*{<{<
The above is from a recent issue of "Vagabond Editorials." A good friend wrote suggesting that I run it again at the head of this column because he thought there were worlds of business men who need to have that thought driven home to them as often as possible.
***
This friend evidently believes in the philosophy of the colored preacher who was asked the secret of his amazing infuence with and upon the member5 of his flock, and who replied: "Fust, Ah tells 'em what Ah's goin' to tell 'em; then Ah tells 'em: an' then Ah tells 'em what Ah has done tolt tem."
I don't know. t'.r" U"lr, ,""", fhe same things over and over again hundreds upon hundreds of times in these columns, down through the years. And I frequently feel like the old story of the nigger who got the job working in the lighthouse on San Francisco Bay, and who declared that he had "de mos' useless job on yearth." Asked why he thought so, he replied: "Well, wherr de sto'm comes up, an' de fog comes rollin' in, Ah rings de lighthouse bell, an' Ah blows de lighthouse whistle, an'de lighthouse light jes' shines an' shines; but it doan do no good; de doggone fog hit jes' keeps rollin' in-jes' de same."
The President of tt " sl.r.l"rl "rr," Association told his members the other day in convention assembled that they should each of them individually adjust their production to fit the demand; and contribute toward an advertising campaign to keep their product before the public. Wise advice, good at all times, and under all conditions, but particutadty valuable now. As a matter of fact, there are just four fundamentals for the industry to follow:
First-adjust production tofit demand; second-don't sell for less than a reasonable price; third-create and discover new and interesting ways for using your product; fourth-tell the world about it. In only four of these four fundamentals bas the manu{acturing industry been lax in the past. They poured their lumber on the world whether the world wanted it or not; they took whatever price they could get regardless of its relationship or lack thereof to the value of the material; they did little or nothing to keep up with the public demand for change; their efforts to tell the world were languid, indirect, and largely impractical.
Naturally, when an in<iustry fails to measure up to its fundamentals, that industry suffers. And this industry has suffered. But we are coming again to times when the world will move, the business pulse will bound, and the great god Prosperity will again flaunt his perrnons in the sky. The past we cannot recall. But the future is ours.
After this long Gethsemane of pain through which we have passed and are passing, is it an iridescent dream to believe that the inertia by which this industry has beetr cribbed, chained, and confined, will be supplanted by an energized and coordinated intelligence that will at last bring that level of prosperity for which we have so long been hoping?
The other day I had a visit with a group of men representing a number of steel concerns. They were a keen, alert, attractive bunch. They talked building things. I asked them the direct question;-('\i!/hsn it comes to a big building job, how do you folks go about it?" And one of them replied without hesitation or camouflage:-"The first thing we all do is to see that the job goes for. STEEL; the question of which firm gets the order is of secondary importance." They were talking particulafly o'f sash, frames, trim, doors, etc. *{c{<
A famous economist of more than a generation ago wrote the following. See if you think time has proven or blasted his opinions: "There never was, there never can be in this world, such a thing as over pfoduction. As the production power of labor increases, the standard of living advances. When there is enough of necessities, the surplus energies of the nation turn to the production of luxuries, which in turn become necessities-mankind ever rising higher above the habits and conditions of the brute."

Heard a good advertising story the other day. A man bought a new car. Paid cash for it. Then the car turned out to be a lemon o{ the rankest order. The dealer, having all of his money for the purchase price, wasn't much intefested in the trouble the new car owner was having. Finally he flatly refused to do anything more about the troublesome auto. Whereupon the owner decided that the time had come to pull the lynch-pin out of the auto man's cosmos. So he had a big yellow lemon painted on the side of the car so everyone would stare at'it, and likewise the words, "Don't buy a until you see me and ride in this one." THAT ad got results. Even the factory sent a man direct to offer him a new car.

