AUGUSTA’S WANT AD DIRECTORY. THE AUGUSTA HERALD- VOLUME XXXI, No. 323 MEN &> MARKET'S BYP.F.B. BABSON PARK, Mass— Stock market activity since election is being variously lnterprdled. One group Insists that It is an expres sion of relief or of confidence in the present administration. In other words, It is based entirely on sen timent. The dther school believes that it is the beginning of a sound bull market that is long overdue and that was held up by the uncer tainty of the campaign. They have gone over to the Idea that we are about to repeat the McKinle-f Market that started in November 1900 and ran Into the middle of 1901. During this movement stocks rose on the average of 30 points. With stocks higher than they have been since 1916 the market may go either way. As u4ual, you may pay your money and take your choice. PREDICTIONS O' -1 PROSPERITY are frequently made by government officials during a political cam paign but the practice is not often indulged in at other times. Never theless a report from Washington last week quotes ‘certain Tree sftry Officials' who say that they see nothing in the immediate future to put a stop to rising stock prices and that they believe that the coun try is entering a period of better business. The statement has al ready caused more speculation — 1 speculation as to why it was is sued. WHO IS SELLING STOCKS? The question seems to be bothering the speculators. It is probable that many of these "million share" ses sions are transferring securities from industrial concerns and banks to private investors. Business has been dull and with low money rates the banks have put their surplus funds iato securities. Many busi ness reserve funds have been usee in the same way. It will not be sur prising if it is found that these stocks and bonds accumulated gradually during the last year are now being liquidated. If there were any way of knowing how much is coming from these sources and how much more there is to come it might be easier to predict market developments. A HORIZONTAL CUT IN Taxes promises to be first in the order of business at the coming session of Congress. Such blanket reduc tion of from 10 to 25 per cent o.i present schedules could be passed without involving the complicated task of revising the whole system of taxation. Otherwise a special session will be required to make the scientific reduction of taxes promised in the campaign. The chances for real revision downward are good as the party jealousies that hindered the work as it was undertaken before the election should not figure largely in the coming revision. The politicians who opposed the previous effort to . give the country tax relief fared I noorlv in the balloting of Novem ber 11. A bill providing for furth r•• reduction should now go through ! with flying colors. CAR LOADING of ovpr a mil lion revenue cars a week for nine consecutive weeks with the rail se curities leading in both stock and bond markets might give the im pression that our railroads are en joying unprededented oppulence. Some of them are but the average return on capital invested during the month of September figures to 4.21 per cent whiv.fl is still quite a bit below the 5.75 per cent deemed a reasonable return by the Inter state Commerce Commission. The encouraging points are found in the splendid showings made by certain roads and in the fact that the in dustry as a whole is again headed in the right direction. EMMA GOLDMAN has experi enced Bolshevism first hand. She is just as rabid about it as ever— but she is now on the other side. Emma, who was deported from the United States in ISI9 as an unde sirable alien is now in England. Her present cor#lemnation of Bol shevism makes her previous tirade against Capitalism sound almost complimentary. $100,000.00 HAS BEEN BID for a seat in the New York Stock Ex change. A similar membership sold the day previous for $95,000. These figures are approaching the record price of $115,000 paid for a mem bership during the inflation market of 1919-1920. Commissions charged by brokerage houses have also been advanced. Begins to look as though everything connected with stocks had gone up. VERTICAL TERMS are becom ing common in American business. , Since the Sherman Act has made I combinations in restraint of trade, that is combinations of the same sorts of businesses, —illegal, we have seen combinations of con nected but not competing lines. Henry Ford in acquiring iron mines, steel mills, timber tracts, and railroads has built a vertical trust which embraces most of his main sources of supply. The tire companies in buying cotton mills and rubber plantations are follow ing suit. So long as it does not restrain trade this type of combi nation is legal, and while it may be hard on competitors, the result ing economics will doubtless ac crue as a benefit to the public. COPPER PRODUCERS and the owners of copper s«urities are much encouraged. Prices have climbed gradually and are ap npproaching 14c per pound. Con sumption has increased rapidly since the middle of August and ex ports are exceeding imports by about 35 per cent. With mines in operation running at 80 per cent of capacity the stocks on hand are dwindling. Low cost producers should profit, but a sharp rise in price would bring In many higher cost mines and greatly increase tho supply of metal. ERNEST STRUM, one time of ) flee boy of three Insurance com panies. has lust been elected as Chairman of the Board of these same companies. He succeeds the late Henrv Evans who also start ed as office boy. Maybe Horatio Alger wasn't so much fiction after #ll. THE AUGUSTA HERALD DAILY, sc; SUNDAY, sc. LEASED WIRE SERVICE. TEN DIE IN EASTERN STORM (MIDGE’S FARI COHESION BEGINS WORK Plan to Study Agricultural Affairs From Top to Bottom WASHINGTON. With preliminary formalities and intorductions complete, members of the President Coolidge’s commission had the way clear Tuesday for laying the foundation for a program which administra tion officials hope will point the way toward restoration of agriculture to a basis of economic equality with other industries. At its first meeting Monday held behind closed doors at the depart ment of agriculture, the commission adopted a preliminary plan of proce dure and decided that the best meth od of formulating constructive recom. mendations in time for consideration at the impending session of congress would be to study the whole farm question with pending relief legisla tion with necessary laws and scien tific education of the farmer as a working chart. With xhe assurance of Mr. Coolidge that no restrictions will be placed on them, members of the committee agreed to spend their e..tire time tor several weeks at least in studying the agricultural situation from top to bottom. Louis J. Tabor, master of the na tional grange and Charles S. Barrett, chairman cf the National Board of t"arm organizations who is attending the annual meeting of the Farmers Union in Oklahoma, were the only member? of the commission unable to attend Tuesday’s session.

Mrs. Wheeler was fount, dead in the cabin late Thursday by her husband. Dean Wheeler and Carl Hagen, owner of the place with whom the Wheelers were staying. A butcher knife had been thrust into her side. Her body was discovered on the floor by the two men when they returned from a trip to a river three miles away. The next morn-, ing Hagen and Jake Coulson, a friend of the Wheeler’s left for civilization to notify authorities of the death. Tlie men traveled on foot for 160 miles through the wilds to reach this place. Upon their arrival here Sunday, they notified county au thorities at Baudette by telephone. Sheriff Thomas Slind and Coro ner John R. Norris came here from Baudette Monday and started back to Hagen's cabin.

Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler came to this vicinity from Clearwater, Kans where they were married three weeks ago. They were accompanied by Jake and Robert Coulson. broth ers. of Clearwater. The Wheelers and the Coulson’s | had taken out homestead claims in I northwestern Minnesota near the Canadian border. Early Roads Extend So Far Into the Distant Past Their Begin ning Is Not Known Just Whin man first began »o build roads is not known. They were tin existence long before the pyramids. The materials used In the construction of the great pyramid was hauled over a road built after 10 year’s la bor hr 100,000 men. The road was built of massive blocks of stone and In some places was ten feet thick. The Applan Way, the first great Homan road, was begun about 312 before Christ by Clau dius Applus. It was 142 miles long hut was later extended to a distance of 300 miles, and 11 Is probable that Julius Caesar completed It. Many of our pres ent road laws come from the 'toman form of highway legis lation. The public highways of the United Sttaes represent an area owned and malnta'ned by tic nubile for their passage.
