THE WAR
BUILDING BOOM
Plans for First Quarter of 1919
Involve Outlay of $50 Per
Cent. Over Last Year

NEW YORK, April 16.-Metropoli-
tan builders are leading the after-war
boom.
Plans filed during the first quarter
show a volume of operations ap-
preaching normal and projects an
nounced. but not placed on record,
] swell the totals by $50 per cent. Fill
ings q for an estimated OUTLAWS Of
$30.105.00 In comparison with $751;

iod last year, other projects in hand
for immediate undertaking exceeding
$50, 200. 000.
In the greater city plans filed call

investing public generally is coming
to an understanding of these facts.
While other commodities and the cost
of living have increased one hundred
per cent. and more since the begin
ming OF the war the advance in con-
struction costs on such buildings as
do not require steel is only about As
pei cent; on such buildings as require
steel the advance approximates no
more than 81 per cent. Construction
costs, therefore. in their upward ten
dency, have not kept pace with other
commodities and the cost of living"
To Build Many Homes.
A significant development, accord
ing to the Department of Labor, is the
interest being taken by financial and
building interests throughout the
country in the problem of financing
the unprecedented building activities
which are essential to make up the
building deficiency growing out of the
curtailments In this field during the
war. A representative of the Infor-
nation and Education Service of the
Department of Labor reports that
Newark. N. j. Board of Trade has APP
pointed "a committee to devise ways
and means of financing the building
of $500 homes. This finance will be
drawn from private sources rather
than from banks and will be made
available on longtime loans to home
builders.
This is but a concrete example of
the way localities are attacking the
problem of financing home building
in h United States. Equally inter-
esting and important Is the recent
bulletin of the savings bank section of
the American Bankers Association in
which is discussed and recommended
a plan for amortization of mortgage
lians. Here again is shown a dispo-
sition to depart from conventions of
the banking business and devise new
ways to meet the new problems in
the building field.
Along the same line is the agita-
ton for the Federal Home Loan aBnk
system. a bill for the establishment of
which his been prepared and will be
INTRODUCED In the next congress with
h backing of the Building and Loan
Associations of the country.

rather than homes.

rather than homes.
THE problem Milwaukee is en-
deaVoring to meet grows out of the
necessity of many laborers TO change
Jobs. To w property in the con-
Nentional sense means that if a labor
ing man must change his employment
and move from one city to another,
his home owning tends to make him
some Aat less free han he would be
withou his real estate. The Mil
u idea Is hat he shall buy
stock in the corporation, having pos
session and all the privileges of own
ership and. in the event of being for
ced to seek employment i'm some other
city either the city will buy his stock
with a proper discount for rent, or
he shall be allowed to sell his stock.
This plan is incorporated in a bill
now before the Wisconsin Legislature
and is important In hat 1t is indica-
tive of what private building interests
may expect of cities If they do not
themselves devise some plan whereby
a man may buy his home as he buys
his piano or automobile.
Must Bc/Real Campaign.
I'm other word there must be
something more to an Own Your
Home campaign than q concerted
movement to get people to buy homes
along the same old line. The sort of
own Your Home campaign hat will
take hold in America is one that
presents a way for a man to save
money in building a modest, substan-
tial home, and provides a way for
men of comparatively humble in
to Fay for their homes over a
period of years.
Private initiative can perhaps solve
this problem better than can overn-
mental agencies. But the problem is
here, and if private initiative does not
solve 1t Governmental initiative will
be forced to solve IL for the benefit
of the country.
The Liberty Loan Lesson.
"The Liberty Loan campaigns of
the war, aside from the military ne
cessitieS they served were worth while
because they forced the great Ameri-
can nation to become q nation of reg
ular savers of money.
I'm home building campaigns. of
the type which strive to serve rather
than to exploit. this very necessary
feature is present. A man saves for
a specific purpose-his home; and he
saves because of a determination to
meet a responsibility-he has signed
his name and given his word to pay
so much at n certain time.
America needs homes. II is now
a problem for real estate and build
ing interests to enlarge and extend
the circle so hat home owning is
made possible to a larger number of
people,

HOME PAPER SHOULD
TAKE FIRST PLACE
Farmers and Editors Can Co.
operate to the Advantage
of Both.
BY WILLIAM A. SUMNER,
Agricultural Bulletin Editor of the
University of Wisconsin.


The paper edited and published in
the home community should be the
first paper to which the farmer sub
'ScribeS Tho we'll edited weekly does
not and should not take any but the
leading position when placed in COM
petition with the farmers other read
ing matter-the farm paper, the mar
ket journal or the popular magazine.
Because of the strategic place Of the
weekly in the building of a prosperous
community where the editor ranks
with the pastor or priest, the school
teacher and the county agent, most
farmers see the wisdom of supporting
their home paper first of all. Besides
receiving the weekly news of the
neighbOrhOOd, the farmer receives a
dividend payable in goodwill and
community prosperity and progress.
AS farmers come to advertise more
and more, they will readily realize
that the local weekly offers in many
instances the best advertising space
they can buy. For the average farmer,
the nearby weekly papers will give
the largest return at the lowest cost.
Naturally farmers having an unusual
amount of stock Of superior quality
will find it necessary to seek a larger
buying public than is found near at
home.
Many progressive Wisconsin farm
ers are finding that a we'll printed let
terhead is q profitable business in
vestment. The local paper is usually
in a position to not only print neat
and effective letterhead, but also to
help design and arrange it. The country
editor can be, and often is, the first
advertising counselor OF the town and
country population.
The editor of a weekly paper is one
of the best friends a progressive farm
er can have-and the rule works back
ward, too. The farmer is the most
valuable friend that the editor can
gain. The two working together and
in harmony can render a great SER
vice to themselves and the home COM
munity.
