LUMBER LEADS IN DROP.

Further reductions in building
costs have been recorded in the last
80 days, according to builders and
contractors in various sections of the
wec. Lumber, which has made
the biggest slump of all building
materials, is now selling in the
Northwest at prices representing ap-
proximately a so percent reduction
over 1920 prices. Labor costs have
likewise been materially reduced
Plumbing. plastering, brick and
concrete work. excavating. paints
and painting, heating and all other
major items entering into the cost
of home building show a decided
drop ranging from 10 to so percent
material men and builders say
Real estate in many sections lis
lower than 1t has been for some
years.
Due to refusal of building trades
consider a Z 1-2 per cent reduction
in wages. a strike has resulted which
has caused construction stagnation
and unemployment in that city
while other sections of the country
have shown increasing activity.
Labor costs must drop with ma
erital costs or labor will be out of
employment The San Francisco
situation is an object lesson by which

PRODUCE EGGS WITH WHITE
YOLKS.

1t is now possible to obtain eggs
with perfectly white yolks. The
feat is said to have been accomp-
lished by two poultry dealers. The
yolk of the natural egg derives its
yellow color from carotin, a natural
dye which is also found in carrots.
yB eliminating all carotin from the
feed it is possible to breed pure
white leghron hens. They in turn
lay eggs with white yolks.
The fertility of such eggs is the
same as for the common variety.
Carotin is contained in greatest
amounts in Indian corn and green
feed. 1t also produces the bright
yellow coloring in the beak, the ear
laps and the legs of all leghorns.

sLACKERs AND IGNORANCE.

What is a "slacker?" For the
first time since the war the question
has been discussed very seriously,
by no less an authority than Gener-
al Pershing. 1t seems that there
were many thousands of young men
whoo sought By every possible means
to evade their duty to their country
when the war broke out, but even
more serious than the actual dodgins
of military duty was the fact of the
abnormal percentage of illiteracy and
physical incapacity as revealed by
the draft. This, General Pershing
says, 'is a disgrace to any nation"
and certainly is to the one country
where educational facilities are free
and where opportunity for the high
est mental and physical development
is offered.
The Stacker" in many instances
was a man who could neither read
nor understand. He had not OBJ
tained from any source whatsoever
the slightest inkling of what the
government of the United States
meant to him, and he had no con-
ception of an obligation to his coun
try.
OF course, it If no use to cry over
Spilled milk or to deplore the men

BUILDING ON INCREASE.

One of the most encouraging .fea-
lures of the business outlook is the
resumption of building activity.
Statistics from the country at large
show more building in progress than
for years.
Contracts awarded in 26 north
eastern states for April totaled more
than a quarter of a billion dollars.
the largest on record for April, and
an increase of "a percent. over
March. In some sections the In
crease reached II percent. and all
sections report gains over previous
months.
Residential construction leads 1ll
other building, as the nation is short
over 100000 homes as result of
retarded construction during the war
Slightly lower wage scales and
cheaper lumber have acted as a stim-
ulant to building, but there must be
still further readjustment in prices
before there will be real building
boom
Building, in addition to affordire
employment to thousands of men tr
the building and allied trades, stim
ulates many other industries, makes
business for railroads and augments
the purchasing power of the country
and demand for commodities.

ally is wrapped up in this ideal
training, but IT is greatly to be
doubted whether the ideals of a
great industrial republic are to be
taught most effectively in the re-

have read what many men have said
about what they owe their success
to in this country. but none of them
that we recall referred to military
training or to soldier camps. The
physical and mental training of the
youth OF the country is essentially a
community affair, and II federal

FARM LOAN AND THE BANKS

The federal farm loan banks have
again been in operation for about
two months, and in some states
considerable money is being put out
In the Spokane farm loan bank
applications have been piled up for
over seven millions of laons, and a
few small state farm loans are made
TO get federal farm loans farmers
must take stock in the farm loan
bank and the expense of making The
investigation falls on the applicant.
These loans were originally made
on low rate bond issues but the rate
of interest on government bonds has
gone to practically six percent.
So the state and federal farm
loans are not going to give relief to
the farmers at any rate ofinterest
than private farm loan banks make.
The competition between the two
systems will eventually benefit the
farmers as the inequitable difference
in interest rates has been wiped out.
AS imports of gold increase money
is becoming cheaper and good farm
loans will probably be made for some
time at lower rates of interest.

HARDING AND MCKINLEY COM
PARED.

President Mckinley had much in
common with the present chief exc
cutive, according to Vice-President
Coolidge. Mr.. Coolidge pointed out
the similarity in traits of the two
in speaking at the unveiling OF a
bust of Harding at the Mckinley
memorial at Niles. Ohio. He re-
marked that both presidents sought
to reach the hearts of their people
and, in Harding's case, the open
gates at the White House "are but
the symbol of the open heart of him
who wishes his every approach open
to the people"
There is that in the present con-
dition of our country which admon-
ishes us to remember Mckinley" he
said. 'He was wiser than his
critics. He was gentler than his
friends. He was firmer than his
party. He found the nation de-
pressed and distraught. He bro't

The vicepresident pleaded for pa
teince and harmony in dealing with
the problems of reconstruction. He
spoke of the two extreme factions
among our people-the ultra con-
servative or reactionists and the SIX
treme radicals or revolutionits. He
warned againt both, and said that
President Harding leans Meth er
to the one extreme nor the other but

safe line. The president, he add l,

THE S-HOUR DAY

The principle of the eight-hour day and the
policy Of discouraging longer employment by
increased compensation for overtime, are well
established in American industry. In many
employnents more than eight hours will be the
rule in the future as in the past. In many in
stances there will be no extra pay for occasional
overtime, or the regular rate for the overtime
as in the past. But, in general, the eight-hour
day has become an American standard. It will
be well for the friends Of the eight-hour day to
remember, however, that a good cause can be
injured by over-zealousness which disregards
reason. For instance, not long ago the railroad
employees organization demanded that GER
tain furnace operator in blacksmith shop be
paid for five hours per day overtime because he
had reported for duty an hour early every
morning in order to start his fires He had
kept his job for five years with pay for only
the time he actually worked, but, under tech
nical construction of the rules, he was awarded
approximately 1140 hours overtime back pay
for 228 hours service. Under the decision he
will be entitled to five hours overtime pay every
morning he reports for duty an hour early to
start his fires. The people who pay freight
bills pay for the overtime of the furnace tender
