out to the public the advisability and
 economy in building homes now. One
 association of manufacturers alone,
 is expending more than $20,000.00 a month in telling the people of the country of the prospective great for eign demand for American lumber and pointing out the fact that the price of lumber today is far less, by comparison, than that of other i'm portant commodities. Manufacturers of paints, makers of patented build- ing materials and other associated interests are conducting similar cam paigns
 iA Undoubtedly the foremost factor in America home building activity, however, is an intensified sentiment regarding home ownership. The peo- pie of this country never before real ized to such a degree what the home meant; certainly American soldiers who went to the battle fronts of Eur ope and saw the thousands of homes destroyed and the hundredss of thous- ands of homeless people, are coming home with new and more vivid ap- preciation of the comfort contentment and happiness that is found only in the home. The consciousness of the attractions of a real home, and they are coming back hungry for "all the comforts of home"-not for the cheer less hospitality of boarding house or the cramped and artificial envi- ronment of the apartment house.

WORLD WIDE HOME BUILDING BOOM
  IS INSTITUTED
New Record in Construction Expected To Be Set
 This Year.

The greatest home building bloom" the world has ever known will be launched this spring--is, in fact, al-
 ready started. Such is the magni- tude of this unprecedented activity that the human mind cannot fully prasp it's immensity and extent.
 Most of us have at some time seen localities experience "booms" in
 building-even seen, perhaps, whole
 sections of the country undergo a
 process of abnormally rapid devel- opment that entailed an extraordina- " amount of building. But the
 boom "that we have with us today"
 as the after-dinner speakers say, is
 manifesting itself in very civilized
 country in the world-a universal
 stimulus that is moving humanity to
 create more homes. The United States will be no exception among
 countries, for nowhere is the spirit and sentiment for home building so
 pronounced as here.
 1 One purpose of this worldwide
 building activity will be, in Europe an countries, to restore homes that
 were in the path of wars devasta- tion. In this country there are many l factors important in this great move-
 ment. In the first place, the United States is far behind in it's normal
 home building, because such work practically came to a standstill here for more than a year while the na- 1 tion concentrated all it's energies on 1 the prosecution of the war. During 1 that intensive period the Government
 discouraged ome-building, while now
 the national administration is call
 ing upon the people to build, not on- iy as patriotic duty, but as means
 of providing additional employment for returning soldiers and for arti-
 sans released from war production activities. Secretary Wilson of the Department of Labor has caused to
 over the country, large placards ad- vocating immediate home building. During the war it was patriotic not to build, now we can best show our patriotism by building" reads one of 1 these placards. Another reads,
 "Own Home for Your Children's S i Sake, and a third says, "Construc- 1 tion add to the wealth of the coun-
 try-build now" There are others just as urgent. Last but not least l in the influences tending to stimu- ] late home-building throughout the ! this country are the nationwide pub
 licity campaigns being conducted by
 manufacturers of, and dealers in,
 building materials who are pointing

THE BUILDING BOOM.

All over the United States intense interest is being manifested in the building of individual homes. Every encouragement is being offered the laboring man, business man, mer- chant and banker to purchase and build a home of his own, both for the good of the community and for himself.
 When man selects lot, plans his dwelling and settles down to build, he is providing for the future and is realizing an ideal that is as old as the ages. The home is the founda tion of the social, political and busi- ness life of community. Until a man owns his own home and settles down in community that communi- ty has no real hold on him. AS rule he considers himself more or less as a transient until he is established, and his activities in the community are lessened by that same feeling.
 Realizing that more homes means better cities and better cities mean a better nation, the United States gov ernment has inaugurated campaign for the promotion of home building that is nation wide. Other local in- terests have taken up the work and are stimulating interest in their im- mediate vicinities. On the whole their efforts promise immense results.
 Pine Bluff has been suffering from a house shortage for some time. Con- ditions have been slightly improved recently but there is still room for d number of additional dwellings. And it is to be hoped that enough inter- est will be manifested i'll tine nation wide building boom to provide num- Der of new homes so that Pine Bluff can keep pace with. the other cities of the state and country.

Teutohs in History.

