NOW IS THE TIME TO BUILD

The American Lumberman publish
ed In Chicago, has the following to say
on the question OF building:
Ignorance on the part OF an individ-
ual, community, state or nation may
not be excused when every opportunity
exists for its removal.
just now the building trade of the
United States is unsatisfactory be-
cause of the general Indifference or
neglect Of the business educational
factors, The time to build is when
material aud labor can be secured on
most advantageous terms. That
time is now.
Ignorance Of the present unusual
opportunities, and the failure to take
advantage of conditions which may
not again present themselves for years,
are inexcusable.
This ignorance is due to careless
ness, negligence or oversight on the
part of commercial educators, as
stated. 1t should be charged up to
the shortcoming Of lumbermen, deal
erS in hardware. real estate men,
bankers, commercial organizations
and industrial associations.
The press of the country occasionally
prints an article setting forth the
currant advantages which builders
may derive, but no systematic cam
paign for the enlightenment of the
people who are in position to build
ever has been launched.
The time to build. This country is
suffering, if at all, with suppressed
enthusiasm. The warehouses are full;
stocks of lumber, building hardware,
lime, cement and all other classes of
building material are more than
sufficient to supply the present de-
mands. Nominally some manu-
facturers of building materials have
not lowered their prices, but in every
line, owing to the slack demand
dealers are willing to make concessions
TO secure business. This is true Of
the glass makers, lumbermen, hard
ware dealers, brick and stone men and
Of producers of almost every article
that enters into the construction of
dwellings, warehouses and office build
ings.
1t is true in every line of industry
in the United States and each particu
lar department of trade waiting for
something to start.

OUR YOUNGEST
BUSINESS MAN
Seven Year-oId Boy Claims
That Distinction.
Claims

Albert Keyes, is undoubtedly the
youngest business man that Grand
Rapids people can boast of. At least
thus far we have failed to find any
competitor entitled to the above
honor.
Albert, who is the seven-year old
son of Mir. and Mrs. James Keyes, has
been appointed general agent for the
handling of the Saturday Evening
Post in this city by the Curtis Pub
fishing Co., of Philadelphia, as he has
outdistanced all competitors in his
sales of the post" in Grand Rapids.
The boy has evinced quite a talent
for business, very unusual for one of
his tender age. He not only acts as
agent himself, but has hired number
of other little boys to sell papers for
him. Last week this little coterie of
hustlers sold 1S9 copies of the POST, :"
which is considerable greater num-
Der than was ever sold here at any
time before.
The Curtis Publishing Co. are CIV
ing a number of valuable rewards to
their boy agents who sell the greatest
number of copies of this magazine.
One of the conditions being that they
increase there regular sales at the
rate of five copies a week. Young
Keyes has not only done this, but
even better, increasing his sales at the
rate of six per week for the past four
or five weeks thereby gaining second
place in the list of prospective winners
We would kindly ask that our read.
ers assist the boy in his efforts to win
out, as he is worthy little fellow and
well merits your patronage.

SIDE LIGHTS AND LIGHT SIDES OF
CANDIDATES,

How hard Candidate must work,
To have his name selected;
And after that work harder still
To get himself elected.
That's Fairbanks shadow On the grass
Look thin-but rather nice;
If he's not Alpha in the race
He might again be Vice,
There's Brother Byran in the race,
And tho his tongue is timber,
l fear he is not sound enough
For Presidential timber.
There's smell of powder in the air.
And that loud noise you know
Is Cannon booming for President,
Saluting-Uncle Joe.
In case they need a man for Vice:
Put good trap in view,
Bait with Opportunity, and watch
For George B. Cortelyou.
There is no scarcity of men
From which to pick aud choose;
Variety is the spice of life;
And-there is Charley Hughes.
There's Johnson, Hearst, Foraker
Towne,
And KnoX-oh, quite mob,
From the Badger State there's La
Toilette.
Better known as "Fighting Bob'.
The field is simply full of them,
But looking fore and aft,
I'll lay a few odds on the side,
And bet on Billy Taft,

INSURANCE LEGISLATION
Life Insurance Men and Leqis-
Iative Members of Wisconsin
Have Been Attracted to an
Article Published in the
"W0rId Today"

MADISON, Wisconsin, June 18TH
The attention of life insurance men
and members of the legislature who
have been interested in the recent
risk" laws passed in Wisconsin, has
been attracted to an article which ap-
pears in the "World Today" written
by w. J. Graham. Mr.. Graham is de-
clared by the magazine to be a high
authority on the subject of life in
surance and has the following to say
of the new Wisconsin insurance laws:
"The spectacle of the companies of
the country being driven out of the
great state of Wisconsin through
legislation impossible of consistent
construction by the men who recon-
mended and enacted it, would be
humorous were it not destructive in
effect"
For the purpose of determining the
weight which should be given to MIR.

however, little Elsie Pospisiel, who
had heard the shot while with her
mother, ran to where her father lay
in a heap and threw herself across his
body, crying Daddy, daddy" as she
pressed her face to his and kissed him.
There weren't many dry eyes in that
