of contributing to each person who

$150 a year. Under the community

The annual drive for communlty

day. While this will be the thir­

make it a lucky day by completing
the entire budget of $1300 during
the one day. A complete organira
tion will be ready to start work
early that morning and keep going
until the required amount is raised
While this budget seems low for
a city of this size, it includes i
amounts for all the recognized
charitable organizations, such as
Red Cross. Salvation Army, chil­
dren s farm home. Albertina Kerr
nursery home, etc., as well as in
adequate amount for Christmas
charities.
In addition to money contribu

is gathered and distributed. This.

"The Patsy’’ has nine characters,

It is one of the prettiest and most

The story concerns Patricia Har­

who is blamed whenever anything
goes wrong, and is forced to remain
in the background in order that
her older sister may be presented
to advantage. Her father, a travel­

Retailers Are Going Into Winter
With Small»**! Stock* In
Many Years.
(('row'« Lumber Dig««!.)
The general outlook has under­
gone no change of conseejuence dur­
ing the past two weeks A rather
tense situation exists in all branches
of the industry. Fir manufactur­
ers are making an extensive and
determined effort to regulate pro­
duction to meet shrunken demand
with rhe hope that price declines
may be minimized. Among the
producers the opinion is generally
held that there is not much hope
for a revival in buying between
now and the first of the year. Bas­
ically, conditions are not as bad as
they appear on the surface. Tha»
applies more especially to retail
yard items. The buik of the buy­
ing during the past 60 days has
been in badly mixed cars and the
mills that are equipped to cater t »
business of that kind have kept
their stocks cleaned up surprising­
ly well, with the result that, even
though business has not been satis­
factory, there are no pressing ac­
cumulations with the exception
of an odd item here and there, if
the mills are able to maintain that
condition of stocks up until the
first of January, it is possible that
they may be able to cash in on
their good judgment
From the buyers’ angle it is easily
seen that they are suspicious of the
market and are holding their pui
chase.» down to the lowest point
possible, which gives plenty of
ground for the belief that the aver­
age retail
sash and door fac­
tory and industrial user of lumber
will go into the winter with the
smallest stocks that he has car
ried in several years. While then
attitude is proving somewhat
hardship on the mills, it is quite
possible that it may work to their
disadvantage from a price stand
point as, should the market take a
sudden turn for the better after the
first of the year, a general scurry
to get under cover with a few cars
for their early spring requirements
would undoubtedly result in a sud­
den stiffening of the market. Al­
ready. a few dealers are beginning
to feel that prices are as low, as
they will go.
The recent serious break in the
stock market was at first looked
upon as a favorable development
for the lumber industry, as it is
generally known that the high rate
being paid for call money n New
York has made it impractical to
finance speculative building and
that has had a direct influence on
building permits in the larger cities.
An orderly readjustment of stock
values will undoubtedly prove bene
ficial and should make money
available this winter to stimulate
spring construction work, but the
crash in stocks has taken on such
a near-panic turn that some are
beginning to fear that it may up­
set business of all kinds and do
more harm than good.
No one can do other than gues.<
as to what the next 60 days hold
for the lumber market, but it is a
safe estimate that the consumption
of lumber will be light and there
is no question but that the wise
thing for the manufacturers to do
is to hold the output down to a
1 low point, as they have everything
I to gain and nothing to lose by such
' a policy.
