TO BEGIN WORK ONSTATEROADS Projects in Dubois and Spen- | cer Counties Get First Attention. The construction division of the highway department will begin surfacing two sections of road in Dubois and Spencer counties just as ifon as the reduced freight rates on road materials agreed on a t a conference between Governor W arren T. McCray and railroad operators recently, goes into effect, according to announcement today by Lawrence Lyons, director of the highway commission. Sections considered are a mile and a half of highway south of Hnntingburg in Dubois County, and about three miles if road north of Dale in Spencer County. The roadway will be 16-feet wide and both gaps are in what is known generally as the Evansville to French Lick State road. \ccording lo specifications the base ol the road will consist of macadam with Mirface of gravel or stone. Much of the trading for the two projects is finished, and unless the surface is soon spread and the gaps completed these two sections must be closed for without a surface they will be impassable to traffic in severe winter weather. The commission is very anxious to conclude this work as soon as possible. Mr. Lyons says, because It Is on one of the principal marketways in southern Indiana, opening in one continuous highway that territory between French Lick end Evansville through to the Ohio river. Counties of Dubois, Spencer, Warrick and Vanderburg will greatly benefit when this route is completed for all-season traffic, he declares. Southern Indiana possesses wonderful scenery, much of a primitive character lying contiguous to this overland route. The commission contemplates taking Into the State system a cross-country road leading through the counties of Crawford, Perry and Spencer, and which will Itap the main highway. In this event, traffic then will be routed through one of the most primitive and picturesque sections of the Hoosier commonwealth.

The bankers In the party stressed the fact that the comparative activity and the consequent good pay rolls in the steel industry here had been of high sustaining influence in all other,branches of business. With the increase in the price of cotton there were decided marks of improvement. But improvement had begun before that time. Owing to the advance in cotton debts of many months’ standing had been liquidated. N I They referred semi humorously to the oddity of nobody wanting cotton when it was 10 or 11 cents a pound and the craze to buy it when it went to 20. But it is always that way. Savings banks deposits have remained hig£ for the last twelve months. They are not increasing but have not gone back and there has been an increase In the number of depositors.

Weidel of this city, writes that she has, for a long time, known of the value of Cardui from personal experience. “I don’t know where I would be had it not been for Cardui, for it mace a new woman out of me," says Mrs. Weidel. Briefly describing the symptoms of the troubles for which she took Cardui. Mrs. Weidel writes: “1 was haggard, pale>—worn to a frazzle all the time. ‘‘My health wgs wretched. I had womanly weakness, painful . . pains and aches. "I heard of Cardui, and decided to use it. Cardui built me up. I grew well —like another woman—hence the praise I give it. Cardui is the best medicine I ever saw in my life." Cardui, which this Texas lady found so helpful, is a purely vegetable. medicinal tonic.

year and today shows signs of improvement. But the coal business has been erratic. Mr. Badham said January was the best month the Bessemer Coal and Iron Company had up to that time. In February the company lost money and it had rough sledding up to July, when conditions improved. Each month thereafter was better and better until October was the best on record. As to the future he could not say, but he did declare that the railroads owe money to all the coal concerns hereabouts. BOLDING INDUSTRY ON INCREASE. Evidently there has been a tremendous amount of building here. Mr. Foster said his company which mates pipe fittings had a light business in the spring thought in July it had sufficient stock for all ordinary requirements, but orders came in volume that month and they j caino in a Rood in August and in SepI tembor they came like a cyclone. Or- | tober, too, was bigger than expected.' ; Where he was wrong in his judgment, he said, was as to the amount of small house building, The demand from this quarter was so urgent that goods had to be shipped by express. If neoessary building is undertaken next year he predicts a fine year in his line <>f business. WORLD MARKET FOR COTTON GiSS. Mr. Munger, who is known the world over for his cotton gin. says that up to sixty days ago he kept his shops going at 100 per cent production. Despite the ; small cotton crop of this year his sales j managers are optimistic. He has a world market for his gins and looks for

