The Real Question ::
What is the Best Way for Hammond ::
to Get the Best Transportation? ::
There are only two kinds of trans !.
portation to be considered-streetc cars :
! Or jitneys. J.
We believe it is clear that these two :.
systems can only be developed in the :
same community at the expense of :.
each other. :.
If the street railway company gets :.
new cars, builds new lines and puts :.
on additional service, the jitney bust =
ness will be hurt,-fewer jitneys can :.
! afford to operate. -
If the jitneys increase and i'm par !.
ticular, take the fair weather, short :.

cannot afford and would not be war =
ranted in buying new cars, building :
extensions and putting on additional :
service.

Business Topics

st. Paul, MINI, May 5.-Prelim-
mary April reports show decided
Improvement in railway earnings
in this section. The roads are pre-
pairing for a big season by added
purchases of equipment and IN
creased activity in maintenance
work.
New Orleans, La, May 5.-Un-
employment is rapidly decreasing
here. This is due to the increased
activity in shipments for export
through this port, the revival of the
sugar refining industry and the ex-
pansion of the working forces or
the lumber companies in the woods
and mills.
Cleveland, Ohio, May 5.-Building
operations here show a decrease for
the first four months of this year
as compared with similar period
of 1921. This is attributed to the
labor dissensions and strikes
which have affected the building
trades.
Grand Rapids, Mich, May 5.-The
Pere Marquette railroad is hand
ling an average of 1000 freight
cars a day compared with 1900 a
day during December and January.
The increase is due to resumption
of work in automotive plants and
activity in furniture factories.

ATLANTA.
Atlanta, Ga, May 5.-The recent
rise in the price of cotton, amount
ing to approximately $40 a bale for
the new crop months has had a
heartening effect throughout the
southeast, particularly in the rural
communities and has improved the
already optimistic view of the fu-
ture. Sentiment here is decidedly
bullish and prediction of 20 cent
cotton before the month is out are
freely made. Basic economic con-
ditions are showing slow but GER
tain improvement.
The tendency of country mer-
chants to buy more freely, mani
tested first a week ago, has be-
come more general in all lines. Col
lections are decidedly better. Froz-
en- credits which have been worry
ing the smaller banks, are thawing
and old accounts are being liQui-
dated rapidly.
Retail trade here is brisk and
consumers are buying freely when
good values are offered. Merchants,
accordingly are keeping we'll stock
ed in anticipation of continued de-
mand throughout the summer. Ad-
ditional men are being employed
on railroads and on public works.

ST. LOUIS.

o.. Louis, Mo, May 5.--Contrary
though the various individual
movements OF the business lines
in this section may be. the funda-
mental business conditions are be-
ing constantly bettered. Retail bus
mess is comparatively dull, collec-
tons are fair and wholesale bust
ness is moderate. Yet in retail
trnde some lines are fiourishing
while others are quiet. 1t is good
in some districts and slack in 9TH
ers. Wholesalers report similar in
dications but the signs of steady
and healthy improvement in all
basic industries are plainly evil
dent and a great volume OF capital
is seeking investment.
The demand for investments is
the most significant factor at the
present In the past months big
capital has been in the market. but
now the trend is evident among
those of smaller means. The coun-
try banks are taking commercial
paper as fast as il is offered, indi-
institutions.
improvement in construction ac-
tivity is another prominent symp-
tom OF business betterment. In the
mining towns of the district the eff
fects of the coal strike are appar-
ent and floods have injured bust
ness in river sections and in the
iobbing centers. Savings accounts
are showing satisfactory increases
in the industrial centers.
