LUMBER IS NOT HIGH
Comparative Figures, Lumber with
Farm Produce, Show That Now Is
The Best Building Time For
Farmers in Years.

The time to build is right now!
An equal amount of farm produce
will buy twice as much lumber today
as it would two or three years ago.
and more than it would have bought
during the past five, ten or even fif-
teen years.
There is 4 mistaken impression that
lumber is high. The facts below prove
it is not. The farmer will never find
a better time to build than the pres
ent What brought him S1.00 in 1914
now brings him $500 or $3.50. In
other words, the same products now
buy from two to two and one7half
times as much as they did then
In 1914 one bushel Of wheat would
buy three pieces of lumber 2x4-16.
This fall one bushel of wheat will
buy SEVEN PIECES of 2x4-16.
Or, if you plan to build gambrel
roof barn 32x56 feet with 14-foot shed
along one side:
In 1914 it took 40 hogs to pay for
this barn, while at the present time 1t
requires only "a!
There never was better time to
buy lumber than the present.

our Manchester folks what reasons we
had for being thankful this year and
all said ooh, so much!" Here are
some of the reasons:
/. Farmers had good crops"
2. Merchants enjoy a thriving
business"
8. I'VE have good churches, good
schools"
4. 1--WE have splendid teachers
5. 1--WE have grand and good pas
tors of our churches for leaders"
6. well I am thankful the war
isn't over here.
7. I'm glad the war isn't in Man
chester"
8. Manchester is a good place to
live in"
8. eve have good people living in
Manchester"
TO- "And we can be so thankful
that among these people there lives
true, tried and lasting friendship.
No matter what barriers beset our
pathway this friendship of our peo-
pie, our city, our city's government
will not be married. But we must
fight for clean city. A city that has
clean streets, especially Franklin and
Main. For this we must work, fight
and pray and when We have accomp-
lished that, Manchester can be glad
for clean streets.
But at the present time and for the
past many months Manchester folks
ought not to say they are thankful
for a clean city. But. however, this
is only barrier in our everyday life.
To live the most thankful lives we
should never swerve from the path
of loyalty, duty, service and love.
These words are the key words to
a successful, thankful life and the
folks who possess those key words are
our own dear Manchester folks.

MASS MEETING IN OPERA HOUSE

A mass meeting under the auspices
of the Manchester Commercial club
will be held in the opera house on
Sunday evening, Dec. &c. beginning at
1880 The object of the meeting is to
consider the Armenian situation. Over
million of the Armenians, men, wO-
men and children, lost their lives in
the massacres two years ago; the
remainder are now scattered and
homeless. Over two millions are now
facing starvation. Their homes have
been destroyed, their property con-
fiscated, and they are now refugees
in Russia, Egypt, Palestine and else
where. Among these are over 100000
orphans, who have absolutely no one
to care for them. $4,000 children, too
young to care for themselves, are now
starving in Syria and Lebanon alone.
President Wilson has issued call to
the American people to come to the
rescue.
The program at this meeting will
be the following:
Hymn, America.
Scripture reading and prayer, Rev.
Macdonald.
Solo, Mrs. Eugene Williams.
Address, who are the Armenian
People?' Rev. Hudson.
Address, What the Armenians have
Suffered" Hon. A. NJ. Cloud.
Solo, Mr.. Cal Martin
| Address, THE Remnant That Re-
mains" Rev. Montgomery.
Address. 1.-The Present Need" Dr..
H. A. Dittmer.
Freewill Christmas Offering by the
people of Manchester for the Armenian
relief work.
Closing hymn.
Benediction, Rev. Mrs. Naley.
The Presbyterian orchestra will
lead the singing.

w. G., T. U. NOTES,

The meeting at the home Of Mrs. H.
c. Haeberle last week Friday after
noon was we'll attended. The program
prepared by Miss Wells was spiced
with interest and thoughtful atten-
ton. Mrs. Phenicie spoke of the
Boys" and their part in Thanksgiv-
ing. She read an article from the
Cedar Rapids Gazette which says
white Ribboners look after Physical
and Spiritual Welfare of Enlisted
Men,"
"In it's varied scope of work among
soldiers and sailors. Through its
channels great service has been rem
dered to our country's defenders and
the patriotism of this organization
demonstrated.
"By the efforts of the W. C. T. U.
the canteen was abolished from the
army The increase of food rations
was obtained and the appropriation
for recreation centers. The other
heart of this greatest of all organiza-
lions in the world has been concerned
for the physical as we'll as the spirit
ual welfare of the boys, urging better
food and their recreation needs sup
piled. At many army posts the work
is so appreciated that there are local
Christian Temperance Unions direC--
ly cooperating with the National w.
C. T. U.
The border hospitals were equip
ped with "a electric fans; fruit, fruit
juices, ice. ice cream, and other deli
cacies were supplied to the sick and
cOnvalescent. Fly swatters and fans
were supplied in lots of 5000 to the
men on duty. The Y. NJ. G. A. hutS
were tloOred, and not the least ser
vice rendered was the gift of an auto
| to the Rev. Chaplain Arson who IS
lame. This was a personal gift of
Mrs. Ella H. Thatcher, Washington,
D. c., the national superintendent of
this department. Comfort bags were
originated by the W. c. T. U. and sup
piled to the army and navy by thou
sands. Hundreds of French and Bel
gian orphans have been adopted. The
greatest work naturally is for nation
wide prohibition, not only by consti-
tutional amendment but immediate
prohibition as a war emergency.
The Rev. Mrs. Naly in her patriotic
talk Thanksgiving and the Home
Folks" most earnestly petitioned the
prayers from the thankful and the
thoughtful loving hearts Of the home
folks for our boys at the Front and
for the mothers and fathers of OUT
land to be glad that they had '"r
to give for our country's need She
