The importance of getting
correct count is as great to
you as it is to Hearst.
You do not care to pay
for a 1000 feet of lumber
and get 600 feet. But if a
yard delivers you OCCASION
ally loads that tally like
this (through no dishonest
motive mind you, only
through carelessness) you
suffer Just the same.
Do you want to take
chances or do you want to
trade with a yard where
every piece in every load is
checked three distinct times
before being billed out? This
is expensive work to us; but
it pays in the resulting sat
isfaction. Our customers
tell us that it is one of the
reasons why they like to
deal with us. We would

DREAM CANE rRUE.
This Man Had Vision Of Danger to One
Whom He Never Knew.

This Man Had VISION OF OamBGE " OA~
Whom, He Never Knew.
Dreams do sometimes come true.
When this happens various explana-
tons are usually offered. The scien-
fist may declare for telepathy, the spir-
itualist for the intervention Of "spir-
dts" and the matter-of-fact man for
ample coincidence. Be that as it may,
the fact still remains that when a
dream actually comes to pass" the
history Of it appeals to each and ev-
cry one. OF such instances here is an
interesting one" says Andrew Lang in
Longman's Magazine.
~ may have told before, some
where, but may be permitted to re-
peat, a story Of a dream in deep sleep,
told to me at first hand by the wife Of
the dreamer. Mr.. Thomas mot the
real nance, was a Welsh squire.
whose place is in rural district One
might my informant, Mrs. Thomas,
was awakened by hearing her hus-
band talking in his sleep. He was ex.
citedly crying:
Poor old man! Poor old manp
Mrs. Thomas, to amuse herself, said,
Poor old dear! What is the matter,
with htmp Still asleep, her husband
replied, He cannot get out Of the fire
and smoke What is his manner ask
ed the woman. After pause her hus-
band answered: John Methuen,' after
which his comments became inarticu-
late and ceased.
Next morning Mrs. Thomas asked
her husband what he had been dream
ing about an old man, John Methuen,
in great danger, but the dreamer was
unconscious Of having dreamed at all.
The pair left their house for visit by
rail, before the arrival Of the news
paper, and, at the little station, found
only the evening paper of the previous
day, 1t contained paragraph about
the killing Of one John Methuen, by a
railway engine, on a level crossing.
Now, in this case, few will say that
pure "huke" could give the right name,
the surname not being common. Tele-
pathy from Methuen to Mr.. Thomas,
whether at the moment of Methuen's
death or after his death, cannot be
explained by personal sympathy, as
Mr.. Thomas had never heard Of the
man. in his life.
1t would rathr appear that inteliec-

the accident, and had found recipient

Fresh Blood.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press
Lest this old world should become
faded and weary Of itself we have each
year the army Of graduates, eager,
hopeful, enthusiastic and with a zest
for life which arouses even the pessi-
mist to fresh interest in humanity and
things.
The cocksureness of the average
graduate and his temerity in attacking
problems so great that the wisest have
lain down under them often provoke a
smile; yet we love him none the less.
We cannot do without him. He is an
infusion of fresh blood into the worlds
veins. He quickeHs CUR hope and our
self-confdenee, and helps Us look upon
the whole vast scheme of things with q
kindlier eye. We believe in him, even
while we sigh over the rude disillusion-
ments that await him, and because OF
him we believe more heartily in our
selves.
Fhe race could suffer the loss of a
great many other riches more readily
thaa it could suffer the loss of the high
ideals, the glowing purposes, the rides
cent dreams and the knightly aitruism
of these boys and girls who year after
year confidently fling themselves into
the thick of life's turmoil. Their sim=
ple-hearted faith is better wisdom than
anything they have CLEANED from books,
and their ehiyalrous impulses are them
selves greater reward than any Of the
material gains which they may later
win. By these qualities they help keep
mankind true to its best self and this
world from becoming world of wolves,
each bent alone on self-interest.

