others the blame you feel belongs e

BUILDING WORK IS ON
INCREASE EVERYWHERE

New construction work in the
Omitted States has recently. been go
Ing along at the rate of $50 600, 900,
as against $50. 200. 900 a week during
November. an increase OF 20 per cent.
1t is interesting to note that dur
ing the past two weeks more con-
tracts have been let for residential
buildings than for any other class
Of structures, with business buildings
coming second.
Labor conditions are more gener-
ally stabilized than they have been
for several months. but there is still
a great shortage OF materials, and
this is retarding building operations.
Manufacturers OF materials that ell
ter into building construction arc
unanimous in stating that the present
shortage will not be overcome for
an indefinite period. While present
prices OF materials have begn re-
sponsible in some measure Cor the
restriction Of building operations, it
Is the consensus OF opinioh nong
the manufacturers OF these materials
that as soon as general labor condi-
ttons become stabilized building oper-
ations will go forward at a greater
rate than they have during the past
four years.
There Is still a marked shortage
OF both homes and commercial build
inzs, and this condition is not being
relieved. despite the strong pressure
for more structures.

BUILDING THREATENED
BY LUMBER SHORTAGE

The highly acute condition now
prevailing in the domestic market
should be promptly realized by every
producer and consumer of forest
products says the Lumber Export
Bulletin.
I'VE. are facing a situation capable
of producing panicky relations. The
mills are running on a hand-to-mouth
basis with alarming slight log re-
serves, while their yard stocks are
admittedly far below normal, and are
obviously due to remain in this I'M
balanced condition for some time,
since the winter season Is not likely
to offer an opportunity for their re-
cuperation. particularly If the de-
mand continues even to approximate
its present proportions. These facts
are widely recognized, as is borne
out by the constant refusal OF mills
to accept many orders for future de-
livery and by the pressing activities
OF buyers in their attempts to place
orders now to meet their require
ments for next spring, when it is con-
fidently anticipated that prices will
be at year high levels.
''The above conditions arc most
clearly marked in the harwood field.
There is no blinking the fact that
prices for this lumber will be at un-
heard-of figures next year. The recent
renewal of activity on the part of
buyers was undoubtedly occasioned by
the rather sudden realization that OBJ
tainable stocks are very scarce, and
going to continue SO.
yellow pine conditions are similar,
although to less extent. Prices con-
tiHue strong in upper grades, as a
result Of low stocks. Interest in COM
non stocks is not exactly tagging,
but is not so stiff. Since it seems un-
likely that the supply of timbers will
equal the demand for some time. it is
not unreasonable to anticipate a GER
tain amodnt of substitution of lowers.
Production here is fairly good.

At the Black Hawk.

Selfish Yates" showing at the
Black Hawk theatre tomorrow, fea-
turing William S. Hart. in western
productions. is said to be one of the
most remarkable pictures in which
that sterling portrayer of western
roles has yet been seen. Imagine
Mr.. Hart as a confirmed egotist,
whose motto is myself first and to
the devil with all others" That is
Selfish" Yates. the supreme mas
ter of the sordid clique in Thirsty
Center over which he presides.
But it is the woman, the simple,
sweet, innocent little woman, who,
by the magic force of her compell-
ing eye and soft yet rigorous ex-
ample, Iedeems him from his shock
ing mental condition and brings
him to a realization that the love
for a noble woman has a subtle
power to the force of which ego
tism and seifishness must sue
cumb.
AS Selfish" Yates, Mr.. Hart af-
fords his admirers another of those
strong, robust western character
iZatioIS, FOR which he is famous.

his new Paramount picture, The
Girl Dodger," at the Spencer to
morrow and Monday, when he pCr-
trays a young man who has inner
tied great fear from his mother,

severe shock and later the lad is
born with fear in him.
His father is slain by rustlers
and he is sent east 10 be educated.
When he is grown to manhood he
comes west to rescue the cattle
man who sent him east. This man
has been taken prisoner by a gang
Of cattle rustlers who were enc
mics of the boys father
Then begins the great struggle.
All the boys inherited fear prompts
him to turn back. But he takes a
firm grip on himself. pulls himself
together and enters the domain of
the cattle thieves. He learns whore
his benefactor is hidden and he
meets the niece of his enemy, tn F.,
chief of the cattle thieves. He falls
in love with the girl, and together
they rescue the cattleman who is

age and regained his self-respect,
the lad brings about a reCOnc.lia-
ton between the cattle rustlers and
the law-and-order element Of the
country.
