BUILDING ACTIVE
IN CITY AND
STATE
Indications Are That There Will Be
Much Work for Detroit Builders in
Outside Towns and Cities the
Coming Summer.
New Building for Gregory, Mayer &
Thorn, on Cadillac-Sq., Will Be
Fine Modern Structure.

The weekly report Of the Builders
and Traders exchange shows that
large amount OF new work has come
In. This consists principally of resi-
dences Of various types OF construo-
ton, several apartment buildings and
stores, large number OF alterations
and changes and q three-story society
building and a factory building. Two
new schools and large Office build
ing were reported from the state, and
II is the general opinion that there
will be much work In the state during
III year.
Among the more prominent awards
OF the week are the following:
Baker studio building, on Washing
ton-ave., near Cliffordst; large apart
ment building for VIM. II. Williams.
on Willis-ave., near John R.-st., and
one for J. e. RocEo, at East Grand
Boulevard and Champlain-st.; switch
house at Second-ave and Amsterdam
ST., and a sub-station and battery
house on Macomb between Brush and
Randolph-sts for the Edison Illuminat-
ing Co.; alterations and changes for
the enlargement of the Hofbrau cafe
Lafayette-ave. and Shelby-st altera-
ton to store building at No. 103 Wood
ward-ave.
Additional and remaining contracts
were let on variety of miscellaneous
work
One OF the most interesting bits of
news Of the week was the announce
ment that Gregory. Mayer Thorn, sta
TONERS and office outfitters, at Wood
ward-ave. and Congress-st., had secur-
ed a 99-year lease Of the Central Mar
ket property. 8x100 feet, at Cadillac
So, and Bates-st.
While Gregory, Mayer e. Thorn will
not come into possession OF the prop
erty until l914,ait has, been decided
to erect a modern freproof steel and
concrete store and office building on
this site.
The building will be eight or 10
stories In height, and the first two
floors will be occupied by the sales
rooms and show rooms OF Gregory,
Mayer & Thorn II is possible that the
factory will also be moved to the
new building, but this has not been
decided upon. This factory now oc-
cupies the upper floors OF about half
the block In which the firm is now To-
Gated The rest OF the building Will
be given over to Offices.
I'VE have been working on the deal
for year." said Mr.. Gregory, but
It was closed so suddenly that | have
not yet had time to get building plans
In shape. While We will probably oc-
cupy the first two floors only for our
store and showrooms and rent the
rest of the building for Offices, our
plans are not fully decided upon. We
can tell more about 1t when our archi-
tects get the plans ready. Rents have
been going up so fast on Woodward
ave, that we thought 1t wise to take
the opportunity of geetting property
for ourselves when IL is offered"

which recently opened up 2l5-acre
subdivision south OF Jefferson-ave.,

ity. There is every indication that
the board of estimates will allow this
school, for its necessity Is considered.

Civic League Notes.

The October meeting of the Civic
League was held at the regular time
in the Chamber of Commerce rooms.
The meeting was very satisfactory as
the committees reported quickly and
the business was disposed Of without
any drawn-out discussions.
AT present the League wishes to
direct especial attention toward the
improvement Of the appearance Of
the town. In the spring City Council
/ was begged to insist on business
houses boxing trash and also to place
trash receptacles on Main street.
Council took no action in this matter
and so the League is now purchasing
the trash cans.
The Childrens' Garden contest gave
| encouraging results last year, SO
many children becoming interested,
and 50 it has been decided to make
1t an annual affair. Notice will be
given earlier this year and the con-
test will be carried on along slightly
different lines. The committee in
! charge is composed Of Mrs. Ferd Levi,
Mrs. j. T. Maurer. Mrs. j. M. knight,
Miss Katherine Moses and Miss E. M.
Mclean. A committee has also been
appointed to daw up plans for a. con-
test among grown-ups in which
prizes will be offered for improved
gardens and premises and sidewalks.
This committee consists Of Mrs. w.
H. Ingram, Mrs. John T. Green, Mrs.
A. M. Begin, Miss jamie Mikell and
Mr.. w. L. Brunson.
For some months the town has
promised to turn over the stand pipe
lot to the care of the Civic League, in
| order that it may be given a more
| pleasing appearance. as soon as place
can be found in which to keep the
piping, etc now ON the lot. 1t is hop
ed that this will be accomplished
before it is time to prepare the ground
for spring.
The League has decided to try to
| have notes in the paper regularly
every week and the Item has kindly
consented to publish them every We'd
| nesday.

