Avoid Disputation.

The disputatious person never makes
good friend In friendship, men
look for peace and concord and some
measure of content. There are
enough battles to fight outside, enough
Earring and jostling in the street,
enough disputing in the market place,
enough discord in the workaday
world, without having to look for con-
tention in the realm of the inner life
also There, if anywhere, we ask for
an end of strife. Friendship is the
sanctuary of the heart, and the peace
of the sanctuary should brood over 1t.
Its chiefest glory is that the dust and
noise of contest are excluded.-Hugh

Portland Cement does
not come from Portland,
Maine, or Portland, Ore
gon, and it was not first
made at either of these
places. 1t is called Portland
because it was given this name
by the Englishman who first
made it. He called it Portland
because he thought it resembled GER
tain natural deposits on the Isle of Port
land in England. Portland Cement is
the fine powder produced by pulver-
lzing the clinker resulting from the
burning together of various materials of prop
er chemical composition. In the case of
UniJsr5aI Portland Cement, these raw mater
ials are blast furnace Stag and pure limestone.
There are many brands of Portland Cement
on the market, produced by different manu-
facturers. Untz'erJaiis one of the best known
and highest grade Portland Cemsnts. You
can always tell it by the name Univsrsaiand
the blue trade mark printed on each sack.
