This Is

True

Story-

When the Oliver Style Shop opened its doorf of business to the women of South Bend and vicinity it met with enthusiastic response and has kept up with the same speed, and today this shop enjoys the reputation of being the finest shop of its kind in Northern Indiana. Every woman who entered this shop said, "NOW THIS IS JUST WHAT WE NEED A REAL EXCLUSIVE SHOP DEVOTED TO BLOUSES, LINGERIE AND NEGLIGEES. YOUR merchandise is just adorable beautiful so dainty, so different and original." And as I passed along the street I met so many of my friends, who stopped to congratulate me. And in course of conversation they insinuated that no doubt our prices would be beyond the average person's means. AND I BELIEVE MANY OTHERS HAVE THOUGHT THE SAME. SEEING IS BELIEVING. Just seven weeks have passed my friends and many others have been convinced that in this exelusive shop PRICES ARE SENSIBLE AND WITHIN REACH OF EVERYONE. (Signed) W. H. STEIN, Manager.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.. April 29. The lumber industry, stimulated by a nation-wide construction boom, is romintr into its own, and the south i? attaining a dominant position in the industry- In spite of adverse weather conditions, car shortage, the labor situation and other retarding factor.", lumbermen of thi section anticipate a heavy spring business. I'.ecrupc of the heovy snows and severe cold in the north, the rrtali

yards of that section were unable until recently to move the lumber already on hand. But stocks In the north .ire now beinsr depleted, and it i- pen fearpd locally that the demand will afrain exceed ihf supply, due to heavy rains in Alabama which have Krcatly hindered operation?. The car fhortae is considered extromrly furious in this Industry, ;ik well as in many others. The same conditions in the labor questions that aris elsewhere also are factor? here. The irreat demand for nev buildlr.ps to solve the housing problem, coupled with the other cause referred to, h:;S been responsible for n.ikincr lumber prlcrs hitrh. but it is alco iervin;r to place the south very mar the top among tnanuf ic tun rs.

i way.? ranked third anions national

industries, but today occupies an even more important position, and its main activities are in thf south. The demand In universal, the southern lumbermen bfini? called upon to furnish lumber for rebuilding devastated Kurope, as well as to supply the crenter oart of the

i ration's needs. This is not alone

true of construction material, but hardwood for some of the largest furniture .manufacturing companies in America now comts fron:, the timbered lands of Alabama and other southern states. A part of the present heavy demand for lumber and timber is for derrick construction in the oil field of Texav according to lumbermen. One hundred thousand derricks will eventually be built on proved lands, ari l it is estimated that JS.OOO foot of lumh r will be required for each derric k. At the present time the lumber industry of Alabama prives employment to 2t.00o persons, or .". 2 per cent of the total number ensraed in industiy of all kinds; it pays LT per cent ef the total salaries and waes paid to industrial employes; its capital arr.ounts to 14 per cent ef the totrd industrial capital employed In the state; its annual products arc worth ? 2 r.. 0 00.000. or IS per rent of the total value of nil manufacturers, and this is exceeded only by the- value of agricultural produrts.

HIRAM W. JOHNSON

One of a Series of Sketches of Men Prominently Mentioned foV Chief Executive.

Newspapermen around the capitol at Washington will tell you thtre is not a more serious-minded man in politics than Hiram Warren Johnson. Reporters in California are likely to add that Johnson has been in earnest from the day the then obFcure lawyer opened his otllce for general practice in Sacramento. The Johnson two-fisted attitude has always made those who came in contact with him either supporters or opponents. A man of the fighting type, he is usually compared with Koosevelt. Vet those who expect him to relate amusir.? anecdotes from his life are usually disappointed. Although he has a keen sense of humor, he refrains from exhibiting the lichter side of life. When he tells a joke enly those who know him best and can catch the twinkle in his eye can tell he is not in earnest. Johnson is always at work. That is. when he is not sitting behind third-base watching a ball Käme.

Ilir.im John.'on was made. Later when a company of thinking men decided to form the Lincoln-Koosevelt league to ficht hossism in California, they picked Johnson to head their ticket in the gubernatorial race. Taking advantage ef the state's new direct primary laws, they appealed to the people. Dropping his now large law practice Johnson bent to the task. Neither he nor unv of his backers was wealthy, but

all were honest. v ' ' "Winnincr the It publican nomina

Johnson would say, "I am going to j be governor. And my first act will be to kick the bosses out of politics

and to turn the government or tnis state back into the hands of the people." Johnson's "little red automobile," became known in every hamlet in

the state, from the Oregon line to i

eagerly awaited his appearance. At ; first Ignored by the newspapers, his , unique campaign to reached the , people, that e etitors gradually began to scent the trenei of public opinion. Johnson was fast becoming the most talked-of man in the
