YELLOW PINE DEMAND
CONTINUING ACTIVE

WITH AN ADVANCING TEN
DENcY, DEALERS SAY.

The yellow pine market has held
firm during the past week, with
brisk demand. Prices are holding
steady and firm, with an advancing
tendency Weather conditions have
improved and many small interior
mills are again hauling lumber and
have resumed logging operations.
Many mills are operating both night
and day.
Lumbermen expect an early advance
in prices, because of the heavy de-
mand and the recent placing OF an
order for $4,000, 900 feet of yellow pine
for export, mostly to the allies. About
100 mills are participating in the or
der, which was placed largely with
Louisiana mills. The immensely OF this
one item, lumbermen believe, will al
feet the market favorably and may
bring about an advance on yellow pine
estimated at around 81 per thousand.

500 MOVIE STARS

FILM FOLK FLOCK TO NEW YORK
FOR YEARS BIG
BALL.

New York, Feb. 22.-Five hundred
stars of the moving picture armament
will twinkle at the monster movie
ball in Madison Square Garden to-
night.
They'll all be in costume, too; and
In the tiers upon tiers of seats that
mount simultaneously roofward will
be packed the fans whose sides have
ached and whose tears have welled as
one or the other of their beloved ia
vorites has played upon their emotions
to the tune of laundering orchestra
or an old ham-strung piano.
Mary Pickford and Charlie Chaplin,
Theda Bara and Raymond Hitchcock,
Mack Sennett and Sidney Drew, Betty
hansen and Clara Kimball Young and
just scores of others will be there.
They'll come from the big movie
cities on the Pacific coast by special
trains and they'll flock to New York
from every other part of the country
they happen to be in; and the fans
can just have the time of their lives
floating over them as they wander
around. ION the roof" instead of on
the screen.
Boys and girls, and men and women,
old and young, will have chance to
get a good Closeup and hear the
voices, and maybe-maybe say some
thing to the actor or actress they have
come to idolize at the rate of 10 cents
or 20 cents or $3.50 per idol. The
actors and actresses will dance and
sing and make speeches and eat and
dance and sing, and make some more
speeches until it's just finally wound
up as dazzling, frazzling, grand big
night.
Most OF the film folk are here al
ready and so are the visiting fans, but
others will arrive in the late after
noon and early evening trains. A com
bination of all the moving picture con
Germs in the country is to be thanked
for the idea of the movie ball.

This Correspondent Presents Some
Facts Concerning Road Building.

To the Editor Of The Republican.
VIII the State of Maryland meet the
State Of Pennsylvania at the State line
on the Young River with state road?
The State Of Pennsylvania will build
state road from Somerfeld, Pennsy-
lvania. to the State line three miles be-
low Selbysport to the State line Of
Pennsylvania.
This road is now graded from Hoyes
to Selbysport and from Selbysport to
the State line is only three miles and in
the two miles from Somerfeld and three
miles to Selbysport the road is almost
impossible and to get to Selbysport you
have to go from Somerfield to the State
line of Maryland and Pennsylvania then
through the Cove to Accident, then to
HOyes and down by the way of Friends
vile to Selbysport distance of over
% miles where it could be made in five
miles if this connecting link was made.
The road could be started at the
bridge at Selbysport and go straight
down the Yough River through the
Liston, Schlossnagle and Durham
properties, then follow the old road
through the Fike property to Guard s
bridge, then straight through the
Swalape property to the State line at
Watson ond connect with the Penn
sylvania road,
This piece of road would be of more
benefit to the people of the western
end of Garrett county than any road
that could be built and would increase
the valuation of the abutting proper
ties 100 per cent and the increase of
taxes would soon pay for same.
Just think of only five miles of road
to be opened and built that would save
a drive of twenty five miles around and
the time it would save 1t would put
Oakland twenty miles nearer to Pitts
burgh and Uniontown if it was opened.
The people of District No. 2 should
hold a citizens meeting at Sebysport
and invite the County Commissioners
and the State Commissioners to meet

and 90 over the short distance and
show what Improvement it would be to
the Western end Of Garrett county.
Wake up, citizens of District No ?,
and get together on Saturday, Septem-
Der 30th, and invite the Maryland and
Pennsylvania Commissioners to meet
Us on that date and 90 over this road
and build it as it is a benefit to the
citizens of both States.
The western end of Garrett county
pays big taxes and has not one foot of
State roads and why should she not
have them and can have them if her
people 90 after them and demand they
be recognized the same as the balance
of the county.

The Law of Retribution.

Reason and nature declares that the
law OF retribution destroys the hope of
the hypocrite and dessolutes and fur.
nishes no way Of escape for the con-
firmed sinner.
1t Civ no light to those addicted to
sin, though it may prevent the viz
tuous from lapsing into sin. 1t shows
no mercy, is no resDector Of persons, is
impartial in its operations, so that if We
are shut up to what it teaches and
nothing more, we are bound hand and
foot, helpless prisoners in the castle Of
giant desua 1t brushes hope, Is IN
relenting and remorseless as the grave
to those. who have sinned, though no
strictor than we could wish, il we were
sinless as angels and desired to be kept
from falling.
Where then can the promises of
Christ TO Publicans and sinners find a
place-the gospel He preached to
prisoners to downtrodden and outcasts.
and which He offered to all men to the
uttermost. Here we have stern law
with its unavoidable penalties, law
that is seen in life, felt in death and
follows US through eternity.
Does the gospel destroy this law? 1t
too has its law If under the gospel
you adhere to sin. you reap the conse-
quences and suffer the penalties. The
merciful Son of God inaugurated the
gospel dispensation, under which the
law is most stringently interetpred. 1t
is reaping in accord with the sowing.
There is hope of deliverance for the
worst if they repent and believe, so we
would go to the thief and the profigate,
the murderer and vile. to the bedside
where anguish, remorse and despair
are, and say, if you truly repent you
shall be saved.
( We would IN the name of the Master,
offer mercy to the chief of sinners, but
his repentance must be genuine. 1t is
I the law of retribution either modified
or abolished No, but the guilty sub
iect is changed in feeling, act and
character, and is thereby delivered
from further accumulation of its
penalties, by divine power, which is
put our nature.
Having turned from life of sin, he
is no more exposed to it's penalties.
What If retribution on the sins already
committed! Are they already arrested
upon remittance? Not at all. The poor
sufferer dying of disease, hears the
