same periods Of 1913 and 1920. Permits in these periods were as follows:
 1919-875.
 1920-1,000.
 1921-1,359.
 The total amount involved in the first quarter of 1921 was greater than in the same periods in 1919 and 1920. The figures are:
 1919-$444,447.
 1920-S1, ,228,OOO
 1921-$1, ,443,159.
 The number of permits for residences was greater in the first quarter of 1921 than in the same periods of 1919 and 1920. There were nearly four times as many permits for residences in the first quarter of 1921 as in the first quarters of last year. The figures are:
 192O-92
 1921-332.
 The acceleration of pace is what counts See how the residence building permit record has dashed ahead. In Jan- uary the residence permits amounted to 54, in February to no and in March to 168. The total of 332 residence permits for the quarter compares with 476 resi- dence permits during the entire year 1920 With the issuance of IA more resi- dence permits the entire record of 1920 will have been reached.
 Not only has March broken all prior records in the number of permits issued for residences, but it has broken the months record in the total valuation of permits during any month of the past two years. Its record of $700,000 was near est approached by the previous high of $610,000 in July, 1919.
 Those who talk of mankind's waning love for home" are in a class with those who have written alarming treatises on race suicide. There is no wane in the love of home. There cannot be so long as one man and one woman form bond in which children are the motive and the binding force.
 This love of home is reflected not only in the residences that are being built, but in the churches and the schools that are rising. It is reflected in the auditorium, in the Masonic temple, in the Y. M. H. A. building. These are pitched as embattle- ments about the homes of the land.
 Just as soon as men could build homes they began doing so. Right pitiful was the exhortation to men and to women to raise family altars and to establish their family roof-trees when the material was out of their reach. What a wealth of reasoning on general principles was sent futilely when it was impossible to reduce the general principles to the concrete.
 When the prices got within reach of the home seeker, the home began to rise. It always will where men are able to build. There are some industries still halting be- cause men are not willing yet to put the pruning knife to their own charges As in the case of material, men, labor and what not connected with the building of homes, this is about to be done. Then the whole fabric will bristle with vibrant energy
 It remains a tribute to the love of home that homes began to be built just as soon as men could build.
 Yours for upbuilding,

1SUS REPORT OF
KENTUCKY HORSES
&s War Department Is Inter.
ested In the Increase Of
.Pure-Bred Horses

s"There Is the utmost need In this
country today Of increasing the num-
ber of pureJbred horses, particularly
those Of the thoroughbred type, on
wHch the War Department must de-
pend for its cavalry mounts in case Of
national emergency
Tho above Is . passage from the
statement by Col. Frank s. Armstrong.
Chlxft Of the U. s. Army Remount Serv-
icesrelative to the 1920 census of Ken
tucky horses.
Y The uneasiness Of practical, patri-
xHtdc men like Colonel Armstrong over
The situation was amply justified by
the lesson Of the last great war, which
so strikingly demonstrated the value
Of the horse In connection with mod
ern warfare and revealed what would
have become a pitiful shortage, had
the Germans held out only a very few
weeks longer than they did.
Nor must we forget the Importance
of breeding better horses more extsn.
sively in times Of peace. Better bred
horses mean better work horses; bet
ter prices for them, and a reader mar
ket.
The 1920 census figures indicate that
Kentucky, as usual, will lead her sis
ter states as to both number and class
of horses, but even we are far from
approaching what should be our quota
ieither count.
pColonel Armstrong; statement In
full Is as follows:
pespite the very small amount Of
Eute-bred stock, as compared with the
vtotal number of horses In the state,
believe that, when similar figures for
the other states become available, a
comparison of all will show that Ken
tucky still holds its rank as the fore
most state in producing thoroughbreds.
"The relatively small percentage Of
thoroughbreds and of other classes Of
nre-bred stock included In the total
number of horses in Kentucky, is a
general, and not a local, situation, and
the other states probably will show
even smaller percentages. The same
conditions, am told, prevail with live
stock other than horses, though prob
ably not to the same extent as with
the latter. The census report upholds
7 and justifies the position taken by the
American Remount Association that
there is the utmost need in this coun-
try today of increasing the number OF
pure-bred horses, particularly those Of
the thoroughbred type, on which the
War Department must depend for its
cavalry mounts in case of national
emergency, and which it met with
great difficulty in procuring in suffi
q lnt numbers during the recent war
The national need of upbuilding and
increasing American thoroughbred
horses can not, in my opinion, be over
emphasized"

factor in modern business, DIR. John

Seper of Education, declared in an

EImportant as are the factors of
labor; raw materials production,
marketing and organization, none Of
these is as significant today as ad-
vertising," he said.
"In 1911, the newspaper was the
greatest medium Of advertising and
i still stands as such. 1t is the only
medium that can be used for imme-
