A GREAT BUILDING
MOVEMENT


Prices of lumber and labor re-
turning to normal is expediting a
great forward movement in building
all over the country.
The cost of living in many in
stances has almost reached the nor
NAL of pre-war days, while some
items may go still lower during the
coming six months.
The monthly compilation of the
national industrial conference board
shows that the cost of living in Sep
TENDER was SIS per cent above that
OF July, 1914.
This is the same as prevailed at
the time of the Armistice in Noyem-
Der, 1918, and represents a decline
of 20 per cent from the peak in 1920.
The different elements entering
into the general index have not de-
clined in proportion, however. Food
and clothing have declined conspic-
uously but the rents and fuel remain
high.
All these facts indicate greater
employment in the building trades
and also an increased demand for
common labor, taking up unemploy-
ment.
The future of the lumber industry
predicted on these facts is brighter
than it has been for number of
years and seems to have permanenee.

RECLAMATION OF
THH HONIE

Governor Davis of Idaho empha-
sizes the need of reclamation in the
home and intimates the home and
church are losing their control.
To overcome this national weak
ness he makes an appeal to parents
to correct the ideas of wastefulness
and extravagancies begot by war.
Family life must return to a sane
and conservative basis and we must
let up in making criminals by rails
ing children in idleness.
Fathers and mothers must spend
more time with their own children
instead of turning them over to
schools, clubs and streets to raise.
Habits OF industry can only be &C
Iquired by boys and girls when par
ents work with them instead of CIV
ing them money to spend on pleas
ure.
Honest labor and habits of saving
will form more character than scold-
ing, lecturing and passing laws to
safeguard youth.
We have got to get back to the
principle that there is only one hon
est way to get money and have 1t to

THE KNOoKER,s PRAYER

Lord, please don't let this
town grow. I've been here for
thirty years, and during that
time I've fought every public
improvement; I've knocked ev-
erything and everybody; no firm
or individual has established a
business without my doing all I
could to put them out of bust
ness. I've lied about them, and
I would have stolen from them
If I had the courage. I've done
all I could to keep the town
from growing and never spoken
a good word for 1t. I've put
ashes on the children's slide
and have the marshal stop the
boys from playing on my vacant
lot. Whenever / saw anyone
prospecting or enjoying them
selves I've started a reform to
kill the business or spoil the fun
don't want the young folks to
stay in this town, and will do
all can by law, rule and ordi-
nance to drive them away. It
pains me, o Lord to see that in
spite OF my knocking it ia begin
ming to grow. Some day / will
be called upon to put down side
walks in front Of my property,
and who knows but what / may
have to keep up tine streets that
