durable.”
II'he answer is “dependable materials and dependable
construction.”
It is easy to waste or to save material at the expense
of comfort and permanence. When depreciation is taken
into consideration, We cost of material for poor construc-
tion is often higher in the end than that for a well-built
house. We buy and sell the best lumber obtamable.

FILIPINO SLAYER

SING SING. July 26.—A few
hours after a. weapon had been
found in his cell. Euloglo Lozado.
23 year old Filipino. was put to
death in the electric chair for'the
murder of Miss Blossom Martin. a
nurse. in Manhattan.
The weapon. made of tightly

ends with chewing gum. would have

are of the opinion that Lomrdo
hoped to get an opportunity to use
it on one of the keepers and then
make a. bait for liberty.
Refused to Explain Weapon
When the bludgeon was found
guards were about to take Londo
from is cell to dress him in the
black suit worn by men sitting in
the electric chair. It was surpris-
ingly solid .and would have made
an effective weapon.
\Vardeu I es, asked what harm
could have been done with the
bludgeon. said: "Well. you know
they can make'cu- wheels out of
paper. and if you got a. good whack
on the head with this paper stick
you'd have no doubt that it is an
effective weapon."
When the weapon was taken from
the cell. Lozado's last hopes of
averting death in the chair were
gone. He asked the keepers to get
his attorney. George Z. Medalle. of
Manhattan. to draw his will. It was
said that he had several hundred
dollars and some personal belong-
ings.

THE CORN KING
ARTHUR \V. CU‘I'I'EN.
CHICAGO. July 26-—A new WT“
king is cnthroncd at 'the Chicago
Board of Trade, in power after the
greatest “killing in grain "13" "”3
exchange has ever witnessed.
Arthur Vl’. Cutten. quiet. reticent.
calculating ruler of grain “15°-
strodo to his kingship on the. tide of
mounting corn prices that climaxed
with his coup involving the sale of
huge quantities of corn at a. profit
of nearly 30 cents n bushel. Con-
servative. authorities say Cullen
made $2,000,000 at least from his
corner.
Is om slnrle Simon.
Never was such a fortune made
on the local exchange in one swoop.
oven in the days when James A.
Patten. Joseph Letter or B. l‘.
Ilutchison were making their great
clean-ups. The new “hull" leader.
who bought heavily for rising prices
and had the faith and courage to
hold when the market sagged, is
nevertheless shy and unwilling to
talk of his success.
His one comment is that the
"sheep." the inexperienced traders.
should keep out of- the present
market.
"If I had a son." Cutten advises.
"I would not let him go near the
trade. I Wouldn‘t-let him touch it.
There are too many chances for the
inexperienced to lose. The whole
thing is too uncertain."
Has Bean Bolton.
Cutten himself has taken trim-
mings and serious ones. This man.
who calls himself a. “dirt farmer
and a. cash grain merchant." dis-
daining the title of "speculator."
they say. recently ran into heavy
losses. The present huge gains have
brought him leadership.
Patten. too. has made largo. sums
on the latest rise. taking profits of
nearly 30 cents a. bushel on large
holdings of corn, with a, less profit
on his oats holdings. Patten. known
as the “original long." the leading
bull trader on the market. who in
1909 made a famous corner of grain,
realizing profits nearly equal to
those Just made by Cutten. is a quiet
trader. Old in the game. he now is
conservative ‘in his dealings. al-
though large sums have been made
without spectacular showing.
Fortunes Made in "Pit."
Out of the bedlam that appears to
the uninitiated to reign in the pits
of the board of trade. fortunes for
the smaller traders as well as the
leaders are being made these. days.
It'is also true that out in the
"sticks." and among traders "caught
short" at the same time. are found
shattered fortunes to compensate.
Instinct causes the small trader to
be a. "bear" to sell “short." to pur-
chase for future delivery without
the bother of carrying charges that
"longs" must pay. And these are
the ones who have been hit on this
latest "bull" movement.
.A strange. bewildering spectacle
is this trading in the pits of Chi-
cago‘s grain exchange. Millions of
dollars in obligatioan one day
this week'over 370.000.000 of them
--are bandied about the wheat pit.
Men gone wild is the picture the
spectator gets in a. glimpse of the
floor of the exchange. From the
starting song... that gives the on-
looker the impression of commence-
ment of a. prize fight, the battle is
on. , ’
Opens With Roar. _
A roar comes from the exchange
when trading starts. that can
heard up La. Salle Street. the Chi-
cago financial district. Sellers in
the pits. all crowded with traders
bellow their offers. while buyers cry
their acceptance. From out ofxthls
noise comes the orders that deter.
mine what price the millions of far-
mers in this country and Canada
are to obtain for the grain they ship
to market.
These one or two hundred men
crowded into a small step-down cir-
cular pit. in shirt sleeves. some with
hats on. some off, old men and
young. carry on their speculation in
what appears to the outsider to be
the utmost confusion. Yet honor is
absolute. The mere beck or an up-
ralsed hand and a returned mod of
a. head will seal an order for their
lands of dollars in grain. Trade is
carried on by shoots and hand sig-
nals. Oderings appear to be drawn:
ed in the «in. but misunderstood
and accepted throughout thel‘ptt.

A little girl and her father were
watching Button out on the rock in
the ocean. They thought he was a
coat.
Presently the little girl cried out.
"Oh. papa. see: The coat is moving.
“my it isn’t a. coat at all. but a cat!"
"Sure enough. it is a. cat. Most
likely some bad boy has thrown it
in the water with a stone tied to
its neck. to try to drown it. but it
has managed to crawl up on the
rocks."
"Poor kitty! Let us go get our
rowboat and bring it in. “'in you.

"Yes. dear;
will."
On their way to get the boat
'theyflpused within a few feet of the
well. and though they heard both
Billy's and Stubby's voices they
could see them nowhere. and the
wind played and havoc for it made
their voices sound as if they came
from the opposite direction. After
stopping several times and listening
without being able to decide where
the animals were, they Walked on.
Billy and Stubby could hear their
voices die away in the distance.
"Now. Billy. there is a chance
lost. so stand up and let me see if
I can't climb up on your back and
get out."
It took many trials. but at last by
Billy putting his hind legs against
one wall of the well and. bracing his
forehead against the opposite Wall.
Stubby managed to Jump on his
back and climb to his head. from
where he gave a. big lean and landed
outside the Well.
"Now. Billy. don‘t worry! 1 will
soon find some one to get you out.

word of honor to come back and die
with you." ,

he be I. good one to come to the
aid of a. goat? I'll go down by the
shore and wait until they land.
Then I will bark and run up to the

down there."
Button was sitting on the little
girl's lap enjoying the petting she
was giving hi mwhen he saw Stub-
