Community
 WHEN tremendous things were in the doing w and the making over there, there was no voice of discord in this land.
 Men. women and children stood back of the soldiers with work, with money and with the overfowing of anxious and grateful hearts.
 There was no littleness anywhere. When it was over. the tension lifted and the grandeur of it made history, the humdrum took up where 1t had left off. The bickerings, to which the human family is subject when all goes welL were re- newed. srs
 Many returned soldier had his ideals shat tered when he found his people as engrossed as ever in the making of money, in the Inspirations of politics and in the other petty things that come to the fore between whles of the crises that now and then arise. ~~saa~##~ad
 Humanity cannot reside in the higher regions permanently Life in the main is the plalnest kind of performance and presents the most com monplace of experiences The human mind and the human heart are not framed for continuous entertainment of the sublime.
 Existence is divided between wakeful and sleeping hours. The man who is alert when he IS awake IS ne who mas JdkeIl llDoIdIy Ol olCCp' Sleep does not change the nature of the most ac- tive child It provides him with the bone and sinew to be the more alive when he is awake. 4 This people threw that great event aside just as soon as it could. It was well prepared to con- duct the greatest war in history, because pri- mariy it loves peace. Itfought 1t to the quicker finish in order to secure peace As soon as 1t got peace it discarded war until such time as 1t may again menace peace.
 No ideals were lost. Our Fourth of July of modern times would have seemed sacrilege to Patrick Henry had he slept century and then come back to earth However, had he returned during the World war and seen the patriotic fervor with which the land was suffused, he would have said it was most assuredly the same country in whose name he had challenged the hosts of Britain.
 So the returned soldiers must realize that what this country did for them at the front in Flanders it will do for it's own if called upon for another such sacrifice. The same people who did the petty things of everyday life before the war and have been doing them ever since, are the people who voted tax on tax and bought issue after issue of Liberty Bonds that their soldiers might fare like none others in the history of the world had fared before.
 Armsice Day will be celebrated Birmingham in fine style We will not feel the exalted state of mind heart when the soldiers the front and knew boys names would the casualty t deep down every viscea there is the abiding love them and the same ad miration of their herolsm.

JEMlSON'S Realty Review

The usual after election impetus to the realty market has been marked by increased activity in vacant residential property. The steady, reduction in the cost of building, caused by surplus of lumber and other materials, as well as the increase in the labor sup ply, is causing many people in the Birmingham district to plan a home now instead of waiting until spring.
 We think they display keen foresight in this decision because there is little building activity m the north during the winter months, which results in cheaper building materials and better labor supply. As soon as warm weather arrives there will be a general building boom throughout the country, we believe, not only of residences and business houses, of which there is a great shortage, but of railroad construction and highways.
 HEAVY DEMAND FOR LOTS EXPECTED Vacant lots are the only prop erty which has shown no advance during the past five years. The cessation of building operations has brought about this result. With the building boom now im- nlinent, vacant residence property, we believe, will follow the trend of other property which has so great ly enhanced in value in recent years. One cause which we believe makes this certain, is the fact that there will be little if any develop ment of unimproved property suitable for residences. The util- ities companies have not the money nor the credit with which to ex- tend car lines, gas and water mains, electric service nor tele- phone systems. Municipalities cannot find market for their | bonds to extend sewer systems. | Without these improvements, de- sirable residential property will not be offered.
 MOUNTAIN TERRACE AND CENTRAL PARK Due to the restrictions placed on | home construction by us on our | Mountain Terrace property, there | is a steady demand for these lots. The people who build elegant homes desire to be assured that no
 undesirable construction will take
 place near their property.
 Many people are solving the bo,sinp situation by building com
 fortable homes at reasonable
 prices in Central Park. These
 large lots, which allow room for
 garden, chickens, etc., help many
 families in solving the high cost
 of living.