A Plea For the Birds.
1t is the man that counts.
Montgomery Advertiser

Montgomery Advertiser.
In the June issue of the Southern
Workman, published by the Hampton
Normal and Agricultural Institute,
there is a highly interesting and in
structive article on "Some Birds Use
full to the Southern Farmers. - 1t
names and describes quite number OF
the birds which help the farmer, the
gardener and the fruit grower by de-
stroying the insects which injure his
crops. Martins, swallows, wrens, blue
birds, jays, mocking birds and quite a
number of other common birds are de-
scribed and their food pointed out.
Even the much maligned hawk and owls
are not all of them injurious, for they
help to keep down the rabbits, rats,
mice and other harmful small fry.
1t has been said by some observer
that eff all the birds were to die, the
insects, unchecked, would in ten years
eat every green thing off the earth.
This may appear an extravagant state
ment, but there are two things to be
considered in this connection. One is
the almost incalculable rapidity OF in
grease in case of nearly every known
species, and the other is the absolute
impossibility Of destroying them by
mere human efforts. Even in the case
of the larger kinds, the lecusts, worms,
weevils and the like, the constant war
fare waged against them fails to de-
stroy them or even to prevent them
from doing great damage. When we
come to the smaller varieties, and those
which are less open in their habits, we
can easily understand that no plan that
has been or can be devised by man
could keep them from overrunning the
earth if there was nothing to keep them
down but our own efforts.

The Known and Unknown Dead.
Mobile Register.

mobile Register.
The recent memorial exercises at the
graves of those who fell on the Fedora
side of the recent bloody controversy
between the states of the North and
South have brought to attention some
interesting facts and figures.
May 80 was selected in 1868 as dec
grafton day for the north by General
John A, Logan, who was then comman-
der-in-chief of the Grand Army of the
Republic. The custom Of decorating
the graves of the soldier dead originated
with the women of the south, and was
first practiced in South Carolina in the
spring Of 1865. Women of Mississippi
decorated the graves of both Confeder-
ate and Union soldiers, and at once a
responsive chord was touched through
out the Union. Decoration day is a
holiday by state enactment, New York
having been the first state to so declare
1t, while Alabama was the first state to
declare memorial day, which is fixed as
April 26.
In the south is bivouacked the great
army of the unknown Federal dead.
There are III, 900 known dead and A.
495 unknown dead buried in the seventy
nine large and we'll kept national eeme=
teries maintained by the Federal gov
eminent. Nearly all of these are in
the south. Virginia contains the largest
number Of Federal dead, $4,000; Ten
nessee comes next, with $1,000. These
figures tell the story Of where the eon=
flict was most sanguinary, and have
their parallels in the number of Con-
federates who fell in the same engage
ments. Georgia contains 23, 298, North
Carolina is, 6S3, and South Carolina H.
299. New York has about 1000, New
Jersey $500, Pennsylvania 5000, and
several other northern states contain a
few hundred Federal graves, the occu-
pants of most of which were removed
from southern battle grounds. At An
Jacksonville, Georgia, where was located
the famous prison, about $4,000 are
buried. At Salisbury, North Carolina,
of 1925 Federal dead only "a are
known. At Fredericksburg, Virginia,
IL, TO are unknown, and at Yicksburg,
Mississippi, 12,7O4 are nameless, while
of the 1,068 who sleep in the national
cemetery at Mobile, there are 229 in I'M
named graves.
The largest number contained in any
national cemetery sleep at Yicksburg-
16, $40; the next largest, at Nashville
1855. At Arlington, Virginia, there
are 16, 26O, and at Fredericksburg, the
same state, there are 15,257.

the church be doubted; better that hum
dreds of thousands of mujiks go to their
death in the far east than that grand
duke lack diamonds for his mistress;
better the wreck of the world in uni
versal war than the admission by Gods
anointed that Holy Russia has lost
prestige.
Official and clerical Russia is today
gaoaning with the burden of wealth &C
cumulated during long centuries OF rob-
berry of the soil, and the enslavement
of man. Her state Golfers are bursting
with hidden wealth. Her rulers, from
the car down, own more land and more
treasure than the ransom of an empire.
Her churches are bedecked with gold
and precious gems, the money value OF
which would not only pay all the indem-
nifty Japan is likely to ask, but would
cancel the war debt and go far to the
purchasing of the freedom of the Rus
sian people; but these treasures are de-
voted to the glory of God and the glori-
fication of the church, and the church,
from the days of Annas the High Priest,
has crucified the spirit of God in order
that the flesh of her dogmas might
live.
