LUMBER MARKET
SHOWS IMPROVEMENT

Despite the fact that uncertainty
as to the betterment of the building
labor situation continues in some
sections, building as a whole con-
tinues to show progress says the
American Lumberman, of Chicago.
The most pronounced activity is
to be found in the construction of
small houses, and retail lumbermen
are selling very respectable volume
Of lumber for this purpose. In fact,
in number of cases the actual num-
Der of feet of! lumber sold this year
exceeds that sold during 1920. For
example, in one of the largest Ohio
cities, where a careful record was
kept, it was found that during March
the number of feet of lumber sold
was approximately twice the number
of feet sold during the corresponding
week of 1920, but that for 1921 the
total in money realized was only
slightly greater than for the much
smaller amount sold during 1920.
This stresses the size of the reduc-
tons in the retail prices of lumber,
reductions which, of course, were
first reflected in similar reductions
in the wholesale prices.
Production of lumber continues
upon scant basis in all manufacture
ing regions. The majority of orders
placed are for rush shipment and
show that buyers are not anticipating
their requirements, but, because of
good transportation conditions, feel
that they are justified in expecting
to get their orders through from the
sawmills promptly and thus patch up
stocks which are becoming rather
badly broken in many cases. Prices
have not shown any appreciable
change in trend, though the market
does show a somewhat firmer under
lying tendency.

STRANGER SLEEPS IN OTHER

If you are loving wife, and if

husband right in your bedroom, in
fact, right in the other one of your
twin beds, what would you do?
That's exactly what happened to
Mrs. Harry Hawkins and she expect

Mr.. Hawkins had gone out early in

out a sign of anything amiss. Imag-

"HOUSE OF RIMMON"
BY Y. w. SATURDAY

That cit is a great privilege to see
a great play" is the concensus of
opinion and the first that of many
when told that 'sThe House of Rim
mon," by Henry Van Dyke, will be
produced at the Garden Theater on
Saturday, April IS, at 8p m.
So much time and careful atten-
ton to detail have been spent on
preparation for this beautiful drama
that its production cannot fail to be
the success that the very name of the
author might imply.
At the dress rehearsal held on
Monday night, the elaborate costumes
which had just arrived from New
Orleans won the enthusiastic admir-
alton of the entire cast and the prin-
cipals scarcely recognized themselves
after donning their glorious raiment.
Seeing them thus attired, the audi
ence will have no difficulty in for
getting today and its veneer of mod
eTnism and going back in fancy to
that period $50 years before Christ
to live and love, mourn and laugh
with the people of Damascus in Syria.
From the moment the first curtain
rises on the scene in the palace gar
den, where mystic music and elusive
moonlight quicken the imagination,
interest will be intense. For there ia
shadoWy silence a dark plot is Matched
by a priest and a woman against
Naaman, noblest man in Damascus,
the kings favorite and the woman's
husband.
We will remember that seIfishness.
avarice, greed, hypocrisy and covet-
BUSINESS are as old as Adam and have
not changed during 5000 years. But
every cloud has its silver lining and
even though ugly human traits are
old, so are lovely ones. Therefore,
love, service and sublime self-sacri-
flee soften and beautify the play
through the devotion of Ruahmah, a
little Hebrew slaves, who finds a way
to save her master from the tangled
web that ensnares him.
Just how she does it and the uIti-
mate result of her devotion and 10y
atty form the basis Of a story that
thrills, enthralls and holds the inter-
est from beginning to end.
The cast includes Miss Esther Jar
Wis, Ed Adams, Miss Bessie COlomb,
Harold Bemller, Synicus Tisdale,
Howard Maury and Joseph Black
well.
With >seventy-five persons in the
cast, it is impossible to mention all
here, but the lesser parts are being
as ably handled as the principal ones,
by favorites of Bogal1sa,
