ine law requires inai me names or s

President be printed on the ballot, making
the ottal number of names the ballot
will contain sixty-six.
Fox's Name Not on Ballot.
Several weeks ago Charles J. Fox of
this place announced hirfiself a candidate
for Congress as a progressive, but as he
failed to tile with tho secretary of state
within the time specified by law a certificate
of his candidacy his name was not
certified by thee secretary of state to the
supervisors of elections, consequently his
name will not appear on the ballot. The
failure of Capt. Fox to take the steps
necessary to have his name placed on the
ballot was due, it is ui,jdorstood. to opposition
among certain of the progressive
leaders of the district to placing a
progressive candidate for Congress in the
field.

Four Million Laths Have Been Taken

Though the work of unloading the

two weeks ago has been pushed at the

Matanzas is the first full-rigged hark to
bring a cargo to this city in several years,
and, as vessels of her class are rapidly
disappearing from the American register.
it is po.-sib e that she will be the last
vessel of that rig to come here. Charters
for square-rigged craft are difficult

in consequence of the expense attending

Fully three thousand persons paid *
admission to hear socialist doctrine P
from the lips of Eugene V. Debs at ^
Convention Hall last night. A scat- ?
toring of this great crowd wore red s'
neckties and carried red flags, the em- P
Idem of the socialist party, but the a
larger part of the audience was made G
up of men and women who do not be- a
long to the p_arty, but who took great it
interest in the speech. The proportion
uf women in the audience was one of a
the noticeable features of the gather- "
ing. They listened to the incisive de-,
livery of the socialist candidate for the
presidency with quiet attention, breaking
it only when the speaker would o
utter one of his characteristic economic tl
witticisms; the socialists present being tl
especially gleeful at Mr. Debs' bitter L
utterances against Woodrow Wilson. n
Eugene V. Debs' speech could not have c:
'ailed to interest every one who heard b
t. It bristled with sharp words; it pre- b
rented pictures of industrial conditions si
n coal mines and steel plants which ti
wrought actual shrinking and shudder- p
ng to some of the women present. Debs b
lid not rant when he cried out his be- c
lef that capital is a tyrant and that the c
workers of America are the "peons" of tl
noneyed interests. a
Greeted With. Cheers.

The crowd cheered for fully five minutes
when Debs marched to the plat'orm,
flanked on either side by young
.vomen, dressed in white and wearing
ed sashes and carrying ret banners. ^
["hey were members of the \oung Peo- ^

le said: r,
"Socialism is inevitable. You may re- ..

"This year." said Mr. Debs, "marks a j,
:rueial period in our history. More men
ire leaving their old parties this year g]

He assailed republicans, democrats and '
bird termers alike, but was especially
severe on the democrats. Of the third
termers he said that the only good in e

and that the third-term move- t]
nent was more of a protest than a party.

He painted a picture of the conventions
it Chicago and Baltimore, with a background
of wealth against which "silk- T
hatted boodlers and grafters, stopping at y
he best hotels," were acting aw delegates. s<

he described in dull gray tones, showing cl

"The socialist party." he-continued, "is

"The republican party proposes to dissolve

augh. "Archbold has discovered that a

Lem of $2-'5.<MK) for improving this roadfay

shall be to look after the welfare of the
children of that particular community
and also to endeavor to get the parents
to become members of the organization.

thirty-five bound in one direction and
twenty in the other its request for allnight

THINNEST VENEER MADE
FROM SPANISH CEDAR
Some of It Cut So Thin It Takes
110 Sheets to Make an Inch
Thickness.
The thinnest veneer made irf commercial
quantities and in a general commercial
way as that made from Spanish
cedar into stock for veneering cigar
boxes. There are used in this country ajw
proximately 5.0G0.01H) feet of Spanish
cedar annually for the making of cigar
box lumber and cigar box veneer. Approximately
500.000 feet of this is cut
into veneer, of which it takes 1<W sheets
to measure an inch in thickness. Some
of it is cut so thin that it takes HO sheets
to make an inch In thickness. Mere is
an interesting problem for those who like
to figure out things, to take a pencil and
figure out how many feet, surface measure,
of veneer cut in this thickness with
a rotary machine "ran he made out of
oOO.UhO feet log measure of Spanish cedar.
Aroma of Spanish Cedar.
Even what is called the thicker cigar
box lumber is as thirj as the average
thickness in venegr. About a million feet
of Spanish cedar per year is cut into
inch in thickness and between one-fourth
and one-half a million is cut 3-l?>. Theoe
are the standaad thicknesses for cigar
box lumber, taking the industry as a.
whole. When it comes down to the real
thin stock this is getting it down pretty
fine, and this thin stock in veneer cut
1<K? to 110 to the inch is used for covering
poplar and gum cigar box lumber so as
to make it have the appearance and
some of the aroma of Spanish cedar. The
finished stock then is about to .'t-lo in
thickness. No big hydraulic presses are
used for this veneering, either. The veneer
is simply spread and brushed out
and the stock piled up one on top of tho
otiier to dry.
