The peace of the world again trembles on a brink that makes that of the summer of 1914 look like a sunny summer's day by contrast. These dictators think only of militarism, and militarism can only live on war. Just as it requires a fire now and then to keep people buying fire insurance, so it requires a war now and then to keep the warmad men in the saddle.
*rfrf
France trembles under the war menace, just as she has done for generations whenever her sweet neighbor to the East feels the blood lust. Italy assures France that she will help against Germany; all France has to do is help lift the embargo against the slaughter of the Ethiopians.

The little yellow men of Nippon, driving farther into Mongolia (like Italy seeking room under other guises) is snarling at those who oppose them; and the big Russian Dictator, who, under the fag of "freedom?" has established a Czardom such as the most demoniac Czar never dreamed of, announces in cold terms that he'll lick Hell out of the yellow peril if it doesn't quit crowding his way.
*rf,t
The world trembles. And well it might.
tt*:F
Here in America the economic situation steadily improves; yet creates a situation increasingly more difficult to understand. The headlines proclaim in clarion fashionand few voices are raised in disagreement-that business is rapidly swinging toward a high peak. It looks from the road as though that were true. Every business you investigate and every business man you talk to, tells you so. Yet look at the unemployment situation !
If we can believe the figures of the American Federation of Labor. UNEMPLOYMENT IS HIGHER TODAY THAN IT HAS BEEN AT ANY TIME SINCE TIIE DEPRESSION STARTED. Think of that! Their most
recently publicized figures show more than 12,000,000 men unemployed, which includes, however, about 3,000,000 now on the WPA rolls. They do not consider that genuine unemployment. But even without those millions there are still more than 9,000,000 unemployed, and in a country that looks like a boom.
* ,F *
Think of it ! These lines are being typed in a county where every business contact shows amazing improvement, and where a boom in all lines of business seems to be imMiNENt; BUT THERE ARE FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE EATING ON CHARITY ! Can you make all these things add up and come out right?
t ,1. !t
Yet, judging from business contacts alone, business conditions are steadily improving; have definitely advanced since this column was written just two short weeks ago. Nationally speaking the lumber market isin splendid shape, softwoods surpassing hardwoods in the way of pickup. With the country still swathed in its winter clothes, the softwood lumber business is amazingly active. When spring actually comes and the people begin to really work out-of-doors, it should improve still further. ***
And I can't help anticipating what will happen to lumber and other building materials this coming summer when the bonus money goes into the money-stream to the tune of a couple of billions; and the new farm relief cash begins to flow in copious quantities. It looks from the road as if we were entering into the spring of a magnificent lumber and building year. In fact, the prospects are so dazzling they hardly seem real, after the past five or six years of nothingness.
**rf
I can easily imagine that before the coming summer is over the manufacturers and distributors of building materials are going to be taxed to their utmost capacities meeting the high tide of demand. ,f**
But to get back to this unemployment situation. It is apparent now, and provable, that most of the countless cash spent to relieve that situation, has been hopelessly wasted. The charges of the New Deal critics who have been constantly so alleged, now seem to prove themselves. We have spent sums of money never before heard of on

this earth, except to conduct wars; and we still have all our unemployed; and in addition we now face a tax bill that generations yet unborn will have to stagger under. What can we do about it?
***
Well, we might, for the first time, ear-mark all Government gifts and loans for the express, direct, and inescapable purpose of putting people to work. Take the farmers, for instance. It seems that we have definitely concluded that helping the farmer must become a permanent policy with this nation. The new farm relief law just passed so de. clares. We have abolished the law of Supply and Demand so far as agriculture is concerned. No longer shall the tiller of the soil have to depend on raising and selling crops to make a living. He shall be paid for what he does NOT raise, just as he has been paid for two years for NOT raising crops, for plowing under crops, for destroying food, animals, etc.
***
The wisdom, or the lack thereof, of such a policy, I shall not attempt to discuss here. Apparently we are going to continue it, so why not take that for granted and see if there isn't some way to get some help o'ut of it? There are six million farms in this country. All of them have worked short-handed for years past, first because they had no money to pay help; second because the deliberate curtailing of crops made less help necessary. My humble opinion is that the farm curtailment problem has done more to create and continue unemployment than any other one conceivable thing. That men who plant and work only part of their land need less help, requires no supporting argument. Everyone knows that in the South the farm curtailment policy took countless tenant farmers from the country and moved them into the city-on the bread lines. *rf*
But, instead of saying to these six million farmers, "Here
is Government cash for NOT planting," we might say to them, "Here is Government cash, but to get it you must put at least one man to work on each farm," think what that would mean. At least six million men would go to work, AND THERE AREN'T
Such a program would wipe out all genuine unemployment, the additional help would produce enough to pay for their keep, the hopeless folly of the philosophy of scarcity would be reversed, and the unemployed would be employed at something REAL, namely, producing the necessities of life for a needy world.
Business generally ,, ;n:";g by leaps and bounds; but it is making little inroad on the unemployment situation. It may improve tremendously in the next six months; I think it wiil. But it still will only scratch the surface of unemployment, because the unemployed didn't come from that direction. The six millions of farms that are operating with a minimum of help have done more to build up the unemployment rolls than have curtailed mills and factories; and those same farms can solve the problem when they go back to a full time and full man basis.
,fx<*
A few million acres of idle farm land means a few million unemployed men. The planners haven't thought of that. They seem to think that cutting down the farms is a smart trick. That it cuts down the market of farm things, cuts dourn ernployment, and cuts down our normal balance between the farmer and his market, are things apparently not considered. I believe in helping the farmer. But I don't believe in paying any living man for NOT doing things. ff we don't get out of this NOT line of thinking we are going to have a permanent army of about twenty million people ON THE DOLE.