Many years ago when the famous agnostic, Col. Robert fngersoll, was lecturing one pight, reflecting caustically upon things as they are, a man rose from the audience and asked what he would suggest in the line of reform if the Lord should deputize him to remodel and improve the world. Ingersoll replied that the first thing he would do would be to make health conlagio,us, instead of disease. I can remember reading about that reply years ago, and thinking how surprised the eloquent Colonel would have bem had some wise man told him that health IS contagious. ***
I picked up a newspaper the other day and read the state-
Walter C. Ball, sales manager of the J. R. Hanify Co., San Francisco, has returned from a short business trip to Los Angeles where he spent a few days, together with Wendell M. Brown, the company's Southern California representative, calling on the trade in the Los Angeles territory.
ment of some eminent scientist who makes the flat declaration that he has discovered that health IS contagious, as a matter of scientific fact. Which immediately reminded me of Ingersoll's answer. Of course health is contagious ! So are all good things. Joy, happiness, enthusiasm, etc., are more contagious than the Bubonic Plague, and always have been. Our tr.ouble is that our fundamental impressions have come down to us from the by-gone days and ages of barbarism, of brutality, of ignorance, of superstition, of fear-fear-fear of everything; from ages when fear was everywhere like Serbonian fogs, and joy and happiness played but minor parts in the drama of human existence. ***
Mankind has always given more power to fear and all the other negatives that throng the world, than he has to the positive an.d real. Read Lewis Browne's "This Believing World," a marvelously written book. And, as he traces the progress of man from the beginning until now, he terminates his story of each phase of human life with these words:-"FOR THEY WERE AFRAID-AFRAID." :1.**
And Mr. Browne could well have brought his book up to include these present times, and this financial and industrial cloud through which we are passing. And he might well and truthfully have written: "And in 1930 man entered upon a period of world-wide depression and he stayed therein for a long, long time, FOR HE WAS AFRAIDAFRAID.''

He WON'T.
You have got to make him yo'r.rr PRINCIPAL BUSINESS.
Keep that boy-with his animation, his enthusiasm, his optimism; with his sweet temper and his cheerful grin and his love of fun;-I say KEEP HIM ALIVE.
For, if he ever dies, you're D-E-A-D dead, and don't you doubt it. They may postpone the burial for a while, but when he goes, all that's best in you-all that's worth while in you-is GONE.
Youth isn't a matter of years-it's a STATE OF MIND.

Keep your chin up-your grin working-your smile ready-your kindest words well exercised.

The Mayor's Committee on Unemployment has made the campaign a civic, non-partisan enterprise. It obtains support from clergymen of all creeds and representatives of all parties.
The Greater Buffalo Advertising Club was appointed by the Mayor's committee to direct the campaign, give it proper publicity and supervise organization.
Publicity is paid for by contributions from building material, decorating, painting, plumbing and electrical dealers and manufacturiri in Buffalo and vicinity. These firms also do follow-up sales work.
The main point emphasized in all copy is "do the. work s6'p'-11'5 a Civic dutt". The object of the drive is immediate relief and to convince the public that it is the patriotic duty of every financially able citizen to give his support. The following media are used: newspapers, street cai and bus cards, radio and billboards. Newspapers haVe been generous rvith editorial publicity, time on the air has
Jack Thomas, Coos Bay Lumber Co., San Francisco, was a recent Los Angeles visitor where he spent a few days on business.
1. Solicitation by citizens. The Advertising Club divides the city into se'ctions, lvith a "captain" in each section who calls on everyone in his neighborhood. The captain reviews the objbct of the modernizing campaign, stresses the point that home improvement increases the capital wealth of the community and that work done now helps relieve distress and hasten the return of prosperity. He asks the home owner to sign a pledge promising to do some work around his home immediately. When he signs the pledge the homeorvner hangs a sticker in his window which says: "This household is cooperating with the Greater Advertising Club Home fmprovement Campaign."
The pledges are not given to dealers for follow-up, as this would lead to a great deal of fruitless competition, but are filed at the Advertising Club headquarters, where everyone wishing to consult them may do so.
The pledges and window cards put homeowners under moral obligation to do work as promised.

Dealers may use many methods of follow-up, such as telephone calls, personal solicitation, letters offering special prices and terms in .cooperation rvith Buffalo Home Improvement Campaign. All sales talks and letters stress that the drive is a civic enterprise that dealer and homeowner must cooperate in for the good of the community.

