by Flynn put hasty end to such specu-
lation
However, everybody considers him all
right

LOUISIANA LUMBER
PLANT SHUTS DOWN
Friction Between Brother
hood of Timber Work
ers Affects 1900

Merryville, La, November 13.-The
large plant of the American Lumber
company here, employing 1900 men,
was closed down today as a result of
friction with the Brotherhood of Tim
her workers. The company declined
to reinstate several employees who were
indicted in connection with the Grabow
labor riot and all the employees walked
out yesterday. Today the plant was
closed, and 1t was announced that an
effort would be made to reopen within
a few weeks with nom union labor.
The American Lumber company was
the only lumber company in this sec
ton which has employed union labor
exclusively.
After the acquittal of the labor lead
ers of murder charges in connection
with the Grabow riot the union men
have made Mertyville headquarters,
The closing of this large plant means
that the Brotherhood of Timber Work
ers is practically shut out of the big
lumber plants of southwest Louisiana.

To Control Chicken Lice.

Provisions should be made for a
dust bath in every chicken house, for
the problem Of. dealing with lice is
greatly reduced by its presence. The
objection that 1t creates dust Is great
ly overcome by It's beneficial features
and a closed bath with a special win
dow In the south side and accessible
by small opening can be easily con-
structed which has an additional ad-
vantage In that It Is comparatively
free from the danger OF any dirt or
litter accommodating from the pen. Fine
road dust, finely sifted coal ashes. etc,
are very desirable materials for the
dust bath. and the addition OF lime,
tobacco dust and patent preparations
tend to make 1t more effective.

CHAPTER XXI.
In the SMOKING Room.

Wellington's divorce breakfast re-
minded Ashton of a story. Ashton was
one of the great That-Reminds-M Me
family. Perhaps ii was to the credit
Of the Englishman that he missed the
point of this story, even though jim
ME Wellington saw it through his fog,
and DR.. Temple turned red and buried
his eyes in the eminently respectable
pages of the Scientific American.
Ashton and Wellington and Fosdick
exchanged winks over the Britisher's
stare Of incomprehension, and Ashton
explained II to him again in words of
one syllable, with signboards at all
the different spots.
Finally a CLEAN OF understanding
broke over Wedgewoods face and he
tried to justify his delay.
"Oh. yes, of cawse see It now. Yes.
l rather fancy l get you. It's awfully
good. isn't 1t? l think | should have
got IL before but I'm not really my
self; for two mawnings / haven't had
my tub"
Wellington shook with laughter: "If
you're like this now, what will you be
when you get to Sin san frasco-I
mean Frinsansisco-well, you know
what mean"
Ashton reached round fo- the cleo
trio button as II he were comforting a
favor: THE drinks are on you,
Wedgewood I'll ring" And he rang.
"Awf'lly kind Of you." said Wedge
wood. but how do you make that
out?"
The man that misses the point,
pays for the drinks" And he rang
again. Wellington protested.
But I've jolly we'll paid for all the
drinks for two days"
Wellington reared: That's another
point you've missed" And Ashton
rang again, but the pale yellow indi-
vidual who had always answered the
bell with alacrity did not appear.
Where's that Internal buffet waiter?"
grumbled.
Wedgewood began to litter. I'VE
were out of Scotch. so sent him for
some more"
"When?"
Two stations back. fancy we
must have left him behind"
well. why In thunder didn't you
say so7" Ashton roared.
''It quite escaped my mind" Wedge
wood grinned. Rather good joke on
you fellows, what?"
We'll. don't see the point" Ash
ton growled. but the triumphant Eng
lishman howled: That's where you
payi"
Wedgewood had his laugh to hira-
