 THE AGE-AkRALD ! Florence. Ala. Jan. l9

Contractors in the Muscle Shoals district work on practically a 12- months basis, and at present there Is an unusually large amount of con- struction going on. The pfstty weather up to the past few weeks has been responsible for this con tinued activity in the building in- dustry. There is no logical reason for discontinuing building until spring, in the opinion of many.
 BUILDING NEW HOMES
 Nearly every street in Florence, Sheffield and Tuscumbia has it's one or more new buildings under con- struction. The business district comes in for its quota of the new build ings, and in the next few months heavy employment is going to take place. Labor. especially skilled labor. is going to- be in great demand.
 In Florence. there Is a noticeable construction of new homes and busi- ness houses The business houses are being rushed forward in all haste to meet the urgent demand. There Is hardly vacant store house in the city, with thousands of business men with their faces turned toward the Muscle Shoals district with . desire Q establish a business here and make this their home.
 l.. E. James of the James Furniture company plans the erection of a modern two-story brick building at Tombigbee and Seminary streets. on the corner from the post office, the building to occupy the entire block. Work will begin in the near future and they plan to occupy the entire building.
 Motor Company Expands.
 The Campbell Motor company is frecting an addition to it's already spacious quarters on East Tennessee street. This building will be brick end two stories high. This company T also erecting a storage room for psed cars at Tombigbee and Wood avenue.
 R. c. Hood 'is erecting two brick business houses on Seminary street, opposite the post office. and work is being rushed forward with all possi- 3 ble hasse. Another building will be constructed on the adjoining lot in the near future.
 All iA all. the Tri-Cities are pro- gressinR rapidly. and all indications point ta greater building program in the psxt few months than has been known since the war. Build Your Own Home" and Own Your Own Home" is the slogan here.

 Little damage was suffered by truck crops in Florida except young cabbage and lettuce were scorched and green peas and egg plant a,Sst, were cally Q complete loss in Alabama. while Mississippi truck crops alto gether sustained Q loss of DO per cent in main sections and 2S per cent for the entire state.