"Be Kind to Dumb Animals Week," is an annual nightmare to me, it is so.
"Be kind to animals," they said, And so I left the city, And in the country sought for brutes To love, caress, and pity.
I salv a cor,v with gentle eyes Surrounded by a fence, I went to her and whispered "soh," At which she took offense.
She called her husband from the field, He chased me up a tree, And kept me there for two long hours In mortal agony.
At length he turned his head aside, I tried to sneak arvav, Whereat a dog and two mean goats Got mixed up in the fray.
A hen rvith chickens showed her wrath, A cat meyowled and scratched, Two gobblers and a hissing goose Most bitter language matched.
A snake coiled up and hissed at me, A donkey kicked and brayed- I can't be kind to animals When I am sore afraid.
So in my peaceful home that night I made this promise true: When next I'm kind to animals, I'11 meet them at the zoo.

the line of the California Western railroad to Willits, where it rvas taken over by the Northwestern Pacific.
The fifty cars carried approximately 1,10O,000 feet of milled lumber and six locomotives were pressed into service to move it.
At each stopping place, where cars were dropped off, elaborate ceremonies were conducted under the auspices of local ,chambers of commerce and service clubs, with bands and crowds of citizens on hand to fittingly welcome the train and speed the ".corpse" to his final resting place.
Officials of the Northwestern Pa'cific, who handled the train declared it to be the largest unit shipment of Redwood lumber in the history of the industry.
Newspapers throughout California featured the "Prosperity Special" and the Union Lumber Co. for its enterprise in arranging for it with commendatory articles, while the story of the return of prosperity to.the Redwood Empire was flashed over the wires by the Associated Press, United Press and other wire news agencies.

The Pioneer Paper Company states that in response to- a wide spread demand on the pirt of home-owners throughout the West, they are announcing their newest shingle, T'ripletabs.
Describing this new product, officials of the company, say: "Tripletabs are an entirely new departure from t-he accepted rhtp"rof roofing shingles, biing madewith obliquely notched tabs, of a distinctly modern and retreshing tharacter. Tripletabs efiectively express the _current note in design, that of modernism. and will harmonize well with any type of home. A distinct advantage.of the new shingle is that they may be applied in several different roof designs, thus enabling the lumber dealer to offer his customer a variety of choice. Perhaps the most important feature of the new shingle is that it is surfaced in the new Forestry Blend colors that have won such immediate acceptanc-e on the part of Western lumber dealers. The colors are Forestry Blend Red, Forestry Blend Blue, Forestry Blend Green, and Forestry Blend Black."

At the Paramount Hollywood studios, Van Nest Polglase first designs the sets. He has read the script and can picture the backgrounds of the players. From the blueprints, the studios' planing mill under foremanship of Charles Cook, of Harry Strite's construction staff, prepares the sets in units for such a picture as Clara Bow's first straight dramatic vehicle, "Kick In." In the mill and the adjoining "prop shop" are an average of fifty-five men, with more than an acre of floor space, dotted with machinery. There are two stickers, four cutoff saws, six ripsaws, four joiners, four bandsa\,vs, one boring machine, one mortising machine, two table model variety saws, one planer, one re-saw machine, one jigsaw, two lathes, one drill press and a general machine shop.
Figures from the files of Maurice Alexander, chief storekeeper, show that over 2,000,000 feet of lumber were used in Paramount's set-building enterprises during 1930! This is
Bill Wright, of the Wright Lumber Co., Stockton, and Wright & Prestley, Sacramento, was a recent business visitor to the San Francisco Bay district.
Mr. Wright has a large acquaintance among the lumber fraternity in the Bay district and all over Northern California, and he comes by this naturally, as his experience in the business dates back 30 years. Of this period he spent 14 years in the service of Pope & Talbot, San Fran,cisco, five years with the Sunset Lunrber Company, Oakland, and five years with A. S. Carmen at Benicia.

T'he units built in the mill and painted are handled on an overhead monorail system that circumnavigates the entire 27-acre studio property. On the assembling stage they are handled by overhead hoists, and the completed set.on the shooting stage may be altered at will because the units are "jockey walls," easily lifted out of place for an unexpected camera angrle.
From the designs to the lighted set the greatest efficiency prevails in all processes, belying the studio. tradition ol "waste."

