No Need to Postpone.

There is no use in postponing
building projects longer in the hope
that building materials will be
cheaper" says the Journal of Dayto-
ma, Fla. This is the verdict of the
federal labor and treasury depart
ments and the opinion likewise of
most business men conversant with
present conditions.
Unquestionably there is going
to be a great deal of building this
year. regardless of what the doubters
may do. In most states the build
ing permits already issued are far
ahead of thoee issued last year or
the year before. There is a vast
amount of construction that has to
be done, regardless of cost. The
nation is short about 1000. 900
homes. Public buildings are needed
in many cities. There are thous-
ands of miles of roads to be paved
There are almost countless bridges
to be built and sewers to be dug.
A great deal of railroad and factory
development is necessary. In most
cases the money for the work can
now be obtained. The demand
from all these sources is bound to
keep up the prices of materials for
some time to come. perhaps for
years.
Real estate men say. too. that it
is safe to put money into buildings
now even at Dravailinp Drices he
cause realty values which have risen
so notably during the war are going
to stay up. Thus the money put
into home or office building or
factory is not likely to suffer any
loss-the value will remain. and in
general the worth of the improve
ment may be expected to increase
rather than decrease during the
next few years"

st. PatriCk'S Day.

The general interest shown By all
classes of people in the celebration
of St. Patrick's Day by our fellow
citizens of Irish blood. demonstrates
a sincere sympathy with the Ma
tionalist aspirations, of the Irish,
and the hope entertained byAall-
regardless of races or religion, that
the day is near at hand when the
problem that has gone so long I'M
solved may be solved, a permanent
settlement achieved and a condi-
ton brought about where peace and
happiness will be assured. The
world seems to be entering an era
where Nationalism is to be given
fullest recognition. The doctrine
proposed by President Wilson and
urged by him upon the attention of
the peace conference. has as its ba-
sis the belief that all peoples are
entitled to self-government and the
opportunity to work out their desti-
ny. The acceptance of that doe
trine and the adoption of an inter
national agreement for maintenance
of it as against aggressive warfare
and possession, will, it seems to Us,
have the natural result in its appli-
cation to all cases where National
ism is the remedy for existing dis
content. We may have to get used |
to new relationship and time may
be required for this; but. logically, |
it must come if the doctrine is true
and can be practiced. Let Us. at |
least, hope earnestly that we shall |
see the contamination in our time, /
and all the world beginning a new
life under the ages of democracy

We admit that we do not wish to
see the farmers of the South grow
2,000.0 900 bales of cotton in 1919,
unless they can do so on not more
than 10000, 900 acres. But if they
can grow y million bales on 30
million acres. or even more than
this on this smaller acreage, we be-
lieve they will not suffer thereby. if
the lands released from cotton pro-
duction are put into feed and food
crops. We should not produce over
10 million bales. at the average
yield per acre for the last ten years,
and probably not over II million
bales at any higher yield per acre
that is possible; but If we do pro-
duce these crops on a ID per cent
reduction in acreage, or on .0OO,-
900 acres, we will find our farming
more profitable than if we attempt
to reduce the cotton acreage 30 Is
per cent or to "A. 000,U0 acres

Victory Loan Rates Formally
Announced.

Secretary of the Treasury Glass
has formally announced that the
Victory Liberty LOAN Campaign will
open April Il and continue until
May 10. Short term notes. matur-
ing in not more than five years. will
be issued instead of ionger-term
bonds.
While the amount of notes to be
offered was not disclosed officially
it is understood that So 900 900 900
is the tentative figure, with the
Treasury reserying the right to ac-
cept all over-subscriptions. The in
terest rate on the notes and the
amounts to be exempted from tax
alton will not be determined until
week or two before the campaign
opens.
After studying financial condi-
tons in all parts of the country"
said Secretary Glass. Il have de-
cided the interests of the United
States will best be served at this
time by the issuance of short term
notes rather than of long term bonds,
which would have to bear the linn
tied rate of interest of IA per
cent.
The Victory Liberty Loan will
therefore, take the form of notes of
the United States maturing in not
over five years from the date of is
sue. These notes will be as were
the Liberty Loan bonds. the direct
promise to pay of the United States.
will be issued both in registered and
coupon form, and the coupon notes
will be in final form and will have
attached the interest coupons COW
ering the entire life of the notes.
am hopeful that the notes in final
engraved form will be ready for de
liyero BY the opening of the cam
paign. April 81.
| am led 10 adopt the plan of Ia
suing short term notes rather than
long term bonds largely because of
the fact that | believe short term
issue will maintain a price at about
par after the campaign is ended far
more readily than would n longer

Part of Interesting Sermon From
an Interesting Text.

From Commercial Appeal.
An interesting coincidence be-
tween the time of the signing of the
armistice and the contents of the
eleventh verse of the eleventh chap
ter of the eleventh book in the Bible
was the feature of sermon deliv-
cred Sunday morning. DR.. Ben
Cox spoke in part as follows:
Last Tuesday morning while
was calling on lawyer friend he
said: May | read you sermon
text from the eleventh chapter of
the eleventh verse of the eleventh
book of the Bible?" | said, Ger
tainly.' He continued: You re-
member that the armistice was
signed on the eleventh day of the
eleventh month'-then taking his
Bible, which pleased me very much
bound as a law book, he read from
Kings 11:11
Wherefore the Lord said unto
Solomon, for as much as this is
done of thee, and thou hast not
kept my covenant and my statues.

will surely rend the kingdom from
thee. and will give it to thy servant
The secret of Solomon's trouble
lay in the fact that he disregarded
Gods word. That is the main
trouble with the kaiser and his fol-
lowers. Germany has led the world
in destructive criticism. He who
goes TO the Bible in cold. scien-
tifc dissecting spirit will find the
Bible locked, bottled and barred
against him. A prominent spiritu-
ally minded woman was talking to
the kaiser several years ago. The
got along all right un-
til she came to the subject of the
coming of our Lord. The kaiser
said, No. no, that would interfere
with my plans.

nation whose God is not the Lord
so may We say. cursed is that ma
ton whose God is not the Lord.

Owe Us Eight Billions.

The statement is authOritatively
given out that Europe owes the
United States more than eight and
one-half billion dollars, mostly in
loans made after the beginning of
the great war. Some of this great
sum is loaned to nations that are in
precarious stability. such as Bel
GUM. Serbia and Rumania. The
United States is interested in their
future welfare, not only because of
humanitarian reasons, of which we
chant so much. but also because it
is to our financial advantage to be
so interested. The decision of the
peace conference on boundaries and
sovereignties is vital to the collec-
ton of these loans. The establish
ment of the League of Nations as a
guaranty of the permanence of con-
ference decisions is necessary from
this same practical point of view
The banking interests of New York
and elsewhere with whom these
loans were placed are concerned that
they be made safe by the final peace
adjustment. All this it is hoped
that the League of Nations will ac-
complish.-Mobile Register.
