There arc no lumber miuireinentH that wo cannot (ill with
reasonable proinptneaa.
This in not bragging; it in cold fact and is the result of ef
ficiency in this line of husincaH.
Seasons are not recognized as price arbiters in
the lumber business, but. our lumber is all well
seasoned and our prices so nearly correct as to
be seasonable at all times of the year.
Order Your Winter's

COAL Supply NOW!
It is the wise thing to do
You'll say so this winter, too.
If we could make plain to yqji the situation, we know that
you would put in your winter 'a coal supply now. We are not
trying to scare you, but we arc trying to tell you. The car
shortage exists. It may look to you like everything is mov
ing, but you'll appreciate what, we tell you when winter comes
and it may be next to impossible to get coal.
AVe've got coal to sell you today. We've got coal today to
put into your bin. We can't promise more. It's good coal
and it's a fair price. We urge you to get busy think act.
It will prove to your advantage.

The American war cry, "din tlio

Von llindenhurg's monstrous as

Gibbon defined history as a record
of the crimes and follies of mankind.
largely true, but it would nerer do
to let history be written by those
guilty of the follies, let alone the
crimes, and for fifty years hence Ger
man historical writers will have to
be content with a limited and purely
Teutonic audience.

Of course the sane Russians would
like the assistance of 100.000 Amer

the mad Russians might leave the
Americans to bear the brunt of the
German fire while they (the mad)

cialistic reforms. We can serve Rus

The first lord of the British Ad
miralty is quoted as saying that "it
is a great war and a great age to
live In" presumably meaning that
It is an age of the making of heroes
and of national. purification through
trial. Such a view is beyond many
of us who would hall the war's end
tomorrow, but certainly it is better
to look at it in thin way than to pull
a long face and do nothing but drivel
pessimism.

camp for rigid inspection.
I Jingo Ki.r Biile Fire
Buildings on each camp ground
will include: General headquarters,
brigade general headquarters, officers
headquarters, barracks for private
Holdlers. hospital and animal und ar
tillery sheds. Near general head
quarters will be the parade ground
sufficient in area to accommodate the
entire command. More extensive
maneuvering fields will be laid out
for actual drilling and, most import
ant from the soldiers viewpoint, the
rifle range and nrtillery fields will
give opportunity not only for direct
fire in view of the targets but for in
dlr ct fire and barrage or curtain fire
The great range of the modern rifle
permits indirect small arm tire, u
thing impossible with the old musk
et, and the soldiers will be instruct
ed in elevating the rifle r.o that an
Intervening hill would trot prevent
the destructive effect of the volley.
There will be sufficient men under
arms at each cantonment to form at
least two divisions of 19.000 men, as
employed in France and Belgium,
and intensive maneuvers with the
Kuropean division as a unit will fa
miliarize officers and men with condi
tions such as they probably will meet
on the battle field and in trench war
tare. That no detail of training for ac
tual warfare may be lacking each
cantonment will contain the various
arms of the service with the excep
tion of cavalry. At least one division
of infantry will train in conjunction
Willi Held artillery, engineers, signal
battalion and aero squadron und the
support of heavy artillery. To as
sist in I lie maneuver there will be
approximately lO.OOO animals, artil
lery borsei and mules and wauon

of motor trucks and vehicles
Oflieers Number t.OOO
The soldiers will be commanded at
each cantonment by nearly 1,000 of
ficers ami many more non-commissioned
officer! -sergeants and cor
porals selected from the ranks. An
nouncement has been made by the
war department thai promotions will
be made for each army division, op
ening the way for umbitious soldiers
to riso to positions of command.
The details of the routine for the
soldier limine his stay at the can
tonments are largely at the discre
tion of the commandant of each camp
and no hard and fast regulations
have been issue. 1 covering the course
Of instruction In a broad way the
drills are expected to follow the in

commands at the cantonments re

fairs. Routine of the Day
Kevielle will rouse the men at
o'clock, and their subsequent activi
ties will include morning and after
noon drill, first in "the school of the
soldier." which calls for mastciiim
the manual of arms, learning to
stand, walk and run properly. the
efficient care of weapons and the use
of the rifle. Then comes the "school
of the squad" In which the soldier
learns to act in conjunction with his
11 squad mates; then the "school
of the company" with platoon form

athletic nature, will be encouraged.
Experts in wrestling, fencing, swim
ming and boxing will i-mpart their
skill to the men. Moving pictures
and entertainments will help to while
away evening hours.
Modi 1- Carefully Guarded
Every effort will be made by the
officers in charge to protect the men
from evil influences and the camp
morula will be under constant super
vision. The entertainment of the
men will be largely under the direc
tion of company chaplains.
Reading rooms, facilities for writ
ing and opportunities for indoer
amusements have been arranged, all
with a view to making the soldier
comfortable, contented and cheerful
that he may more quickly learn his
duties and responsibilities and the
sooner become a first-class fighting
man.
While line officers have been busy
preparing to train the citizen sol
diers the quartermaster's depart
ment has been no less busy arrang
ing for feeding the thousands who
will occupy the cantonments.
As In the regular army, each com
pany will have Irs cook and helpers
who prepare and serve the rod.
Cleanliness is an absolute necessity.
The rations which will be served
each man include beef, mutton, ba
con (corned, canned and fresh),
corned beef hash and fish (fried, pic
kled, canned and fresh), turkey, soft
breads, hard bread, corn cakes, corn
bread, baked beans, bean soup, rice
hominy, potatoes (fresh and canned)
turnips and other vegetables, prunes,
apples, peaches, jam coffee, tea, sug
ar, milk (evaporated), vinegar and
pickles. Care is taken to avoid too
frequent repetition of any food in the
dally meals and the varieties make
possible a balanced ration at all
times.-
In preparing the cantonments the
war department has sought to make
sure that the "soldiers in training for
the new national army shall have
comfortable quarters, good food,
moral surroundings, needful recrea
tion and above all expert military in
struction so that the new army may
be able and equipped at every point
for the task before it.
