Hoover is Home
Builders Friend

Washington, Jan. 18.-Secretary of
Commerce Hoover is the home-build-
er's friend. At least he is consistent
ly advocating and actively encourag-
ing the erection Of more homes for
the people Of the United States. And
President Harding himself is as do
mestic and home-loving man as can
be found in the republic. All official
Washington is keenly interested in the
subject Of homes, not only because
homes are the normal and happiest
domicile of men and women, but be-
cause that nation is most self-reliant
whose lines of strength lead straight
to the hearthstones of contented and
home-loving people.
The opening Of the new year brings
u nationwide renewal of home e-build-
ing discussion. With the spring build
ing season only a few months off, this
is the time for fire-side planning and
visualizing the new home with all of
it's innate appeal to the best instincts
of men and women. Many thousands
of people have dreamed of that beau
tiful home that some day they intend
to build. But year has followed year
and the joys of the new home have
never been realized.
Will 1922 be good year to build a
home? Experts declare that it will
be. For practically all building ma
terials are down to as near pre-war
levels as they are likely to 60 under
the new conditions confronting the
world. This is especially true of lum-
ber which is being produced at almost
pre-war cost and is being sold by re-
tailers generally at figures as low as
the present high cost Of handling and
transportation will permit. In the
very nature of things lumber is ex-
pected to advance because of the de-
creasing supply of forest timber. The
man who builds of wood now may be
reasonably sure that in the long rur
he is fully protected in his investment
But suppose some items Of con-
struction do become cheaper. The
man who lives in his own home can
save enough in rent in single year
to Offset any likely temporary reduc.
ton in materials, and after that he
may be reasonably sure his home can,
not be duplicated for less than it cost
him. Build now, is the advice Of those
who know building conditions. Ant
already there are indications of such
u renewal of building that probably b,
the middle of the next building season
an advance in the general cost of ma
terials will set in that will represent
substantial profit to those who tax,
advantage of the building condition!
of early spring.

Cossack Counter
Revolutionary Raid

Nikolaiesk, Samara Province, Rus,
sia, Jan. 17.-Cossack counter-revo.
lutionaries who have just raided this
place respected to the last detail
American Relief Administration sup
plies but shot so Communists, blew
up the principal building of the town,
and looted Soviet government ware
housese filled with furs, matches,
skins, tobacco and military stores.
Their entrance was picturesque.
They came in 800 strong, mounted
on black horese, and each man and
woman armed with rifles, two sings
of cartridge belts, knives and pistols.
Riding at their head was their lead
er, Safins, tall and wearing a feroci-
ous-looking black beard. Behind the
cavalry came a train of 200 wagons,
brought from the fastnesses of the
Ural mountains to carry away the
loot.
Their actions were regulated with
much discipline. Arriving early on
a Saturday morning, they first cut
all telegraph wires, then rounded up
the Communists and executed them.
The people of the town were mott
fed from the public square that they
would not be shot or injured, and also
Safins ordered that c. E. Floete, Of
San Francisco, the only American in
the place and in charge of the relief
supplies for the children, be notified
that American supplies would not De
looted.
During the day the Soviet supplies
were loaded on the wagons. 175 pris-
oners were released from the jails,
all the available horses wer. taken,
and the counter-Tevolutionary band
departed. On the way out they pas
sed undisturbed other American sup
pics.
When the Communists r,mrned,
they at cnce locked up the 7llage
priests and shot number of villsg-
ers guilty of iooting the stores left
by the counter-revolutionary band.
In this region there are 10000
children, 10000 Of whom are being
fed by the Americans. The othe.s
are starving. The country is DESC
late, barren of grass and trees and
it's scanty crops Of the past summer
were all requisitioned. In Septem-
ber, 24,0O0,000. pounds of flour were
milled here and all of it shipped to
Moscow or Petrograd, for the Red
army, or other uses. Unlike other
towns, here no food of any kind is
to be bad for money.

