Lumber and Rabbits
You know the old recipe for cook
ing a rabbit "First catch your rab
bit." Just so in building first get your
lumber, and have it on the spot.
That sounds easy. There's plenty
of lumber yes, like rabbits, scattered
around loose. Perhaps you think you
can wire for it when you want it. So
you could wire for a rabbit but it
might delay your dinner party.
When, wise men plan to build, they
specify that the lumber shall come from
a concern that has large stocks on hand,
with ability to get more and deliver it
quickly in emergencies.
For emergencies always come in
building. They are much more certain
than rabbits.
rSome day you'll build. If you want
the work finished on time, see that the
lumber comes from LLOYD.

C.overnment committed an overt act of

Complaint was made to the Mexican
fiovcrnment on April 1 of this year, it
was learned, against the refusnl of the
government to grant permits to the oil
companies to drill. No answer was re
ceied until lifter the Juarez incident,
it was said, and then President Car
ranza announced no permits, provisional
or other, would be granted until the
companies had complied with the law.
Compliance with the law, it was said by
State Department officials, would con
stitute recognition by the cotnpnnies
that the Mexican (Sovermiient owned

ment, by direct orders of Carranza, to

drilling without permit, although the
lands on which drilling was being done
were legnlly acquired by the present
owners.
