Pushing ROad Construction.

Road building is being pushed along
very rapidly between Sharpsburg and
Shepherdstown this week. The sec
ton from the west limit of the town
to the railroad station is almost COM
pleted, and makes lovely stretch of
road along the government avenue.
Work has been started on the long
hill opposite Shepherdstown, LEADING
from the river bridge to the crest of
the hill above the mansion house on
Ferry Hill Farm. The roadway on
the hill will be of concrete slightly
roughened, as the asphalt would be too
slippery for so steep a hill, il is said.
This will be the next section TO be
finished, as it is desired to work the
concrete before cold weather sets in.
The contractors are making a perfec.
road from Keedysville to Shepherds
town, and it will make this route to
the South more popular than ever.
The West Virginia authorities should
not delay in meeting the good roads OF
our Maryland neighbors.

he says: "I keep my stomach and bowels in good condition with Sanalt." If you ask him what Sanalt is he will tell you that it is the Sensible Tonic, and it has been made for nearly hundred years and that he has used it to very great advantage.
 Mir. Kassino says: "N course, l am sometimes troubled with constipation or indigestion. No one could reach my time of life and lead the active existence that l do, without feeling the effects of being over-taxed, but whatever the trouble is just take Sanalt for a week or 50, and am it again. It seems to make my whole system go straight. It surely keeps my complexion good by acting upon the blood, and never have to be afraid of what am going to eat if there is Sanalt bottle nearby" .,r...
 You can cover up . bad complexion with powder and rouge, but you cannot clear it up except by purifying the blood, improving digestion and correcting tho bowels. Sanalt does all these, therefore, Sanalt, the Sensible Tonic, IS trus beauthes.

BUSINESS REVIVAL IS NOT GENERAL,
 ACCORDING TO ROGER BABSONS TALK

Wellesley Hills, Dec. 2.--Roger w. Babson today called attention. to a very important fact in discussing the general industrial revival,
 Expressions hit the country very much like storms" says MT. Babson, ''and just as they affect different To- calities of the country in regular se- ouence they also affect the different divisions of our business world in diff ferent degrees and at different times.
 The fact that a depression ordinar- fly starts in the northeast works south and west, finishing its. course in Cali fornia. Is clearly, evident from sta tistical study of the situation. If we look at the business world we find 1t dividing itself into four big divisions and we find that tho business depres- sion traces it's regular course through this industrial fabric.
 First, there is the raw materials group, or iron and steel companies, coppers and oils crop and live stock producers. Second there is the trans portation group. the railroads and steam ships. Third, there is the

 Then comes the next act in the result of curtailed manufacturing, we get slump in the raw materials group. When shoe factory shuts down, orders for leather shrink. When q textile mill closes, demand for cot ton and wool dies down. So this ini- tial weakness in the northeast spreads to the west and the south. The west and the south are the home of the raw materials group.
 AS traffic In finished goods and raw materials subsidies. there is les sened activity for the transportation group. The railroads fall into line on the downward march,
 "The tragedy closes with the last act, namely the downfall of the dis tributing group. numbering the great mass of retailers scattered through out the entire country who are caught with high cost goods. Tho economic curtain falls on land sunk in almost universal depression.
 We have just seen all this enacted before our eyes. With this sequence of events still fresh in memory. a business man is blind, indeed, who cannot foresee the pageant of return ing prosperity. Manufacturing activ- ity has resumed The northeast is well advanced on recovery. The south and to some extent the west are look ing better as the raw materials grouT begin to struggle to their feet. Cal surplus has changed to car shortage retiecting and measuring the reviva of the transportation group.
 "But the final stage is still before us. We have yet to witness full re- sumption among the great rank ant file of retailers who constitute the ina group of the big four, and trading group.
 'Therefore, l estimate that i'm movement is not yet general and tha' the best is yet to come, when all tho big four groups shall participate 1T prosperity. Those who apprehenc that the bull movement in the stock market is at an end, might well ques- ton whether recovery can in any sense be complete with the enormous distributing group still to be heard from.
 "It is true, of course, that tht stocks of the so-called trading corpo rations show a substantial advance
New Britain herald., 1922-12-02

This Is partly because the stock mar ket discounts the successive steps in business revival. But q more import ant reason is that the trading eorpo- ratfons, so-calicd, with their immense national qualifications tend to part company with the smaller individual retailer and move more in harmony with the other groups.
 ''If you are q retailer, don't get dis couraged If your Aalcs seem to lag behind general business, This is merely the working out of. economic laws. Your turn will come--and he who ilaughs last sometimes laughs best. If you are m investor. sug- gest that the bull market--so far as the long swing is concerned--will not finally culminate until improvement is general. Improvement cannot be general until shared bysthe millions of big and little retailers in cities and cross roads throughout the entire sna- tion,"s

manufacturing group with its auto mobile factories, textile mills and the other fabricators of finished products. Fourth and finally there is the distri- button group headed by the wholesale houses, mail order firms. chain stores and finishing with the multitude of retail establishments.
 Now what happens to these big four groups when a business depres- sion hits the country? The first to suffer is the manufacturing group. This is partly the result of financial stringency. Take the recent depres- sion 1t appeared first among shoe factories, textile mills. and other fac- tories In a broad way these are con- centrated in the northeast section of the country. and 1t was exactly in this region that trouble first appeared. This was entirely characteristic. It is what happened also in earlier periods of business depression. Farsighted executives foresaw long in advance that this would be the first part of the country to weaken, because 1t if the home of the manufacturing group.

FUTILE WILL FIGHT
At Least Four Documents Are Likely to Be Introduced Into Court Action of Late New Haven Politician.

New Haven, Dec. 2.--It was ex- pected today that when the questions come up in probate court next Mon- day as to admission of a will made by Dwight w. Futile, a former state senator, lawyer and long active Tn republican politics, in his home town of East Haven and in the state three wills will be before the court besides mention of fourth one offered yes terday. This last named document was made in 1882. The most recent one was dated June z, 1922, prior one October, 1921, and an earlier one February, 1920.t The contest. it is understood, revolves around the will of 1920 in which Tuttle's former sec retary, Mrs. Cora D. Amos was to have two-thirds of the estate, the other third being left in trust for his widow.
 The names of former Senator Tut tie and Mrs. Amos had previously been linked because of certain al legged real estate transactions and the conservator for Futile has suit or $75,ooo against Mrs. Amos pending because of these transactions.
