START Hl(i NATIONAL BUILDING BOOM ' ~— ' : »- H There is a large and grow ing short age of homes throughout the nation 1 And since tlvis shoitage is anational . neeessit) ,• it means that steel com panics will see big orders for stiuc tural steel probably in the very neai future. It is said that in New York , City plans for more tan $100,000,000 , worth of new homes have been file' . since the tax-enienVption law took of ] I feet. This investment is expected to i , take care of some 20,J>97 families ' . During this same period a year ago . 0n1y'537,14:1000 worth of permits were taken out providing for only >,t>o4 f families. Here is an increase of 371 per cent in the amount of money and 216 per e'ent in the number of fami • lies provided for. A -very good sign is the fact that this $100,000,000 worth of new 'building permits is expected to provide for 11902 families in house.- and 8,995 in apartments.- The rtisl probably due to the fact thathrdlet, v for building permits at present i. • probably due to the fact that undei' the new 10-year-tax emption law tlx construction of the buiVding"must I> I actually' under way liefore April 21, 1922. It is our belief that the recontsruc tion boom Will receive its impetus in i the. New York district, and that the law will boom to be well under way before next April'. Thi« building enthusiasm is sure to spiea I to other sections of the country, be - cause these communities will riot al jv ji.w New oY'rk to enter the steel n.ai- I kets ahead 'if them and conUaci to > f> far in advance for materials. lust t as in the height of a boom it takes but a seemingly insignificant oecui r irnce to throw a cold chill into the s optimist, so on the bottom of a dc i p reunion a display of courage on the i part of a lew people may heart ei 5 others, causing the beginning of tin t veturn of prosperity.

J CURING TOBACCO S The farmers are losing more sleep d curing tobacco than for many years. !»_ This is probably because tobacco is n richer and better than it has Iwren for e some time. Most farmers topped low >- and that usually makes a rich, Jnlcy e crop and it always takes twenty-foui hours longer to cure a juicy crop than it does a thin one. Of course this is a heavy tax on the man who has to o do the curing but it usually pays wel' is to take plenty of time and not ci>ok i>4 the juice in the leaf. The buyers al f[ way* discount tcbacco cured too quick. i Food Expert at Farmers Meeting New facts about food and its in fluence on health and progress are to be featured in u talk by Dr. E. V McCollum, world famous nutrition ex pert, of John Hopkins University, at the Farmer's and Farm Women' Convention in Raleigh, August 30- Sept. 1. This is Dr. McCullom's second visi to North Carolina, eh having attend ed the annual live stock meeting n Salisbury last year. At that time It amazed his audience with matter ul fact statements concerning the elTcct of food upon physical and mental de velopment and its relation to disease. His is a message backed up by.ovei 6, (MM) feeding experiment- with an mals and it is on evidence such a he has gathered that modern die,i,' practice is based. The allies made use of hi- research e in feeding their armie and ci\il ian populations during the Great War, and Germany suffered becnu e she did. not possess the facts about food de veloped through the researches of Dr McCullom. His talks are to lie illustrated lis en | larged photographs of rats and other | auimals'Vliieh show clearly the effects of differed (food rations. Persons who hav oheard him speak, usually hoi ie [and change their eating habits am | moilify the meals given to tliet • •nI | then that is, they io if the , want [their children to grow strong, and be 'bright, intelligent youngsters. GOOD ROADS The action of North Carolina in providing' for a fifty million dollar bond issue for highway work, like that of Virginia, Pennsylvania, Illinois art'd Missouri, has placed the state far to the front in the mutter of highway construction. The North Carolina. Highway Commission has ordered the immediate construction i both gravel and hard, surfaced roads at a total estimated cost of $7,000,000 every district and practically every county in the state being represented in the list of projects appr veil. Fifteen million dolars worth of the bonds are to be sold immediately, more than I,(MM) .miles of road to cost [in the neighborhood of SIB,(MM),(MM). The action of North Carolina is at trading a great deal of attention * thrughout the I'nited States. The iiii provement of her highways, tooo loiir neglected, means much for the develop ment of the state.* Good roads will bring into the state many additional thousands of-4"urists from all part> o ('the east an ilthe middle west anil! will encourage many new business en-„ ' terp.risest as well as increase the val "Tiß "land and city prices,- a?" wess as increase the valueof farm land and city real estate. The school' ■ will be Improved and the churches 1 >tlengthened, rural life will be more pleasant, agricultural anil industrial production -wil be more fully develop ed and the- cities and rural com munities wil Ihe brought into closer • touch. Thn completion of the hew road will mark a great epoch inthe history of the state. In Charles M. I'pham, its new state highway engineer, North Carolina se ' cures a man to supervise this vas' program, who has constructed mans mile., of every modern type of pave ment, from the highest grades of thi rd.v asphalt types to portland cement concrete and bituminous macadam. Mr. I pliam has practically completed the Delaware state highway system and is one of the most widely known and highly successful road builders in the country. The wide variation in topographical and traffic condition' in North Carolina will uffor dhim a broad opportunity for the exercise ol his engineering abilities, The iikost up to-date types of pavement such us u-ed on Fifth Avenue, New York C.ly [and other thoroughfares where traftii is exceedingly Heavy, nay i-ecm a luxuiy in the muutitnii's of North 1 Ciuolina, it is ne.'c-itheless necessary ti.al many miles o fth" so i aled "pave menl deluxe" be laid on the ri ule ol 1 the central highway, an I 'it a cost well w iTh n the means • fth 1 pe6| le oT ific st ie i ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE Having qualified as administrator of the estate of John R.