Government Forces
70 Stop Rioting

Jaffa, Palestine, Jan. 19.-The
government forces in this district are
attempting to stop grioting here by
imposing fines on the inhabitants of
the communities which participate in
them and followinS kSis,, up with
raids uSy rhets nisI2 eif.ages in
the Jaffa district to D6llsct the finese.
The experiment is an unusual one
and its success up toFthe present, is
not evident. The zionists are jubi-
liant and see in this action a definite
alignment of the government on their
side. On the other hand it has STIR
red up bitter feelings on the part of
the natives who see in the govern
ment's action the beginning of Jew
ish domination and the betrayal of
their passionate longing for national
freedoms 80
A fine amounting to $25, 900 was
imposed by the government on five
towns and villages in the Jaffa dis
trict for alleged attacks made last
May by their inhabitants upon Jew
ish colonies nearby. 70 collect the
fine large bodies of English, Jewish
and Hindu troops having machine
guns surrounded Tul Karen and four
other villages near Jaffa, sent in men
an confiscated all tho livestock, in
cluding the oxen, led the animals into
the fields and placed them under
guard. E
Then notices signed by Sir Her.
bert Samuel, the British High Com.
missioner, were posted in the streets
demanding payment Of the fines.
Mr.. Campbell, assistant governor
of the district, called the leading cit.
izens together in the city square OF
Tul Karen and informed them that
the cattle would be kept under guard
for only five days and If the fines
had not been paid by that time they
would be sold at auction and the pro
ceeds turned over to the Jews who
were victims of the raid. It remains
yet to be determined whether the
fines will be paid. The seizure of the
cattle deprived the farmers of means
of plowing their fields and it is
feared that this may lead to more

Financial Situation
of South Carolina

Columbia, Jan. 20.-The manner in
which the banks of the state have
-iShstood the strain of deflation and
failing crops has been nothing short
of marvellous, said James Fl. Craig
state bank examiner, today in discuss
ing the financial situation in South
Carolina. Very few of the banks have
closed their doors permanently, he
said, commenting on the close coop
GRAFTON of the people with their fiduci-
airy institutions, many of the deposi-
tors voluntarily agreeing to leave
their money in banks for twelve
months to insure their solvency.
Such embarrassments as our banks
have experienced" he said, shave been
mainly due to inability to realize upon
loans. While generally speaking
these loans, ] believe, will be collect
slow. Given time, however, there is
no reason to be pessimistic of the out
come. Our people are inherently hon
est and they will meet changing agri-
cultural conditions with new zeal and
new determination, and reestablish the
financial status of our state as COM
paratively first in agricultural produc-
ton"
Continuing, Mr.. Craig said, "That
we have passed through most depress-
ing conditions with our banking insti-
tutions still practically intact, gives
us strength to begin the struggle of
the new year. We need not shut our
eyes to the fact that the present year
will be fraught with serious difficult
ties, which will require all the skill
and energy of our best financiers to
meet and overcome. Crop diversifica-
tion has at last been forced upon our
agriculturists, which will require the
usual experimental periods of grow
ing and marketing untried crops, but
in the end we will produce other pay
ing crops than cotton. This has been
anticipated, and already steps are be-
ing taken to bridge the necessary
period of agricultural readjustment.
The most potent factor to this end
is the War Finance Corporation,
which, operating through our banks,
is extending needed credits. In this
connection, it should be added that
corresponding banks within and with
cut our state have been most liberal
in extending needed credits.
In view of these facts, we look con-
fidently to the future, with successes
of the past as an earnest of what we
can do by dint of unfiinching determi-
nation and public spirit of coopera-
ton.
at should be added that our banks
are just as strong as the confidence
of their patrons make them. Our prob
lens are not merely problems of the
fnanciers, but are as well, problems of
the people. The man who withholds
his deposits from the banks is work
ing to his own detriment, as well as
the detriment of his state. Confidence
is the keynote of business, it is the
; substructure of banking, and bank
ing is the soul of business. Destroy
confidence and you destroy banking
and hence destroy business. The miser,
who hides away his savings in niche
in the wall, not only robs business but
actually robs himself, inasmuch as he
is withdrawing from business that
production, which contributes to the
prosperity of the whole.

 Major Opie explained in detail how he had attempted to get his men ill a line after they had been demoral- ized and were running wildly. some saying they had been ordered to re- treat while others were shouting that the enemy was approaching. A tense situation, developing suddenly, found him alone in the effort to re- form the lines.

FORD TO CONFER WITH
 WEEKS MEDNEsDAY

Washington, January 5--(Speclal) Henry Ford, Detroit manufacturer, desirous of acquiring the govern- ment's properties at Muscle Shoals, declared to Secretary of War Weeks this afternoon. through an agent. that either he or his engineers would be prepared to resume negotiations Wednesday next week.
 It is anticipated by the Secretary that as result of the resumption of negotiations all element of doubt wlll be eliminated, and it will be possible for him to say immediately after the Wednesday conference whether he will accept or reject the Ford prop osition. He has asked those who come to be prepared to do business on an authoritative basis. If Ford has been intimated to such effect, it is said that illness on the part of a relative of Ford was respon- sible for the long and inexplicable silence maintained by the manufac- turer.
