Mr. Evans and Clyde were only slightly injured The Sage of Burnsville says it is all right for a fellow to put his family in his car and take them to Sunday school and church on Sunday morning, but when he loads his wife and chil dren in his car, dodges by his church and goes to the country to spend the day, he is not only not doing his duty toward his family but he is incurring the dis pleasure of the Almighty. ‘ Re- member the Sabbath day to keep it holy ” The fellow who dis regards the Lord’s day, and leads his children to do the same thing, is just as sure to come to a bad ending as the Gospel is true. That is what the Sage says about it, and we believe he is right. f Wanted, to Figure With You f • ^ On Metal Roofing, Gi|tter, Spouting, Metal Ceil- ing. Pipe and Pipeless F|irnaces, Heatrolas.

C ^ ' i Notice to Contractors | and Builders I Owing the building boom all over the country and the ^4, great demand for lumber and building supplies that has X continued all the year, it is almost a certain fact that there ^ will ^ no great reduction in prices of lumber and building supplies this year, and some who are in much better posi- ^ tion to know than we. predict that the demand will last all ^ through next year; therefore, if you are planning to either ^ build or repair, please give us an opportunity to figure X your estimates and we will give you the very lowest prices the market affords, considering our high quality lumber and the best standard lines of building materials. Our stock is more complete now than ever before and we can fill almcst any order on short notice, notwithstand ing the fact that our business is twice as large now as it was at this time last year.
