HURRAH FOR MIKE MCNAMARA. Washington, June 20.—There’s a lit tie sj>ot in Ireland that Michael Mi - Namara had in his ‘'moind’s eye" for a long time—thirty years, in fact. All that time Michael was obeying orders, drilling, campaigning, and doing the hundred-and-one things that fall to the lot of the American marine. Michael finished his time, retiring with the rank of "Sarjint major, no less.” and went back to that little spot in County Mayo. Then came our participation in the war Did Michael stay retired? He did not’ He tame right back on the S. S. St. Louis, paying his own fare, and went directly to the U. S. Marine Corps Headquarters to volunteer his services. McNamara could have signed up with some Irish regiment for, despite his fifty-odd years, he is still a “foine broth av a boy." Instead, he braved the submarines to fight under the flag that for thirty years be had called his own. Michael has a bit of the stuff of which loyal Americans and heroes are made. STRONG EVIDENCE.

Neb 20tf To Our Friends And Customers In order that you may know the reasons why lumber is costing more today than it did one year ago, we offer for your consideration the following facts: hverything which goes into the manufacture of luni i» r has doubled and trebled in value, machinery, saws, tool-, chains, and everything made of iron or steel are S costing more than was ever known before. Feed for teams is at price- nearly prohibitive. Harness, belting an*l everything else made of leather is likewise and the sawmill- are paying higher wages. The demand for lum ln-r ha s rown by leaps mid hounds. For some time buy er- from the northern and eastern states remained out of tin- market, thinking it would weaken, hut on the contrary, it -teadily advanced and when actual condi tions U-eanie known they bought in large quantities and l*aid fancy prices for quick shipments. rhe I nit-d States and Allied (Joveraments are using millions *-f feet for war purposes. Work has begun on one thousand merchant vessels to he built entirely out of wood. | The above are some of the reasons why lumber costs I more than it -lid one year ago, but have you stopped to § think that a l-udiel of wheat, oats or corn will buy more [ hinder and building material than it would last year. |f We do not look for a decline in prices any time soon. | If you expect to build, do it NOW while our stocks are i in shape to supply your requirements.

It’s most unpleasant to be shot or slashed up with a sword; when bat tle rages, loud and hot, the tinhorn man is bored. His neighbors gallop to enlist, all eager for the fray. “I’ll stay at home,” he says, “I wish I have no wish to slay." And while the war is going on, and brave men sternly fight he loafs at ease upon his lawn, and sleeps in bed at nignt. He's thankful that the stress and strife are far re moved from him, that he can lead a peaceful life in times that are so grim. But when the battles all are done, and peace is here again, and from the scenes of triumph won return the j fighting men, when to their homes the heroes jog, with laurels on each brow, i oh, happier a yellow dog than is the j slacker now! “From danger’s path l| was exempt,” the slacker oft hath j said, “but now men view me with con- j tempt—I would that 1 were dead! Ii would that I had sought the scrap, and i sailed in, hit or miss; and if they’d! shot me off the map, ’twere better far than this!” Ere you succumb to craven | fears, to dread of strife and pain, think think of all the future years and of the, world’s disdain.—Walt Mason.
