THIS AND THAT

we still operate under old English
law just as we did when we were
colonists, except where we have
adopted statutes of our own to
fit our specific needs. In other
words, if a question of law arises
today in my state and there is no
state law by which to settle II, it
is decided by the law of old Eng
land, otherwise known as COM
mon law.

turned to chartered banks.
Other subjects slated for dis
cussion include bank chartering
policies, bank insurance and
crime protection, and the bank

FROM TODAY'S GARDEN
calendar: There should not be
further delay about pruning
grapcvines. Buds are swollen and
sap is running. A little bleeding
from pruning is not detrimental
but | don't like for vines to bleed.
Vines pruned last Saturday did
not bleed. Those pruned Tuesday
did bleed. Sap is rising rapidly.
Perhaps little advice on prun-
ing vines would not be amiss, be-
cause many people never prune
and can't understand why they
don't have nice, large punches of
grapes. 1t takes lots of courage
! for an amateur to prune a vine
because you must cut away prac-
tically all Of last years growth,
except for canes where you want
to establish new leaders, which
is quite often desirable. If you
don't want to have new leaders
YOU will be safe with an old or a
young vine to trim off all last
years growth except one bud of
each cane or shoot that grew in
1886. If you have never pruned,
try this and note satisfactory re-
suits.

COSTS THREATEN
BUILDING GAINS
Higher Prices Likely to Slow
Down Rise, According
to Observers.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, September 20.-Higher
building costs threaten to retard con-
struction, experts believe.
AS analysts review the climb out
of depression they stress the automo-
bile industry helped get the business
motor off dead center. Momentum
impaired from this source spread to
other fields. The steel industry then
surged ahead and lent its strength
to the movement.
1t remained for the building in
dustry to shake off the doldrums and
swing into heavy activity with an
accompanying increased use OF men,
dollars and materials.
How briskly this important di-
vision picked up is illustrated by a
compilation of Engineering News
Record, which showed private money
spent in construction in the first
eight months of 1897 rose to $685.
$4,000 from $405, 467, 900 in the like
period of 1886, an upturn of los per
cent.
AS some observers see it, increased
DuliQlng costs may soon slow down
the rate of gain in the building in
dustry. A comparison of current
prices with year ago shows lumber
up 7 per cent, brick up and steel
19 per cent ahead. On the other hand,
cement was 2 per cent lower than
September, 1896, and sand was down
5 per cent.
Discussing the outlook, the Cleve-
land Trust Co. said the speed with
which costs had mounted was such as
to discourage prospective builders.
The current cost of erecting COM
mercial and industrial buildings is
about IL per cent higher than it was
last year. Similarly, the cost of build
ing brick and frame residences has
advanced in 1887 by about IA per cent
above the costs of 1886.
The study then pointed out that
rents are steadily climbing, but the
upturn has not been swift enough to
offset advances in building costs.
These costs, it added, 'are getting so
high they equal or exceed in many
localities those of the prosperity period
before the depression"
