VERY LITTLE NOPE FOR
 CHEAPER MATERIAL
Now is the Best Time to Build. Says Little Rock "HOme Builder."
 Prices Remain High.

Little Rock, May Rebuilding mat erial will not be cheaper for a long time and the man who is putting off building awaiting a decline in prices of material is following forlorn hope, according to Henry w. Graupner, who is doing considerable building in Little Rock this summer. MT. Graupner styles himself as home builder" and apparently with very good cause, He has built Fl homes in Little Rock in the last eight months
 "The high cost of building is high enough, says MT. Graupner, but it is fact that the increase in the cost of building has not kept up with the in- crease in the cost of living, the cost of clothing, and the cost of almost every thing else. The average five and six room house that cost $7,000 could at no time in the past ten years be bought for less than $4,O00. That is an in crease, to be sure, but it is not an in crease equal to the advance that has been made in rents, The $4,00O house of five years ago rented for about $25. The $7,000 of today rents for $75 per month. The cost of owning is not quite twice as great while the cost of renting has increased three times.
 "The best time to build is right now. It is cheaper to build now than it will
 be for long time for there is no pos sibility of a reduction in the cost of building material. All of the mills in the country are from IS months to two years oversold and they have little chance of catching up for long time."
 MT, Graupner is building houses all over Little Rock. He builds them and then sells them on the install inent plan, If his customer owns a lot he puts up the house, but if the customers hasn't the lot he will sup ply that also. He says that his plan is proving very popular with people who have tired of paying rent, but are not able to pay cash for home of their own.

I knew Of to get relief but nothing
did me a particle of good. and it was

finally decided to try it myself. and
it is simply wonderful the way it
helped me. My appetite improved
and the rheumatism got easier.
just felt so much better that kept
right on taking Tanlac, and now I
feel like different woman. I can
eat anything 1 want, including green's
and other things that were like poi
son to me before. I can not express
in words just how grateful am to
Tanlac for what it has done for me.

Waterloo. June City Sanitary
Inspector C. L. McDermott found two
car loads of potatoes and ono car
load of cabbage dumped In the old
paper mill race, while investigating
another call Saturday afternoon.
About half the cargo Of foodstuff
Is said to be still in good condition.
An empty car stood on the spur Of
the Rock Island railroad, which runs
down to the old race. 1t contained
broken leaves Of the cabbage. there
by giving mute testimony that the
wilful destruction of cabbage had
been recent.
Mr.. McDermott is indignant be-
cause Of the seeming wanton waste
and is determined to prosecute the
case to the fullest extent.
Discovery Of the dumpage was
made Incidentally. A complaint
was received stating certain person
living in Riverside was hauling gar
bage for his hogs. Mr.. McDermott
found his man and started to take
him to task for violating city ordi-
nance by hauling garbage thru the
streets. With rising indignation. the
man replied:
Il suppose it's q HEX Of q crime for
me to haul bushel basket full of
garbage thru the streets. but some
one else can dump vegetables In the
city limits by the car load"
This was the first Mr.. McDermott
had heard OF the affair. Inquiry
brought more explicit explanation.
The result Of the conference was the
sanitary inspector visited the old mill
race, near the corner OF Ogle and
Winona avenue, and found the above
cargo in the abandoned water.
Careful examination caused the
Inspector to estimate that about half
the potatoes and cabbage were still
in good condition.
Altho the owner OF the cargo Is
unknown, Mr.. McDermott says he
will bring action against the Rock
Island railroad, as there seems no
doubt to him that they were the car
riers In the case. He secured the
number Of the empty car In which
the cabbage Is said to have been
hauled. The matter win be taken UP
with City Attorney Elmer Feeley to
see what can be done about the
case.
