The company has made rapid strides in serving lumber dealers and building material dealers with a large list of standard building commodities. They formerly had quarters on East Eighth Street near the corner of Santa Fe Avenue, but in a short time outgrew their original qirarters. In the new structure all of the company's stock merchandise can be concentrated in one spot and under one roof.

"Those of our customers who have already picked up merchandise at our new warehouse have commented on the ease and rapidity with which they have been served. This commendation from our friends justifies in ottr minds the many hours of planning that went into this new structure."

It is expected that the cornpany will hold an "open house" for their many friends in the near future after they have had an opportunity of becoming completely settled.

Knotty Pine Used at Grand Canyon Resort

In a setting so beautiful and awe-inspiring that it ranks as one of the world's wonders and has attracted travelers from far and near, there stands an interesting group of tourist buildings-the Bright Angel Lodge and Cabins on the south rim of the Grand Canyon of Arizona.

This picturesque little village came into being under the guidance of Miss M. E. J. Colter, architect and designer for Fred Harvey, as a project of the Santa Fe Railroad and the Fred Harvey System to provide additional accommodations for visitors to Grand Canyon and to supplant the facilities of the famous El Tovar Hotel, built in 19O2.

Perched on the very rim of the Canyon, these rambling, one-story structures of logs, lumber, stone and adobe seem to nestle into their natu.ral surroundings and appear as an integral part of it. The main lodge is of log cabin construction with exposed beams, huge stone fireplaces and "picture windows." From the windows and the grounds the visitor is afforded a matchless view of the shepr rock walls and colorful ruggedness of Grand Canyon to the north rim some thirteen miles away. Around the main lodge are guest lodges and bungalow cabins. Their interiors reflect the informality and charm of the Southwest. It is here that Ponderosa Pine has been used so effectively. Knotty pine boards line the halls and many of the rooms. Their beauty, ' accentuated by pleasing finishing treatments, executed in the architectural style of the Southwest, goes far in making these structures truly distinctive.

The knotty pine in the halls is of honey color; in the rooms the woodwork is of a grayish weathered tone. One feature which stands out quite prominently is the color of the doors to the rooms.

Another interesting detail is the knotty pine furniture with which some of the rooms are furnished. The colorful homespun draperies, ornamental light fixtures and the pine-paneled walls give the rooms a rustic simplicity with modern convenience. The friendliness of the quarters adds much to a traveler's enjoyment of his stop-over at the Grand Canyon.

The Light Touch

A man learning to fly invariably holds the "stick" too tightly. He may even "freeze" onto the controls and cause a crash. He is tense, nervous, fearful. The instructor's task is to teach the student the "light touch"-the light, relaxed, confident touch that marks the master airman.

Many business crashes have been caused by men who tried too hard-who "froze" onto the "sticks" of their business planes. A man who is personally acquainted with many of America's most successful executives says that practically all of them are "easy going" fellows. They do not fret and worry and fear. They have applied the "light touch" to their jobs. They do their tasks with quiet faith.

It is when we try too hard to hit a golf ball that we top it. It is when we try too hard to make a strike that we have our worst hits in bowling. When we forget ourselves, take our time and relax, we get the best results.

The worried, hurried anxious man makes the most mistakes. He has less to show for his efforts in sport or business. Mastering the art of the "light touch" is one of the big secrets of achievement and happiness.-The Silver Lining.

The Hymn Of Hate

By Joseph Dana Miller

And this f hate-not men, nor fag, nor race, But only war with its wild, grinnnig face. God strike it till its eyes be blind as night, And all its members tremble with affright ! Oh, let it hear in its death agony

The wail of mothers for their best-loved ones, And on its head

Descend the venomed curses of its sons

Who followed her, delude4 where its guns Had dyed the daisies red.

All these f hate-war and its panoply, The lie that hides its ghastly mockery, That makes its glories out of women's tears, The toil of peasants through the burdened years, The legacy of long disease that preys On bone and body in the after-days.

God's curses pour, Until it shrivel with its votaries

And die away in its own fiery seas, That nevermore fts dreadful call of murder may be heard; A thing accursed in every deed and word From blood-drenched shore to shore !

Unjustly Accused

In moonshine districts, where the whiskey looks like water and is drunk like water, strange ideals prevail as to what intoxication really is. fn a village one Sunday afterno,on a man lay in the broiling sun, in the middle of the road, with an empty bottle by his side.

"He's drunk; lock him up," the sheriff said. But a woman interposed hastily.

"No, he ain't drunk," she said, "f jest seen his fingers move.tt
