duty to try and bring this matter in its critical form to your

car shortage such as manufacturers and shippers have never
dreamed of, and that in the near future.
At this time, then, it is well to consider and anticipate your
requirements for lumber and building materials, to take advan-

lumber shipments.

Rumor
'I‘l1c1e have been numerous com-
plaints of late from garden- owners
about the iegularlty with which their
fruits and vegetables disappear each
night. it is believed that young men
and boys are responsible for the thefts,
and the property owners are thorough
‘ly incensed at their losses.
This week brought the first frost of
the season. and it was a killing frost
in this vicinity, as the blackened flow-
ers, tomato vines and other vegetables
attest. This is very early in the sea-
son for frost. and, since it was a late
season in most respects. crops cannot
be considered as good as they prom
lsed a tow weeks ago. Lima beans and
other late beans sudered train the
