Nh. Hacker Talks About
Building Material Shortage

Mr.. Hacker states the excessive
cost OF building material. and. In fact.
the impossibility OF securing struc-
turai steel, ETC., deferred many own
ers from improving their property.
while year ago II was believed
the city had adequate provision for
the then demands Of hotels. apart
ment houses, dwellings. once build
ings. and. in fact, all kinds Of build
ings. with the possible exception Of
garages" he said. at Ia felt now
that the demand Is greater than the
supply, and that as soon as there
is substantial decrease in the cost Of
building. a big increase In construc-
ton will take place"
He states that by reason Of the de-
terrent situation there was a falling
OF in building construction during
the past fiscal year. The valuation
OF building operations. though. was
over 81. 10000 greater than In the pre-
vious year. In the aggregate fewer
buildings were erected, but permits
were issued for q greater number of
large and more expensive buildings,
which accounts for the increased val
uation.

JAPS FAVOR TROUSERS.

II one should examine a photo
graph of a street scene In Yokohama
taken a few years ago and compare
1t with one taken recently, he would
discover that japanese costumes are
undergoing a change.
The loose robes are disappearing
and in their place are the coat, vest
and trousers Of the Western world
1t is estimated by the United States
Bureau OF Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, which keeps q speculative eye
peeled for these things, that one out
Of four men in Japan now wear
Western clothing.
The Japanese are satisfied only
with the latest styles. There must be
smartness about the clothes to
please them. So strong is the desire
to wear only the correct styles that
most tailors in Osaka and Yokohama
advertise that the cutting Is done by
an English or an American tailor.
Young japanese or business men
spend more In proportion to their In
comes for smart-appearing clothes
than Americans.

"THE LADIES FROM HELL"
Pibroch of Doniul Dhu,
Pibroch OF Doniul.
Wake thy wild voice anew,


Up Broadway they marched. the
Canadian Highlanders who had come
to New York to help on the British
recruiting there. and all along the
crowded sidewalks there were cheers
and cheers. OF all the thrilling cpl
sodes Of the war, none was more thrill
ing than this. There is something in
the pipes to stir the most sluggish
heart. Under that inspiration men
went gladly to death for Bonnie Prince
Charlie. They are going to death now
for a greater cause. The kilties sweep
down on the Germans as they once
swept down on the Sassenach. The
ladies from HE'LL the enemy in the
trenches calls them. The ladies from
Canada in their kills. their plaids,
their brooches. their sporrans. their
bonnets, rouse the fighting blood in
all who see them. Two hundred OF
them came to New York, and who can
say how many recruits will follow In
their train? They are asking for men
to enlist under the British colors,
but may there not be hitherto reluc-
tant patriots who, because of them,
will enlist under the American colors
as well? No man of Scottish birth or
ancestry, at least, could be deaf to
such an appeal
From the lone shielding on the misty
island
Mountains divide them, and a world
OF seas;
But still their hearts are true, their
hearts are Highland,
And they in dreams behold the Heb
rides.
Too much has been said Of British
"slackers" Until America went into
the war there could be no recruiting
in this country for the British army,
nor could many of those who wished
to Join find the chance. The idea that
there are half million Britons here
who ought to be in the trenches is
the emanation of the disordered pro-
German brain-a subtle argument to
discourage American recruiting. II
may be doubted IL there are tenth
OF that number. Even without the in
spiration of the kilties they have been
coming forward bravely of late. In
stead of criticizing them. It would be
better to follow their example. Let
the pibroch sound all over the land.
it that will help. Bring the High
landers to Philadelphia. Chestnut
street will respond to the call as en-
Enthusiastically as Broadway. Nothing
is more needed just now than a revival
of the fighting spirit. An abstraction
is not inspiring. War may be a
science, but the scientific spirit does
not win battles. We need the tumult
and the shouting too. The Campbells
and all the rest of the clans are COM
ing. On to Berlin!-Philadelphi Pub
lie Ledger.

SHEEP VS.. DOGS.

Editor Sentinel:
An able editorial appeared in your
paper November 80, answering "Why
We Are Not Raising Sheep" If that
question had been put to every farm
err in the state outside of the delta
90 out of every 100 replies would
he the answer you gave in your edi-
I%torial. viz: the dog.
| have taken pains to make in
quiries from those who have raised
sheep and they tell me that it is a
profitable business, that you gan safe
1y count on one hundred per cent
yearly and that the wool will more
than defray the expense of keeping
them. If it was not for the dogs.
could you think of any business am
better than this one. one hundred per
cent clear profit every year?
Your lands being better every year
from having been p~astured, lands pro-
ia Il ufHi5ptr rWqeHHt teeqnro d agPf tBS "q paarttke that ccff5oip'g.
The thousands of acres in our hill
sections hot being cultivated owing
to scarcity Of labor could and would
be used advantageously in raising
sheep but for the dog.
There never was a time when sheep
raising should be encouraged more
than now. We should raise sheep for
the wool if no other profit came from
it. Our soldiers need the wool in
the shape of clothing to win this war.
and | am ready to make war on the
dogs so we can raise sheep to help
win the war. This can BE done if
our legislators will place a good tax
on dogs and do it fearlessly, as they
passed a state wide tick law. If they
will only do this, the sheep industry
IS assured and it will only be a short
while before the hill sections of Mis-.
sissippi will be a continuous stock
farm. Put . high tax on dogs and
that will be a death sentence to the
worthless cur. and life to the sheep
