Washington, D. c., Oct. 19.-Duty on
imported lumber coming over the Can
adian border will be waived by the
United States in the interest OF the
forest fire sufferes in the northwest.
This action, following close upon
the treasury departments suspension
of collection of duty on all dnatlons
for the sufferers coming from Canada,
was announced in kilograms today by
assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Curtis to the collector of customs at
St. Paul, and Ernest P. Bicknell, ma
tional director OF the Red Cross So
ciety.
Lumber duty, undor today's orders,
is to be waived as an act of interna-
tional courtesy. Lumber will thus be
brought into the United States by the
Red Cross at reduced rates for the
benefit of the Minnesota fire suffer-
ers upon. Director Bicknelps guaran-
tee that no abuse of the privilege will
be permitted and that only lumber alb
solutely necessary will be brought
Canada is regarded is the only not
ural field for quick supply of the lum-
Der necessary in such an emergency
and the low price at which 1t is to
be obtained for those in distress on
this side of the boundary is regarded
as making such shipments virtually
donations.

If we question the reason why the
state should spend money for the train
ing of its citizens, the answer will be
that it does so primarily for sclf-prcser-
walton. The state wants to live, grow
and develop Hence it spends yearly
lavish sums of money for school pur
poses and tries to look carefully after
the schools. The culture the individual
citizen may acquire from this training
is of secondary Importance to the state

ONE OF THE GREATEST TESTS

punishment. A man is good man
in proportion as he can take hard
knocks and overcome them. The
same rule holds good in the business
world. A product is good product
in proportion as it can take hard
knocks and overcome them. There
never was a good proposition that
didn't have imitators and no goods
overtopped the market without over
coming tremendous competition.
Take RuBERo1D RooF1NG for
instance. It was put on the market
nineteen years ago by The Stand
ard Paint Co. of New York. It was
the best roofing made when it was
put on the market, always has been,
and is now-the best value for its
price under every test to which roof
ing can be put.
Another advantage of RUBERoD
RooF1NG is that it is also made in
permanent colors of RED and
GREEN. The reason RUBERo1D COL
ors are permanent is that they are
not painted on-they are built into
the fabric, and so cannot peel off.
Apart, altogether, from the tcsti-
mony to it's value which is supplied
by people who have had it on their
roofs for nineteen years, the most
irrefutable evidence of it's superiority
is the cold, unvarnished fact that
to-day it has over three hundred imi-
tators, and that most of them use
the letters "oid" at the end of the
word which they use to describe their
goods, and some of them go even
further. They think they can't sell
roofing at all unless they call it by
the same name as The Standard
Paint Co.'s roofing.
Suppose you had heard O

made up your mind to buy it, ane
asked for it from your dealer, ant
instead got some other roofing
called by a name ending in old.
Would you be getting a square
deal? Would you be getting wha
you asked for? Would you bt
getting what you wanted or you

Of course not.
