W. Fl. Conner, local salesmanager
of the Potlatch Lumber company, re-
ports that prices on lumber are now
down to pre-war levels. Reductions
in common lumber prices amount to
from $15 to $40 thousand and in the
upper grades some items have been
reduced as much as $35 a thousand.
Lumber prices in general appear to
have dropped more than any other
commodity, and in fact, the saw mills
are selling their common grades at
about one-half the cost of production.
Building prospects in this locality
look considerably brighter than a
year ago, and with an open winter we
expect to see several new buildings
well under way by early spring.

soLoIsT AT SPRING FESTIVAL

When the first annual spring fesu- val is fiven at the Jefferson theatre April 29-30, by the Birmingham Orches- tral society, one of the beautiful solo, fists will be Miss Grace Kerns of New York, who has matchless lyric voice.
 Like many other notable artists, Miss Kerns made record by her splendid war work, going overseas in May, 1918, to sing for the soldiers, re- maining eight months in the danger zone entertaining for the Seventy seventh, Twenty Twenty ninth, Forty-second and Seventy ninth divi- sions of the American expeditionary force. No danger was 100 great for her to expose herself to, if wanted. When there were badly wounded men at the front in some outlying emer- gency hospital, thither she went with her accompanist, Mary Seller, who carried a small Irish harp. Often she was reproved by the military author ities for recklessness, but even this did not dampen her ardor to bring cheer to the wounded men. and reso- lutely she continued till her strength threatened to give out under the con- stant strain Sometimes I sang aA many as 10 times a day, beginning at 8 o'clock in the morning." Miss Kerns said simply in speaking of these times. but no woman ever sang under more stirring conditions. There was some thing about the enormous tragedy of | it all that made one feel the most one had to offer was insignificant in com
 parison with the magnificent sacrifice
 those boys made.''
 Returning home the following win
 ter Miss Kerns found it necessary to take a much-needed rest before re-
 suming her artistic work here. "As for my voice." she hastened to add,
 strange as it may seem. it was bet ter than ever. The strain appeared to
 have done it good. Musicians told me
 it had anew quality In it that was not
 there when went away. Perhaps. it
 was the inde1lble memory of those times which left its imprint upon my
 whole being, my voice included--I shall
 never forget!"-which is also the feel l ing of the countless homesck wound
 ed men who heard her sing in strife l torn France.

CITIES COOPERATE
 FOR BETTER ROADS

Fort Payne April (Special)- movement has begun to build good road from Summerville, Ga, to Fort Payne oyer Lookout mountain.
 x The Georgia people are said to have agreed to build the road to the Alabama line on the mountain and Mentone peo- pie have likewise agreed to build the road in their section. The construction of this road would be of great benefit to this section and would open up an easy route to Rome and Atlanta and perhaps a better road to Chattanooga, although of more length.
 On account of the Baptists having recently located their state encamp- ment at Mentone, it is probable that the promoters of tho encampment en- terprise will also lend their aid to the building of this important highway.
