Sad Affair.

Say, Mr.. D. why is it your wife IS
always SO pleasant and everything
seems to go so smooth at your house?
At my house it is quite different. In the
morning my wife is cross and indif-
ferent, the same way at noon, and not
any better when | come home for sup
per-"
well, Mr.. Jones, I can explain that
to you right now. Your wife told my
wife the other day, that you always
buy the cheapest kind of wood, old
soggy stuff, and that is all the reason
that she is acting that way. Now, 1
don't know where you buy your wood,
but l buy my wood of Henry Weber,
SOP South Center street Say, it Is just
fine. There is nothing saved by buy
ing this cheap stuff anyhow. You call
him up and ask him all about it. He
will give you the best there is"

WILL STAND BY SON.
William Mac Diarmid, Of Omaha, Viii
Sacrifice Property if Necessary.

Sacrifice Property if Necessary.
William Mac Diarmid, of the Omaha
World Herald. will stand by his son,
DR.. Stuart B. Mac Diarmid president
of the defunct Green Mountain Saw
ings bank. who is under arrest and
$4,000 bonds, charged with Intention
al fraud in conducting a savings bank.
This statement was made to the T.-R.
by Mr.. Mac Diarmid, upon his depart
ure for Omaha Wednesday evening.
Mr.. Mae Diarmid expresses every con-
fidence in his sons innocence of any
intentional wrong doing, and says he
will stand by the boy"
while / am not a wealthy man"
said Mr.. Mac Diarmid. II have some
Omaha real estate that I can sell, at
sacrifice if necessary, in order to
help the boy out.
Stuart has been led into this trou-
BILE, am sure. He is still young, only
81, altho he appears to be much older,
and passes for an older man. He had
a good practice at Omaha, and looked
after it until he met Collins, who got
him worked up over some 'get-rich-
quick scheme. Stuart talked it over
with me before he went into this
banking venture, and I advised him to
stick to medicine. Collins showed him,
however, how he could earn 100000 in
five years. and Stuart thought this
prospect better than his profession.
"My son has fine home, and one
of the dearest little wives any man
ever had. She will stand by him, too.
The pair were schoolmates and went
thru high school together.
II have always tried to do the best
by my boys as was possible. Stuart
is the next youngest Of six. Their
mother is dead. My youngest son has
still one more year in medical college,
I have tried to give all my children
the benefits of good education. and fit
them for the world in the best possible
so they could enter it and do
for themselves. I feel sure that Stuart
will be able to show positively that, if
he has done anything that has not
been legal. he did it unwttingly, and
without the knowledge that it was
wrong"

LUMBERMEN ELECT
Officers Of Central Iowa Retailers As
ISOLATION Chosen - Business Meeting
Well Attended - Convention Closes
With Banquet at the Pilgrim.

Officers were elected and trade SUBJ
ject- were discussed at the business
n ing OF the convention Of the Cen
trail Iowa Retail Lumbermen's Asso-
citation, which closed with a banquet
at the Pilgrim hotel Wednesday night.
The officers elected were as follows:
President--A. B. Miller, Iowa Falls.
Vice president-A. c. Johnson, Du-
buque.
Secretary-C e. Greet, Eldora.
Treasurer-Andrew Rath, Ackley.
Directors for three years-C. e..
Finkbone, Des Moines; d. e. Baker,
Traer; and j. NJ. Junge, Minneapolis.
Flight the devil with his own fire, +"
was the keynote of the talks given be-
fore the convention during the after
noon, on the subject of catalog house
competition. This metaphorical devil
being the catalog house, and the fire
it's advertising, the moral for the re-
talers was plan-namely, advertise.
J. T.. Weart, Of Cherokee. secretary
Of the Northwestern Iowa Retail Lum-
bermens association, said in the short
address he made touching on this sub
ject, that lumbermen Were the poorest
advertisers on EARTH and that IS per
cent of the building supplies sold by
the catalog houses in the retailers
territory, the retailer never got
chance to make price on. He ad-
vocated advertising, using the same
cuts used in the big catalogs, with the
same prices. and perhaps even lower
prices, and with the same reading mat
ter describing the article. He advo-
Gated the local newspaper as the deal
ers best medium, and said the harder
and more persistent this campaign was
continued the sooner the retailer would
get on his feet.
Other short talks were made by
Platte NJ Walker of Minneapolis; edi-
tor of the Mississippi Valley Lumber
man; Mat L. Saley, Of Chicago, editor
of the American Lumberman; D. E.
Baker, of Traer; Stanley Moore, Of
Waterloo; G. D. Rose, Of Dubuque,
and c. E. Finkbine of Des Moines.
Resolutions commencing the course
pursued by the officers in handling the
affairs of the association and the aid
given the association by the trade Jour-
nails, were adopted.
A banquet Of four courses was
served at the Pilgrim. President Mil
Ter presided. The principal address
was by Rev. Jesse Cole of this city.