Winter comes slowly here. There is no reason
To bar the door too soon against the cold. IIer season mellows softly into season: Green into russet, russet into gold. Only the empty boll that nods and rustles
Over the clearing the opossum hustles
Only the Reluctant otr'ossum, and the amber that crowd the vines
Belie the honeysuckle's fragrant clamberThey and the dusky purple muscadines Are Winter's word, whispered withlazy breath. Here Summer sleeps-it never quite.knows death.

Thousands of channels there are through which the beauty of our soul may sail even unto our thoughts. Above all there is the wonderful, central channel of love. For is it not in love that are found the purest elements of beauty that we can ofrer to the soul? Some there are who do thus in beauty love each other. And to love thus means that, little by little, the sense of ugliness is lost; that one's eyes are closed to all the littleness of life, to all but the freshness and virginity of the very humblest of souls. Loving thus, we can no longer have anything to conceal, for that the ever-present soul transforms all things into beauty. It is to behold evil in so far only as it purifies indulgence, and teaches us no longer to confound the sinner with the sin.

The large Douglas fir log exhibited by Dant & Russell, Inc., at the annual convention of the Western Retail Lumbermen's Association held at Portland, Ore., on February 20-22, showing the method used in sawing the log into lumber and from what parts of the log the various grades are produced, created a great deal of interest among the retail
Tynan Lumber Company, Salinas and Monterey, and Homer T. Hayward Lumber Company, Salinas and Pacific Grove, recently took delivery of stocks of 50,000 feet of Wolmanized lumber, and other Northern California dealers have also stocked this treated lumber, according to a statement made by Chas. R. Wilson, San Francisco representative of the American Lumber & Treating Company, who says:
"Architects and engineers are specifying this new treated lumber in increasing quantities, and several large industrial projects are also using this commodity, which is comparatively new to the Pacific Coast.
dealers. The lines representing the saw kerf, which are shown on the accompanying illustrati6h, were actually cut to the deiltn of a quarter of an inch and represent the various widths of the saw teeth used in the manufacture of lumber.

Val Larsen, formerly with Chas. R. M,cCormick Lumber Co. at Los Angeles. is now associated with BookstaverBurns Lumber Co., Los Angeles.
"Lumber manufacturers throughout the United States are beginning to realize that it is necessary to process their lumber if they wish to hold certain markets, and in so doing gain other markets. Lumber retailers also are faced with the problem of providing lumber which will effectively prevent decay and termite attack.
"National magazines are publicizing the damage being done by termites, one stating that damage amounting to $1,000,000 weekly is being done by these destructive wood insects."
Mr. Wilson reports results of tests in very severe beds of infestation in Hawaii and Panama as revealing the efficacy of Wolmanized lumber in preventing termite damage.
Geo. A. Ulett, general manag'er, Smith Wood-Products, Inc., Coquille, Ore., announces that his firm has purchased the mill at Coquille formerly known as the Prosper Mill, and that they will spend 6O days rebuilding the mill to put it in shape to cut high class Douglas Fir timber.

Receipts of the National Forests during the first half of the present fiscal year (July 1 to Dec. 31, 1935) showed an increase of more than $155,000 over receipts in the same period last year. Total net receipts for this period were $1,@2,695, the U. S. Forest Service said today.
More than two-thirds of the National Forest receipts in the six months period was from the sale of timber, totaling $1,097,485. Timber sold from the National Forests is marked by Forest offi.cers and ,cut under Forest Service regulations'
Next to timber sales, fees received from grazing permits accounted for the greatest part of the half-year income. Grazing permits for sheep and goats brought $180,460, an increase of more than $29,000 over the same period last year. Permit fees lor grazing of cattle and horses amounted to $179,497, a decrease of approximately $10,000. Income from rentals by summer home sites and other spe'cial uses amounted to $109,946.
Twenty-five per cent of the total net receipts from the National Forests is turned over to the individual States, to be apportioned to the counties in which the National Forests are located. These funds paid in lieu of taxes are used for road and school purposes by the counties. Also, an additional 1O per cent of the receipts is used by the Forest Service for road building in the National Forests; in this way, a total of 35 per cent of the National Forest receipts returns directly to the benefit of the local National Forest communities.