The term Teuton is of Latin origin,
 in ancient times the part of Europe
 now embraced in Germany was called lGermania, and one of the principal tribes of the country was called by the civilized Romans Teutons, just as wa speak of the Apache Indian. Being a fierce and warlike people they gave the Romans great deal of trouble, and xs they were the do1ainant tribe of that region the name of Teutons gradually cume to be applied to all the people oc' cupying what was called Germania. II
 has survived in the form of Teutons.

BEAT H. C. L. WITH BEANS.

 Washington, D. C., March 22.- Plenty of them at prices much lower than last year-are ready to replace higher priced foods in America's $ meals. Only last year the cartoon ists were having fun with the hum- l ble bean, for it, too, was skyrock- eting in price, but today it's down. way down below last years prices. and there's joy in other places than Boston.
 Reports on bean prices from the Bureau of Markets, Department of Agriculture, show that beans have dropped 3 to cents a pound at whole sale since March last year, and in California growers are saying that they will not sell if beans go any lower at shipping points. Plentiful supplies are reported in producing sections, and retailers are already selling beans at reduced prices in many cities.
 If folks are really going to swat Old Man H. c. L. with priced beans, officials say, it will result in the use of more catsup and chilli sauce-which means more tomatoes and peppers, although some prefer 'em with molasses and others with vinegar Of course, "Boston baked" will come into it's own
 It is always possible to arouse a discussion over baked beans, for some like them cooked fairly dry, while others like them moist; some like molasses in them and some do not. Each family should try it diff ferent kinds and then stick to the one it likes best. To most New Englanders "Boston Baked Beans" means beans cooked in covered bean pot for long time, which are very moist when done and which have been seasoned with little molasses.
 Here is recipe for which is such an old favorite that it needs no rec |ommendation.
 Boston Baked Beans.
 Soak one quart beans and cook un- til tender, but not so soft that they will fall apart. If desired, ne-fourth pound of salt pork may be cooked with them. When tender, add one half teaspoon mustard, one table spoon sugar or two tablespoons mo- lasses, and one tablespoon salt. Bake in covered dish for one and one half hours, leaving them uncovered for at least 15 minutes.
 If you have any beans left over why not make loaf that you can serve for dinner in place of meat? Instead of Meat Loaf. 2 cups cooked beans, cup cook ed rice, cup bread crumbs, egg, tablespoon fat. 1-2 teaspoon salt or 1 teaspoon if the rice is unsalted, Is teasoon paprika.
 Put the beans through sieve or grind in a meat grinder. Mix all the ingredients we'll. Form into a loaf and bake until brown. Or cro- bread crumbs and in the oven. Baste frequently with amount of liquid con taining a tablespoon of fat to cup of hot water.
 If you don't "know beans" try these recipes and find out how good they are.

 The bandits opened fire with rife bullets puncturing the wings of the American machine. Observer Cooper ward one horse was observed stard- ing without a rider.f The third horse man dismounted and, climbing up the side of the mountain, disappeared. Neither Aviator was hit.
 Reports from all troops in the field in Mexico indicate progress is being made in searching the mountain can- yons and passes for the bandits who held Aviators Peterson and Davis.
 Four airplanes, which arrived last night from Fort Bliss, near Ell Paso, were to augment the air protection of the Eighth Cavalry in Mexico today.
 The rains last night are believed to have wiped out the trails of the ban dits, but it was not without it's ad- vantages, however, for the softcned than the trails made previous to the rain.
 Reports from the field in Mexico today told how the Americans spen1 the night in the Mexican mountains. The troopers slept in canyons, on trails, wherever they happened to be when it grew too dark to continue their pursuit. Sentries were station ed at entrances to canyons and at high points on trails to prevent an ambush or surprise attack.

DAYLIGHT SAVING
 LAW IS REPEALED
Measure is Passed Over the Presidents VetO-Passes in Senate by Vote of 57 to 19- Repeal Twice Vetoed.

Washington, Aug. 20.-Repeal of the daylight savings act was accom- plished today, the Senate voting to sustain the House in passing the re- peal measure over President Wilson's veto. The vote was 57 to 19.
 The repeal of the law which now takes it's place among the very few which have been passed over a presi- dential veto, becomes effective after the clocks are turned back to normal in October. It will go down in legis- lative history as one of the very few measures which have twice been ve- toed by president and became law after all by the vote of more than two-thirds in both houses of Con- gress.
