]. w. Rodgers, a prominent whole
sale lumber dealer OIL this city, has
lust returned from a business trip to
Pittsburg, Pa. and is quite optimistic
as to the business situation.
Mr.. Rodgers states that it is no
ticeable wherever one meets with bus
mess men, whether in Pullman
smoker, a hotel lobby or a business
office, that the belief is practically
unanimous that Woodrow Wilson will
be the next president of the United
States.
Instead of this having an unfavor-
able effect on business it appears to
be adding strength to naturally strong
business conditions. Contrary to the
usual business inertia incidental to
presidential years. increasing activity
prevails in every line. Both the steel
and lumber market is strong. In

CARMINOLlTE FOR
ROAD BUILDING

The piece of model road being built
ON Newman street, it is believed, will
clearly show the value of that road
building material known as car
minolite," and for which the claim is
made that it is the cheapest known
good paving for residential sections.
The impression has gained currency
that because of the fact that carmino-
lite has the same termination as
"dynamite." it has explosive qualities.
This material is not explosive, but
is highly plastic and adhesive-hence
its perfect adaptability to the building
OF good roads.
The term "carminolite" is scien-
tific one, composed of the word car
mine-red and lite indicating its
geological formation.
A personal inspection made by a

WORK At NORMAL
NEARS COMPLETION

Hamilton Johnson, the contractor
for the erection of the heating plant.
sewerage, ceptic tanks, water mains
and stand pipes for State Normal Col
lege, is making rapid progress with
his work. The sewer pipes are nearly
all down, the water mains are all laid
and most of the connections are made.
A 50,000-gallon water tank is today
being put up. The prospects now are
that this work will all be in readiness
for service the day the college opens.
The water tank is to stand on a
tower 100 feet from the ground, the
tank is to be 40 feet high. This in
sures ample water pressure for all
purposes. The water will be supplied
from the artesian well now in com
mission, yielding an abundance of pure
water for all needs for years to come.
There will be a large central steam
power plant to be used for heating
purposes, and for operating all perma
nent machinery used on the college
grounds. The pumping will be done
by steam.

never COMPLAINED
AGAINST Hello GIRL

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 23.-Although
ne has used the telephone practically
ever since it has been invented, DR..
Geo. H. Detwiler, pastor of West End
Methodist church, said in his sermon
that he had never found cause for
complaint against the telephone girl.
DIR. Detwiler delivered a sermon upon
Courtesy" and severely criticised
some people on their conduct. He
referred to a church member who had
spoken in such manner to street
car conductor that he was compelled
to make an apology to the company.
He showed how it pays to be courteous
On trains, in hotels and other places.
On several occasions he showed how
by standing aside quietly when there
were scrambles and confusion he had
secured the best room in hotel and
a lower berth in Pullman car, while
others in a scramble ahead of him lost
out.
DR.. Detwiier showed how courtesy Is
a big factor in practical religion. He
admitted that there are provocations,
and sometimes things don't work
exactly right In using the telephone
when this occurs he thinks of how the
operator has been at her post since
7 o'clock in the morning and has been
prosecuted by many others, and he is
willing to hold his peace. DR.. Det-
wiler said there is probably nothing
more harmful to the church short OF
downright yiciousness than lack OF
kindly courteousness on the part OF
those claiming to be disciples OF
Christ.

Atlanta, Aug. 23.-Almost complete

cratic primary indicated the nomina-

by a popular vote of one hundred
thousand, and the largest majority in

TIES UP SALARY
WINS A GROOM
Board Bill Action Results in
the Patching Up Of Old
Sores

ST. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 13.-Justice
of the Peace Johnson, acting in the
role Of Cupid yesterday converted a
garnishee suit into a prospective mar
riage.
Some time ago A. KRISTEN came to
st. Paul from Burleigh. N. D.. got a
job as baker with the st. Paul Bread
company, and began boarding with
Mrs. Margaret Schmitt, II widow. Kir-
stein proved such q nice baker that he
won the heart of his landlady, with
the result that October IA last kir-
stein took out a marriage license,
naming Mrs. Schmitt as his bride.
Unfortunately. they %quarreled be-
fore they reached the parson, the
marriage was called off, and KRISTEN
went to board elsewhere. Mrs. Schmitt
stood pat until she learned that Kir-
stein was becoming cnamorcd of an
other woman Then she decided that
if she could not have him for a hus-
band she at least would have what
was coming to her for having boarded
him.
Mrs. Schmitt began suit against
KRISTEN for a $72 board bill and gar
nisheed his wages. 1t looked like the
vengeance of a ona scorned, but
when the former lovers came under
the influence of Cupid" johnson the
quarrel was patched up. Mrs. Schmitt
agreed to dismiss her suit for board
money and KRISTEN agreed hat his
marriage to Mrs. Schmitt will be cele-
brated May /.
They will use the marriage license
KRISTEN secured before the quarrel.
