HEAVY BUILDING
PROGRAM IS SEEN
Prosperity During 1929 Is
Predicted-Federa Work
Is Big Item.

Business is swinging into the new year
with bright prospects and there is
every indication of sustained prosperity
in the opinion of A. E. Dickinson. pres
ident of a national building material
concern.
Looking into the future of any in
duStry is certain to disclose both light
and dark patches In the construction
industry the dark spots are eXcep-
tionally few he declares.
THE huge total of S7,200,00 900 has
been invested in construction in 1928,
against approximately $4,000, 100000 in
1927. This, together with the large totals
gregate expenditure for the entire coun-
try of $27.270. 100000
Not only has there been marked
nut the building industry
is on more stable basis than ever be-
fore. There has been an absence of
speculative building and a definite
movement toward better construction.
While there is some doubt regarding
the possible consequences of high money
rates, it seems more than probable that
1929 will show building total close to
that of 1928. Increase in public works
and utilities projects in prospect for
1929 helps justify this belief.
THE Governments five-year program
Of public improvement construction is
just getting under way. An appropria-
ton of 1863 900 900 is available for this
work. Establishment of aviation fields
also will require new buildings.
Residential building, which showed
a renewal of activity in 1928, amounted
to IS per cent of the entire conStruc-
ton program. 1t is estimated more
than $4,000 000, 900 has been spent for
this type of structure. Increase in
population and rapid suburban develop
ment are two major factors in the
home building activity.
Hotel construction has gone forward
In good volume and many large projects
are planned for the near future Pub
lie works came next to residential build
ing in point of activity. Commercial
and industrial construction was on a
broad scale and educational structures
likewise helped to swell the grand
total"

THERE was the roar of the mo-
tor high above the field where
Yvonne's old grandfather and
L grandmother were filling the
the soil. They looked up as
they always did; the airplanes were
no longer the excitement they once
WERE
But look!" exclaimed the grand
mother. He descends."
Perhaps he is in troubled" said the
grandfather anXiously.
They watched the birdlike' thing
come closer and closer to fiat meadow
next the field they were working. Max
ing sure that the plane was about to
land, they ran toward it in great ex-
element, stumbling along as fast as
their old legs would carry them. AS
they clambered over the low stone wall
the plane slithered along the ground
and came to a full stop. A man. the
pilot, got out and turned to assist a
young woman who seemed impatient
to alight.
The old people looked at each other
in amaZement and some horror. Young
ladies had never dropped out of the
sky in this unaccountable way when
they were younger. Then to their
even greater amazement the young
woman began calling, Grandfather,
grandmother. come, oh come-is Rich
ard here!"
Astonishment held them still. They
could not move. Then the young
woman was holding them both tight,
kissing them, asking them questions,
shaking them in her joy and excite
ment. At last she asked and waited
for an answer. HAS Richard, my hus-
band, Gomez"

nothing from him."
Then let us hurry to the house at
once. must change; you have one
of my old frocks here, know"
She waved good-by to the pilot of
the airplane and, taking the hands
of the old people, began to hurry them
toward the house. Rapidly she sketched
her story. They nodded, trying to I'M
derStand. But one thing seemed clear
to them, they must on no account re-

against the wall hung coarse peasant
frock, the very one In which Richard
had first seen her She hurried into it,
smiling at the thought of the fine silken
underwear she wore beneath it. Down
the ladder again and into the yard
where once more she tried to tell the
old people all that had happened to
her.
Richard did not come that day ana
Yvonne was very glad. She was tired,
worn out, and, now that she had ar
rived before him, she was content TO
wait until he came.
She saw him mounting the little hill
just before sunset the next evening.
Seeing them in the field, Yvonne and
the two old people, Richard felt his
heart contract. This was just as he
had found them four years ago. Time
seemed to turn back as though life

itself had been stationary for a long
time.
He went slowly toward them. Yvonne
greeted him sedately, putting up her
cheek for his Indifferent kiss. The
grandparents shook hands and ex-
pressed pleasure at seeing him. Truth
to tell they had been a little uneasy
about Yvonne, but, now that her hus-
band had come, all would be well again.
They walked back to the house,
Yvonne this time at Richards side.
He tried to talk to her. and he found
he had nothing to say. The silence
grew little oppressive and it was with
a sigh of relief he he threw himself on
for Yvonne to bring him long drink
of the cool, red wine.
She smiled shyly at him as she hand
ed him the mug. 1t hurt him. This
smile, so trusting, so pure. He saw
with amazement how like she was to
the other, the woman he loved.
Have you been happy here, Yvonne?"
he asked at last.
"If not happy-then content" Yvonne
answered.
"Do you wish to return to American"
he asked.
THAT is for you to decide. my hus-
band"
Richard turned his troubled gaze
from her. How could he tell her, this
modest, sweet child wife of his? He
clenched his hands. Love for the
dancer had grown on him like a fever
in the days of their separation.
Abruptly he got to his feet. II think
I'll walk down to the village" he said.

He nodded and strobe away. while
behind him Yvonne danced her way
into the cottage.

Richard took her close In his arms
and held her as though he would never

Yvonne drew his head down and
kissed his mouth.

awoke to the that it this spirit of general

welfare All can then keep perfect STEP There is no

Such Is the nature of the fund being gathered for

the family primarily but everyone who gives is doing the
city good turn.

The business man who first suggested it said this was
not charity but duty which the people Bismarck
owed to themselves to discharge It meant they would
be helping themselves
The fund has started off splendidly The Tribune
hopes everybody win catch the spirit Of it and keep the
