There Must be More Business Itian Usual
WRIGHT-HALL-MARQUETTE.

Howard E. Coffin, of the Advisory.Commission of the Council of
Defense, says: "No radically new condition confronts us. State
activities, road building, public works, private industries, all must
so on as before. Business must be increased, labor employed and
the country kept going ahead as a successfully .economic machine.
We must have successful industries if successful tax levies are to 1 e
raised."
There should be no curtailment iij building and road construc-
tion. Let both public and private useful construction proceed.
Production and handling of budding materials and public and pr'.
(vate construction work are fun lam jntal industries of the counlrj.
Any tendency to suspend or pntp ine building projects is inconsist-
ent with maintaining our prosperity. The country is prosperous.
Building investors should not hesitate to go ahead with their plans.
Railroads should spare no effort to supply the building industry
with the cars needed to transport materials. Government, state,
county and municipal authorities should encourage the continuance
of all kinds of building. Road and street improvements in particu-
lar should go on unabated. Bad roads and 'streets are factors of
first importance in the present high cost of foodstuffs. Never be-
fore was the improvement of highways so essential.
The lumber, brick, cement, lime, sand, gravel, stone and other
building materials industries are basic. Neither Government regu-'
lations nor railroad restrictions should be imposed unnecessarily to
interfere with them. If any action is taken which results in the
prostration of so fundamentally important industries, there is real
danger of a surplus of unemployed labor, a surplus of railroad cars
and a crippling of business that will seriously embarrass the Gov-
ernment in financing the war.

Some people say that "pigs is

j Campbell Circus has a troup of
trained pigs that have almost
human intelligence. Prof. Furre
also has trained dogs and ponies.
Another feature of this circus
is a troup of young ladies appear-
ing in living statuary, represent-
ing the work of both ancient and
modern sculpters. This act is
equal to those carried by t«e
largest shows in the world.
They also have a military act
that stirs thu patriotic blood of

PAINTED THE GIN
A crew of workmen visited
Davenport the latter part of last
week and painted the cotton gin
near the Santa Fe station. We
learn that this gin is now owned
by the Stroud Cotton Oil Co.,;
who intend to run it this season.
The crew of men are from Mc-
Loud and former acquaintances
of Ye Editor. They are C. R.
Arrington, Thos. V. Anderson,
Ed G. Whitsou, Arthur and
Leighton Lyle. They have gone
to Depew to work on another
gin while waiting for some new
machinery to arrive at this place.
