Finishes at Stadium

New York, May. 22-The mechan-
ical eye of the motion picture cam
era will supplement and, If necessary,
override the decisions of judges of
the finishes at the intercollegiate
track and field championships to be
held May 80 and 81 at Harvard Sta
dunn.
The intercollegiate A. A. A. A. an
nounced today it had authorized a
film concern to take movies of track
events which would be regarded as
official and used to decide any con-
troversies arising from close finishes.
The innovation, which will be eff
fective for the first time in /. c. A. A.
"A. A. history, was authorized at the
associations annual meeting last
March. 1t was said to have arisen
in number of close results in the

Advised,

Folks who are going away for

is easy to neglect an important item
in this regard, and II home owners
will heed a timely warning on the
subject they will save themselves
from certain loss that is bound TO
come while the dry season of sum
mer is here"
In giving this advice to home own
ers, Hobbs IS rendering them serv-
ice that takes away his own profits,
because whenever a home owner
suffers any plant loss. he must re-
place dead plants with live ones, and
Mr.. Hobbs is in the business of sell
ing live plants. But this sort OF
service ia not unusual for the Hobbs
firm 10 render.

and an expert could plant them now
and make them grow, but the aver
age home owner who plants now, &C
cording TO Hobbs. would not get sat

postponement of planting until

tious season for starting peonies and

teriaI,

Although news has been published
about the lumber standardization
conference which has been meeting
in Washington, D. c., with Herbert
Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, 1t
is doubtful whether the general pub
lie has grasped the Importance OF
these conferences. Eldon Dynes,
president of the Dynes-Pohlman
Lumber Company. E. Twenty-Eighth
s.. and the Monon Railroad, calls
attention to the decision of the man
ufacturers Of lumber, whereby each
piece will be marked by the. grade.
"a recently invented device" said
Dynes. has proved successful in
marking grades by means of steel
dies and indelible ink. Unfortunate
ly, it has been the practice Of un-
scrupulous lumber dealers to sub
stitute lower grade of lumber for

booring, siding. etc, and on this is
printed the size of the stock and the
grade. The company makes it spe-
cial point in selling to a customer
to invite the purchaser to look at
the lumber he is buying before it
leaves the yard.
Lumber Dealers Benefited
by the new method Of marking
grades" continued Dynes, 'the con-
sumner gradually will become &C
quainted with the various grades
and their markings, and he will
know when he is receiving the
grades he is paving for The reputa-
BILE lumber dealer Will be benefited
as well as the customer. for the
reason that the dealer who delivers
the grade which he contracts to sell
will not have TO bid against the low
price made by the dealer who would
substitute a lower grade of lumber
from the one specified"

FOR LONELY
BACHELOR RANCHER

received a letter from a Mrs. Mary
Wells, 1890 West 7th street, st.
Paul, who likes ranch life and is
DESTROYS of coming to Montana. The
letter, which is very frank, may
prove the golden opportunity for
some middle aged bachelor who has
been looking for a wife, but hasn't
had the courage to propose to any
one. The letter reads:
ct am a woman Al years old, "a
widow I have a boy six years old.
I have been a horsewoman from
childhood, was raised on a ranch, but
have lived in st. Paul for 8 years.
But I long for the old ranch life
again, but am too poor to buy one. I
have two nice saddle ponies for my
boy and one for myself. I have a
hard time earning an honest living.
Is there any good man out there
who would appreciate a good woman?
They are as scarce as hens with
teeth here in the city. Please don't
think I am a silly love-sick woman.
I am just a plain everyday respec-
table sort of woman. I have blue
eyes, black hair and am 5 feet tall
and weigh 1913 pounds. If you know
any n you can refer me to, please
do So"
