July meeting with Mr.. and Mrs. H
Johnson. and the session was much en-.
joyed. There were guests from Wash
ington, d. c., and a number from
Toledo. Our president called the meet

A patriotic program was given, Rev.
Woodlands speaking eloquently on
Patriotism. There was singing by
Mrs. Elmer Black, "Old Bunker Hill. "
a recitation followed by Eugene Wood.
A resolution of thanks was voted to
Sheriff Watson for stopping Sunday

Miss Mabel Wood favored the club
with selection. "The Stars and

Miss Stack was heartily received. This
ended the program. We were served a
fine six o'clock dinner by the hostess.
There were fifty-seven members and
guests present.

II 10 thought that an intelligent invest

making it seem desirable to many of
Ehs wanderers from Sweden to return
20 their old homes. It is more than
probable that this effort which was
started by direction of King Oscar him.

goods are not the only ties that now
hind his former subjects to the land of
ibsir present homes. Most of them be-
long to the political party of which
Abraham Lincoln was the greatest
nesaeY. They have absorbed the ideals
nj Lincoln and his party, and in turn
hoy have given to that party some of
their own home-loving and home. Great
ipg ideals Regardless of the distant
land Of their birth they are Americans
now. They have given something of

she urgent invitation of their former
king will not tempt them to desert

Red cedar from which pencils are
made, has become so scarce that 1t en-
JOYS tie unique distinction of being
bought and sold by the pound. Most
of this cedar comes from Tennessee, AL
ALBANIA and Florida, and the supply in
Tennessee is nearly gone. Fence rails
that weathered the Civil War have gone
into pencils. Stumps have been dug
mp and sold for more than did the trees
which were cut from them to make
railroad ties. Fence posts have given
way to newer kinds of wood and have
been carried to the pencil factory to be
sold for 10 cents a hundred pounds
And yet this red cedar will grow any

Republican party at present, he said
81 am certainly much in favor of the
nomination of Mr.. Cannon as President
l believe and know him to be one of the
safest and most able men that could be
proposed for that Office
Only the possibility of the renomina
tion of President Roosevelt can prevent
the nomination of Mr. Cannon, accord
ing to Congressman Fordney. eff re-
nominated, he said, Roosevelt would
certainly be electe J.. But he has said
that he will not take the nomination
and as long as l have known him
have always found him to be man OF
his word. Hence don't for minute
doubt that he means exactly what he
says. Eliminating Roosevelt from con.
sideration, then, no other candidate for
the Office has been proposed who is so
eminently fitted as is Mr.. Cannon, and
as far as am concerned he is certainly
my choice.
Mr.. Cannon is typical American.
He is man of the people more than
any one whose name has been mention
ed. He is a firm believer in the pro-
tective policy of the Republican party.
He is never pessimist, is alwa VS.
broad minded and conservative in ma.
tional affairs and don't think there is a
man in the United States today in
whose hands national affairs would be
safer than in those of Mr. Cannon.
1T has been said that Mr.. Cannon is
a man of rather advanced age, but
while he is 7Oyears of age and over 1
hardly think there is man of that age
in the country who is more vigorous
and we'll preserved. both physically
and mentally.
He is believer in a sound financial
policy, and believer in the upbuilding
of the merchant marine, not for the
benefit of any special class or set of
men but for the good of the general
public, the only plan on which a mer-
chant marine can successfully be built.
His administration of the house for
the past two congresses has proven him
to be of an executive ability far beyond
and above the average man in public
life"

Lumbermen in the United States are
cutting four times as much lumber
each year from the forests of the coun
Try rs nature is supplying. The average
American uses some 400 feet of lumber
each year, as against but sixty feet used
by his European neighbors. Lumber
prices are just twice as high as they
were in 1900, and the tendency is still
upward Men in the lumber business
arc beginning to look at the problem
seriously. The Federal forest reserves
rs recently increased by President
Roosevelt comprise an area greater than
abe tetal area of the Republic of France
OF the German empire in Europe, each

careful and conservative estimates
show that the lumber supply will be
practically exhausted in from thirty to

Lumber.

Lumber" according to the>Lon-
don Chronicle, acquired a new Dig
nifty "when it crossed the ocean and
shook off all association with the
lumber room. But the words ear
lier history is still more curious if
the conjecture is right that makes
lumber room older than lumber,
its contents, and explains the former
as Lombard room,' the room in
which the Lombard banker and
broker stored his miscellaneous
pledges. Undoubtedly in the sew
enteenth and eighteenth centuries
a lumber house was pawnshop,
in the lumber meant in pawn, and
man in Jail was metaphorically
numbered or 'in Lombard street. "
