Ode In May

By Sir William Watson

What is so sweet and dear

As a prosperous morn in May'

The confident prime of the day, And the dauntless youth of the year, When nothing that asks for bliss, Asking aright, is denied,

And half of the world a bridegroom is, And half of the world a bride.

Laughter

Laughter, while it lasts, slackens and unbraces the mind, weakens the faculties, and causes a kind of remission and dissolution in all the pgwers of the soul; and thus far it may be looked upon as a weakness in the composition of human nature. But if we consider the frequent reliefs we receive from it, and how often it breaks the gloom which is apt to depress the mind and damp our spirits, with transient, unexpected gleams of joy, one would take care not to grow too wise for so great a pleasure of life.-Addison.

The Wrong Side

"Better plead guilty," said Sam's lawyer, "The judge will give you only two years in jail at the outside."

"Yassuh," replied the colored man dubiously, "de trouble is, dem two yeahs at de outside will be on de inside."

Old House

He who loves an old house

Never loves in vain, How can an old house

Used to sun and rain, To lilac and larkspur, And an elm above, Ever fail to answer The heart that gives it love?

A woman can forgive a man for the harm he does her, but she can never forgive him for the sacrifices he makes on her account.

-W. Somerset Maugham.

JUST A LITTLE SHORT OF IT

"Melvin! Melvin!"

"What. Ma?"

"Are you spitting in the fish bowl?"

"No, but I been comin' pretty close."

Sadly Thinking

By Cy \llfarman

I am feeling sad and lonely

While reflecting on the past.

It ain't about the roses

That have withered in the blast. It ain't about the summer skies; Nor the blossoms that have fell, But I am thinking, sadly thinking Of the folks that's gone to hell.

And even more depressing

Are the thoughts that now arise, And the tears of hot resentment

Come unbidden to my eyes; And with each haunting recollection, More bitter grows my u/oe, I am thinking, sadly thinking Of the folks that ought to go.

In A Hurry

The drunk hailed a cab and fell into the back seat. "Shay, driverr" he ordered, ttdrive me around the block a hundred timesh."

The driver was startled, but he obliged just the same. Around and around the block they went. And on the sixtyfifth lap, the stew leaned over to the driver.

"Step on it, buddy," he hiccoughed, "I'm in a hurry."

Marriage: A community consisting ofa master, mistress, and two slaves, making in all, two.

-Ambrose Bierce.

Dentist: You needn't open your mouth any wider. I pull your tooth I expect to stand outside.

The Dogs Await

My granddad, viewing earth's worn cogs, Said things were going to the dogs; His granddad in his house of logs, Said things were going to the dogs; His granddad in the Flemish bogs, Said things were Boing to the dogs; His granddad in his old skin togs, Said things were going to the dogs; There's one thing that I have to stateThe dogs have had a good long wait.

\(/alter Scrim Visits Texas New West Coast Lumber Freight Ratc M.p

The Traffic Department of the West Coast Lumberman's Association has performed what one Pacific Northwest newspaper describes as "a miracle, in presenting lumber and freight rates from the West Coast to all parts of the nation in a form that is readily understandable to any layman."

The rate map graphically pictures the lumber and shingle freight rate adjustment resulting from the recent decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission in the increased rate case, Ex Parte 123. According to an announcement by K. C. Batchelder, Association traffic manager, the map is the result of months of painstaking research, analysis and classification by Assistant Traffic Manager E. Hanson, and Rate Experts L. A. West and G. P. Gregor.

Walter G. Scrim, of Los Angeles, president of the Philippine Mahogany lmport Association, is shorvn here in a candid camera pose taken by the photographer of THE GULF COAST LUMBERMAN.

The picture was taken at Dallas, Texas, rvhere Mr. Scrim attended al.rd enjoyed the fifty-second annual convention of The Lumbermen's Association of Texas. He rvas rntroduced to the convention as the visitor who had come the greatest distance to attend the meeting.

Appointed Secretary Of Orange County Club

R. M. Engstrand has been appointed secretary of the Orange County Lumbermen's Club with headquarters in Santa Ana. He succeeds E. Steffensen r,vho is now with Brown & Dauser Company of Fullerton. Mr. Engstrand rvas formerly secretary of the Pasadena and San Gabriel Lumbermen's Club at Pasadena.

Back From Northwest

Harry F. Vincent, vice-president and general manager of li. K. Wood Lumber Company, San Francisco, returned recently from visiting the company's operations in the Northr,r.'est.

"The Traffic Department is not offering this as a'miracle map' despite the complimentary newspaper description," Mr. Batchelder stated in his announcement. "We are satisfied to describe it as a medium for providing a quick bird's-eye view of the adjustment in freight rates for those interested in the movement of lumber, shingles and other forest products from the West Coast. Rates from the Douglas fir producing region of Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia, to poitrts throughout the U. S., in transcontinental territory, are simply and definitely shown.

"The map is by no means intended as a substitute for the W. C. L. A. Freight Rate Book," Mr. Batchelder said. "Its function is to make visual the broad divisions of the great mass of rate information the Freight Rate Book contains. Those who obtain the graphic map will find it of real utility as a timesaver when only general freight rate information is required, or for ready reference in the form of a graphic index. The Freight Rate Book, however, remains the final authority and source for detained information."

The size of the map is 17"x27', making it convenient ior desk use. It is obtainable from the Traffic Department of the Association at a nominal charge of 25 cents for single copies. and $1.00 for five coPies.

Moves Office To Lakeview
