With near ly (2,000,000 subscribed to date by retail lumber dealers of the country in the campaign for the big fund for the nation-wide advertising pro gram of. the National Ketail Lum ber Dealers Association, officers of the Association here today an-; nouueed that the series of adver tisements would be started in a abort time in newspapers in those ' counties where the quota has been subscribed. This program of the j retail lumber dealers is the most gigantic cooperative advertising campaign, in the history of the country. Tho larger part of the fund is to be spent in newspaper advertising, the remainder going into national magazines and farm papers. "The retail lumber dealers of the country have waked up to the fact that they have not kept pace with the trend of modern busi ness," said Hawley Wilbur, of West AUis, Wis., chairman of the board o trustees of the advertising pro gram of the Association, explaining the reason for the campaign. "The lumber dealer usually is a pretty weii known citizen in his communi ty. He is often a leader in com munity affairs. He has a business which has required a considerable investment, he has a reputation as an honest and fair dealer, he has a large stock of building material, he is ready to sell materials to who ever wants to buy. "In general there are excep tions, of course he has taken the attitude that this ought to be suf ficient. He has advertised in his local paper in a desultory sort of way, sometimes he has put on some kindof special effort, but in general he has ndl been an ag gressive merchandiser, in the sense that that phrasehas taken on in the last ten years. AAnd to his dismay he has found business slipping away from him. To use the expressive phrase of Charles J. Pettlnger, chaitman of our national fund-raising campaign, me lumber tlea'er has been at the loot of Main Street. When Ml Average Citizen has paid his rent and grocery bill and -bought cloth ing, he comes uptown, jingling the remaining dollars from his pay en velope. There at the head of the street stands the automobile deal er. On the bet corner iu town, with a brightly lighted show room, w ith line new glittering cars, backed by heavy advertising, he gets first attention from Mr. and Mrs. Citi zen. Next is the radio dealer, with equally attractive displays ami equally aggressive merchandising and advertising programs. Then the moving picture houses, the de partment store, the candy man and so on. Clear down at the loot of Main Street or more likely, off on a side street Is the lumber deuler. And by the time Mr. and Mrs, Citizen pass the lumber yard, they say, 'Oh well, we'll start sav ing for our new heme next month.' "The National Retail Lumber Dealers Association is going to change that picture. With the aO.OOo dealers of this country unit ed as never before in support of our program, we propose, by a dominant newspaper advertising campaign that will last four years to urge on Mr. and Mrs. Citizen that a new home, or a moderniza tion of an old home, means more to them in comfort and convenience and happiness than all the other things they have been spending their money for. And In doing bo the merchandisers and advertisers among the lumber dealers will teach the other participants In the rnmpaign how to become as ag Rrpssive as dealers In other lines."

The lu-isoner. who waa generally known as Jerome Prat, is accused of murdering three women whom he had promised to marry. Dis patches from Algiers say that he lias Khown little inclination to help the police nnd constantly exerts t himself to niystlly them. Algiers police have notified the Marseilles authorities that when he Mas arrested he admitted that he was the man wanted and that he) had a check obtained from one of the three women whose bodies the French police have found. Oregon News in Brief SUPERIOR, Wis., June :i0.(P) President Coolidge feels optimis tic enough about thcanti-war nego tiations now pending between the I'nited States and 11 powers to be lieve that a draft treaty to this ef fect will be ready for senate ratifi cation next December. Mr. Coolidge has not had oppor tunity for detailed cmv.mumc-ation with Secretary of State Kellogg as to the reception afforded the hit ter's last note on this question chy the other powers. In his last note Secretary Kellogg proposed a definite draft treaty whereby the signatory nations would renounce war as an instru ment of national policy and would obligate themselves never to seek the solution of future international complications except by peaceful means. 'resident Coolidge is awaiting the actual resignation from the cab-, inet of Recretaiies Hoover and Work before deciding upon who their successors will he. It Is believed the resignations will be offered at an early date, though he has as yet no definite information when the portfolios will he actually returned to him. In the case of Secretary Hoover, especially, Mr. Coolidge is very short of definite information. Tie stipposoa, however, that the repub lican nominee will either stop off at Superior on his way to his home in Palo Alto early next month, or will do so on his return from Cali fornia. In the cnioymont of the proKiQil Mr. Coolidge has .',riven no thought to his personal future. He has made no plans for himself after March 1 when he will vacate the White House. At the present his chief personal interest lies in the arrival either Sunday or Monday of his son, John, at Cedar Island lodge to join the family circle. PIXE CAMP, X. Y., June HO.
