No Action Necessary to Stimulate Gold (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. Special government of international action is not necessary to stimulate production of gold now that peace is in sight, according to the report of the committee appointed by Secretary McAdoo before his retirement to investigate the entire question of the gold standard. The report, which will be submitted shortly to Secretary Glass, says that the principal problems arising out of fear that the gold standard throughout the world might not be maintained have been largely removed by the cessation of hostilities. In reporting a similar conclusion, the federal reserve board has stated that "there is enough gold now In the world, if properly distributed, to provide the requisite banking reserve "to handle the interest and sinking fund charges on the public debts of any nation which will submit to the necessary taxation.

COUNTY ROADS IN GOOD CONDITION

The main roads in the county-are in an unusually good condition considering the damp weather during the past few days, and the extraordinary travel on them. Superintendent of Highways W. O. Jones said Thursday that few improvements are being made because digging the roads loosens the earth and brings the water to the top, making them soggy. The travel keeps the moisture in the ground and the road in a good condition. Vocational Instructors Talk at High School Chapel P. C. Molter and Ralph Sloane were the main speakers of the morning at the High school chapel Friday. Mr. Molter spoke on general vocational work and Mr. Sloane spoke on vocational music.
