IOWA LUMBER PRICES HIGH
Peculiar Situation Of State Should
Call for Competition and
owen Dricas

Although Iowa is very pecul-
iarly situated with reference to
the sources of timber and lumber
for ordinary building purposes,
and should logically enjoy the
comparatively low prices which
result from real competition, vet
present lumber prices in the state
indicate that the ultimate con-
sumner is moi being greatly bene-
fitted and that any advantage is
being largely absorbed by dis
tributors of the products. says
the forestry department at Iowa
State college.
Between $4,000 and $4,000 cars
of softwood lumber are used in
the state annually. Thirty four
per cent of this comes from nor
thern forests, 81 per cent from
western forests and 80 per cent
from the south AS Il result, com
lpetilion in the sale of lumber
should be keen and prices should
be very reasonable. Whether or
mot the consumer rcaps any bene-
! fill as a result of Iowa's unique
location in the lumber world de
ponds very much upon the atli-
tude of the retailers from whom
they buy That at present, the
consumer in Iowa is doing very
little rcaping, is the opinion of

graduate school at Harvard.
Fifty Of them, all bachelors, got to-
gether recently and, after considerable
discussion, agreed on the "girl that's
worth WHILE" Here's students ideal or
a real "marriageable girl:
She is attractive, graceful and
healthy, but not necessarily pretty.
She can dress tastefully and enter
tain any one and make him feel at
ease.
She can make bread as well as fudge
and cake as well as a rarebit.
Her dancing is not necessarily the
latest, her tennis is not necessarily
UP to the standard, but she is appre-
ciative Of the dance and of sports.
She is broad minded, sympathetic,
tactfuI. unselfsh, optimistic, thrifty,
of good disposition, and moderate in
all things.
She can stand reyerses without
worry.
She is gentle to children and kind
to older people, especially her parents
She has broad education, but not
necessarily a college one.
She is modest and true and home-
loving.
she has a good social standing. is Of
a religious nature. and is not too
proud to pray.

Toledo Blade: Once upon a time
there was in the world what was
known as the Milk of Human Kind
ness.
Stock markets, wars, labor troubles
food combines have transformed that
fluid into vinegar.
With the addition Of political rows
bad street car service, the high price
of coal and doctor bills the vinegar
has become sour indeed.
Along with the vinegar came Old
Man Crouch.
When he first gained recognition he
was called peculiar" Later he was
dubbed "disagreeable." When his &C
tivities reached the stage where he
bothered everybody he was labeled
nuisance"
The latter is his correct name.
He arrives at the Office each morn
ing, grunts, swings around in his
chair, and fires" at the first person
upon whom his evil glance rests
That person is the target for all the
disagreeability that has gathered in
his system overnight.
The victim squirms, angers, swears
to himself that he'll quit, goes into the
next room. He PAGES the floor. A
wife and children come into his mind.
His pace is faster. He fights to con-
troll himself. He declares he'll be
avenged If 1t takes ten years.
An hour later. He is more calm. But
"a deep crease is across his fore
head. He goes back to his desk. He
says nothing, goes about his tasks
doggedly. growls at every Interrupt
ton.
Another Old Man Crouch has been
born.
The answer? There is no answer.
