high that people con not travel and t

wages about ten or twel per cent, i
while labor in our own midst has been t
cut at least sixty per cent, and car- |
penters and other skilled laborers who |
before t|ie slump for six or eight dol

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

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 that undei'

It is our belief that the recontsruc

law will boom to be well
under way before next April'. Thi«

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.

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

[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
