such improvements Immediately, and
It is only common foresight and bust
ness prudence which suggests that
every municipality should undertake
important public work at once and
that every man who is thinking
OF building a home should immediate
ly take steps to begin construction.
Lower prices on building supplies,
machinery and equipment REQUIRED
in construction work cannot be ex-
pected for many months to come.
Labor is abundant, stocks of ma
terial are complete, and the general
industrial situation must Inevitably
show decided Improvement when it
becomes generally recognized that
there is much to be gained by
prompth action and that delay is de-
from every point of view.

and road building, should proceed
with all possible vigor. All of the
materials required for this work
can be secured now,' and within a
brief time there will be undoubted-
ly be a shortage i'll certain lines
that will result in further set
back to new construction.
Stocks in many lines are well de-
pleted now 1t is perfectly clear that
as building operations set in more
heavily and the demand for certain
machinery and equipment increases,
there will be natural tendency in
prices to again advance. We do not
mean to say that these advances
will be heavy in very many lines,
but we do wish to emphasize the
fact that there will be shortages in
materials a little later on which at
present do not prevail 1t is only
the part of wisdom for every manu-
facturer who expects to enlarge his
plant to take active steps towards

GOOD REASON FOR BUILDING
NOW.

Pointing out the reasons which
should prompt the resumption OF
building operations at the present
time, the Manufacturers Record
says:
The chief factor in the high price
of construction materials of every
kind is labor. No intelligent man
believes today that the price can be
or should be appreciably reduced
at this time. 1t is clear, therefore,
that there is no advantage to be
gained by delay and that in many
lines of trade there may be a great
er shortage of materials in six
months time than there is today.

of schoolhouses, the erection Of

Soluer Of Business
Problems
THE PROBLEM OF THE EMPTY
MANSION
By HAROLD WHITEHEAD
Boardman NEEDLES

CARPENTER, the Wall street broker
Var Blood, the hotel man, made a
thorough inspection of THE Barracks
the morning after their arrival.
Blood was naturally quite pleased
with the splendid quality Of the furniture
and equipment Of the place. When Eph-
rain Carstairs had fitted up The Bar
racks" for his summer home MS oIai!
stipulation had been 'the best. Inc
result was that THE Barracks was rur-
nished with a completeness and quailty
far beyond the usual summer motel
standard.
Carpenter was anxious to verify the
value OF the physical property. SO ap-
praisers and valuers spent a re" Gays
there on that work. Duke insisted that
the inventory be taken slowly ana only
at infrequent periods, so as to aNoio dis
turbing the guests or arouslng any aues,
tions as to its purpose. Blood agreed
heartily to this.
Matters seemed to be progressing
splendidly. until one day a stranger
came to THE Barracks" and asked to
see Bruno Duke.
IIe had motored TO Bangor to see Miss
Carstairs about arranging for an option
en- THE Barracks" for Carpenter, so l
assumed.
"Unfortunately Mr. Duke is away at
present 7 am Peter Flint. his assist
ant--may do anything for you?'
ooh" he seemed disappointed, I'm
sorry he's gone back to town.
was about to explain that he had
only gone to Bangor and would return
that evening, when he said abruptly:
perhaps you can tell me what 1 want
to know. Is this place for sale?'
al c,Io c
"Of course, the place has been ad-
vertised for sale. but I'm running the
place fer Mr.. Duke as hotel while he
has control Of the sale Of the property.
I didn't get your name. Mr.. -"
"Boardman," he replied-then he
added: "I'd like to spend the evening
here if you can fix me up room. It's
more pleasant here than in stuffy city
hotel"
OF course, did as he wished-vistors
with money looked good to ME.
At lunch he made himself very agree
able, introducing himself to different
people and generally getting acquainted
After a while he met Carpenter and
Blood and it wasn't long before the
three Of them were smoking, laughing
and talking freely. Before long I saw
them talking seriously together-ano
even then my thick head never sensec
anything wrong.
Bruno Duke returned about O'Clock
in the evening, so there was nc chance
to talk to him until after dinner.
! When I told him of Boardman anc
his way of striking up acquaintance:
with everybody, Duke gave an eXclama
ton of annoyance and said:
Really, Peter, I do wish you woult
| pay close attention to names and wha
they stand for"
''T never heard of this man. Board
man." I defended, but I don't see wha
harm he could do whatever he knows
Who is he. anyhow
Hes the head of The Seaboar'
Realtors and a man close to the bi,
people. Hes also the Boardman whit
dominates the policy of the karaby Ba,
National Bank, which holds $500
mortgage on the property. He want
this property himself so much that
fear we are due for a squall"

BUSINESS NOTES


Manufacturers and jobbers OF rubber
goods used In hospitals have been re-
cipientS of large orders from the gov
ernment during the last few weeks. The
demand has been especially strong for
rubber tips for the bottoms of crutches
and for surgeons gloves. When the
armistice was signed the government de-
partments Cancelled many orders that
were placed with the rubber rnanufac-
turers for future delivery. Since the
first of the year, however, these con-
Germs have been receiving new orders
covering the same materials, but in
much smaller quantities.
Manufacturer of face powders and
other toilet preparations Of similar
nature are receiving large orders from
Australian firms. The market for these
goods. as well as perfumes, is said TO
be large in the Antipodes.
month Of January this year were valued
at SO. l56,708. against S1,39O,7O3 in Jan
uary last year. Exports last January
included s72,2o5 dozen pairs Of cotton
with 533,5lO dozen pairs valued al
S1,1o1.3S1 in January. 1918.
Buyers from the West as well az
nearby eastern centers. placed orders
yesterday for considerable quantities of
crepe meteors in all colors and char
meuse. both being satin-fac fabrics
Georgettes. although in fair request are
reported to be slightly easier in price
as are low grade black taffetas. which
have become less popular since the war
terminated. High-grade weaves of all
kinds are said to be in light supply, and
on this account buyers seem to be quite
anxious about having their orders ship
ped promptly.
Importers of hides and skin say that
the next few weeks should develop an
interesting change in the market for
these commodities, now that the labor
! troubles at Buenos Aires are clearing
/ up, and shipments of hides from the
South American port can be expected
here shortly. 1t is estimated that close
to 100000 hides. a large portion OF
which were destined for this country
were detained at Buenos Aires.
