Building Conditions Normal.
There Is no doubt about building
conditions growing normal again
throughout the country. The Danner
lias called attention to the general
revival of building and to the bright
outlook In this elty for large increases
in the building line during Ibis year.
Labor and material have decreased
along with the decrease of living rum-
modules and the money Interests are
willing to invest in building provided
they are assured of reasonable returns
on their Investments.
The Birmingham. (Ala.) Age-Herald
has the following to say of the revival
of building in that elty:
"Twenty-eight building permits were
Issued at the city hall on Monday. It
was the'largest business in some time.
Among others were permits for num
bers of modest homes to be built in
tbe suburban sections.
"There are Increasing evidences
that moro homes will be built In Bir
mingham this year than In several
years. There' is no doubt that build
ing materials have declined from 25
to 50 per cent, and prices are now on
such n stable base that contractors are
willing to make close estimates with
out provisos as to fluctuations in costs
of mnterlals.
"The plumbing bill has been con
siderably reduced by the rapid decline
In the cost of sanitary pipe, much of
which goes Into every home plumb
ing job. Cement and brick are down.
The latter has been cut $5 and 56 per
1,000. Brick makers report that the
Inquiry Is better than It has been In
a long time. The Inquiry has just
such a genuine and business-like tone
that they have resumed at practically
all the building brick plants and will
soon have ample stocks on hand.
“The crowding of people has Teach
ed Its limit. The subtenancy business
has been worked until it cannot he
worked any more. Expansion cannot
And Itself In any other way except
that of new homes. Men seem finally
disposed to look Into the matter of
home building. For a time they gave
It up ns out of the question. It was
out of the question so far as value
rocelved is concerned. But’ that Is
no longer tbe case and men are real-
Ixlng the more reasonable prices and
greater labor efAciency.
"The disposition to build Is picking
up In response to the Inducements to
build. Moro building Is to be the
outcome."
A Good Morning to You
A VER8E AND A VIGNETTE
By O. G. BICKERS 1
"LAUGHTER MAKES GOOD
BLOOD.”
Ay e. man shall not live here by broad
alone—
Apart for splr’tual truth, you’ll own
That there are other foods than bread
and meat;
A little laughter now and then
Is relished by all normal men,
To paraphrase a saying old and neat
In this connection. Laughter mokes
The pains and restlessness and aches
Less frequent; aids digestion, help*
the lungs
Ahd liver, so Improves the blood, and
adds a strength
To muscles—ami to life a fuller,
sweeter length.

Burge Resents Entry
Macon Telegraph in
Fight on Commission
(Special to The Banner)
Atlanta, Ga , F#*l>. 25.—Another red-
hot Atlanta municipal ownership meet
ing was held in West End last night,
and at this one respects were paid
by one of the speakers to the Macon
Telegraph—(T. M. Burge, who acted as
chairman of the meeting—for having
editorially taken notice of the fight
which the “people of Atlanta” are
making to have the Georgia railroad
commission abolished. MY. Burge re
sented tho Idea that any action taken
by the people of Atlanta could be
“anarchistic” or that there was any
tinge of “bolshevism” in their desire
to tear up the state railroad commis
sion because it lias handed down a

Gladys Walton Again
At Elite Theatre
The story of two young girls, one
raised in the slums, the other In the
lap of luxury, whom nature has form
ed in the physical mould and who
change identities for one hour, is the
theme of “Poor Girl, Rich Girl,” with
Gladys Walton at the Elite Saturday;
of tho strange events which follow
the introduction of the two in their
unaccustomed surroundings and the

That hog railing In Georgia Is one
of the moat proAlable Industries in
which to engage In has been demon
strated on a number of occasions re
cently.
A hog sale of the Poland China va
riety was held at Bonnlemeade, near
Thomnsvllle, this week and an aver
age price of $P>0 was received for the
hogs. Some sold aiAtlgh as 5225 each
These prices were not as high as aotne
which were received at a sale a few
months since. But conditions no\y
, are tighter and ready money scarcer.
However, with all that, the sale was
a great success and purchases from
that section of the state and Florida
were many.
If hogs can be raised successfully
In South Georgia, they can be raised
successfully In North Georgia. Tho
climate is such that hogs can ibact!
cully take care of themselves for a
part of the year and the production of
meat costs muct less than it does to
raise It in the west.
Georgia can be made one of the
greatest hog and cattle raising states
In the union, If the industry Is prop
erly engaged In. Cattle can be raised
cheaper or as cheap in this state as
they can In Texas and certainly the

more than In cotton growing.
With every condition favorable to

this state. It Is hoped that the farm*
ers will turn their attention to tills
line of Industry rather than to cotton
growing. If thero is no cotton grown
(n the next two years, the cotton
grower will be the better off. Tbe sur
plus he now has on hand will bring
him a better price and his hog and cat

than he ooulil ever hope to receive
from a crop of cotton even at twenty-
