Black, chief of engineers, Washington, to proceed with the construction of buildings at the camp just east of Florence on the north bank of the river.
 This does not mean that additional building material will be ordered for the construction of permanent dwell- ings and quarters for laborers, but it does mean that all outstanding orders for house building material are 10 be filled and that over 100 large build ings will be built. A large force of carpenters will be kept on the job sev- erai months. but the cofferdam work ir the river has been closed down for the present and the men engaged in this work have been transferred to plant No. at Muscle Shoals. The office force will be slightly reduced, however, the army engineers will pro- ceed with their work without inter rurtion.
 When interviewed today Major Watt said; Work on the dam is only tern porarily suspended Secretary Baker acted on recommendation of board of war industries that labor and ma terials to be used on dam No ? are needed worse elsewhere. It is tenn porary win -the-war measure. There is not only labor shortage but the railroads are greatly overtaxed Tn handling material to shipyards. and other war industries throughout the country. Work will again be re- sumed as early as practicable, and there appears to be no doubt of the ultimate completion of the project.'
 Of the 11S houses now being con- structed at the dam site, 10 are small knockdown houses 20x20, while the rest of the structures will be large buildings, ranging in sizes 30x32 up to 20x100 feet. These are to be resi- dences for department heads, dormito- ries and mess halls for laborers

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS

The effort to separate Liberty
Bond holders not familiar with
stock and bond values from their
Liberty Bonds has taken new
turn. The manipulators instead
of offering to buy the bonds at
inadequate prices offer in ex-
change for them the stocks and
bonds of various wildcat corpora
tions, whose face value is large
but whose actual value is little
or nothing.
The safest investment in the
world is a Liberty Bond. For a
patriotic American, Liberty
Bonds are the best investment in
the world. 1t is not only a wise
thing to hold them; it is a patri-
otic thing to do. The soldier that
takes q trench and then volun.
tarily gives II up, is not to be
compared With one who takes a
trench and holds 1t against the
enemy An American who buys

a Liberty Bond and then sells it,
is not so good an American as
one who buys a bond and holds
it. This does not apply, how
ever, to one who sells his bond
because of real necessity; there
is legitimate trading in Liberty
Bonds which the Treasury rec
ognizes.
1t was a wise and patriotic old
colored American who refused to
sell his $100 Liberty Bond for
500, because he would not give
up the United States promise
(his bond) to pay him $100 with
interest for the United States
promise Currency to pay him
500, and who refused to sell the
same bond for $102, because, he
said, that the $102 must be coun-
terfeit, or else the would-be pur-
chaser would not be willing to
give it for only 500. 1t is safe
to say that there are no gold
bricks or wildcat securities among
that Americans assets.

When the fire bell rings, it is
usually the case there is someone
in need of the Fire Department,
and not for the whole town. The
firemen must have full sway and
it should not be necessary for
them to have to run into anyone
getting to Fire Headquarters or
to the fire. The town ordinances
cover this, but they have not
been obeyed. Will everyone, for
their own good, as well as others.
kindly observe the town ordi-
nances when the fire alarm is
turned in and when the truck is
going to and from a fire. Also,
in regard to running over the
hose. 1t will be necessary to en-
force these rules in the future.
If you are notified to appear in
court, you might have been out
of your place when the fire
alarm was given or while the
truck and fremen were out to
the fire. Leave the fire to the
firemen, unless you are asked to
assist.
