that the advance in many lines oi
materials may be permanent and that
we may never again be able to buy
building materials as cheap as we
were able to do a year or two ago. or
for that matter as we can now. If
this be true, those who are letting
building operations pend until a re
turn to normal conditions are making
a mistake. The careful analysis of
present conditions seems to indicate
ttut it is a part of wisdom for iUoc
having any intention of building at
all to put their plans into execution
at once. There should be no curtail
ment in building. The country is
prosperous; building investors should
not hesitate to go ahead with their
plans."

High School to Have
z Seven Periods This Year
The Board of Education has de
cided that the high school day shall
consist of seven periods instead of
six, as last year. The periods will
each be a little over forty minutes
and the lunch periods, which will
come at about 11:55 and 12:35, will
be twenty minutes each.
"Most high schools," said Mr. Mas
ters, principal of Central High, "have
either seven or eight periods. Few
still have only six. The change is
necessitated here by the congested
condition of the school. More than
twelve teachers have no regular
room. The new arrangement pro
motes greater efficiency, since the
pupils are compelled to spend an ex
tra period in supervised study."
The school day will begin at 8:45
and close at 2:38.

tion. The bureau of publicity has re

ness men of Omaha soon.
American Red Cross Treats
All Wo.unded Men Alike
Many questions have arisen as to
the attitude of the American Red
Cross toward Germans wounded on
the battlefield, and also toward Amer
icans of German origin affiliating
themselves with Red Cross hospital
units going abroad. To make clear
the attitude Of the Red Cross, Henry
P. Davison, chairman of the War
council, authorizes, the following
statement:
"When war was declared between
the Uinted States and Germany, the
neutralitv of the American Red Cross,
of course, ended automatically. The
American Red Cross can co-operate
only behind the lines of the armies of
the United States and its allies.
"But the Red Cross knows no such
thing as the nationality of a wounded
man. Any wounded enemy turned
over to thctare of the American Red
Cross will receive as kindly treat
ment as any friend.
"The Red Cross will also assist in
every possible way the sick, wounded,
and afflicted among the civilian oopu
lati&ns among our allied countries.
"As to the policy of the Red Cross
in this country toward those of Ger
man origin, the Red Cross knows no
difference and makes no distinction
between any American citizen."
Nearby Towns Sending

With the weather man anything but
kind to the summer parks the last
week, no material decrease in attend
ance has been noticed at Lakeview

ment enterprise.
All of the attractions are now in
better running condition than ever
before, the prime favorites being the
jack rabbit coaster and the dance pa
vilion, with the old mill, skating rink
and others running them a close sec
ond. Picnic parties are still a popular
pastime and in the last week there
have been a number of parties from
the small towns around that enjoyed
the pleasures that Lakeview has to
offer.

S. Clark, owner of the opening attrac
tion at the Gayety, to make arrange
ments for a summer outing for his

Urges Building Regardless
Of Present High Prices
The St. Paul Pioneer Tress of recent
date quotes with approval a magazine
that discusses the wisdom or folly of
postponing building projects because
of the advanced prices demanded for
everything that goes into a building.
This magazine declares it is unwise
to postpone, saying: "Now is the time
to build. The high prices for all kinds
and grades of lumber do not seem to
be greatly affecting the market, as
the demand is holding strong, and in
some quarters it is exceeding the sup-
"There is abundant reason to be

the continuance of the war, but for a
