MEETING OF NUzUM MANAGERS
Yard Men of Extensive Lumber Sys-
TEN Meet and Talk Shop

At the annual meeting of its man.
ayers held here last week. the Nu-
yum Lumber Company announced its
guarantee of lumber prices based con-
siderably below the present wholesale
market. This guarantee will last
through all the period of heavy spring
buying at least until June LIST, 1920.
1t amounts to a price reduction rang
ing from $500 to $500 below the fig
ures at which much lumber has been
sold by wholesalers during the past
few months.
Believing that speculative demand,
together with unfavorable transpor-
tation conditions, has forced prices
beyond a justifable figure, this COM
pany expects to do its full share in
stopping the, upward trend and estab-
fishing lumber values at a more rea-
sonable level. Sales will be made at
these prices absolutely on the cash
basis plan which has been used very
successfully since it was first put in
to effect over a year ago. Shortage
of material will make it impossible to
supply every demand. There will be
several very serious shortages-espe
cially of cement. On the other hand,
it is hoped that the shortage of lath
viii be very much relieved by the mid
die of the year. The whole lumber
situation was discussed by w. E. NJ
yum of Madison. The Curtis Service
Bureau on home building was explain
ed by Mr.. Matson of Wausau.
Those attending were Mr.. George
Ward, yard manager at Steuben; Chris
Reed of Gays Mills; C. W. Taylor OF
Soldiers Grove;Sam Jerman of Reads
town; Henry Cliff of Viola; and Tom
Patten and Byron Muller of LaFarge

Flown Scandals" A Real Live
 Grille Show

Singing, dancing, pretty girls, gorgeous costumes and beautiful scenery are the outstanding features of the Town Scandals playing this week end at the Park theatre.
 The principals and the chorus equally participate in making the singing a success although Corinne (Snappy) Shutta the versatile come dienne is by far the best dancer in the show. Miss Helen Hudson, the soubrette, and Ola Hudson, the in genue, are close seconds to Miss Shutta in this lin. In her song and eccentric dance Sweet Mamma" Miss Shutta was recalled six times last night.
 Charles Eagan and Norman Han1ey ably assist George A. Clark, the pre- mier comedian in his work. MT. Clark made the greatest hit of the evening when he presented his Scotch speciality. Appearing in a Highland costume, he pleasingly rendered .''Roamin' Through the Gloamin','' and ''I Love a LaSsie'' with limitations of the well-1oved Harry Lauder. : There are especially fine settings. Probably the best is the scene en- titled Winter in Alaska The cast and chorus appear in white fur-trin- med suits and make merry while the snow is falling and the midnight sun dtmly il1uminates the sky. During this act the Hudson sisters present a Cossack dance, called 'AThe Alaska Hoop La.''
 There are many pretty ladies in the are. more so than others. The talent of the members is shown when Miss Bess Marshall and Miss Louise Soth- ern present special numbers.

Washington, D. C.. Dec. 23.-The Right Rev. Thomas J. Shahan, rector of the Catholic University, has issued the following statement on the burn ing of the town of Cork:
 The burning of Cork surpasses in grim horror and fierce injustice the crime of Louvain. The little aca- denaic city of the Belgians was given over to arson and pillage in the name of the German Empire, and under direction of the German military forces, whereupon England reused the entire world with her passionate denunciation of the crime of the ages. Now she has herself commit ted super-crime not in the name of any authorized government agency, but in the name, spirit and principle of anarchy Maliciously the English Parliament squints at it's own agents, clothed by it with omnipotence and responsibility, and encourages Bol- shevist practices that tomorrow will ary interest, in as far as as the loot of London surpaSseS that of Cork. and the red-eyed rage of it's dumb masses can work out in deeds of hor- TOT that will make the ashes of Cork look like a playground.
 If this be the liberty that the Eng fish government would force upon Ireland, who can blame the immense majority of the Irish people for re- jecting 1t, backs to the wall? Better a thousand times to die by the bullets of English anarchy in defence of true liberty than to yield to poltroon, ab- iect compliance with the dictates of a drunken police, gathered in the scums of London, petted like hired gladia- tors and turned loose upon a great religious and peaceful nation to which for over a thousand years all western mankind is debtor beyond calculation or payment, and whose affectionate children are scattered the world over, wherever English accents are heard.
 When will this berserker orgy of the English Coalition Parliament cease? Masked /by the man of ''nimb ble pol itics'' but covering beneath the whip of Carson and a small trump of dis credited and disintegrating Irish Protestants in a corner of Ulster, dis avowed by their fellow Unionists of the south of Ireland, if was described recently by MT.

and order of conquest, but still pro claimed and enforced, fierce and bloody as were it's rules. and inhu- man as were its sanctions.
 But in Cork wild-eyed anarchy wearing the insignia of English au- thority, it's agents encouraged and abetted by the English Parliament, though unnamed and irresponsible, waves the torch, pours the oil, casts the bomb, cuts the fire-hose, shoots up the peaceful and unarned city, and retires to it's lorries and it's bar racks, waiting another black night to repeat this Sathna1ia of murder and arson and loot. All this in the name of the law and order of England, all in the name of it's sinister liberty but really in the name of Cromwell and 1reton who walk the earth again, and cheerfu!Iy recognize their own craft, much bettered by the gains of mod ern science. Was it for this evil pass that we granted relief to England in the matter of the interest on her great war debt to us, that she might support an army of occupation in Ireland, and pay ridiculously thou sands of English convictS to burn and pll1age a sister nation that asks only it's natural and rightfuI liberty? This last English crime is against civi1iza- ton, and far surpasses the horror of Louvain. Shall we be dumb specta- every honest heart in England de- nounces? Once Prince Albert said that the only solution of the Irish question was to sink the island for one-ha1f hour beneath the sea, that it's human vernin might be exter- minated. Lloyd George knows some thing better; it shall be made a red cinder.
 Let all America rise as one man to denounce this unspeakable crime, which is directly aimed at ourselves, for if anarchy can reign supreme in Ireland, by what logic can we re- press anarchy in New York or Seat tie?