good Dtisincss next year and a larger cotton crop. The hardware business. Mr. Moore reported as having declined from January to July and then began an improvement Which has continued. The .belief that there is going to be a reduction in freight rates has operated to prevent dealers from stocking up. In his opinion the change in the mental attitude of the country in the last ninety days has been as important as the improvement itself. The people had decided conditions were better and they would be better. Mr. Wilson said the wholesale dry goods business had suffered from the worst attack of cancellitis in*tbe history of the world. Now The patient was recovering. lie noted improvement last May but the improvement was slow until the report came as to the short cotton crop. Then a big demand came over nig/it and the trade was not prepared to meet it and was not able to meet it today. He cannof get deliveries of some .good.-, until January and is sold two or three months ahead. \ lu the wholesale grocery field Mr. Porter declared there had been decided improvement in the last sixty days but for the preceding twelve months tt had been awful. Mr. Eibley said October was the best month in the last fifteen for clay products. The previous months had been poor. VAST SUPPLY OF POWER.

last year. So W. E. Mitchell reported, lie says bottom was touched last January. After that the improvement set in. His collections are very gGod. 11a gave a vivid description of how ; this district is aiding the country in j the Carolinas, where there has been the i worst drouth lu thirty-five years and j the streams have been very low. His j company has been furnishing 20,000 horsepower to a connecting company to the east. That company has been giving a goodly part of its power to a company farther on awl the third company has been supplying still another company, until, in effect, the Alabama company power reached 600 miles away. This is illustrative of the value of interconnecting systems. But for the energy supplied~"by the Alabama plant many ( mills in the Carolinas would have to j shut down and there would be widespread unemployment. The department store heads reported practioaily as department store people; did elsewhere. Various of them complained of high railroad rates and all stressed (he point that Birmingham establishments sold better goods on a lower margin of profit than perhaps any others in the country. The stove people said they had no I market for their product until October, j Then a flood of orders came In. Now. they are feeling a flare back. They ex- , pect a fair to average of business next yea r. ( * VALUE OF BARGE SERVICE. Mr. Nesbit said the Warrior River barge service was a great boom to all I territory south of Nashville and j west to within 100 miles of Memphis, and I if used as it should be, would develop j

a large commerce and a big distributive business. Incidentally, he declared, it would save SO cents a bale on every bale ol cotton moved to the eastern mills, or for export. He estimated the recent advance in cotton as adding S6OO 000,000 to the purchasing power of the South. nirrrfingknm is the greatest sugar machinery building center of the world. This year it produced 60 per cent of al! built in the United Statps. Its plants in this department are operating oi ICO per cent of capacity today despite the depression in sugar. The makers feel ccnfident next year will be a good one for them as the Industry is a staple one anil' is. sure to come back. EABOR TROUBLES AT MINIMUM. Out of its population of 178,000, Birm- ! inghatu has about 70,000 negroes, Its labor troubles' are minor to those in northern coal and steel centers. There are few sections of tbc world that have more natural resources of great worth than the valley in which, this city rests. To practically inexhaustible supplies ol coal, iron ore,, clay, stone, lime, graphite | and other raw materials it has great | forests to draw upon and a wonderful i agricultural territory In which every - I thing of the temperate and subtropical zone can be produced. To rail transportation it adds ft-ater transportation by the Warrior RiNer. ♦The products of its mills, Its mines and Us factories go throughout the world. It has power and fuel steam and hydro electric. It is growing. Every decade has shown an increase of at least 100 per cent in its population. It’s young—only fifty years old—but it deserves its title of the Pittsburgh of the South.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

U. S. CONSIGNS MOTOR TRUCKS Will Be UVed by Highway Commission to Build Hoosier Roads. Guarded by a convoy of ten Indiana National Guardsmen, George Bartley, chief of the motor transport of the State highway department has just brought to this city a train of thirty Class B. Liberty trucks from Jeffersonville. The train also carried ninety tons of supplies chiefly expensive motor parts, and the total value of the trucks and equipment is about $125,090. according to Lawrence Lyons, department director. The consignment of trucks f.ud equipment is a part of an allotment to Indiana from the Federal Government and will be 'tsed In State road construction and maintenance. There remains to bo convoyed, seventy trailers with cargo bodies, which also have been released to the highway department, and which Mr. Bartloy will bring here within the next few weeks. A convoy of soldiers is necessary, highway officials explained, because of the value of the equipment which must be carefully guarded en route. A feature of the motor train was that, the Standard Oil Company had tnnko of gasoline and od scattered all along the route to supply afiy trucks In the event