President Hoover (Wednesday, April 8, at L2:3O P. M.) extended his personal greeting to "You Can Make It" contest winners of three states who called at the White House.
The three youths whose excellency in handicraft work resulted in their rvinning free trips to the national capital include George Easter, Jacksonville, Florida; Thorleif Knudtzen, Oak Park, Illinois, and Wilfred Schurink, Mobile, Alabama.
The "You Can Make It" contests were sponsored by newspapers, playground associations and other organizations cooperating rvith the National Committee on Wood Utilization of the Department of Commerce in its campaign to bring about an intelligent utilization of both ner,v and discarded lumber.
Interest in the Florida contest was so great that an air transport company issued a complimentary ticket to Mr. Easter to assure him of the trip to Washington to participate in three da1's of entertainment as a guest of the Wood Utilization Committee. Besides the visit to the White House, the youthful handicraft experts were entertained at a special luncheon given in their honor. They were also taken on sightseeing tours in and near Washington and r'vere guests of several local theatres.
To win the contests in their respective districts, the lads displayed unusual ability in lvood craftsmanship. At Oak Park, young Thorleif constructed a "Karrosse," ot a miniature carriage, entirelv hand carved and containing only one piece of metal, a small pin fastening the front wheels to the carriage.
A neatly designed jardiniere and a pedestal of many colored woods were the prize rvinning entries of lZ-year-old Wilfred Schurink of Mobile. The jardiniere, and its stand, arising approximately three feet from its floor base, is outstanding in that it is constructed of miscellaneous bits of wood and beautifully finished in a dozen different colors. The article rvas constructed out of whittled pieces of discarded crates.
In the Jacksonville competition, young Easter exhibited marked ability in the construction of a speed boat which he made from a second-hand packing box. The boat, 16 feet long, only necessitated an expenditure of $1.30. It is driven by an outboard motor and is capable of making a speed of 20 miles an hour.
Many of the contestants obtained ideas and plans for their entries from the series of "You Can Make It" booklets published by the Committee. These booklets entitled "You Can Make It," Volume I, and "You Can Make It For Camp and Cottage" contain plans for constructing hundreds of useful articles for both the home and cottage.
Several hundred boys and girls participated in each of the contests, the results of rvhich clearly indicate that the "You Can Make It" program of the National Committee on Wood Utilization is receiving enthusiastic support in various sections of the country.

Many years ago I told in this co,lumn the story of the nigger who came back from the Arctic where he had joined an exploration party, with marvelous stories of how cold it got up there. He told of one day when it dropped to a hundred below zero, and. everything froze up, finally picturing an eagle that was flying a mile from the ground, freezing right there with extended wings and staying right there in the sky, frozen injo position. "But," said one of his hearers, "what about gravity?" "Fool!" replied the story teller, "doan you know'at gravity had done froze up a houf befo' de eagle did."

Washington, April Z2.-What is said to be the most thoroughgoing and piactical check list of lumber-requiring repailsand improvements that can be made about the averlge home has just been published by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. Printed in three colors on two-toned paper with attractive cuts and attention-compelling catch-lines, this .folder was specially designed to be used as direct mail advertising by retail lumber dealers.
It is a piece of literature bound to get the interest of the average home owner and make him think in practical terms of the odd jobs or remodelings his house requires. A specially printed return postal card, which is enclosed, ma\e_s it east for him to advise the dealer of the items in which he is interested and secure his assistance in estimating costs.
One hundred and trventy-one different repair or alteration items are listed under eleven headings, every one of them phrased so that they can be understood by the houSeholder, as well as the mechanic. The headings include work to be done in the basement, the first floor, the second floor, the attic, the roof, the foundation, the porch, windows and doors, the garage, the grounds outside and the general structural form of the house. They are listed in itemized fashion with sufficient detail for each item to give them a value for the man who wants to "get down to cases" and figure his actual requirements.
The following sample items, one from each heading, will give some idea of the suggestions made: "Alter roof lines for better architectural effect"; "Window caps requiring new material or flashing"; "Cover wall surfaces with more attractive material"; "Repair scuttles, trapdoors or other roof openings"; "Ceil inside of garage" ; "Build trellises, rose arbors, seats and flower boxes" i "Lay wood floor over cellar concrete for warmth and footease"; "Enlarge dining room windorvs"; '(Build seats over radiators"; "Build addi-

