Senator UnderwOOd's
 Advice on Building

The Industrial Index, in calling atten- ton to Senator Underwoods remarks a: a luncheon of the Birmingham Real Els tate exchange quoted with approval thus:
 Building materials are not up In price, at least all of them are not, but the dollar has gone down and WIT stay down for long time. There may be some falling off, but as long as YOU have the great amount of dollars to pay more for what you need you lose nothing by the higher values or materials
 Continuing, Senator Underwood said; Persons who will not build now because they have to pay more dollars for the material and the labor are taking the wrong view; they are measuring by the wrong standard, the wrong yardst1ck' We are not going to get back to 1914 for a long time.'
 He advised the immediate renewal of building activities. and urged the real estate dealers to convince the public that it is not an unsafe busi- ness proposition to buy materials and build now.
 Senator Underwood's ideas upon the wisdom of building immediately are thor oughly in line with the growing pupilc opinion in the south. Those who at flrse were inclined to await for what they hoped might be a decrease in the cost or building have realized that such a de- crease-in substantial measure-cannor come in sometime; that as long as the prices of other great commodities re' main higher the prices of building mate rials and the cost of labor cannot be de- creased.
 The amount of building that has peer begun in the south, and especially III the southeast, and the much greate' volume that is definitely planned TOT the immediate future demonstrates unnis~ takablv the opinion in the south regard ing the wisdom of building now.

Optimism Spreading Strongly Activity Advertising of Far Reached Significance
 Building Is Increasing In Volume Great Year Ahead

Prosperity is the rule throughout the south. If the new era has not made its appearance as early as some people had hoped and expected it is here as early as common sense could visualize it
 But good times are coming on apace and commercial conditions are loo per cent better now than they were several weeks ago.
 One of the best evidences of general prosperity is the advertising expansion that is seen locally and nationally. The advertising agent was never so busy in this part of the country as he is today This fact is of far reaching significance, and portends much for the immediate future.
 The Holland letters have been uniform, iy optimistic, and reasons are given why Che era of prosperity should be soon in full swing. A week or~ two ago Holland forecast record boom in 1920 He now sees the boom looming up ill the present year.

Sheffield. March (Special.)-ln the nitrate plant zone in and around Sheffield continued business expansion and commercial activity is making for satisfactory employment of labor Practically no complaint whatever is heard here regarding unemployment, but on the other hand there is steady demand for both skilled and unskilled labor Everybody here now. from in- fancy to senility, is working at some thing, all striving apparently to make this one of the busy industrial cen- ters of the United States.
 Despite the fact that 1t has been ru- mored that the nitrate plants are stripped of nien and fast being put out of commission, there is still a great deal of activity. A call was issued Sat urday to the employment office In Sheffield for 500 men, whose services are needed at Nitrate Plant No. ?. A majority of the number were wanted for skilled work at the plant.
 At Nitrate Plant No. there Is con siderable activity. although the sever al units of the plant are not all In op- eration Certain conditions obtain at this plant that indubitably indicate the governments intention to keep the plant intact for it's present and future usefulness. The various units of the plant have all been given operation tests,and found satisfactory in every respect. It is semiofficially reported that the General Chemical company Is bidding for the plant. Should this company acquire the plant. it's full op- eration would naturally follow. This

 Progressive Industry

The paint manufacturing department of the Southern Cotton Oil company enormous business in Savannah is now the largest establishment of the kind south of Baltimore and St. Louis. It's sales cover the territory from Pennsyl- vania to the middle western states and from Florida to the Mexican border, says the Industrial Index.
 Fifteen salesmen, who will sell direct to the consumer, are employed by the paint manufacturing department. Last year the sales amounted to s3,000,o00. In 1908 the first year after the establish ment of the paint manufacturing de- partment, the sales amounted to sss,o0
 Selling direct to the consumer has been one of the departments hobbies As service to the customer means that the paint which he buys must give com plete satisfaction it has been found best to have the direct contact between the consumer and the salesman.
 The plant maintains a large labora- tory, besides small physical test room at the plant for the correct testing of all interior and exterior paints. By calling into it's service some of the best chemists the plant is able to boast of quality ,of paint that has stood the tests of ex- tremes of atmospheric and climatic con ditions

Electric Power Now
 Used for Oil Drill

A Wichita Falls, Tex, special to the Manufacturers Record says: Electric power is being extensively used for operating oil well pumps in the Burk- burnett field. The Wichita Falls Elec- tric company extended it's power trans mission line to the new oil producing field, and is now supplying more than 40 producng concerns with power TOT pumping their wells. Some of the oil operating companies have installed as many as 15 electric motors upon as many wells. Electric power is also used for "swabbing" the wells, and It is to be adopted for drilling wells as soon as the necessary equipment can be obtained, it is stated
 F. N Lawton, general manager of the Wichita Falls Electric company, says the transmission system Is being eN- tended to various points the Burk- burnett field outside of the Burkbur- nett town site, where many producing wells are situated. He said:
 The electric power system of pump ing and swabbing the wells is proving attractive to oil men because or the economy of the method and the relia- bility on such service as protection against fire and exposure.
 The city council of Burkburnett IS strongly recommending the use or eIec- tric power because of the elimination of fire hazards.
 'Burkburnett also is to have new water supply from wells located near the Red river continued Mir. Lawton, "and these pumps will be operated by electric motors from line to be ex- tended from the sub-station at Burk- burnett The substation will be en- larged norder to take care of the nu- merous branch circuits which will dis tribute power to the oil field.
 At present the electric method is be- ing applied only to wells directly in the townsite, but arrangements will De made to extend the service. Burkbur- nett is the only oil pool in Texas, eX- cept on the gulf coast, where the use of electric motors for pumping and swabbing has been adopted.

year or more France and Belgium are in like condition. The machinery TOT manufacturing cotton goods Tn these countries has been utterly destroyed Germany and Austria lack financial aoll- ity to pay for the normal amount of cot ton used by them before the war ana they will not be permitted to take more than a limited amount for months to come, because France and England are opposed to giving them any adV3ntase in commercial lines.
 Of the worlds 100000 spindles, at least S0000,0O0 are idle or have been de- stroyed.
 with thesa facts before him. no intel igent farmeri will plant the usual acre age in cotton this spring expecting profitable return from the crop.
 The needs of Europe now are for food which must come chiefly from Amerlca.
 Food cargoes will be given precedence as there is not enough shipping aNaud ble to carry both food and the norma amount of cotton to Europe. even If there were a normal demand for cotton
 With much of last years cotton crop on hand and with but a limited demand for it now and that at price below the cost of production, with many or the mills of this and other countries ldle the inevitable effect of normal crop of cotton this year will be to force the pflce below the cost of production.
 "On the other hand, with an aohofmaf demand for food supplies of all klnds with a scarcity in this country or corn and other feedstuffs, and with the hlgh price for them now prevailing It seems to be much wiser and far more pronta- ble for the farmer to plant at least one third of his usual cotton acreage in food and feed crops
 ITO convince anyone that cotton acre age reduction is the part of wisdom TOT 1el9 we need only to recall the condl- ticns existing at the beginning of the war. when the business men of America were appealed to buy a bale at cents in order to save the farmers or the sou'h ioI. of
