Begin Here Today

Begin Here IOuay
The lure of the Flaming Jewel,
that priceless gem stolen from the
royal jewel casket of the
COUNTESS OF ESTHONIA, was
drawing a group of clashing and
violent spirits to the "helis kitch-
en-" of the A~dirondacks. the dis
reputable "hotel" owned by
MIKE CLINCH.
Here Clinch lived a life of crime
surrounded by the riff-raff of the
north. The only good influence
over him was his beautiful step
daughter,
EVE STRAYER. To give her the
education of a lady was the sole
passion of Clinch and to do that
he would stop at nothing. There
arrived at his hotel
JAMES DARRAGH. known to Clinch
as
HAL SMITH, who has sworn to re-
store the Flaming Jewel % the
countess. from whom it had been
stolen by
QUINTANA. the great international
2 thief.

THURSDAY

In "The Girl from Gods Country, "
Nell Shipman's latest production, Miss
Shipman portrays a dual role, that of
Marion Carslake, daughter of a million
aire, and Neeka, the girl from the North
Woods. Those who worked with Miss
Shipman in this production say that she
was so much the part of her characters
that if she were playing Marion they
never dared address her except az Miss
Shipman; while on the other hand, when
she was Neeka, she was always Neeka or
Nell 1t is quite evident that she loves
the character of Neeka as much as she
says she does when one sees her interpre-
tation of the character.

LUMBER OUTPUT
HOLDS Up WELL
Manufacturers Association Re-
ports Conditions Divergent,
However.

While telegraphiC reports to the
National Lumber Manufacturers
Association from eight of its regional
SoftwoOd associations for the week
ending October 2S MITIGATE that the
lumber industry is holding up we'll,
they also show great Emergencies of
conditions in different sections. On
the whole, production continues at
virtually peak capacity. and. while
much greater than shipments and
orders, the last named factors are
no longer declining relatively to the
first
1t is true that the reports show
an absolute reduction of about H.
900, 900 feet in production. of 10000
900 feet in shipments and 5000 900
in orders from the preceding week,
but the number of reporting mills
fell last week to 39I from 434-the
high number of the year-reported
the week before. Lumber production
is holding up well above the average
of recent years, and shipments and
orders show a proportionate in.
crease. In Southern pine territory
the worst of the car shortage diff.
ficulty seems to be over. Shipments
are getting larger.
In Transportation "Pinch"
On the other hand, the California.
Oregon and Washington mills seem
now to be in the worst transpOrta-
ton pinch they have had for a long
time. Shipments in that region are
falling off, despite increased pro.
duction ana some mills actually re.
port that cars delivered to them are
only 10 per cent of their require
ments. In the middle northern reg
ions-in the whitepine and hemlock
territory-the statistics indicate
easy transportation conditions, ais
shipments are as much as so per
cent greater than production.
Stated relatively, shipments and
orders for the right associations
were each rs per cent of production
for the past week. OF the 394 mills
reporting 363 belong to the five as
sociations that have n normal pro-
duction figure for the week, which
is 235,956.767 feet. Actual produc.
ton for them was 9S per cent, ship
ments 70 per cent. and orders 73 per
cent of this figure.
For October. four weeks, produc.
ton was 994,62S,94S feet by the re-
porting mills, as compared with
725,065.030 in October, 1920, and

TRADE VOLUME

REPORT SHOWS
Even Farmers Are Buying
More, Bradstreet's An
nounces, Giving Data.
By Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, Nov. i.-liradstreet's =
Weekly Business Review today says;
Wholesale and jobbing lines re-
port trade maintained AT fair to
good volume, with textiles ana wear
ing apparel lines leading. There Is
more optimism as To trade for winter
and early spring, but recurrence OF
warm weather is widely reported az
causing retail buying To lag IA httle
behind primary distribution.
"As to the effects OF recent ad'
vances in cotton goods, while rather
more quiet is noted at primary mar
kets, the weight of opinion Is that
expectation of advances is a stlmu'
liant rather than drawback, al
though the possible final action Of
the retail buyer is still subject OF
discussion.
Fast Pace by Industry.
Industry, though variable. still
keeIS up at pretty fast pace. ana
employment seems more widely an
fused than for over two years past
Collections still tend TO lag, although
shade better than in recent weeks,
fnadstreets Weekly Food Index is
slightly lower. but increases exceed
decreases i'm commodities as whole.
Developments Of the week as re-
CARDS the much-discussed buying IN
agricultural sections have been main
ly favorable to the idea of growth
in trade in this direction.
Cotton is strong at the highest
prices of the year after 4 cent ad'
vance in October, accompanying q
very general rise in cotton goods.
II mail order trade in October is
to be taken as guide to agficul'
tural buying, the gain OF 81 PER
cent. over September and of ~ per
cent. over October a year ago Is
certainly encouraging.
Checked by Car Shortage.
The fact is that farmers have
done best in livestock, cattle lead
ing. and in corn and cotton, fairly
well in wheat. but poorly on oats,
potatoes. and fruit.
car shortages, preventing move
ment to wider markets, have done
widespread injury to farmers, not
ably in the northwest and on the
Pacific coast, and to coal and lun'
ber shippers. who have good de
mand but find delivery difficult.
High premiums for grain at the
seaboard. due to delayed movement,
are still noted Export trade in
general is slow to develop, anl IS
below a year ago in many lines"
