For Good of

 might profitably use looking glass in- stead. The manhood that serves the country is that which acts subjectively- works on itself, not on others. The man busy doing good has not the time to notice and find fault with the loafer.
 The folk building homes have the go- ahead spirit That is the kind that gets ahead Many home has been acquired on shoestring. It can be done now by those wishing to do so Such as,these are in no danger of being changed into pillars of salt for gazing on the ruins behind them.
 The United States department of labor in a report on price changes has this to say:
 Comparing prices in March with those of year ago 1t is shown that wholesale food prices had declined as follows:
 Food-39 per cent.
 Cloths and Clothing -46 per cent
 Farm Products -48 per cent
 House Furnishings and Chemi- calls -164 per cent.
 Building Materials per cent. Fuel and lighting show no decrease. In these two instances it might be borne in mind that lighting did not participate in the war period increases to the degree of other items and that coal is still under war period expense of production.
 In Birmingham it has been shown that ho 1oiI n +Io now at $1 to $2 under the fall and winter price.
 Brick for building is down 35 to 40 per cent. All iron and steel products are down, iron 50 per cent. Radiators are down; stoves are down.
 Birmingham was last to be hit and hit least hard of all the industrial cities. On Monday the plate mill at Fairfield went on double turn.
 The Birmingham Water Works com pany IS installing water connections at the rate of ten day. It made forty con- nections in the first quarter of the year. The present pace of installation is 300 per month, or 2,7OO for the remainder of the year With the 400 already made indi- cations point to 5, 100 for 1921
 Up to April 15 permits for residences alone numbered 416 The daily connec- tions being made by the water company mean that new residences and storehouses are being built at the rate of ten per diem. Birmingham people are not waiting for the bottom to drop out A singular healthy y-mindedness seems to pervade the middle strata of society. It is placing it's roof-trees and it's family altars without jealous eye on the possible lower prices that might be obtained by waiting while longer.
 They are Starting something,' as sug- gested by the governor of the federal re- serve board. They have the gumption to realize that the time to start has arrived; that responsibility is not gained by wear ing pantaloons with holes in them when new pair may be gotten at price within the reach of the man needing new set of leg coverers.
