READ TniS CLASSirilOl AOS A CONSCIENCE A decided betterment ; In tlie lumber market Is reported rrom nearly every producing section, says the American Lumberman, Chicago. The latest statistical re port of I lie Southern Pino Associa tion shows that orders at subscrib ing mills during this month have taken a sharp rise to 102 per cent or normal the highest point at tained this year. Production dur ing the same time stood ut SO per cent or normal und shipments av erage d 77 per cent. There Is In fact an active call for all Items of yard and shed slock, and the recent substantial Increase in in quiry Indicates that needs -ru ex tensive und that the recent rise in demand Is no meru fluctuation. The Douglas fir Industry also has experienced a good business dur ing recent weeks, especlully after the Fourth. Orders booked by the mills reporting to the West Coast Lumbermen's association by liild July attained 19 per cent above production, which In the mean time had risen lo practically nor mal. Reports from the middle west state that the recently improved demand there is holding up well and that prospects for country trade are brightening. No doubt country trade this full will be con fined hugely to repair material, it is stated, but even that is more than the farmers have been buy ing for some years. The harvests are now well along and new wheal is moving to tho market. Money should, therefore, be moving back to the country bunks In a steudy stream during the next two months. With the harvest or one of tho best on record, und prices on practically till farm products on h igh levels, t here' It every pros peet of good profits to the farmer tills year and consequently of in creased buying of all commodities consumed by the rural population. Hurdwood manufacturers report thut I here had been a noticeable improvement in the demand for their product during the lust fort night, and the market Is showing greater strength than for some time. production of southern hardwoods has been considerably curtailed on account of the recent situation us to call and prices, and some items have decreased consid erably In supply which. In com bination with a rocnt Increase in demand bus croated new firmness. Northern hardwood manufacturers also are restricting their opera tion, both at the mill and In the woods, and will not rettume normal production until they have' defi nite assurance of permanent bet terment In market conditions! The northern stocks are tow, especially those of No. 3 common, and the price tendency Is rather upward thun downward; Lion Submits to 0M'ialim Ami fi reels Veiling Dik-Ioi IIAMHI UG, Germany (AP) A veterinary recently lanced and t rented a big boll that had de veloped bet ween the eyes of one of the lions in the zoo here.
