A Word About Buying Lumber,
MilIwork and Building Supplies

The best managers all over the country are
realizing that the safest and most comfor-
table way to invest money is in building and
improving right at home.
In this connection, it is time will spent to
consider the actual values received for each
dollar spent for Lumber, Mill Work and
Building Supplies.
We believe that it pays well to compare our
prices and grades, as we are carrying large
and carefully selected stocks of Lumber.
Shingles, Laths, Flooring, Siding, Ceiling,
Sash, Doors, Blinds, Moulding, Cement,
Lime, Wall Plaster, Etc, which we buy
direct from the biggest producers in large
quantities and handle at the lowest cost to
our customers.
We will complete large addition to our
new mill about April 1st, which, with a
number of new machines and an increased
force of skilled mechanics, will enable US to
turn out much larger quantity and better
class of special mill work.
We can save you money. We can ship you
satisfactory material. We can ship it prompt
ly. You can prove this to your own salts
faction by looking over our stock and then
comparing our prices, and we would greatly
appreciate your doing this.

ceived too many severe beatings to
hope to come back like some young
man might. The beatings are the
thing that take the sap and stamina
out of a fighter. There is a nat
ural limit to what the human con-
stitution can stand. And Flynn ap-
pears to have reached that limit in
this McCarty battle.
Surely Jess Willard looms I'm now
as one Of the most likely to upset
future dope. That fight he had
with McCarty in New York dem

HOWL FOR SHORT
SCHEDULE VERY
BUSH LEACUEY
By Percy II. Whiting.

I IKE an echo from the deep
bushes, from the haunts of
the Glass d league. comes the
noise of the howl for a shorter
schedule for the Southern league.
or all tile short-sighted, short
measure short skate proposals this
is most nearly the limit.
The location of the Southern
league makes it an ideal organi-
zation Tor a long schedule. Good
weather comes early. il stays late.
Baseball can be played with Ger
tainty of good weather from April
1 to September 30-and usually
longer.
Yet fight is on in the Southern
league to shorten the season. Pres
ident Kavanaugh proposed to the
magnates that they cut the sched-
ule from $40 games, Is it is at pres
ent, to l26 games. In that case each
team would play each other team
three three game series at home
and three on the road.
The argument in favor Of the
shorter schedule is that the fall
games don't make any money. any
how.
II is quite possible that. in sew
cral Southern league cities, the last
two or three weeks are not paying
ones But the logic Of supposing
that by looping off two or three
weeks all the clubs will make
money all the time would bring
tears to the eyes of even a juvenile
logician
The reason the late games do not
pay is that before these games ar
rive the league race is usually set
tied. And after it is there is no
hope of big attendance. Cut off the
last three weeks of the playing sea-
son, say, and you will have the in
terest dying out three weeks ear

THE moguls didn't fall for Presi-
dent Kavanaugh's scheme, but
some of the natural born ecouo-
mists We're inclined to favor playing
the $40 games and packing them
into as short time as possible.
These men reason that by playing
$40 games they viii get as much
money as ever, but by playing them
in less time they win cut down ex-
peuses. The logic of this is flaw

the son of an English weaver. He be-
gan life as a Baptist clergyman, was
driven out of his church for perjury
and became a chaplain in the British
navy. He was dismissed from this
service for gross misconduct and went
to study for the priesthood in Jes-
nit college. Here he was found to
be vicious, hypocritical and worthless,
and was expelled in disgrace. Thus
in 1878. at the age Of flfty-nine, he
was cast upon the world to pick up
living by his wits. Already he had
been branded as a blackguard, but
now his real career of deadly mischief
was beginning.
Hating the Jesuits for their just
condemnation of him, he went to
Charles H., king of England and in
vented story of Jesuit plot to MUIR
der the king and to start general
massacre. His tale was an absolute
lie from first to last, and 1t was
so awkwardly devised that the king
in a few careless questions exposed it
as not only false but utterly absurd.
Oates was not discouraged. Failing
to convince Charles Of the falsehood,
he went before a magistrate named
Godfrey and publicly took oath that
his charges we're true. The govern
ment and the people at large seemed
to forget that Oates had already been
convicted of perjury and that his
whole life was that of man whose
word was not to be credited. Panic
struck statesmen and populace alike.
They believed their kings life was
really threatened. No proofs to the
contrary nor appeals 10 their sanity
could check this belief. The nation
was made with excitement. Charles
alone-the supposed plots intended
victim-remained calm and laughed at
the entire affair as a hoax.
Nearly 1000 innocent persons were
arrested on Oates false testimony as
members of the conspiracy. Brave.
honest, loyal Englishmen were tried
