Although Tim and Pat were known to be great friends, it was remarked that one morning they passed each other on the street without speaking.
 "Why, Tim," queried a friend in astonishment, "have you and Pat quarreled?"
 Faith, we have not" replied Tim, earnestly.

SOUTH MADE DOMINANT
 IN BUILDING INDUSTRY Nation Wide Building Era Gives I'm petus to Southern Mills-Oil Der
 ricks Use Much Timber.
(By United Press.)

Birmingham, Ala, April 29.-The lumber industry, stimulated by na- tion-wide construction boom, is con- 1 ing into it's own, and the South IS attaining a dominant position in the industry. In spite of adverse weath- CT conditions, car shortage, the labor situation and other retarding fac tors, lumbermen of this section anti cipate a heavy spring business.
 Because of the heavy snows and severe cold in the north, the yards of that section were unable until recent ly to move the lumber already on hand But stocks in the north are now be- ing depleted, and it is even feared locally that the demand will again exceed the supply, due to heavy rains in Alabama which have greatly hin- dered operations.
 The car shortage is considered eX- tremely serious in this industry, as we'll as in many others. The some conditions in the labor question that arises elsewhere also are factors here. The great demand for new buildings to solve the housing problem, coupled with the other cause referred to, has been responsible for making lumber prices high, but it is also serving to place the South very near the top among manufacturers.
 Lumber manufacturing has always ranked third among national indus tries, but today occupies an even more important position, and it's main acti- vities are in the South.
 The demand is universal, the south ern lumbermen being called upon to furnish lumber for rebuilding devast- ed France, as well as to supply the greater part of the nations needs. This IS not alone true of construction material, but hardwood for some of the largest furniture manufacturing companies in America now comes from the timbered lands of Alabama and other southern states.
 A part of the present heavy demand for lumber and timber is for derrick construction In the oil fields of Texas, according to lumbermen. One hun dred thousand derricks will eventual ly be built on proved lands, and it is estimated that 28,000 feet of lumber will be required for each derrick.
 At the present time the lumber in dustry of Alabama gives employ ment to 26,000 persons, or 32 per cent of the total number engaged in industry of all kinds; it pays 25 per cent of the total salaries and wages paid to indutsial employees; it's capi- tai amounts to II per cent of the total industrial capital employed in the state; it's annual products are worth $26,000,000, or IS per cent of the total value of all manufacturers, and this IS exceeded only by the value ot agricultural products.

HURT IS ACCUSED
 OF TWO MURDERS

Another chapter in the prosecution of James R. Huirt, arraigned at Los Angeles on 25 charges of bigamy, was written yesterday when the supreme court denied his application for wr.t of habeas corpus, filed to secure his release from custody. At the time of its filing, no complaint had been made against him, but the states attorney then filed formal complaint.
 According to a private dispa tch tc- day from the Memphis News Scimitar to the Log Cabin Democrat, Hurt is charged with bigamy in p instances and murder in two cases. The News Scimitar Is especially interested in discovering the name and address of the parents of Jack Hilton, ex-Arkan- sas convict and cotton man, who may be the California bigamist. His par ents are said to reside at Memphis but no trace of them has been uncov- cred
 Deputy Sheriff J. J. Hawkins at Little Rock, who arrested Hilton at Minden, La, in 1913, is positive that Huirt is not Hilton. He said Hilton had scars on his legs from gun shot wounds received, Hilton said, in bat tie with Mexican bandits, The Los Angeles bigamist shows no sears which would tally with those Hawkins says are on Hilton. No Bertillion measurements or photographs arc available at the Arkansas penitentia. ry for use in identifying Huirt.

 MT Gore of Pennington, Ark, gives Oklahoma the black eye. He would make people that didn't know any thing about Oklahoma believe it was twin sister to the desert of Sahara. It's true it was very dry in August of 1918, and the wind was rather warm for good crop growth. But taking all crops into consideration, I think they compare very we'll with the western half of Arkansas. Cattle do well, both beef and dairy There are advantages and disadvantages here the same as any other country have ever lived in and about the only way you can find them out is to try it out.
