Convention with n Fine Banquet
An Interesting statement.
The annual convention of the Nations
Association OF Lumber Dealers close
last night with 'lumbermen's lunch
at the Kimball house, Davenport. tender
ed by the tri city dealers, and which par
took of the nature of a banquet. Tn
early part of the evening was spent at tn
theatre, visiting lumbermen attending a
the guests of local manufacturers. The
banquet commenced at IL o'clock ant
was presided over by Mr.. James A
Freeman, of the Gable Lumber company
at Davenport. The menu was elaborate
and embraced variety of reishes ant
palatable delicacies, and when the first
course of the programme was over, toastS
were announced when the following were
proposed and responded to: The Ma
tional Association of Retail Lumber
Dealers" Noah Ii, Pike; THE TIi-City
Market" Mr.. Fred Denkman. of Rock
Island; The Lumber Press" j. Newton
Mind, of Minneapolis; THE Lumber
Trade of the Country" Geo. w. Hotch-
kiss, of Chicago. The banquet closed
with vote of thanks TO the triNcity lumS
Der dealers for Inequalities and courte
sizes.
The Democrat Gdzette publishes an in
teresting interview with Geo. W. Hotch
kiss. of Chicago. editor of the Lam6er
Irdde journal, the official paper of the
association. the substance of which is
that the light attendance in Davenport
was due to an apprehension on the part
of the Illinois and Indiana members that
the association was going to pieces be-
cause of the law passed in those states
forbidding the operation of the feature
of rules of the association which has been
its strongest pillar. There is u law of
the association which forbids wholesale
dealer in or manufacturer of lumber,
selling bills to private customers in
town where members of this association
have yards established. If any jobber
or manufacturer viola ties it, then no men,
Der of the association would buy from
the offending party any more unless he
repaired the damage to the wronged re,
taller. The laws of Indiana and Illinois
make that agreement conspiracy and
provide severe penalties-and the Iowa
law narrowly misses the same thing. A
resolution was introduced in the conven-
ton and adopted, which will enable the
association to move right along and vio~
late no law. Mr.. Hotchkiss declined to
divulge the nature of the resolution as 1t
was passed in one of the secret sessions
of the association.

"Make Housekeepers of Your Girls" is the subject of an article in the October Ladies Home Journal and Practical Housekeeper, now at the news-stands-six cents.
 By the way, if you send ten cents in silver or stamps you will get four numbers, includ- ing the Thanksgiving and Christmas numbers, both of which are to be extraordinary.
 This magazine, which is nearing a million subscribers, shows what can be done by numbers. It costs no more to write for a million than for a few. It costs but little apiece for paper and printing and binding. The cost is in getting at it and stopping between.
