FIGHT SHY OF CHEAP
CLOTHES

There is a danger line, in the
lowering of prices, below
which no conscientious manu-
facturer will go; because, if
he does, he knows that the
public will not get it's moneys
worth.
A cheap suit of clothes is an
abomination and utterly
worthless. The money one
puts into it is lost.
One good, hand-tailored suit,
made to fit you, with an extra
pair of trousers, will, in a
pinch, keep you well dressed
for a year-even longer.
A cheap suit of clothes can
not maintain it's deception
more than a month or so. 1t
soon loses it's style. It's IRON
ed-on shape is gone in no time.
The collar pulls away from the
neck; the coat says; the trous-
ers flop around your legs. 1t
is-just a cheap suit, and the
world knows it.
Good clothes have their good
ness built into them. Their
shape is abiding. A year from
today they are still good
clothes.
Whether you buy KAHN
clothes or not, if you really
mean to practice economy
BUY GOOD CLOTHES.

Joe West Also Out for Chief of Police.


Joe West Carpenter Joe"-the in
dustrious, manly, honorable, and young
est candidate in the field at this time,
expects to measure up squarely for
Chief of Police as he does in his busi-
ness every day. Joe West was born,
reared and educated in Lincoln County.
He is young, but not too young to be
wise to the law and it's observance and
enforcement. He has never run for Of
fee of any kind before and does so now
because he is convinced there is a SER
vice he can do for this community. All
he wants is authority to administer the
law. His election as City Marshal will
give him that; and he asks the votes
of the people who know him and Of
those he wants to know him and of
he can convince them he is capable and
qualified, physically, Intellectually and
morally to be their head law officer in
Brookhaven.
Mr.. West owns his own home here
He has a wife and two small children
He is a member of the church; of q
Mems Bible Glass and honors his God
ir clean life and his community in
being an upright citizen. A number of
young friends and of those older have
already manifested a warm interest in
Joe Vests candidacy and have decided
they are going to see him through"
Think it over for yourself and when
you have, see if Joe West isn't exactly
the man you want for Chief of Police.

ERECTION OF HOMES IS BASIS
FOR MARKED BUILDING REVIVAL
THROUGHOUT NATION, SAYS DUN'S

There is pronounced revival in
building activities, according to re-
port on a national survey made by
Dun,s Review, announced by Marvin
=. Wallace, manager of the Great
Falls agency Of r. G. Dun & Co.
Reports from nearly 40 centers in
widely separated sections of the United
States demonstrate that the revival Of
building activities, Of which there has
been multiplying evidence during recent
months, is steadily gathering mo-
mentum, and that the future is re-
garded with OPTIMISM says the re-
port.
Virtually without exception, the dis
patches show that protracted period
OF deferred undertakings has been fol-
lowed by resumption Of work ON an
important and enlarging scale, with ac-
companying expansion of demand for
construction materials, and favorable
prospects for further improvement in
these lines. The reduced costs of labor
and materials and the pronounced
shortage Of housing accommodations,
both in the cities and suburban towns.
had clearly foreshadowed a renewal of
building operations of magnitude, and
advices from some points indicate
record year. In not a few cases, per-
mits for new construction this spring
have reached the highest mark in sew
eral years, in number as we'll as in
value, and in certain instances all
previous totals have been surpassed.
With an aggregate Of more than $685.
100000, the March permits are fully
no per cent above those of the cor
responding month of 1921
The activity is largely in dwellings,
says the report. It reads:
An outstanding feature of the pres
ent situation is the centering of activi-
ties mainly on the erection Of dwelling
houses, under the stimulus of the
Great Falls tribune., 1922-04-27

urgent and widespread demand for ac-
cOmmOdations of this character. While
some important industrial construction
| is in progress or contemplated, the vol
ume of such work is comparatively
moderate in most sections, current ur1-
dertakings being confined chiefly to the
building of small homes and apart
ments, and to remodeling operations.
Public improvements now under way
or in prospect, however, involve con-
siderable expenditures. both in the
larger centers of population and in the
smaller cities. On the whole, specu-
lative projects are of small propor-
tions.
1T is clearly evidenced by reports
| from all sections of the country that
| the easier conditions in money markets
have proved stimulating factor in
the building industry. A conservative
policy in granting loans is still adhered
to in virtually all instances, but less
difficulty is being experienced in Sc
curing financial accommodation to be
applied to construction activities, and
rates of interest are somewhat lower,
as rule. In certain sections, second
mortgage money is more readily OBJ
tainable. Many of the operations are
being financed through trust companies
and building and loan associations, with
rates ranging from 6 to s per cent.
THE labor situation has unmis-
takably improved, reports Of scarcity
Of workers now being the conspicuous
exception. and there being a surplus in
most quarters. Wages, especially for
common labor, are considerably lower,
and no strikes of magnitude impede
progress at present.
Many different trades are being ia
vorably affected by the current activity
in the building industry, and the revival
il this line will have constructive in
fluence on general business through
out the country"

CITIZENS HELP
CLEAN UP CITY,
SAY OFFICIALS
Renovation of Streets, Alleys

The desire of Great Falls residents
TO have the city immaculate is evinced
in the continued enthusiasm with which
they are carrying out the cleanup rules
outlined by the city health department
it was stated Wednesday by health Of
ficials who have made cursory in
spection of the work that has already
been done.
Trucks Are Behind
Hundreds of yards of rubbish had
been removed from streets, alleys and
private property up to Wednesday
night. The trucks that have been haul
ing the garbage have worked long
hours. but as yet have not nearly ac-
complished the work, according to
Sanitary Policeman William Shea, who
is in charge Of the drive
Because of the wet weather it will
not be possible for the rubbish to be
hauled from Little Chicago until Fri
day and Saturday. This postponement
will not In any way hinder residents
Of that district from cleaning their
premises thoroughly, however, Mr..
Shea said.
Work In Black Eagle
The Black Eagle district was the
field Of activity for the cleanup SQUAD

operating there. The hauling of rub
bish Will continue today Thursday in

All waste that is burnable is being

WAR ON FLIES AND MOSQUITOES
IS VITAL FEATURE OF CLEANUP
PROGRAM, SAYS HEALTH OFFICER

to complete the entire cycle of his life,
the necessity of moving this refuse at
Least once a week can be seen," he
said. In cases where removal Is not
possible pound Of borax to eight
bushels of manure will effectively de-
stroy, if well mixed, any fly larvae
that may be terminating in the refuse.
SWatting flies is an admirable idea IN
the opinion of the county physician,
but he recommends the destruction OF
the larvae as more effective and
more permanent method of eliminating
them.
'The destruction of mosquitoes in
this region, is not SO essential from a
health standpoint as from that Of COM
fort" said the doctor in discussing
these insects. There are many varie-
ties of mosquitoes and those that carry
the malaria and yellow fever germs are
not prevalent here, but from the great
er numbers and the aggravation caused
by their bites, infections are numerous
and are to be reckoned with
"As with flies, the only way to ex-
terminate mosquitoes is to destroy
their breeding places, and this can be
done by careful draining of all stag
nant water, and by oiling all marshes,
ponds and pools that cannot be drained.
Mosquito control made possible the
building of the Panama canal and has
made health conditions generally much
better in the fever areas of the south,
and if under circumstances where the
handicap is so much greater than ours,
these pests could be eradicated, our
problem is negligible if we are given a
little cooperation" DR.. Fuson con-
cluded. He said that the city health
department would make every effort
to check the breeding of mosquitoes
and flies by the use of the proper
methods; removal of filth, draining of
stagnant water and oiling of ponds,
pools and marshes.
