A LEGION DRIVE

The various Legion posts throughout the country
will attempt to raise fund of 100000 before next
Memorial Day to provide for the permanent annual
decoration of graves of the World War dead
The graves are to be decorated each Memorial Day.
A fund was subscribed three years ago with this
end in view, but it large enough to fulfill the
desired purpose. 1t is believed that the additional
sought will be ample. The object is to place
personal tribute upon each grave is done with
graves here on Decoration Day.
The first outline of the plan is little vague as
to how the money it to be raised, whether by public
subscription through the contributions of Legion

chance to give this time. How gladly it will be done

THE BIGGEST BUILDING YEAR

Last year established record for building in this
country. From study made by the Copper and Brass
Research Association it appears that the nation spent
$5,00O0C0 on new construction. But that only
beginning in making up for lost time and supplying
the building deficit lett by the war
There is at present the Investigators find, total
requirement it is believed that S6,0000O0000 will be
taken care OF in the present year. thus making
record
Present conditions certainly point to construction
on bigger scale than that of last year. Almost every
where houses business blocks, factories and public
buildings are going up. There is danger however,
that the boom may be checked.
Last years boom, as the statisticians point out,
due to three four favorable factors There
the big need of buildings the lower prices for materials
and labor the lower interest rates money and the
special inducements offered to builders in many cities
Now prices labor and interest all rising the need is
not great and there fewer favors shown. Thus
the rising cost of construction may check the move
ment before the expected total is reached
