OF TOE SOU ION STATES (Special to The Star) Baltimore, Dec. 1.—"The South’s development," a special 700-page pub lication to be issued by the Manufac turers Record early in December, will contain letters from business men of the highest standing in other sections who voice their opinion as to the fu ture of the South. Coming from some of the great leaders in industry and in finance, these letters must neces sarily have a profound influence in convincing the country that the South is to see a development in the future far exceeding that of the present. That the South is the most inviting field in the world for investment and tar industrial development, that its re sources are almost meas\#'elgss~!Trpa tent, are the tribu’es which men in the North and West through ‘‘The South's Development” have paid to what this section has accomplished while their forecast of its future will stimulate a nation-wide interest ;n the opportunities offered in the South Taking .iust a sentence or two from these letters which in the aggregate may be properly called aforecast of the future, we have some remarkably strong statements,. In these sentences we have testimony and tribute to the South which could not be more strong ly expressed by the most enthusiastic native of the South. The Manufacturers Record says, it has always been called an optimist on the South, but it is now inclined to feel that in reality it has been a pessimist as measured by what the business leaders of the East and West say of the South. Here are a few extracts: George M. Verity, president. The American Rolling Mill Co., Middle town. Ohio: “The natural resources of the South then adequately developed will add wealth and power to the nation equal to that of all continental Europe.” E. M. Herr, president.

I All the letters from which these j brief extracts are taken are full of enthusiastic optimism about the the nation in contract with the doubt South.

The South has captured the cotton . manufacturing business, now having an investment of over $1,000,000,000 ! in this industry as compared with $822,000,000 for the entire country in j 1910.

Lawndale Enjoys Musical Program Lawndale people were given a treat there last Wednesday night in an un usual musical program rendered.

KEITH THERE Is DO problem so difficult of Solution for nuyone as that presented In the decision to build < a home. It must be remembered that <n select ing the plans for your home many inriuenees ore to be considered. Location of the property. Its sUe, and the character of the buildings on adjacent property, are lust as Important questions to tiie home builder .*» tbe alte of the house to be built. !!..! number of people In tbe family the home will serve, end the ma terial with which to build. All of these considerations 'are relative to the amount to be expended for the new home. It will be evident then how the judicious selec tion of good building plans for tbe home are absolute ly essential. In the selection of the plans the home, economy has Its beginning. Interest In homt* building Is a healthy Indication for any community' Its citizens. In becoming homo owners, are thereby becoming bet ter citizens sharing their burden of responsibility In the comimmlty.' Too much attention to style should be studiously •avoided. Simplicity of design and execution give char acter and distinction to any home. Much time should be spent In selecting the plan best suited to servo the needs of tbe family. The American Home Plan Rureau makes It possible for the prospective builder to study the merits of many plans In their home plan book and select there from the plan desired. One could not ask for anything mere (n the design of a four-room cottage than given In this most charm ing little home. It lias lust enough of the artistic treatment In entrance and windows to give It ‘‘caste” without running into expense. It is u good demon stration of what an artist's touch will accomplish la tbe designing of small houses. The roof has just the right pitch and the dormer the proper lines and proportion. The windows com plete a splendid balance. The grooved siding adds another touch of interest. Just a little smooth surfaced cement is used for the porch facing with a twelve inch coping on a level with the cement porch floor. Entrance is direct to living root* which surprises one as to size tn so small a cottage. The outside chimney Is cement faced. Roof may he either cypress shingle or covered with prepared roofing. The floor plan cut shows a most practical use of space and gives an arrangement that will take care of a family pf four. Kitchen Is provided with ample cupboards end Ice-box. Grade entrance to basement Itrlilch extends under entire house. Furna< * i'rtended %ifh laundry ami large drying area in addition to 'laundry. We call this a perfect little home. The plan: of the home pictured on this page can !m obtained ut a very nominal price by writing to th< American Home Plan Bureau, an organize tic a havini at Its disposal tested plana of lending architects o' the country, which have been arranged for yonr re qulremeut* b\ M.

The player or players on each side rolls the hull until three men are out as in the regulur gnme of baseball then the other side takes the ball. It makes a most interesting game and Mr. Green bus been asured by men who have seen it that it will prove popular on the market. He has made a wooden bdll, written the rules of the game and had the idea copyrighted with the hope of selling it to some manufacturer of games. In the event the game is put on the market, the hall which has twelve sides and one each side of which is prii *?d the result of the play after the player has rolled, will be made of celluloid with indented letters.
