by numerous

and destruction. When he enter
ed his field, he was almost stag-
gered to find his cotton beaten to
the ground, all the tender growth
being knocked off by the hail
and the ground littered with bolls
and squares. In the watermelon
patch, watermelons were punc-
tured by the hail stones, which
penetrated entirely through the
rind. As evidence of the size of
the stones, lie stated that some of
the holes, were the size of a
man’s small finger.
Mr. Smith had about 65 acres
in cotton, and while the hail did
not cover the entire cotton acre-
age, what it missed was some
very late cotton, which had been
planted dry and had just come
up since the last rains. Natur-
ally it has but little chance of
making any cotton.

1). II. Henderson was here
from the Lost Greek community
Wednesday and reported Monday
afternoon’s rain as having been
accompanied by a destructive
w ind and hail, which caused con-
siderable damage. Fortunately,
but a narrow strip of country
was affected, the area covered
being about half a mile w ide and
a mile in length, and located east
of and extending almost up to
the town. Some buildings were
damaged, and the cotton beat
down by hail stones the size of a
num’s small finger. It is thought,
however, that much of the cotton
will still come out and make.
Ben Smith was in from the
Nine community today and re-
ported a destructive wind and
hail storm out his way yesterday.
At the time of the storm, Mr.
Smith was engaged in installing
a gasoline engine at his windmill,
and the high wind kept himself
and helper busy looking after
the tanks to keep them from be-
ing blown away. The hail at
this point was not heavy, and
he had no idea that any damage
had resulted. Upon going to his
house later, however, he found
an immense oak tree uprooted,
chicken coops and small out-
up production.
The farmers have shown no
disposition to curtail their pro-
duce, except for the one reason
of insufficient help to care for
what the soil will yield in abun-
dance. Of course there is the
dreaded apprehension of a lack
ing in transportation facilities;
and the car shortage has had a
tendency to make farmers as
well as manufacturers conserva-
tive. But while, everywhere
there has been a tendency for
manufacturers and farmers to
slow down, the striking reason
has been that there has not been
enough labor to carry on the or-
dinary game of life.
At the same time, in the ci-
ties as well as in the towns and
country, there has been a house
shortage. In New York it is not
uncommon for a single office
room to rent for as high as a
thousand dollars a year. In
Washington -offices are double
what they were before the war.
This condition holds good in most
of the large cities. Apparently
there are not enough people to
man the industries, to take care
of farm production, and to build
new houses and building struc-
tures within the Nation. The
United States Census now being
taken, shows that the population
is increasing, but it dues not in-
dicate what has become of the
laboring people, who evidently
are becoming scarcer and scarcer
as the years roll by. If America
could analyze her true economic
condition she would likely find
out that the country is several
years behind ir the affairs of its
shops and households.
Whatever the idealists and
theorists could figure out from
the above facts is uncertain. In
any event conditions all show

The Federal Bureau of Public
Roads shows that there were
7,565,446 motor vehicles of all
types registered in the United
States during the calendar year
of 1919, an increase of 23 per
cent over the previous year. Li-
cense and registration fees alone
last year amounted to $ 4,700,000,
and practically all this sum was
devoted to road maintenance and
construction. The highway offi-
rials estimate that there are 2,«
475,000 miles of highway in the
country, and a simple Inn# divi-
sion problem, show that there
are three cars to every mile of

nics are sadly misguided, as
there are of necessity, continued
good times ahead - and these like-
ly will improve as more people
are compelled to turn to the
ranks of industry after dissipat-
ing the small fortunes that they
accumulated during war times.
Doubtless prices are slowly com-
ing down, due to the fact that
business profiteers and labor
profiteers are being forced to
subscribe to saner business con-
ditions demanded by a country
at peace with the world.
The railroad problem which
holds public attention, and is of
constant moment at Washington,
does not stand by itself. It is
a part of the entire industrial
problem of the country and is
tied up with it in every detail.
Hence it cannot be solved by it-
self. Any disturbance affecting
any industry reacts upon railroad
transportation. It may keep the
cars empty and idle that should
be full and running. Then upon
the abatement of such a disturb-
ance the demand for products de
layed by it becomes abnormally
strong for the time being. There
is, so to speak, a “rush hour”
demand, creating a temporary
need for more than a normal
supply of cars.
The coal strike of last fall had
long extended effects. All pro-
duction in which iron and steel
highway Alabama, Arkansas,
Mississippi, Montana, North Da-
kota, Oklahoma, South Dakota,
and Wyoming have one car or
less for every mile and a half of
their roads. But Rhode Island
brings up the average by pro-
ducing more than twenty cars to
the mile, Massachusetts has thir-
teen and two-tenths cars to the
to the mile.
