equipped to take secretarial positions

Luther M. Ferguson, daughter-in-
law of DR.. John c., Ferguson, present

Mrs. Ferguson, graduate student

"There are many large concerns in
China who would be glad to have the
services of American girls with bust
ness training" Mrs. Ferguson said.
"Thcre are not enough girls in China,
that is, competent ones, to fill the
positions open.
"Thcrc is an opportunity for work
along various lines. American firms
doing commercial, medical, financial
and law business are all demanding
large sccrctarial forces. The young
woman will not find the hours any
longer than Yin business offices here
in America. And there is plenty of
recreation to be found in concerts,
dances, horseback riding and other
sports. There are also many art and

petuated in marble, "Devil Anse''
Hatfield, leader of a faction of the
famous Hatfield-McCoy feud, will
watch over the destinies Of his des-
cendants from the peak Of the noun
tain which separates the Big Sandy

Capt. Anderson Hatfield, called
"Devil Anse" because Of his relent-
less leadership in the most famous
feud of modern times, realized his
life's ambition when he died with
his boots on" in his home here in
January of last year.
The Hatfield-McCoy friction came
to an end thirty years before the
death of the stern old warrior, and
Hatfelds and McCoys rubbed elbows
at his funeral, uniting to pay hon.

The statue which shows "Devil
Anse" as he lived, with rough, home
spun clothes, cow-hide boots and
bristling beard, was carved in Italy
from designs furnished by an Amer
lean granite company.

LUMBER MARKET REPORT
SHOWS STEADY INCREASE
American Lumberman Calls
Softwood Market Better Il
Than Hardwood Market

= Continued evidence of consider
able increase in the volume of bust
ness is shown by the action of the
lumber market. In house building,
the grades which are first required
are the lower, and at the present
time these low grades of softwood
are the most active, and are selling
with the greatest freedom. The
wood Utmost active demand at this
time is southern pine and as might
be gathered from the above, the low
err grades are selling the easiest with
the result that here and there have
been slight price stiffenings. There
have been no general advances, how
ever, and the softwood lumber mar
ket so far this year has been on an
unusually stable basis.
Railroads are buying material with
greater freedom and are not only
building new cars but are rushing
the repairs of old ones. While there
is still a good-sized surplus of idle
cars taking the. country as whole,
nevertheless there are some sections
from which occasional complaint is
already heard of car shortage. This
in, way is encouraging, for it midi
Gates the general recovery Of bust
ness which has resulted in steady
increase in the volume of freight
moving. Other industrial consum-
ers are also taking increasing guam
titles of lumber. which indicates a
pickup in general business business.
For further example, the Grating
consumx may be cited. The demand
for GRAZ & lumber is, brisk and indi-

DEMOCRATS MAKE BIG
FIGHT TO WIN PENNSY
Political Campaigns This Year
Promise to Be Interesting
for Pennsylvania
BY DALE VAN EVERY

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Harrisburg, Pa, April 8 Omitted
Press)-The political campaign in
Pennsylvania this year promises to be
the most interesting in many years.
With an amazing rapidity, the strae-
gic positions of the two great parties
have been reversed. Instead of an
highly organized Republican party,
scornfully ignoring weak and divid-
ed Democratic minority, this campaign
finds a united Democratic party de-
termined to take advantage of Re-
publican lack of leadership.
The death of Vols Penrose threw
into disarray the we'll oiled Republic
can machine in Pennsylvania. In the
place of the overtowering figure who
controlled the destinies of the party,
there are now score of big and
little bosses who have as yet failed
to get together. The Republicans
are going into the primaries with a
multiplicity of elbowing candidates,
attacking one another with ammuni-
ton usually used against Democrat
is opponents.
On the other hand, the Democrats,
usually divided into bitterly warning
factions as a result of harmony con-
ference, have arranged complete
state ticket which has the declared
support of all wings of the party and
will therefore need to waste no effort
in pre- primary intra-party pickering.
At the election next November the
voters of Pennsylvania will elect two
United States Senators (the Success
ors to Knox and Penrose), congress-
men and a complete state ticket. Sit
ting in the Senate now the Republi-
cans have George Wharton Pepper
in the sell of Penrose and William E.
Crow in the seat of Knox. It is evil
dence of Republican lack of unity
that no decision has yet been reached
concerning how the two senatorships
may be preserved from Democratic
clutches.
Crow has been sick in hospital for
months, but persistentiy refuses to
