URGED. TO EXPORT
BUILDING MATERIAL
New Zealand Tries to Induce
American DeaIers-Others
May Follow.

Pressure is being brought TO bear
upon American building material
manufacturers to export their prod
ucts to foreign markets. according to
the Dow service report
At the last session of the Builders
Congress of New Zealand note was
made OF the market shortage of lum-
Der. cement. metals and builders
hardware. and a resolution was pass
ed urging suspension of customs
duties on imported materials, the re-
port states.
The shortage of native supplies in
New Zealand is said to be seriously
curtailing construction work in gen
eral and especially the erection of
suitable homes Contractors there
nave found it impossible to offer bids
Tor construction work on any other
OASIS than that the owners pay the
cost. plus 10 per cent as contra ctors'
commissions. This was too expensive
IN many cases. for the reason that
IT was in the interest of the contrac-
tor to make building cost as much
as possible. the report goes on.
The Builders Congress. in it's reso-
luton asked the government not only
TO suspend customs duties on i'm
ported materials used in building con-
Struction. but recommended that rail-
way rates on foreign (American) ma
terials be the same as local lumber.
Importers of American lumber have
found themselves greatly handicap
ped owing to excessive railway rates
on imported building commodities
Similar confirmation is expected
from other foreign countries showing
that the export pressure upon manu-
facturers of this country later this
year will be greater than is now
thought possible. The same company
that shipped Hudson common brick
to France two years ago. mas just
completed installation of machinery
to manufacture brick all year around
Other industries, particularly in the
metal products and builders hard
ware lines. already have felt the call
for their products in markets over
seas.

The building now occupied by the
Model Bakery has been sold to J. l.

moved.
Unfortunately there is no place
to which it can be moved and as q
consequence, the Geyer family will
probably have to leave town unless
a building with upstairs quarters
can be secured. Mrs. Geyers health
IS such that her family must be
near her.
The convenience to Il city of "a

A jury was impanelled which con-

The verdict drove the crooks, gun

at the question involved from the
moral side and from the viewpoint
of homemakine.

THOUGHT Is THE GREAT
- CIVILIZER.

Not the mighty army, not the
power of money. not the speechmak-
or nor the writer can make great
er civilization, but the right thinking
Of people can make civilization
greater.
This is as true of the small city as
Of the big city or of the nation at
large.
As we think. so we are II we
think along lines Of laxity, whether
it be law, religion or in civic mat
ters, so shall we be.
The people of Knox County can
make the county what they want It
to be-
An election will be on us shortly
when we shall be called upon to de-
eide on the men who shall direct
our affairs for the next few years
Are we thinking along big or little
lines. Are we to be dominated by
the fact that we knew Tom, Dick
and Harry in the days of our boy
hood and tho they may be unfit, are
we going to cast our votes for them.
This is one of the great curses OF
politics. 1t is poor thinking from
which the whole community suffers
The greatest blessing county
can enjoy is obedience to law on the
part of its citizens. 1t makes for
development, while crime sets devel-
opment back.
Ignorance of business can and
does get the finances of a county in
to a hopeless muddle from which
the citizens suffer.
Tom, Dick and Harry would no
more be employed by a bank or by
progressive houses than would a
newly born calf, but i'm too many
cases they are elected to handle the
money of the people. only to DEM
onstrate during their term of office
that the only thing of which they
are capable is to show deficit. The
loose thinker cannot think along
lines of progression. 1t is not in
him.
What are we going to do about
it this coming election?
Shall we elect Tom. Dick and Har-
ry?
Shall we elect men who will give
good service men with brains and
honest in their efforts to give us
law and order and a business admin
istration? or course this is gener-
ally nobody's business, but perhaps
we may be able TO Influence enough
individuals so that they will do their
individual duty to themselves and
to the County.
Don't be a loose thinker. II will
cost you money and bring shame to
your County.
