Minister Fills Up Pews Down In Front Decatur, 111., April 25 — (UP) — When the Rev. Allen L. Eddy, pastor of the Congregational church here, delivers a sermon, he likes to have his listeners well down in front. For some time members of his flock avoided the front pews, sitting in the rear of the church. After watching the procedure for several Sundays, Eddy procured a large rope, and roped off the back pews. The idea helped matters along a great deal, the minister admitted. o Great Art Collector It is often said that the lat 6 John Pierpont Moigan was the greatest art collector of modern times. His collections were the largest, most varied, and many of them the most important owned by a single Individual. He has been compared with Lorenzo de Medici, and It has been said that he surpassed even that prince in the cath- . olicity of his taste.

LUMBER TRADE IN NORTHWEST GROWS BETTER Timber Magnate Issues Most! Hopeful Statement In Six Years Portland, Ore. April 25—(UP)—The Pacific Northwest, through ita timber, is more proaperiotiH by approximately $5,000,(10(1 than It was a year ago, and If lumbermen will be reasonable in production, a similar increase probably will be noted in the next year, it was declared here by C. S. Keith, President of the Oregon-American Lumber company and one of the largest timber operators in the United States. The timber magnate’s statement is the most optimistic given out here for at least six years. It was in 1923 that timber stocks in this vicinity started, to pile up, aud It took five years, or until last April for holders to start liquidation. There are a number of causes for the greatly Improved tone tn the lumber trade Keith explained. Foremost is that the supplies of the retailers ■ have become exhausted, due to liquidation of the last year, so that the 1 general consumer is virtually dependent on production for his needs. Another is that the southern pine supply is near the exhaustion point. The effect of this liquidation has been to increase the value of timber $4.50 a thousand feet since last April This increase has been gradual, with numerous small advances, and has increased the value of timber from $45,000,000 to $50,000,000 since that time. The price has advanced $1.50 a thousand feet since January 1, Keith raid, sending values of $15,000,000 during the three-month period. And it Is still climbing he asserted. "The situation evperienced the last five or six years has been identical to the one in 1927" Keith said "There were enormous supplies of timber on hand that it took five years to liquidate. In 1898 the supply had been received for nine years, until 1907, when the money panic occurred. "The present lumber panic started in 1923 and did not start to abate until about a year ago. How long we will realize good business depends almost entirely on how the lumbermen handle prdouction. The price of timber last April was the lowest ever experienced, tl started to climb then and at the end of the year was $3 a thousand feet higher

Since that time it has adv.w.njed $1.50 a thousand. "Stocks of timber here are 55 per cent fold, while in Aie south the supplies are 47 per cent disposed of. The timber referred to in the Pacific Northwest is mostly fir, and some hemlock and cedar. Pine is the principal production of the South. o—“Hot Dog” Candidate Elected Mayor Os Dallas Dallas, T„ April 25—(UP) J. Waddy Tate yesterday was elected mayor of Dallas by a majority of more than 3,000 votes over his opponent, Temple H. Morrow. Tate was known as the “hot dog" candidate when he gave thousands of the “animals" away at campaign meetings. o — Land on Their Feet All animals nnturally have the Itn pulse to land on their feet when falling.
