CHEHALIS, Wash.. March 29.
(Special.) Fire at 3 o'clock this
morning totally destroyed the main
portion of the Coal Creek Lumber
company sawmill In the north end of
Chehalls. The loss is estimated at
$150,000 with J50.000 Insurance. The
fire undoubtedly was of incendiary
origin, according to Wallace Larson,
the night fireman, and J. M. Brown,
the company's night watchman.
Larson first discovered the fire in
the filing room and following an ef
fort to put it out with the big hose
U hand, discovered there was no :
pressure, the hose having a slit of
several inches in one side. He asserts
the room reeked with the odor of pa bo
lin and immediately there was a flash
and the flames spread over the entire
room. Shutting his eyes he made
dash and escaped. His hands and
face were badly burned.
Mr. Brown also is certain the fire
was set. as he had been in the part
of the mill where it started less than
45 minutes before. This was near the
center of the plant and it Is the
theory that the purpose was to start
the blaze where It would spread
quickly in every direction.
When firemen sought to use the
various lines of hose it was found
that some of the valves on the out
elde of the plant had been opened and
there was little pressure. The Che

fire to the mill proper, with the ex

cumin HOWLERS HIT
REV. DEAX HICKS ADMOXISHES
ME TO HAVE COCKAGTS.
Preacher i)eolares -Much Unrest
Prevailed for Time After Civil
War, Just as Now.
"It is true that some men's souls
fail them occasionally when they con
template the unrest and upheavals
from which the world suffers today.
"Calamity howlers are busy.
"It is freely stated by some who
ought to know better that our church
has failed, and that Christianity has
lost its power.
"Is it to be wondered at that even
some ministers and church workers
of different churches are discouraged
with so much fault-finding and
gloom?"
The speaker was Rev. Dean Hicks
of St. Stephens Pro-Cathedral, who
gave a Lenten address yesterday noon
in the Baker theater, under the aus
pices of the Brotherhood of St An
drew. Dean Hicks sketched the scene
when Jesus was about to take leave
of his disciples. He bade them not
be troubled but to believe in Him.
"Of course the disciples were trou
bled and discouraged at the prospect
of losing the Master, but did He not
assure them that He would be with
them always? Were they not after
ward happy because of the promise of
Christ?" proceeded the speaker.
"We talk of unrest today. Remem
ber that history teaches us that in
America just after the close cf the
civil war, similar unrest reigned for
a time. But God's hand guided our
destinies as a nation then, and still
Ho does so. God is at the helm of
America. God will send us a Moses.

FIXED. PRICE ESTABLISHED
ON SHOES IN PENNSYLVANIA
(Leaned Wire Service of tae Fost
Intelllgrncer, Chicago Tribune and
A'fw York Time.) .
(Copyright, 1920.)
PHILADEDPHIA, Pa., March 14.
A fixed price for shoes of all grades
sold everywhere in Pennsylvania has
been, ordered by Frank McClaln, fed
eral fair-price commissioner, after
conference with shoe dealers. Simi
lar agreements are to be drawn up
for every other retail commodity on
profits to dealers.
The shoe agreement becomes ef
fective March 26 and will mean a
lowering of average profits by more
than 28 per cent.
In an official statement outlining
details of the agreement with the
shoe men, McClaln asserted that in
vestigation by department of justice
men in many cities of this state has
proved "that an average of 78 per
cent over cost has been charged on
men's and women's staple shoes and
.on children's shoes."
It was pointed out that this aver
age is reached only through the op
erations of profiteers. Dealers who
have been playing fair with the public
did not get the average. In many in
stances, no matter where their shops
were located. But profiteering dealers
got prices returning as high as 150
per cent and more over the cost of the
shoes to them.
Commissioner McClaln declined to
comment on a statement issued by the
committee of the Pennsylvania Shoe
Retailers' association, which voted
unanimously in favor of the agree
ment. But he emphatically declined
to indorse the statement that "in the
main, the prices have been consistent
with the wholesale cost."

them. Did you know that government officials are now trying to
effect arrangements with the Retail Shoe Merchants' associations
of the different states to LIMIT profits to FIFTY per cent? They
are. It's already heen done in Pennsylvania.
Did you know that 50 represents just HALF the Selling Price not half the
Cost? It does. That means if a shoe cost $10 it can be sold at $20 without
"profiteering". But don't understand us to say that ALL shoes are sold that
way; they're not.
The AVERAGE shoe profits throughout the country range from 40 to 50.
To show a 40 profit ADD two-thirds to the cost; to show a 50 profit DOU
BLE the cost, that is add 100 to arrive at the selling price. Thus a shoe
costing $9 and selling on a 40 margin brings $15. A shoe costing $12 sell
ing on the same margin brings $20.
Our Contention Is-
and we have thoroughly tested and proven it that with the HIGHER PRICES
of shoes the PERCENTAGE of profit can be LOWERED and still yield a profit
in DOLLARS in keeping with the higher costs of doing business. It is to be
remembered that today the merchant is getting 40 of $15 for a pair of shoes
and not 40 of $5, as used to be the case. WE'VE LOWERED the percentage
and the results have proven highly satisfactory, the difference being that we
are satisfied with a NET profit as low as 5 instead of 15 to 20, as is the
rule. We" depend on our GREAT VOLUME our immense outlet for our net
yearly gain.

The Disease Is Deep-seated and

Rheumatism Is a sturdy foe, and It
never uses gentle methods with its
victims. If the disease was confined
to the surface there might be some
logic in expecting relief from its
clutches by' rubbing with liniments
and lotlons. But a disease that can
cause so much pain and suffering is
deep-seated, and has its source far
below the surface of the skin.
The only sensible treatment from
which you can expect results is a
remedy that roes deep down into the
blood snpply and kills the germs that
cause the disease.
S. S. S. is a wonderful blood rem
edy, and is the logical treatment for
Rheumatism, because it promptly per
meates the entire blood Bupply and
searches out and kills the disease
germs. Tou can take S. S. S. with
the assurance that you are not experi
menting, for this fine old remedy
has been in constant use for more

it has been giving splendid results.
