 For the return trip from San Fran cisco a system has been worked out whereby the visitors can buy East bound tickets within 36 hours after the convention opens, the tickets to call for return passage eight hours after the convention closes. The big gest problem in convention transpor- tation has always been the return trip, as the day and hour for the close is always uncertain.

MORE INTEREST
 IN EGG CONTEST

Interest in the Home Egg Laying Contest, open to all Connecticut focks, is becoming intense. Reports on February egg records, which have just been compiled. show that 26S farms with total of 43, 447 birds are now entered in the egg laying race. The state average for these birds was 9.4 eggs during the month.
 J. H. Cook of Westbrook heads the list with a flock of 30 bullets that re- turned an average of 20.7 eggs during the month. The standard bullet pro duction for February is 13 eggs per bird but bullets entered in the con test fell below this figure with a state average of but 11-2 eggs per bird.
 Following is a summary of the con- test for February:
 Best flock of bullets, 50 or more: First, Mrs. F. J. HiIlbrand, Forest vile, 75 birds, average per bird 20.5 eggs; second, J. L. Beaum ont, Rocky Hill, 80 birds, average Der bird 1S.7 eggs.

rock? If so. how long will they remain there? And what is the prospective ef- feet of the present situation in the lum- Der market on building activities?
 The following survey, made on data ob- tained. from authoritive sources in the wholesale lumber trade in Birmingham. may be helpful in answering the forego- ing questions:
 Wholesale prices have recently slumped severely result of the cutting off Of the heavy demand by embargoes and the halt in building operations caused by the readjustment of financial operations.
 The recession amounts to as much as A0 the thousand feet on items which T heavy demand carried to the extreme point, with an average of perhaps s20 to S25 on all items.

Shannon & Co.'s Letter

New York, June 19.-The market has turned aside today from poor trade ad- vices and has been under the influence of an unfavorable view of the weather. which local map readers say is likely to remain cool and showery for over the weekend at any rate. This view was confirmed by the official forecast. Just how large the short interest is cannot be sttaed, but many think it grew to rather large proportions during the de- cline of 21z cents, and that only a little covering has been done so far. If the week should begin badly it is said .
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-06-20

genuine covering movement may start. i
 Other bullish factors were the advance in the price of silver in London and the bullish statistics for the week. 1t is expected that statistics will lncreas- ingly favor the bulls from now on. Whatever may be the fate of the pres ent advance the short position looks risky to us.-Post & Flagg.

normal output being about the best the mills are able to do; on the other hand. the latent demand is far from supplied The present wholesale price average will yield a very narrow margin for these times, for any mill, and those mills whose costs run high will hardly be warranted in converting very much stumpage into lumber at the going prices
 SHORTAGE OF HOMES Statistics show the shortage of homes throughout the country to be anywhere from 2,250,000 to 3,60o.0O0. The railroaos, if they continue operation, will be forced to buy great deal of lumber for cars. ties, bridges and other structures. The best informed lumbermen feel that the market is very close to bottom, if not already there, and that under the con- ditions mentioned a reaction is bound to come. thousand feet of lumber will now buy far less of any commodity than it ever did in the past. It is claimed that if all other building ma terials and labor had been reduced to the same basis the high cost of living" fac- tor would have disappeared completely from the calculation of building costs Labor cost is by far the biggest factor in the producing cost of lumber, and with foodstuffs probably going higher, there is apparently no hope Of wages pelnS reduced
 Close observers of the situation peileve that the building programme will be resumed in the late summer or early fall, and that with the revival of de- mand the lumber price curve will cer- tainly swing strongly upward again.
 The present situation apparently offers to retail distributors and consumers Of lumber the same opportunity they en- joyed in February, 19l9
 It is in the cards that heavy ln- crease in freight rates is coming and this with the embargo situation and car shortage will probably lead con servative retailers to begin placing or ders within the near future.

