THE ROADS OF 1917.
It will be but a short time now until the rigors and
storms of winter will be past and the problems of a new
year will be before us for solution.
One of the most important of these problems will be,
"What of our country roads in 1917?"
The year 1916 witnessed the greatest impetus to road
building that has ever been known in our history. Gov
ernment, state, county and municipality all awoke and
atacked the problem with vigor, and the results in many
instances were most gratifying.
But there was, the past year, another element in the
solution of the good road problem that heretofore had
been lacking-that of community co-operation. In many
parts of the country the importunities of the good roads
advocates had their effect, and the PEOPLE awoke to
the live fact that the roads were THEIR roads, and
that THEY were individually responsible for their main
tenance. And this was just the added force needed to
give to the movement an impetus that nothing could stop.
It is this feature of community co-operation that hnust
be fostered if our roads are to be made \vhat we would
have them. Each and every citizen must be fully arous 3
to HIS responsibility-not merely to pay his taxes and
give his few .days of work each year, but to shoulder his
full share of responsibility and never let up until every
road in his community is a GOOD road.
Many communities have worked up a sentiment that
each andevery citizen shall give one day out of each
month to voluntary labor on the roads. This is an aux
iliary to all other road working facilities. And the plan
as carried out in these communities has worked splendid
results in the improvement of the highways.
If all communities will organize on this plan, work
it up to a maximum of efficiency, and keel) the enthu
siasm at white heat, it will be only a short while until
they awake to the fact that their road problem has
-been solved.
WANTED-PRODUCERS.
We have become so accustomed to the cry that the
prevailing high prices of living are the result of our
increased exports of food stuffs that it comes as some
what of a shock to learn from official figures that during
the past year our exports of food supplies were in reality
something like $100,000,000 less than the previous year.
And it is stated on the same authority that never before
has the visible supply been so low.
The food speculators have been yelling that Europe
was making such a tremendous demand for our food
supplies that the enormous shipments in themselves
were the cause of sky high prices. That too, appears
to be a mixture of financial wind and hot air.
Congress is "investigating" the price boosting com
bines. But did you ever hear of the politicians of either
party doing anything more than to "investigate?" Did
you ever hear of a conviction? More wind-political
wind.
There are two distinct causes for the prevailing high
prices. We lack producers, and we are cursed with a
set of food speculators who would starve a baby to death
for a penny.
Our production is not keeping pace with the demand,
because our farmers are leaving their acres and turn
ing their faces to the allurements of the town and city.
And there are none to take their places on the farms.
As Mr. Cleveland so tersely p~ut it, "this is a condition
and not a theory."~
Food speculators know this and are buying and hoard
ing the supplly and doling it out in diriblets at their own
prices.
Foreign dlemandi? Bunk!
Wholesale robbery? Yes!
.XWhen we get rid of four-fifths of the middle men, and
jail the speculating price boosters, and keep the men
on the farms and put more of them there, then we will
have ample supplies at reasonable prices, and not until
then.
And in the meantime congress will keep right on peri
'dically "investigating" and making an ass generally of
itself, as it has always done and always will do, irre
sp)ective of party..
W~e needi more prodlucers and fewer robbers.

ALLIES REPLY. TO 1 E PRESIDENi
Wl Diffeentiate .Between Peace
Among Present Belligerents and
Futurre - Arrangements
Against War.
FINAL. DRAFT NOW BEING STU
DIED BY ENTENTE CABINET
If No Hitch Occurs Document May
Be Handed Ambassador Sharp
at Paris.
London, Jan. 2-The final draft of
the reply of the Entent to President
Wilson's peace note, which already
has been aproved by France and
Great Britain, has been forwarded to
Italy and Russia. As no changes
have been suggested from those quar
ters, it is not omjrobable the note
will be delivered to the American
ambasador in Paris, William G.
Sharp, within a short time. It is un
derstood here the note may posibly
be handed to Mr. Shary tomorrow.
However, Belgium made her.. re
quest at the last moment that the
statement of her case be added to the
reply to the Central Powers, and sim
ilar aditions or delays may occurr in
the case of the note to President Wil
son.
The reply is about the same length
as the note to the Central Powers,
and has the same characteristics of
general and guarded language. One
of the most important points is a dif
ferentiation between peace among the
present belligerents and such future
arrangements as may be made for
permanent peace, the purpose being
to show neutral upholders of a per
manent peace how that is attainable.
This is attainable not alone by
first concluding the present war, but
also by concluding the kind of a peace
which will pave the way for a per
manent peace.
While the original draft, like the
reply to the Central Powers, was
written largely in France, Foreign
Secretary Balfour also has had a con
siderable part in it, particularly in
regard to phrases, seeking to eluci
date the situation for the benefit of
pu'.lic opinion in neutral countries.
Now Before Cabinet.
Paris, Jan. 2.-The Allies' reply to
President Wilson's note will not, it
is understood, be published until the
end of the week. The next has been
completed and is now being consider
ed by the different cabinets.

Washington; Jan. 1.-Describing

pledged their, support.
It was the original Jntention of
Miss Trimble, who is the daughter of
Judge N. W. Trimble, of Alabama
and her co-workers to secure a bil
providing constructive work among
the southern mountain states only,
but.conditions hyae been found to be
so bad in' other sections that' the
campaign has been made national 'in
scope.
"This is a phase of national pre
paredness which patriotic Americans
certainly should not overlook," de
clared Miss Trimble today. "I am
glad that this country has been able
-L give assistance was socatwPst t. c
to give assistance to the nations
abroad, where such assistance was so
badly needed, but here we have hor
rible conditions right at our doors.
"In many of the mountain regions
the people have no educatidn, no
thoughts of sanitation, and they are
poverty-stricken beyond description.
Boys of five and six years of age use
tobacco, drink whiskey and swear
horibly.
."These people are or pure Anglo
Saxon stock and no one can tell to
what heights they might rise if they
were given a fair chance. I do not
think any patriotic American citizen
can fail to see what is our duty to
these submerged pe'ople."

Alcohol as a Cleaner.
Alcohol seems to possess an espec
ial gift at banishing grease. I keep
a bottle of denatured alcohol on my
kitchen shelf for this particujar pur
pose.
When gfirease has been 'spilled' or
spattered on the floor and has pene
trated into the pores of the wood, al
cohol removes it better than any
thing else I have ever tried. A wad
of soft paper dampenea with alcohol
will quickly remove grease from the
stove or sink or a greasy cooking
utensil, and if the paper is then
burned the disagreeable task is
quickly over.
Alcohol satisfactorily renews the
soiled collar of storm coats, and is
better to remove spots from black
goods than gasoline.
Alcohol is pleasant to use as a
cleanser since it quickly evaporates,
leaving neither odor nor stain. It is
also perfectly safe.-Orange Judd
