Thom who vnat wood should commaniente with him Those who have It for sale can do the same thing. , There ie little reason for Dunn to bum cool at all. We see an sense in paying big freight ratoa on a fuel to be found a thousand miles away whaa there is so much that is more satisfactory all around us. There is enough wood in the forests around Duan to keep the whole county sup plied for many yean. Heretofore we have been too bogy gathering aad spending profits from easier voca tions to pay aay attention to this rouree of wealth. Now whan we are sot unite ao well equipped with mo n*y, we might top It and Had that r* us ml ao badly off after all. A meeting called by the Chamber of Commerce to consider indorsement «f Marion Butler, former Senator, for the Mbs of Secretary of Agri culture ia the Harding Cabinet, was rained out lost Wedneodsy night. And—It's jam as welL We have no objection to the business mss of Duan indorsing tbo able former Sen ator. Wc have great faith in hia a billty and are confident that the new President would bare to go a lang way before finding a man bettor fit tod for the job. But the Chamber of Commerce has no business touch ing anything concerning politics. It ahUcan members who beet eltiaene at Dana, large number of good be Mn to follow the meeting.
