NOW Is The TINE TO BUILD

Building has been almost at a
stand-stlll since the beginning of the
European War. This was brought
about because Of the high price of
lumber, scarcity of labor and the
nigh price Of various things that
entered into the construction of
buildings. The time has now come
to get busy on the building PROPOSE
ton again, the sooner the better.
There is no use to wait for low prices
because it is doubtful il we ever get
back to the price levels that existed
before the war.
Other thing are going to stay com
paratvely high as long as farm
produce remains high and certainly
all Of US want to get all we can for
what is produced on our farms. Sc
let's forget about this proposition OF
waiting for lumber to 60 down to
build. It has been estimated that
the next ten years will see practio-
all Of the pine lumber in the South
cut out and I would not be at all
surprised to see lumber go up in
stead CT down. Therefore. so ahead
with the building as needed. It is a
good business policy to do this.

the Government guarantees stamp
owners against loss by theft OF de-
struction, and insures payment OF
the value of the stamps only to
bona fde owners.

IN. ".
Gentlemen:
About three years ago was taken
with a severe case of rheumatism
and indigestion which caused much
pain and suffering. The best doctors
treated me for months without Civ
ing me any relief. After making a
complete failure of my case they
told me the nerves and muscles of
my legs were SO diseased that |
could never be cured. One of nv
legs at this time had perished away
to half its natural size; then took
all the guaranteed remedies that |
could hear of without getting the
slightest relief. I was finally per-
sua,ed by my wife to try a bottle
Of Garren's Blood Purifier and Tonic
and the results were really wonder
ful. Before | had taken fifty cent
bottle my indigestion was gone and
| could eat and sleep well. The pains
went away and l improved so
rapidly that in less than sixty days
was completely cured. And best
of all, it has been twelve months
since have felt any of my old
symptoms Now I can do all kinds
of heavy lifting without ever feel
ing any inconvenience from nv
rheumatism. am a strong and
healthy man and tip the scales at
1S0 pounds.

luS Olu l1lChCry (0U) DIVISION
Association which recently opened
headquarters at Georgetown, S. c.,
announces change in the date Of
the first reunion to be he held at
Greenville, S. c. The original date
set for the first reunion was Sep
tember 28th-29th, but because of
the fact that September 2Sth will
be Sunday the date has been chang
ed to September 10Th to 30th, the
anniversary of the breaking of the
great Hindenburg line by the 3Oth
Division, American E. F.
The committee on organization
composed of General L. D. Tyson,
of Knoxville, Tennessee, Colonel
Holmes B. Springs, of Georgetown,
and Colonel Albert Cox of Raleigh,
met at Raleigh on May Oath and
selected Greenville as the city for
the first reunion, and selected Sep
,ember 29th-30th as the date there
for.
This association was organized
at lie Mans (Sarthe) France, just
prior to the return of the Division
to t h United State
and was the first organization of
Its kind to be formed among the
United States forces in France. Col.
Springs was chosen as temporary
Chairman of the organization, and
Frank P. Bowen, of Knoxville, Tenn,
Secretary-Treasurer.
Mr.. Bowen opened headquarters
at Georgetown with approximately
10000 members, and states that at
the end of the publicity campaign
which will shortly be inaugurated
he hoped to have at least 10000.

United States. Greenville is
beautiful city with a pop ulatioD

many thousands expected at the
convention. Officers and men of
the division who fought together

the war together with their wives,
mothers and sWeethearts, are eX-
ed TO meet at the first convention

at any time served with the divis-
ION, either in the United States or
abroad, are eligible for member

ship; at Cowarts, Tuckaseigee and
Webster. What county can beat
Jackson?
Everywhere the people showed
great interest and good behavior.
The slides and talks on Community
Improvement and Papers and
Phones were approved of by all the
people. 1t seems that before many
days all the people will be reading
the Jackson County Journal and
the Progressive Farmer. The Jack
son County Journal is working hard
to help the people by using one page
for County and Home Demonstra-
tlon work. Everybody take it. You
want to be progressive. Take the
Progressive Farmer, also.
Mr.. SIoss told Mr.. Rhinehart and
County Agent that these were the
most interesting meetings he had
been in. At Webster, after reflect
ing over the experiences of the week
ne feelingly said Jackson County
ranks first. After one of the fore
most State men feels this way, how
much should we who live here
work for our County!
Monday, the live stock men met
in Sylvia and agreed to meet again
Aug. IL, at 10 A. M. with the Stock
holders and Directors of the Jack
son County Fair Association. Let
everyone come.
Mr.. Jas. M. Gray will be at the
Farmers Institutes at Qualla and
East Laporte Aug. 6 and 7. Mr..
Boiling Hall wants every potato
raiser in the County to meet him at
these two meetings.

Dear reader: Who will fail to take
the Journal now, when she is re.
porting such progress am one her

Mr. Rhinehart had not seen Glen
Vile nor Cashiers Valley for 48
years. He said the progress along
live stock and general farm lines
made these portions Of the county
seem almost new. But he says the
same appreciative people met him.

sat, as it were, spsllbound. Not a
