Belfast Augusta
Highway ASSN. to
Be Organized
Ask Start on Work

Plans have been completed for the
formation of the BelfaSt-Augusta
Highway Association, the purpose of
which will be to agitate interest in
the construction of the highway be-
tween these two cities.
Following the hearing of this pro-
posed construction held at the recent
meeting of the Governor and Coun-
Gil. a meeting was held of citizens
residing along the route and n COM
mittee was appointed, one member
from each town. to form a perman-
ent organization for the purpose of
setting forth the need of this pro-
posed highway. Mayor o. Z. Frost of
Belfast was named chairman of the
committee and William J. Thomp-
son of South China, secretary.
This committee will hold meetings
along the route to arouse interest in
the matter and secure large men,
bership for the association.
File Petition for Road to be Started
\ request that the State Highway
Commission begin construction of
this highway this season. even If no
more than a mile is built now, Is
contained in the following petition
signed by about % citizens of Lib
erty. Searsmont. Belmont. Belfast,
Palermo and China:
ITO the Honorable State Highway
Commission.
Gentlemen:
I'VE. the undersigned, wish to ex-
press our deep appreciation of your
favorable comment on the Augusta
Belfast Highway, at the hearing held
recently.
There has been so much dissatis-
faction over its condition and such
intense disappointment that the be-
ginning, which was expected from
year to year. has not been made.
that doubt Is expressed that we shall
see the work started soon.
The people are so deeply ag-
grieved that they have been obliged
to wait so long, with the road prac-
tically not passable, while other
roads of no more Importance have
received attention. that we feel they
should receive some assurance that
there can be no change of plans
when funds are available, which
will again delay the building.
| I'VE therefore earnestly request
your Honorable Body, that you be-
| gin construction this season. even If
not more than one mile, that they
may know of your good intention

mentally. therefore, interest rates are low today because the demand for money is comparatively small. But oth- CT clements enter into the situation, which it is important to understand since money is n dominant factor in our business life.
 It happens that at time when busi- ness is not calling for funds the United States has on its hands an unprecedent- ed amount of gold which is not paying it's way. But more than this is the fact that banking interests, aided by the federal reserve system, are today striving to better control the use of money than they did formerly.
 Thus it occurred last year, when business skies appeared bright and clear, that banks refused to loan funds widely for speculative use. Money was available for those who needed it to use wisely, but rampant speculation upon nothing more solid than apparent rosy future prospects was averted.
 Conversely, money is being released today for another purpose-to tide business over a rough place. In former days it was difficult to secure funds when business was poor. Today money is being employed not only to prevent prosperity based upon a quicksand foundation, but also to help business in the hour of need by preventing dras- tic depressiOns.

IRON AND STEEL
 NEARING NORMAL
Market Stabilizing Rapidly, Says
 Iron Trade Review

CLEVELAND, O., July 17.-Iron Trade Review today says: Underlying conditions in iron and steel appear to be approaching the final stages of the recent process of readjustment. This is making for a better outlook for some revival of market activity in the near future Developments this week point to such raw material markets as pig iron, scrap and coke being near or at the termination of long price declines and the return of more stabilized busi- ness Some fair buying is appearing in these materials. In finished steel, how ever, buyers are moving cautiously; and, while they are releasing some ton mage, the situation still shows an ab- sence of the confidence essential to liberal activity. As a consequence, the change in the week-to-week bookings of the mills continues slight.
 Operations show a shade of better ment. Two blast furnaces have gone in in the Mahoning and Shenango val leys, which has been offset by the ces- sation of another furnace at Chicago. A Cleveland steel works has added two open hearth furnaces to it's active list, largely due to company releases of sus- pended automobile steel orders. Steel making operations at Pittsburg are put at 40 to 50 per cent

COTTON LETTER

NEW YORK, July. 17.-Nervousness over the Texas weather was the cause of a better Liverpool this morning, our market opening some 20 points over last night; and, after hesitating again, turned strong and advanced to new high levels under the influence of de- tailed reports of the weather in Texas, showing many stations there with tenn peratures from 100 to 107 degrees.
 Unquestionably, this heat in Texas will check the plant, and if it continues will cause 1t to deteriorate. Rain in the next week would save the situation. On the other hand, if rains do not come, deterioration will be extremely rapid. If it were not for the government esti- mate, which is to be issued on Mon day, July 21, the market would be controlled largely by the conditions prevailing over Texas.

Cap italizat tions were grossly inflated Stocks consisting largely of water were listed on the New York stock exchange and foisted upon the public at unwar ranted prices. The most notable mer- ger of all was, of course, that of the United States Steel Corporation. It is said to have made a hundred mil honsires. Its common stock was we'll watered, and after the tumult and shouting ceased it sank to below $9 share, after having been palmed off on the public in large quantities higher even than $50 a share.

defensive, so to speak. Some of them could point to no service rendered at all in keeping with the amount of mon ey they had. taken from the public. Instead of being blindly envied the multimillionaire began to be eyed criti- cally.
 Also, the possession of millions didn't always bring all the blessings antici- pated. Many men discovered that gold alone could not gain them the things they most coveted. It could not al ways elevate the owner and his family to the higher ranks of society. It could not always open the doors of exclusive clubs. 1t failed miserably in many instances to bring domestic har- mony very often it brought scandal. It ceased to bring fame
 All this, as 1 analyze it, has had an influence in bringing about the extra ordinary development we are now wit messing, namely, the handing over of successful businesses by the owners to their co-workers.
 Rockefeller and Carnegie at once spring to mind. But could the whole truth be spread on the record the num- Der of mem who have given away sums ranging from half million to scores ot millions of dollars, would ast6und the world. For every Eastman and Baker and Morgan and Hecksher, whose munificent gifts become knowno there are scores and hundreds who succeed in keeping their large-scale benevolences from raching the newspapers. More and more our financial and business leaders find deep satisfaction in doing things for others. More and more of our rich men prefer to do good deeds during their lifetime than to hoard their money until death releases their clutch on it.
