Stanley Simmons, Architect, De.

:. Retardiug Factor.

Notwithstanding prevailing. high
prices Of building material and labor.
B. Stanley Simmons, architect Of this
city says he is optimistic. for the
future. This attitude, he said. Is. de-
termined by: the amount Of work he
now has in hand and from numerous
inquiries made every day.
"It is not we'll to beguile ourselves
with the thought of a material reduc.
tion in the price Of labor or material
in the near future" he said. The Inn
preston seems to have gone Sbroad-
cast that there must be drop in
prices of materials; yet when you
consider. the initial. cost of production.
this can only be brought. about by; =
substantial cut in the manufacturer

ut is to be hoped. that the con-
ference now being held between the
representatives Of the United states
government and the various heads OF
the manufacturing concerns will bear
fruit to this end. There" Is another
factor that enters largely. II not
wholly. into the present sfagnatlon
of building. that. Is the reiuct2pcy ol
trust companies and indisidpaas,who
usually seek real estate asa basis OF
security for their funds to withhold

will be called upon through lack OF

readily apparent that it is. this, hsei-
that is doing more than anything else
to retard building. Let be, said
again that the prices ofsIabor< and

that existed before the war and that

SOUTHER FIELD
CIRCUSTODRAW
GREAT THRONC

Plans are being made at Souther
Field for the accommodation of 49,
600 people at the great Air Service
circus which will be given at the post
July ~. According to word recelv-
ed by Colonel RAIDER, commanding OF
ficer, persons will ba present from all
the country around, and caring for
them, according to him, will be one
of the chief problems to be met. Ind
cation of the wide interest in the
event is found in the applications
coming in from postmasters and otaer
officials in many Georgia cities for
tickets for people in their communl-
ties.
Colonel RAIDER announced today
that he expects to have several small
scout airplanes here from Taylor
Field, Montgom >ry, for use in sham
battles in the ali with the larger
planes. The scout plane is a type
entirely new here, none ever having
been at Souther Field. In addition to
this feature will be other flying,
with some hair-raising stunts, which
will constitute a continuous aerial
performance for 3 IL hours.
For the entertainment Of those who
will not care to watch tire planes for
that length of time, a baseball game
will be played the fast Souther
Field nine to be pitted against some
other strong team of Southwest Geor-
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1919-06-26

gia, yet to be selected. The program
of entertainment is to continue until
6 80 o'clock.
Plans are being made to provide
lunches and drinks for those who de-
sire them, and in the evening there
will be dancing and social features
for those who care to remain at the
post.
A rather elaborate program book
let is now being prepared by Lieut..
Rema ]. Henderson, Of Souther Field,
for use in connection with the event.
