LUMBER COMPETITION!

Be it ever so sharp, should be i'm fair play. We
sell lumber at the fair price found everywhere,
but we claim higher grades and greater variety /:

These are all Florida Cypress shingles and
mostly heart timber i'm them. Lumber yards as
well as trees are different and yet many people
cannot see the difference between our lumber
ward and others. 1t is only by visiting our yards
that you see the many differences of betterment.
AS to Cypress Paling and Pickets,
Square OctagOn pickets, No. 2, at 1-2c each
Flat curved-head palings, No. 2, at 2 Lee each
We are not under contract to boost anybOdy's

it to you to give you the best lumber when you
buy here and we'lI stick to that contract. We
are as particular about the quality of lumber as
YOU are and we two will get along very we'll to-
gether when YOU come in for that bill Of lumber,

PRIZE RING FATALITIES.

A Chicago youth, Frank Carbone,
died Sunday from the effects OF blow
received in q prize fight Thursday.
Luther McCarty died in eight minutes
after being struck over the heart IN
his fight with Arthur Pelkey at Cal
gary, Saturday. 1t will be quite the
fashion now for people to protest loud
II against prize fighting not only as
brutal, which In sense it Is, but also
"A dangerous of course 1t IT,
But the defenders of boxing will re-
tort that the prize ring numbers FEWER
victims than football-which is a kind
Of argument, but not conclusive. It
would be interesting to know the per-
centaxe of fatalities traceable to prize
fights, in proportion to the number OF
men taking part in the fights. and the
nercentage Of men killed in football
games In proportion to the whole num-
ber taking part in football games. 1t
probably would be found that the per-
centase would be so small that riding
on trains would seem to be foolhardy
in comparison.
The point is that no sport should be
condemned outright as result OF q
few isolated facts. There are not many
who VIII openly defend the prize ring,
as football is defended by great masses
OF the people, but it must be conceded
that there is something invigorating
n the clash Of contenders for boxing
honors that appeals to all men with
red blood in their veins. Davenport

MEMORIAL DAY.

The usual preparations are being
made for the annual observance OF
Memorial day. Funds are being raised
and plans are being laid. The day Is
one on which it is our duty and our
privilege to honor the living veterans
OF the civil war and remember the
dead. The ranks are getting thinner
with each succeeding day and every
time the assembly is blown fewer
answer, while taps has to be blown
more often as the days roll on. 1t is
well for the younger generations to re-
member that the time to do honor to
the preservers Of our union is while
they are living. They cannot be
,honored further, they can only be re-
mambered after they are dead. Put
aside everything else, then, for the
day, and make it Memorial day for
the dead and an Honor day for the
living
