Tito World .Much Changed Now The Senate Republicans, Democrats, free thinkers, prd-Wilson and anti Wilson would be blind indeed if it wasn't aware today that tlie world isn't what it used to be. There was La Follette and the implications of La Folletto ns he listened to the President's ' message to inspire tlie members to solemn ruminations. La Follette used to be a radical. He can claim that dis , . Unction no longer. The times are more JNradleal than he. Only a few years ago fLa Follette was one of the sights of Washington, like the monument and the Treasury Huildlug. He has a seat well up to the front where he may easily lie regarded by the trotters who step off to stare and wonder. La Follette's gesture, the skyward cascades of his hui'r, (lis Wisconsin manner of delivery were things that awed beholders. "There," everybody used to say, "is n wild one. He is full of dnti gerous theories, but no one takes him seriously."

Do you know the- story of the younji housekeeper and her first cake? She was no careful to have the fruit and eggs and sugar, etc., just right, and couldn't guess why the cake was a failure, till her husband asked why she hadn't put in any flour. The grocer had failed to deliver it. Many a man arranging to build a house or factory thinks everything is provided, and when he is ready to begin work finds that the lumber is not delivered. Lumber is of no use unless it is on the spot and until it comes, nothing else is of any use, either. All you can do is to wait and to pay the workmen for the time spent in waiting. This is the vuy we look at it : No service, no lumber; . No lumber, no building. That is why our first word is SERVICE. Some day you'll build. If you want your building finished on time, see that the lumber comes from LLOYD. , William M. Lloyd Company ESTABLISHED 186J 29th Street and Ridg Avenue, Philadelphia !
