eagerness, however, Meyer let the oar
go through the thole pins and u dr'ft-
ed away.
With Coombe swaying from side 20

shell pulled themselves together and
set of after the Columbia boat. !, was
a hopeless chase, and Columbia, pad
ding along, swept across the line -!one.
The time was 10:481. Tsle's unoff-
cisl time was ll:20.
The Yale crew rowed out the last
stroke and then Coombe was lifted out
of the shell, into the referees boat,
wrapped ~ an overcoat, ard hastened
70 the boathouse. He was deathly pale
and 40 i'll from the blow in the stop
ach that physician was called. in
the warmth Of the boathouse he recov-
cred rapidly.
Jim Rice had little to say Of the vic
tory, but il was apparent TO all That
the Columbia eight was in Ear better
physical trim than the Yale oarsInen
Columbia carried the fight 70 the Blue
with the crack Of the gun, and by
sprinting away disheartened the faie
crew from the start. Every man IN
the Columbia shell sat up at the emo
while Hartman at bow and Sturteyant
at No. S, In the Yale boat, were in bad
shape.
The Yale crew was not prepared for
the kind OF race Columbia rowed, and
Coombe, the weakest man in the chain,
gave out when the first test came:
That Columbia has one OF the finest
crew. Rice has ever turned out goes
without saying. Outweighed ten
pounds 20 the man, IL developed supe-
rior power and rowed in true midsea-
son form

Lumber Market Steadier;
More General Demand

More steadiness and a more general
demand has been shown in the South
Mississippi yellow pine lumber mar
ket during the last ten days, than for
several weeks, Hattiesburg mill men
today reported. Inquiry and demand
has improved from the North and the
West, especially around Pittsburg and
other Pennsylvania consuming points
This section has produced some good
orders.
Probably the most important an.
nouncement from the local field was
that made by the j. J. Newman Lum-
Der Company, that beginning tomor
row night, night forces will be en-
ployed for an indefinite period at the
local mills. The Newman Company,
as announced in The News on Satur-
day, has succeeded in getting boats in
which to ship large export orders
The first of these boats will anchor at
Gulfport in the next day or two. II
is expected that at least one ship a
month will land there thereafter, for
the Newman Company, They will
carry railroad material to Great Brit
ain for the use of the British railways.

For two days and nights he was forced

The Oyster Family,
All of Them, Are
DueHere TOMORROW
MH. AND MRS. BIVALVE AND THE
LITTLE BlVALVES ARE NOW
ON THEIR WAY.
WALTER JANTZEN.

Our old friends, Mr.. and Mrs. OYSTER
VINO went away on their summer vaca
ton the last day Of April, are coming
back to civilization tomorrow, and
when they land in Hattiesburg. they
certainly are going to get a welcome
reception.
The absence of four months of the
| oyster family hadn't been noticed verv
much until recenc weeks. But with the
first sting of the near-autumn weather,
Hattiesburgians had it brought to their
/ attention that there was something
wrong. After studying abit, they real
lied what it was.
SO when Mr.. and Mrs. Oyster appear
tomorrow, their greetings will be roy
ally extended. Hattiesburg commits
sion men and meat markets and gro
cerymen will begin getting their first
supplies of the succulent bivalves-
that's what you always call oysters
when you want to leave an impression
tomorrow. The first of the season.
however, will not be the best. 1t is a
little bit early yet for the best grade.
But during the next few weeks they'll
begin coming in in large quantities
and of excellent qualities.
With the opening of the oyster
season comes a publication issued by
the United States Government:
Oysters, the Food That Has Not
Gone Up is the title of the govern
ment's latest cook book, issued today
through the bureau of fisheries. 1t
contains 100 recipes for preparing the
bivalves, as well as a little of their
history, written by H. H. Moore, depu-
ty commissioner of fisheries.
AN animal food which practically
has not increased in cost for twenty
five years, and the production of which
has kept pace with the growth of pop
ulation,' Mr.. Moore says, sis a pres
ent-day anomaly worthy of public at
tention, especially when its price |
brings it within the reach of all and !
its excellence leaves little to be de-
sired. This is the case of the oyster"

ed. Every indication points to an
early advance in prices all along the
line. mill men feeling confident that
the situation is at last reacting to
their point of view. Some mills have
refused to take orders at prevailing
prices.
Prices as a whole seem to be how
ering around the same figures, but
specialists are commanding as good
figures as three years ago, with still
better increases reported during the
week. More steadiness in all direc-
tions is noticeable in prices in face OF
a fairly good demand and change
upward is expected in lists issued for
