 The year 1917 opened up on the
 run in the building trades line ill
 Pine Bluff and if it keeps moving as fast as it did during January and February, by the end of the year we will see great improvements in Pine
 Bluff.
 Among the larger contracts now
 being carried out, or which will De soon under way, are tie Fox Broth CTS Hardware company's warehouse, the Catholic church and the most fav-
 orable outlook, for tho construction of a new theatre building. The building of the new wal ehouse of the
 Fox Brothers Hardware company, in- dicates that Pine Bluff is good
 wholesale market, and the firm is 10 be commended for it's progressive spirit.
 The larger cities have their "paint
 up" and "clean up" campaigns on during the summer months, and this not only beautifies those cities but is a protection to property and health. Pine Bluff needs such a campaign as
 much as it needs anything. It s true, however, that the cost has to Ee considered, when one is to repair and paint home. Good paints have advanced very little in cost, as com pared with groceries and other ne- cessities purchased every day. Wages in the building line have advanced only small per cent, as compared
 with the things the worimen are con- pelled to buy day after 0ay. Contractors Galbraith & Royse have started work on the Fox Brothers Hardware company's warehouse, at Fifth avenue and State street. The building will be modern in every re- spect fire proof, and tiyee stories in
 height. The contractors will give employment to a large force of work
 men, while carrying out this con- tract.
 Brassell & Ritchie are building a $4,500 residence at Fourteenth ave-
 nue and Laurel street.
 Hogan brothers will soon complete the repairs on the building formerly occupied by McGaughy Brothers, Tn Main street The repairs and remod- cling of this building will improve the structure very much. With a plate glass front, and partition through the center, two stores will be made out of the building ons to be occu- pied by T. w. Coverdale and the other by B. L. Owens.

SEA CODE PROGRAM
Assert 1t Expresses Germany S
View, Which Was Attack At
British Sea Power.

Heated dissent from the international
code for freedom Of the seas" present
ed to the American Institute of Inter
national Law at its session at Havana,
Cuba. Monday. was made in British
circles here today.
1t was asserted that the program
there outlined was an exact expression
OF the German Interpretation Of the
phrase which was intended as Q direct
attack upon British sea power.
The gist Of the plan submitted to Che
institute was to make commerce, even
belligerent commerce. as safe during
war as during peace. The present war.
Britishers said. has shown what a dis
aster such a policy would be to the
British empire.
Final action on the code will be TAX
en- by the institute at its next annual
meeting, and meanwhile 1t will be re-
ferred to the national institutes of the
twenty-one American republics for con-
sideration.