Bird Shooting Begins November Is

Though the season for shooting
partridges will not open until No
vember Is, there are indications that
the sport has already begun. The
law says it is unlawful to kill any
partridges or wild turkey between
March 18th and November 18th, or
any dove between the 1st day Of
March and the 18th day of August.
An interesting section of the law
Is where it is unlawful for any per-
son to kill more than 25 partridges
or doves during any one day. in sea-
son. Sentences of $25 or imprison-
ment for 30 days is the penalty for
violation Of the statute. The law also
prohibits the buying or selling Of
game. Provision Is also made for the
shooting Of the wild turkey, quail,
woodcOck. and deer; but since
game of this kind Is not found in this
section of the State, the law would not
be Of interest locally. The sentence
to be imposed for violation Of the
game laws are so arranged that cases
come within the jurisdiction of the
magistrates, and justice will therefore
be easier had.

clare this Movement has been divinely
inspired to do this. The plan con-
templates infinitely more than a shor,
period OF big meetings. 1t seeks TO
establish no new organization but to

grams. 1t aims not to make itself

The Eject OF Fall Flowing on Cotton
AnthracnOse.

Clemson Extension WOrk-Article LIV
Experiments conducted at the s. c..
Experiment Station during the past
year show that where cotton anthrac-
nose occurs fall plowing is very es-
sential. number Of diseased cotton
bolls were collected last fall and
buried at various depths in the soil.
These bolls were dug up from time to
time during the winter and spring
and culture made from them in or
der to determine how long the fungus
which, causes the disease would live
In SUCH bolls. We found that the fun
gus does not seem to live in these
bolls longer than the middle of
March. Many of these bolls, when
taken up and examined, were found
to contain quantities Of bacteria
worms We're also found in some Of
them. These facts lead us to believe
that the ordinary agencies of dec om-
position destroy the anthracnose fun
gus when the bolls in which the fun
gus Is living, are buried in moist
soil.
At the same time that these bolls
were buried, a number Of badly dis
eased stalks were. pulled up and car
ried out to the edge Of the field
where they have been left unmolosted
since last fall. Diseased bolls were
taken from these stalks from time to
time and examined. The fungas is
still alive In the diseased bolls on
these stalks.
The cotton in the fields from which
these bolls and stalks were collected
last season we're very badly diseased.
The stalk chopper was run over these
stalks as soon as the cotton had all
been picked and the land was turn
ed about 10 inches deep. 1t was then
narrowed and sown In crimson clover
The clover was plowed under eariy
In April and the land was planted
again In the same variety of cotton
that was used last year. The seed for
this planting had been carefully Sc
lected from a field where there was
no anthracnose. This season there
was no anthracnose at all in this field.
These results, then, indicate that
fall plowing Is going to be a great
help in combating anthracnose. The
fact that the fungus is still alive in
stalks which were not turned under
emphasizes the importance OF such
plowing.

to rush back into the flames, but
was restrained. After several men
had made vain efforts to enter the
house. Theodo ore McCracken, a busi-
ness man Of Waynesville, dashed to
the boys rescue. Four times he
rushed into the burning house and
was driven back; on the fifth trip he
entered the kitchen through a win

and rushed through the doorway,
which was filled with flames, to the
yard. The lid Of the trunk was lift
ed and the boy was found inside, bad
