NOW IS THE TIME TO BUILD.

The time to build is right now!
 An equal amount of farm produce will buy twice as much lumber today as it would two or three years ago.
 There is a mistaken impression that lumber is high. The illustrations be- low prove that it is not. The farmer will never have a better time to build than the present. His purchasing power is represented by what he pro duces. What brought him $1.O0 in 1911 now brings him $200 or $2.50. In other words, the same products now buy from two to two and one half times as much as they did then.
 In 1911 one bushel of wheat would buy three pieces of Southern pine 2x 4-16 This fall one one bushe1 of wheat will buy seven pieces of 2x4-16.

DESIRE FOR DRESS

Stripped of those clothes that they might be returned to a downtown store, and dressed in a prison apron, she wept bitterly.
 Mrs. Owens admitted buying dresses and other articles from a department store and having them charged to Miss Marion McCutcheon, 5000 Char lotte street. She formerly boarded at the McCutcheon home.
 She also forged the name of Miss McCutcheon's fiance to a check which was cashed at another downtown store.
 "I wanted the clothes and didn't have any other way to get them," she told the judge.

on the farm is requiring more educa- tion every year, and the scenitific .soiltiller has tremendous advan- tage over the oldfashioned farmer who considered reading and learining waste of time.
 But the trouble with our university and college educations is that they cost money. Something that is so desirable from every standpoint should cost less.
 Thousands of high school lads would like to go to college and their parents would like to have them go but they can't afford it. State insti- tutions help them to certain extent, but not enough to make al apprecia- ble difference.
 The result is tragedy, not only for those affected, but also for the state. Many a bright lad, in whom dwelt the spark of genius, has been sentenced to stunted educational growth be- cause of lack of funds. Obviously, a system whereby finan- cial aid can be extended the really proficient but poor boy or girl, would be an asset to the state.
 And another system whereby the cost of college education could be reduced so that more high school graduates could obtain this advantage would be an important step for the good of the nation.

PERSHING WANTS
 CARRIER PIGEONS

Washington, Sept. 14.-Maj.-Gen. Pershng, commanding the American army in France, has asked for thous- ands of carrier pigeons to assist the American aeroplane observers III sending their reports and maps of German positions back to headquar- ters.
 Acting upon his recommendation, the war department is preparing to take census of carrier pigeons of the country preparatory to sending great numbers of them abroad For hundreds of years certain breeds of pigeons have been recognized as the best carriers of messages in time Of war under difficult circumstances. To a great extent they have been out classed by the wireless, but it now becomes apparent that they are still useful.
 It is undoubtedly true that Gen. Pershing made his recommendation after learning what use the French army is making of the carrier pig cons. The variety of pigeons which has the hcming quality and is there fore used for carrier purposes is known in this country as the "homer." They breed very rapidly, sometimes raisinsi ten pairs of squabs in a year. which reach maturity in a few months.

AN AERIAL MAIL.

What will the government do with it's airplanes after the war; Shall these costly things be thrown on a junk pile or should they be put to fuse?
 If possible, put to use, of course. The opportunity seems Iropitious: And nothing appears so attractive in this connection than the possibility of aerial mail service between the large cities.
 It is believed that the larger air planes will be able to fly from Chi cago to New York in six hours and 30 minutes; from Boston to New Orleans in 13 hours, from Chicago to Los An.
 geles in 29 hours and 45 minutes making a total from New York to Los Angeles of 36 hours and 15 minutes. The distance from Chicago to Oma-
 ha would be covered in three and a
 half hours.
 Whether it is necessary to go to ad-
 ditional expense to maintain fast
 aerial mail is question not yet tack l led; but it would seem that spe-
 cial change for special fast delivery
 would help pay for the extra ex- pense.
 The aerial mail seems a possibility and even probablity-if, as it is | claimed, such fast time can be made
