SITUATION In. BARI
PROVINCE is GRAVE
lRx The Assnclated Press

Rome, Feb. 26.--The situation in
Bari province is grave following
the clashes between socialists and
members of the fascist, or extreme
nationalist party, and the struggle
is assuming a dangerous aspect,
says dispatch to the Tempo to-
day. The general strike pro-
claimed by the socialists has eX-
tended.
Mlnervingo Murge may be con
sidered prey to civil war, accord
ing to the dispatch and armed
bands continue to overrun the
countryside, where bloody encoun-
tiers are occurring. At Terllzzl the
socialists attempted to storm an
agrarian club. The police fired
wounding some soldiers. Similar
incidents occurred at Putignano
and Noel.
AT Conversano dozen persons
were wounded, three seriously, in
Gliding a lieutenant, who died.
"The situation in Bari is not en-
tirely the fault of the peasants,
says the Tempo, "but is largely due
to the refusal Of the land owners
to make promised concessions fol
lowing the war.
The government has sent rein.
forcements, which it is believed
will soon control the situation.

BUY YOUR HOME NOW

w. NJ. Franklin, member of
Franklin & Co., real estate, says
that spring is the time when the
home instinct begins to stir most
in the breast of the average hu-
man. He may be forced by neces-
sity to seek for a home at other
times, but it is the spring when the
man and woman want their own
roof and vine and fig tree.
Dealers in real estate know this
and are always prepared to offer
the most attractive buys to the
home seeker.
There is more in owning a home
than the average person is aware;
more confidence in self. more re-
spect by your neighbor, better eff
ficiency in your work.
A noted manufacturer is respon-
sible for the statement that men
who own their homes are more eff
| ficient and reliable, taking interest
in their own as well as the affairs
of their employers.
1t is also shown that the death
rate among children whose parents
own their homes is much smaller.
These are matters worth think
ing about when the opportunity is
being presented to people to stop
paying rent and own a home OF
your own.
Building will not be any cheaper
for long time, in fact we are
liable to have an advance this
! spring when the building season
begins. Already in many cities the
advance has begun.
We are short in the United
states about three million homes,
lust what Albuquerque proportion
! has not been figured out but the
, fact is well known that the demand
| far exceeds the supply.
! The demand for vacant lots is
improving, our firm having sold In
the last thirty days more than fif-
! teen thousand dollars worth in the
| Albright Moore addition. many of
them with homes already or in the
course of construction.
With the new hotel. the First
National bank, the National Life
and other buildings Albuquerque
should have this year one of the
largest building booms in its his
| tory.
Property is still cheap here as
! compared to other cities and those
| that wait for lower prices VIII wake
IN some day and find tho process
sion has passed them by.
