Never before in the experience OF the
management of the Glover Cotton Man
ufacturing company has been onereo SO
much cord wood as this year. Mr.;

puzzled to know where to store the
wood, as the company's' wood yard will
not begin to hold all that the company
will need or that people want to haul.
1t Is probable, however, that arrange.
ments will be made for additional
storage room. Some Of the wood now
being delivered IS hauled distance or
ten miles.