tional closets;" "Build cedar lined closet"; "Install dorm-ers to provide light for finished attic room." And there are 110 other items l-ike these, from building in a broom closet to re-surfacing walls with shingles or siding.
Sample copies of this mailing piece are now being distributed to 6;500 aggressive dealeis who have shown themselves interested in ttre use of such sales material. There is no intention to limit distribution except to those likely to be actively interested. Any dealer not on the .regular list to receiv-e "Lumber F'acts" sales helps, to which this distribution is being made, can nevertheless receive a sample copy upon requlst to the National Lumber Trade Exiension-Department, 702 Transportation Building, Washington, D. C.
In order to make this check list reasonably available to all dealers, the National Lumber Manufacturers Association is furnishing it in bulk lots on its customary part-cost basis. It is a self-enveloped eight-page folder 6 x 9 inches, which spreads out wher opened to a two-page broadside, 12 x 17 inches. In thousand-lots, these can be furnished to dealers with their firm name imprinted on both Folder and Return post card at a cost of. 2t/2 cents apiece, thus affording a high grade of direct mail literature at a price well befow what the individual firm would have to pay for such material, even excluding the cost of art-work, if it were to privately prepare its own mailing pieces.
Merchandising specialists have pointed out that this check list not only covers the high profit lines of the average retail lumbei dealer fully, but comes at an advantJgeous time, when home owners are becoming "modernizing conscious." Friendly contractors, they point out,,will gre"lly appreciate the receipt cf a block of the check lists. eontrictors have generally found business dull and will be glad to deliver the folders personally to persons they consider good prospects.

' A number of matters of outstanding importance to the Northrvest lumber industry at the present time were discussed at the monthly meeting of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, held at the Morck Hotel, Aberdeen, on April 77. This meeting lvas the second of a series to be held in the several districts of the Douglas fir region during 1931.
Subjects brought up for discussion included the following:
The marketing advantages to the individual mill and to the industry in cooperative selling in the Atlantic Coast trade; discussion led by C. H. Kreienbaum, Shelton, Wash.
The need for cooperative action by the industry in the export trade; discussion led by Major E. G. Griggs, Tacoma.
How West Coast mil{s can constructively develop their California cargo trade; discussion led by H. W. Bunker, San Francisco.
Does the West Coast lumber industry want intercoastal lumber rates placed under federal control? Discussion led by W. B. Greelev, secretary-manager of the Association.
The Association is urging all West Coast mills to give the matter regarding the proposal to put water rates under either Interstate Commerce Commission or United States Shipping Board jurisdiction thorough consideration between now and the time Congress convenes. Bills were introduced at the last congress to that effect, and it is expected that action of some kind on the bills rvill be taken when Congress assembles' again.
Improvement in the Philippine lumber trade over recent months is noted due to some demand from lapan and the coast of China, states a radiogram from Trade Commissioner E. D. Hester at Nfanila to the I-urnber Division of the Department of Commerce. The usual seasonal orders by local yards are also tending to improve the lumber trade. One sawmill rvhich burned last fall is reopening and will tend to increase production of Philippine lumber.
John P. Hemphill, Madera, Calif., general manager of Madera Sugar Pine Co., has returned from a business the trip in the east where he spent several weeks visiting the variqus lumber consuming centers.
Frank L. Campbell, Chicago, I11., sales manager of the Masonite Corporation, was a recent visitor at the offices of Hills & Hamilton, of San Francisco, and W. P. Frambes, of Los Angeles, their California representatives. Be{ore coming to California, he called on their representatives in the Northrvest.
Burnett & Sons planing mill now located at Twelfth and North B Street, Sacramento, will move about May 1 to their new site which is located between Tenth and Twelfth and B and C streets. Leroy J. Miller is manager of the firm.
