WHOLESALE Sash and DOORS

(Continued from Page 14) tion. We havc driven across brokgn bridges and never mentioncd repair to thc municipality and possibly scen a mctal culvert installed later. We have passed houses withotrt storm doors or windows and ncvcr bcstirrcd ourselves until we saw them shippcd in from the mail-order house.

To the general managers I want to say: Don't bc afraid that you will overwork. You don't. It is what you do bctween rorking hours that i.jures your health if it is injured.

To the yard man I want to say that whatever busincsg wc have it is to you that the credit is due, but if there is any manager here who thinks he is working hard I have the figures witlr me to show that he is doing $20 worth of loafing per month, and I also have the facts here to show him how he can get his salary raised the same amount with a profit to his company and will be glad to give these to any one.

Before closing I want to repeat that the three essentials for rejuvenating the home idea are:

First, that we give more attention to the principles of life as taught us by our fathers. Second, that the boys within the home be given more work to do; and lastly, that the lumberman make more of an honest-to-goodness efiort to help his customer build up that home and, with apologies to Dean Swift, that he learn to know the thrill that comes from having helpetl to make, bud and grow a new home where none grcw before.

PRESIDENT GODFREY:

\Me havc just listened to a wonderful addrcss-an address dealing with fundamentals. We have no doubt all wondered at times where rre are going; we have noted the activities of our young people, thc dispositions, the total lack of desire to concentrate and, as Mr. Mcflrath has said, prepare themselves for what is to come.

I don't know but what I could give an illustration right in point. f have a boy. I consider him a good boy. He was home last summer from school. During the period of a few weeks I had him in a lumber yard, second man, he got S2.00 a day. In order to give him some vacation before going back to school I had him rith me for trro or three weeks prior to the opening of school. I took him to the races. I think it was Labor Day. Everybody today bets at the races. The boy had $5.00 in his pocket. I said nothing to him. Coming home, he says, "Dad, did you make any money?" I said, "No, and I didn't lose any; how did you come out?" lle says, "I lost my $5.00." I said, "\Mell, Johq it was your money; you earned it; a man has a right if he uses fair judgment, to do what he pleases with what he earns." There are too many not considering what is the source of the money they arc spending. That which you accumulatc yourself you can do with what you plcasc, but bcar in mind tlrat ivery cent you spend. ia the loss of an efrort on sorncbody's pa.rt, and have you a right to spcnd $rat recklessly unlcss you yoursclf earncd it? I said, "What did you do?" He told me hc did this and that. They are all betting, and anyonc that isn't is wondcring why he can't do what others do. I don't believe you can develop thc youngster by removing the temptations. In the first plase, you can't rcmove them; or else you put them up in another way. I believe that in order to develop the youngster he has got to be so instructed and led as to be able to resist the temptations. But to come back to this incident. We drove home. He said, two or three timeg "Five dollrars;" then he said, '2fi days' wages shot in two or three hours." Have you got it? That boy had worked in that yard for $2.fi) a day, and he couldn't havc said anything that pleased me better than that he realized it. He said, "Dad, there is nothing in that."

Longview Mill Makes Record

By cutting 736,W feet of lumber in eight hours, the west fir plants of the Long-Bell Lumber Company's lumber manufacturing plants at Longview, 'Wash., set a new record for the plant. When the mill was constructed it was planned with the expectation that 400,000 feet of lumber would be cut in an eight hour shift.

Since about September l, 1925, the west fir mill has exceeded its original rated capacity by 1-00,000 feet each eight hours by maintaining an average of one million feet in sixteen hours.

Although the present Long-Bell plants at Longview are the largest lumber manufacturing plants in the world and comprise thirty buildings under thirty-eight acres of ,roof, an east fir unit equal in size to the west fir unit is under construction and wilt be in operation in the summer of. L926.

The Long-Bell operations at Longview will employ approximately 4000 people when the second unit is finished. The west fir unit has been in operation less than two ;rears.
