There is always something romantic
and appealing in stories woven
around the revolutions of South
American republics. You never
know when you may need a friend
or whom that friend may be. A
tramp dog, a street urchin or a bank

morrow and in return you may do
them a great favor. "You Never
Know." Don't fail to see this beau
tiful story in pictures.

and other well known realtors thru
out the Btate are unanimous in pre
dicting mat the activity in farm
lands in 1925 will be far in excess of
that of 1924.
There men also are In agreement
in their opinion that the activity
will be confined to dealing by the
farmers themselves. In their opinion
the farmers are the best and most
logical buyers of land, and they say
! the farmers' ability to buy more land
' is getting better all the time.
The reports received from various
parts of the state regarding land
transactions Indicate that the opinion
of these men is correct.

show the sale of 160 acres of unim
proved land for $232.50 per acre. A

TO CONTRACTORS
President Urges Delegates to Stand
ardize Forms and Combat
Unemployment.
Washington, Jan. 12. Delegates
of the Associated General Contractors
of America, opening their annual con
vention here today, were advised by
President Coolidge in a brief ad
dress at the White House, that they
might serve the public interest by
standardizing contract forms and ad
justing operations to combat seasonal
fluctuations in employment.
Secretary Hoover, who spoke be
fore the convention later, expressed
opposition to the undertaking of con
struction work by governmental au
thorities without utilization of con
tractors' services.
"My own belief, as an engineer, la
that construction of public works by
contracts makes for national accom
plishment," he said.
Considerable waste In industry and
litigation, he added, is occasioned by
the indefinitene39 of present building
contract forms.
During general sessions of the con
vention the delegates began discus
sion of a proposed "code of ethics"
to govern contractors' relations with
clients.
- Leonard A. Watson of Boston, In
troducing a committee report on the
subject, predicted that labor rates in
building would remain stationary
during the next few months, and J.
W. Couper of Buffalo urged that con
tractors devote their efforts to re
ducing costs in affecting the effilien
cy of labor.
