F. John son, owner of the store building on , State street occupied by Ka- foorr's. entered into a contract with Carl Bahlburg to erect this attractlre home on the half block which" Mr. Johnson owns on Fir street between Lincoln and Le- felle. The residence, of consistent Georgian-Colonial type, has been designed by Clarence L. Smith, local architect. , Its beauty will be greatly enhanced by the land scaping which will take adran- tage of the already attractlre na tural setting. The house wiU be ot brick. Rooms Spacious Rooms in the new house will be exceptionally spacious. In, the UTfng rooms plaster and wood paneling will predominate. Every effect in the - interior har. been planned with the idea of erecting a fine home, the rooms being ar ranged to afford attractive views of the surrounding country as viewed from Fairmount hill. r While construction work wUl begin lmmediately.lt Is expected that the entire spring and a large; part of the summer time will .be needed for the completion of the1 work. The new home will be oc cupied by the Johnsons about September 1. FOR TIFF Will The ancient industry of brick manufacturing Is more interested in national legislation at this time than It ever before has been la its history. Brick Iff trying to have Itself re moved from the free list, and se cure a duty on foreign brick which will equalise the wide difference in the cost of manufacture ia Eu ropean countries as compared to the cost In this country. Unless relief Is secured from congress, the thousands of employees of hrick plants in this country wiU be reduced to something like the standard of living prevaUlng in the competing European coun tries." The best Information obtain able is that In Belgium the range of wages paid In brick yards is from 85 cents to SI. 2 6 per day. In American plants the average is about $5 per day. It was proven before the ways and .means committee at a hearing on free list recently that building brick made in Belgium and brought to this country by Bel gium subsidized ships could be laid down in New York several dollars below the actual cost of manufacturing brick on the Hud son river.

Settle Help From Code Now An analysis of the proposed code, according to- the A. A. A. brief, discloses that its adoption would accompUsh little or nothing to eliminate the undesirable prac tices and conditions - that have mUitated against the Interests of the purchasing public and which have eulminaied in a lage volume of national resentment. Particular attention Is called to the fact that the code does not propose any remedial measures for the prevention ot the short sales of gas and oU which now amount to a levy ot more than $20,000,- fOOO a year on the car owners; to II! SEEKING 10 OBTAIN PH PORTLAND, Ore., Mar. U. (AP) Pledging to devote the re mainder of his life to paying f 250, 000 to depositors of the defunct bank of Kenton of which he was president, J. V. Burke, under sen-- tence to eeven years in the state prison for misapplication of bank funds, Friday filed petition for pa role. The filing of the petition and accompanying personal pledge to make restitution followed closely on receipt of official word that the United States supreme court had refused to hear the appeal, holding that no federal question was Involved. Burke was convicted In circuit court here a year ago. Besides the prison sentence he was fined $2. 500. The total deficit to depositors in the close bank amounts to about $250,000. Parole by the court and execu tive clemency are the only remain, ing possible ajenues of escape from the enforcement of the sen tence. It was expected that the mandeie of the court would bs for. warded to the state supreme court at -Salem, April 1 and that com. mitment of .the former banker to the penitentiary would follow, f !

A. A., In its letter to Commissioner McCullough, e x presses keen Interest in any pro gram to stabilize the great Amer ican oil Industry but points out that the following Issues should be considered In the code: "1. What wiU the proposed code do to prevent the great variety of prices which prevail in almost ev ery territory? ? "2. What will the proposed code do about posting an exact state ment as to the quality of gas sold at each station, as well as the price? "3. What will the proposed code say about the possible restriction in the number of gasoline stations that are established at present in such numbers in many commun ities as are scarcely warranted by the business offered, the excess number of which undoubtedly adds to the cost of doing business? "4. We note that the proposed code would prohibit the public the opportunity of purchasing gas oline upon a cooperative' basis at a net saving. Those to be favored, according to the code, are those strong commercial organizations which can establish charge ac counts through written contracts. 0 m When You Plan To Build SEE BECKE & HENDRICKS - 18N.
