Wilson Open
To Offers

MARTINSBURG, w. Va, Feb.
Hack Wilson, former major
league ball player and one-time
National League home run king,
is entering business here, he said
today, although it does not neces-
sarily mean he is through" with
baseball, he says.
Confirming reports he would be
a partner with Willard Wowurs-
burg, of Hagerstown, Md, in a
poolroom operation in the down
town section here, starting March
/, Wilson said his future connec-
ton with baseball would depend
upon what was offered. If he re.
turns to the field this season the
business will be operated by the
partner; If he does not, he will be
active in it himself.
Wilson has been idle as far as
baseball is concerned since cut
adrift by Albany during the 1885
season. He has been keeping in
physical trim by hunting and
some basketball this winter. He
resides here with Mrs. Wilson and
his son, Bobby.

BUILDING MOUNTS
IN ALL SECTIONS
Residences, DWELLINGS,
Apartments and Hotels
on Increase.

Building activity Is increasing in
every section Of the country, accord
Ing to current reports. spurred by a
score of factors that are inducements
to build. The recovery reported is
confined to residential building, to
small dwellings, apartments and
hotels.
So far builders have shown little
disposition to add to the Office space
Of the country. which shows they are
aware of the large amount of COM
mercial space which must be taken
OF the market before it will be profit
able to produce more Offices. There
are only tow scattered spots in the
country where Office building con-
struction is being carried forward.
Small House and Apartment.
The story of small house and
apartment building Is very different.
Throughout the country, either the
production Of new premises or the
modernization Of old quarters is in
progress.
Complaints have come from many
sections Of shortage of skilled build
ing mechanics to carry on the work
in prospect, which is serious sit
uation when it is considered that the
volume Of building reported is only
q small part of what the builders
OF the country will be called upon
TO produce in the next few years II
our growing population is to be housed
in adequate quarters.
Return Of Workers.
The demand for small houses and
apartments in urban and suburban
districts of large industrial centers
of the country is fostered by the re-
turn OF pay rolls of many workers,
who, finding themselves again eco
nomically secure, want new dwelling
places, some because of the irresisti-
BILE features of the new home, and
others that they may remove every
reminder of period in their lives
which they are eager to forget.
The urgent necessity Of banks to
put to work surplus funds is another
force back OF the steady increase in
national building recorded in the last
few months. This money must be
employed if thrifty people are to be
rewarded even with a limited return
on their money, and there are no
men who are more alive to this fact
fact than those whose duty it is to
invest these funds in fields which
will not jeopardize the money en-
trusted to them by millions of savers.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS. w
Va. June l0-"The practice of open
pricing is intended to serve two major
purposes" said Charles J. Brand in
an address before the annual conven-
ton of the National Fertilizer Associa-
ton of which he is executive secretary
treasurer.
The first purpose is to bring COM
petition into the open so that men,
bers Of an industry and the buying
public may have access to and reliable
information as to actual conditions in
the market instead of being compelled
to rely on rumors and on information
in many cases unreliable
The second purpose is to serve,
through the publicity involved, as an
important adjunct in the enforcement
of fair trade rules as, for instance. in
the prevention of secret rebates, un-
lawful price determinations, and sales
below cost and commercial bribery
The plan which we would like to
follow and which has been submitted
to the Federal Trade Commission for
approval will, if put into operation,
require that each company belonging
to the association will supply each
member and the secretary of the as
sociation with copy of its price list
including terms and conditions of

NEW YORK, June 1O.-Royal Dutch

income of 54,279,l89 forms, about
S36.856,000, after taxes and other

This compares with 38.l3l,575

cent, on the ordinary stock in 1894.
The report of the management to
the board of commissaries said 1885
would appear to mark the com.
mcncement Of a recovery of the oil
industry" for the world.
Efforts Of the American producers
TO stabilize the oil industry yielded
more tangible results than in past
years, the report said in part.
Although production in Russia in.
creased somewhat, as a factor in the
international oil market this country
is steadily losing ground and can
hardly be regarded as a rival there
any longer
BY dint of increasingly reckless
drilling they succeed now and then
in effecting a slight augmentation OF
their production, but new prospects
do not seem to be opening up.

large American producers, is afiliated