VIEWS OF RETAIL MEN

 Prices of lumber in the Birmingham market have dropped from 20 to 30 per cent.
 Right now is the time to build, is the opinion of the retail lumber dealers of Birmingham. A review of the pres- ent prevailing prices of lumber sho" that it is cheaper than at any time during the past two years.
 J. G. Mccormick of the Mccormick Lumber Company says that anyone thinking of building in the near future should by all means buy their lumber now.
 Many things added together have caused the decline in the price of lum- ber." says MT. Mccormick. But the most serious of all is the congestion of freight cars in the north.
 "One man I know in the city has twelve carloads of orders sold, yet he has been unable to get single freight car during the past week.
 Say, for instance, lumber dealer loads car with lumber consigned for some place in New York. The car may reach it's destination in the course of months time. But more likely 1t will be held up in freight yard somewhere for couple of months and then de- 1ivered to the party who bought the shipment. but who is almost in the frame of mind by the time the shipment arrives to send it back.
 Railroad congestion more than any thing else I think, has caused an over supply of lumber in the yards in Bir- mingham. People in other sections Of the country are not going to start building when it may take from one and half to three months for the ship ment of lumber to be delivered.
 No. flooring that sixty days ago sold for $52, is now selling for S35 the thousand feet. An extra good grade of flooring that several months ago sold for s75 is now being sold for s35 a thousand feet.
 'In all other grades of lumber the decline has been practically the same. Everything that goes into the building of a home in the line of lumber has decreased in price so much that every one should jump at the chance to build, for another opportunity like the pres ent one may not come again for a long time."
 MAY REMAIN SIXTY DAYS
 k. A. Walker of the Estes Lumber Company is of the opinion that the present decline in the price of lumbe- will remain the same for the next thirty or sixty days.
 However, the present prevailing price is not permanent" says Mfr. Walker. AS soon as the farmers in this section sell their crops they are going to buy lumber for new buildings, and begin the mending of their houses and barns and then more than likely the price of lumber will jump back to it's old price again
 Anyway it is an excellent time for the people of Birmingham to build.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-06-20

manufacturers neither expect nor desire to see wholesale prices go back again to the former high level brought about by 150 per cent demand coming on top of 75 per cent production.
 The cost of building, so far as lum- Der Is concerned, is expected 10 stao- ilize on basis that no one can quar- rel with. Retailers prices may be ex- pected to reflect the decline in the whole sale market by the latter part of the current month. and those interested in the building of homes from any stand point are anticipating an early renewal of activities along those lines.
 It Is, also pointed out that adVices | from Kansas City and Philadelphia, two great lumber centers. are practically in line with this local survey

Irwin. DR.. Trimble was equipped for
being pastor as well as preacher. lie
was outspoten against what he con-
sldered wrong, no matter how II might
affect his popularity, and on one occa-
sion created somewhat OF a sensation
by denouncing Sarah Bernhardt while
she was on the ocean bound for this
country, saying that, great woman
though she was, her influence, her rep
utation and her social status were such
that she ought not TO be favorably re-
ceived In this country.
In his private walk and conversation
he was n man OF much moral courage
and did not shrink from utterlng un-
pleasant truths TO people. even menu
bers OF his church, when he felt that
they ought to be spoken. He was be-
yond most men, even preachers, II ~
believed. a man with the courage OF MS
convictions. To those he did not like
or OF whom he could not approve, he
was tolerant; TO those whom he did
specially like he was most devoted
friend. He was more than devoted
friend; he was advocate, champion, and
always wanted generally found. oppor-
tunities TO render them material serv-
ices.
A notable instance OF this which many
readers OF The News will recall was his
friendship for DR.. A. M Carey, He
was a worthy young physician. who
had started practice here without much
and nothing special to
give him prestige. DR.. Trimble became
acquainted with him, found him worthy
and competent, as he believed, and SO
devoted himself to his material inter-,
ests that he not only built UP q good
practice here, but was appointed med
Zeal missionary to Siam, which was
great opportunity TO n man like him.
DIR. Trimble was not a magnetic man
and did not try to be. He was not the
kind OF clergyman to arouse great pop
ular enthusiasm, and he did not wish
to be. He was a man OF God, with
high and holy mission among men,
which he performed with a most self
exacting fidelity and he won the good
opinion OF all men who regard the good
and the true, even those who did not
specially like him personally. He took
genuine interest In civic AFFAIRS. as
well as our spiritual, and more than
one product OF his pen, In published
lprm, may testify to this. He was an
able writer, as well as logical and
preacher.
