As a whole, this country is Forty her cent underbuilt." ' This being the case, don't you see that you are actually losing by not. building?

You are holding a piece of ground which might be turned into some, one's residence. .To this extent you are under moral obligations to the city to build. And by allowing your property to lie, unsightly and unimproved, you are hindering the enhancement of property values in your neighborhood. Thus you suffer still another loss. i . For an?

Dairy barns are of several types, but tbo farm owner with a herd of eight een or twei ty cows wants a building that ran be constructed economically and will be v eather-proof and arrang ed conveniently.

They keep high-priced animals healthy and productive, save labor, and con serve feed, which at It present price I good business. In planning a dairy barn, or general purpose-barn. It I always well to con sult the local architect, builder and vaatertal dealer before deciding nn the design. These men know how a barn should be built to supply the negls of the Individual. They also can tell what such a building will cost, and will help finance the building fl.ould It be necessary. Dairy products are high In price now, just as are other farm products.

It seemed prudent to reconnolter and then hold a council to deride which direction would le safest. So the sol diers went out ico itlng In pnlrs. The first pslr climbeil a hill and saw another hill, and havinr climbed that they saw aonther. After om iwentv hours they returned and re ported that they hsd not seen any thing hut just ona hill nfior another. The other scout made like report. "Well." said tho lleitffnant, "It seem that nolxxly really know any thing;, o we best just go ahead," And they duly reached their destination. If you are looking for hill then I nothing else within the whole circle of th horiion; you can eo uncertainties in any given direction. It would bo foolish, In this disturbed world, to as sert that anybody absolutely knows anything about tha f.iture. So the only senslhle plan is just to go ahead, for there I on certainty nnmely, that If wo don't go ahead we shall nevef get anywhere. There is. the matter of price, for alampl.

If there Is anything you can make good use of, from a pair of shoes to farm, go ahead and buy it right now and get tha us of it If you have Immediate mod of build ing, go ahead and build it Mr. Ml cawber, you remember, was alwaJi waning ior someuiinK w "h- Nothing ever doe turn up for the man who sits round waiting for it Things turn up for people who go ahead.
