Rhode Island, in order to perfect him
self for a course at Annapolis later on.
Pay of enlisted men in the navy has
been materially increased, and this
with outfit of clothing free board, etc..
makes enlistment in that branch of the
service very appealing to the young
man. Two or- three or four years ser

otherwise he might never see, go a
long way toward drawing them to the

adding to it in dreadnaughts, battle
cruisers, destroyers, etc., as well as
personnel, and taking everything into

MOST IMPORTANT PRICE
REDUCTION
Of all price reductions made In recent
months, there is none of such import
ance as the substantial decline in
lumber.
With the presen tneed of homes and
buildings this spells a great saving
to builders. Than tpo, the actual dol
lar saving on the material for a new
home would amount to more than all
the savings on other purchases for the
average family forfa year or more.
If you could realize how long the preo
ent lumber prices are compared wit
the cost of productioh you would not
hesitate to start your proposed build
ing at once.
In addition to attractive price we of
fer quality materials and real build
ing service.
