By DEE ESSLEY
O Lawd give thy Lumbermen this morning de eyes of de Eagle and de Wisdom of de Owl; Connect his Soul to figure Lumber Honest; Telephone him in de Central skies to join his Trade Association ; Luminate his Soul to get a price; Pizen his Mind from Chizeling; Turpentine his Salesmen; Grease his lips to Merchandise; close his tongue with a sledge hammer from knocking his competitors' materials; Fill him full of fairness; Lectrify his Brain with de Lightnin' of L,ow Volume; Fill him Plum full of de Dynamite of Co-operation; Noint him all over with a Square deal to All; And set him on Fire. Amen.
