MOT ANOTHER
WINTER IN THIS
OLD HOUSE"

Said that several times,
haven't you? Your wife
think it lots of times when
you're not around. What
are you doing about it?
Some building materials
have begun to go up. Lum-
Der is mighty reasonable
yet. 1t isn't possible to
save any money by waiting.
The bankers consider a
good home a safe risk
from a financial, a moral
and a patriotic standpoint.
If you haven't all the
money in hand to pay for
what you want to build,
you will find it very easy
to borrow.
FOR several good reaS-
ons you shouldn't let anoth-
er winter catch you in that
old house.
You don't have to buy
plans, we have those and
will be glad to lend them
to you.
Then for a nice clean,
dry stock of lumber at fair
prices, ours is at your SER
vice. Every day you wait,
you lose money. Come in
and glance over our cheap

The saying The latchstring is OUT
signifies hospitality. 1t is a standing
invitation to visit the party who uses
it. In early, times throughout New
England and other parts of the coun-
try the houses were built of logs, and
the door fastenings were simply a
wooden latch on the inside of the door,
which fell into a notched stick In the
doorpost. The simple continuance was
owing to the fact that nails and iron
were hard to get On the inside the
latch was lifted by the hand easily, but
to lift 1t from the outside hole was
bored in the door, which was made Of
slabs, and a string passed through
which was fastened to the latch. By
pulling the string the latch was lifted
and the door opened. To lock the dooi
the string was drawn inside so that a
person on the outside could not use it.

{ STOCK MARKET

New York, Sept. 22-The stimulat-
ing force derived from yesterday S
confident absorption of the steels and
coppers was missing from the market
at the opening today. The German
and Austrian replies to the peace pro-
.posals of Pope Benedict were utilized
for a bear drive against the war
stocks. Steels, coppers and a few
other industrials were depressed
sharply, with numerous recessions of
1 to 2 points. The remainder of the
list held fairly steady. Railroad
shares moved narrowly, except for a
loss of 2 points in Canadian Pacific.
After a sharp dip today prices re-
sponded quickly to suggestions of a
substantial inquiry in the railroad sec
ton, especially for Reading and Union
Pacific. Indications of concerted
buying among various specialties gave
the shorts concern, and there was a
good deal of closing UP of contracts
over the weekend. Subsequently, a
drop of nearly five points in Bethle-
hem Steel caused renewal of profess
sional selling, with a resultant unset
Element of prices. The market clos
ed heavy. Total sales appropriated
$500 shares. Bonds were easy.
Liberty bonds again sold at a premium
the range being 100 to 1902.

Courtesy to the FLAG.

Civilians have all kinds of trouble
when visiting military camp, because
they invariably attempt to pass the
flag waving at regimental or brigade
headquarters without paying it any
more recognition than they would an
ice wagon or garbage can. But in
such places they are compelled to ex-
tend proper courtesy to the flag of
their country. There is always hawk
faced colonel roosting in the black
depths of his tent just behind the col
ors, and woe to the soldier on guard if
he let's civilian go past without sa-
luting.
When a civilian starts to pass the
colors without removing his hat the
sentry, knowing that the regimental
hawk is glaring baIefully at him,
swoops down on the surprised civilian
and sternly says. "Take of your hat
Women, Of course, cannot take of
their hats to the colors, but as they
pass the colors or the colors are car
ried by them. they can at least stop
talking and keep their eyes fastened on
