Secretary of State Lansing will be back at his desk to-morrow. Never before in the his tory of the United States has a premier faced such a kaleidoscopic collection of international problems and perils as will greet President Wilson's chief diplomatic adviser at the close of his summer vacation. Only once since he left for a rest In upper New York a month ago, has Mr. Lansing been actively engaged in any of these problems. That was a short time ago when he went to New York to sign the treaty with Denmark for the acquisition of the Danish possessions in the West Indies. The most pressing ana Immediate of the problems facing the premier is the Mexican situation. It has reach ed the stage where a false step will mean the failure of the long diploma tic process which now seemingly has brought the two countries to the threshhold of a peaceful settlement not only of the Immediate differences between them, but of the sore spots which have existed for three years and a half.

GEORGE QUINTARD HORWITZ, Chairman. Little Known About Lumber It is surprising how little is really known about lumber. Of course, nearly everyone knows lum ber is made from trees. But very few per sons are capable of arranging the grades according to the qual ity. Do you know the difference between "Clear" and No. 1 quality? From a pile of boards can you select the No. 2 grade and tell why No. 3 quality is inferior? These are the things we have studied and when you buy from us you get the benefit of our expert knowledge.
