ALL KINDS OF BILLS,
Big biIIS--LittIe bills.

Any kind of bl-just as long as it is
Lumber or Building Material bill.
That's our business and that's where we
shine. We can give you closer set of
figures on that lumber bill you're going to
buy than nybody around here, and give you
better grades to boot We are. cranks on
quality and believe the best is none too good
for our customers Consequently we offer
only the choicest grades of stock manufact-
ured, and guarantee you absolute satsfac-
ton with anything you buy here-from
bunch of lath to complete house or barn bill.
Besides having the largest and best assorted
stock, we keep it all under cover, SO when you
come here for building material you won't
get dirty, warped and weather beaten stuff.
And say Just give US your ear a minute
longer Owing to the unprecedented demand
for building material this year, prices are LA
BILE to be much higher than they now. So
you'll be showing streak of wisdom by buy
ing what material you need-NOW.

peached, but as most of them repre-
sent European and monarchical inter
ests it is realized that their training
may be regarded as unsympathetic
where they are required to deal with
such an essentially American subject
us the Monroe doctrine. 1t is true that
on its face the arbitration proposal con
talls nothing that indicates that this
doctrine is to be attacked, but so COM
plex and numerous are the questions
which will come before the arbitration
that it is apprehendcd here that the ia
blous doctrine scarcely can be kept
from consideration.
Another reason that animates these
cabinet officers in this inclination to-
ward acceptance is their conviction
that az nordinatc length of time would
be consumed il the issue is taken be-
fore The Hague tribunal. The ma
rhinery is sufficient but ponderous and
difficult to put :" lotion.
nlr0ns pressure Is being brought to
bear upon the president to decline the
Invitations to act as arbitrator. This
pressure comes from the newspapers,
from public men throughout the co,n-
try and from senators and representa-
tiyes in Washington.
