BUILDING
PATRIOTIC
"Building activity is immediately necessary to
prevent a bread line in this country ' said Frank
Morrison the other day, speaking for the Ameri-
can Federation ot Labor, before a Senate Com-
mittee at Washington. He was uttering a great
truth.
Millions of men released from the army must
have employment. People who invest in neces-
sary buildings now are not only making the best
investment within their reach, but they are also
helping to EMPLOY the MEN WHO HAVE
BEEN FIGHTING FOR OUR LIBERTY.
Compared with other living commodities, lumber is not high priced. La-
bor MUST be employed. Lumber is very likely to be much scarcer than at
present. Europe needs large quantities of it. From every view point it
'seems wise to BUILD NOW.

THE GREAT DAY ON EARTH.
Rural New England Is aroused
over the threatened banishment of
strong drink, and already many
towns and villages In the remote
counties of Vcrmount and Massachu-
setts have switched from dry to wet,
while others are likely to take the
sa'mo course. Tho personal equation
counts in the politics of those reck-1
bound States as well as elsewhere
and for that reason prohibition or
nonliccnso has always won the sup-
port of druggists and peddlers of
patent medicines as well as of the
class" always large In New England
that love to partake of forbidden
fruit.
But the rigid enforcement of the
bone-dry law is very different from
the prohibition that does notprohlblt
and to thoso skilled in the favorite,
down cast pastime of "whipping the1
devil round the stump" the prospect
of such sumptunry legislation Is np-
palling. The trade In tho various
alcoholic beverages disguised as
"tonics" or "nerve foods" or cures for'
the i various human ills prospers in
dry weather ns at no other time, and
it Is during these periods of protract-1
cd drouth that tho "back room" of
