still declined today to comment on
the report that the sale by Manager

formal notification of the sale was
made yesterday, stated that he had
an engagement with Murphy tomor-

Guilty.
Chance says he is still ready to re
new his contract and manage the
Cubs as long as the owners desire

American TurpentIne.

American turpentine is obtained
chiefly from the longleaf pine, and the
immense importance to which the
trade in naval stores has come may
be shown by the fact that in order to
supply the demand for spirits of tur-
pentine, rosin and other products of
the pine trees resin there must be in
vaded annually 100000 acres OF virgin
forest to make good the decreasing
yield of the trees already tapped.

at the time of the Japanese war, he

paid transport contractors $3.50 per
