And then there was the girl who talked so much, and, when questioned why, claimed her mother was frightened by a Winchell broadcast.

I have no quarrel with any man for differing with me in politics or religion, any more than I have for preferring blondes while I like brunettes. And in any contest of any fair sort, it is good, healthy, human nature for men to take sides. The fence rider is the sad bird.

Have you ever noticed ;i i"" a man is out of ptumb --out of line-leans either to the right or to the left-he produces in himself an astigmatism which makes him believe that every perpendicular person is leaning, and that he, himself, is perpendicular?

I've heard so much in the last few years about the wickedness of the rich of this nation, our selfish capitalists and hard-hearted employers, that I sometimes stop and wonder how they happened to build all the multitude of hospitals, churches, schools, universities, libraries, museums, parks, recreation grounds, art galleries, charitable and educational foundations, and the various other activities for helping the human race with which this country is so well supplied? And I cannot help wondering who is going to furnish these sort of things for the corning generation?

Eastern newspaper men asked William C. Clayton, the cotton king, to tell them something about cotton. 'Just this," he replied. "It will cost more to get our foreign cotton markets back, than it did to lose thern." Nix, Mr. Clayton. We ain't got that much money left.

"You speak often of coffee," writes a friend of mine. "Remernber, it must conform to the classic formula. It must be strong as jealousy; hot as Hell; black as night."

My chief demand is that it must be fresh. Not fresh from the roasting ovens; fresh from the pot-fresh made. Warmed-over coffee, no matter how good when newlymade, is punk. Use the proper amount of coffee, the proper amount of water, use an exact formula for cooking it, and then drink it fresh. And it won't keep you awake nights. But there is trouble in stale coffee. ***

There are many pictures on the walls of the office where I sit tickling this typewriter, photos of friends in the lumber arrd building business. A few minutes ago a visitor, looking them over, asked me how many of those men still live. I had never thought about counting them before. So I made ttre count right then, and the figures jarred me, showed me what an old fogy I must be getting to be. For there are 55 pictures on these walls, and of that number of men, 25 are dead. That old law of average works inexorably, doesn't it?

What memories there are on those walls ! While I have read some history, and have acquainted myself in the fashion of books with the great men of the past, instinctively I feel that among those men whose faces adorn my office walls, are some of the world's truly great. They are great to me in my garden of memories, and their shadows grow gigantic in my rememberings. And as I sit and gaze from one of their faces to the next, there comes to my mind those heart-tearing words of Justinian's father: rk :t ,1.

"And shall we never meet, and know each other Again, as we have known each other here?"

Reminds me of the verse that Grantland Rice wrote: What if the sunset's drawing nearer?

What if the shadows gather in, Thick with ghosts of the mates who've headed, Into space, where the comet's sPin?

Eyes to the front, though the mists are heavy' Life, at best is a brief parade, Keqr one dream in your hearts, my brothers, Nothing shatters the unafraid. ,ttl*

Wagner Act at this session of Congless. The Administration stands squarely in the way. Nor of the wage and hour act. That was coming up for amendments, but the word got out that if it ever got to the floor there would be some major operations so they "drug it back" as the old song says. It is significant that no state has passed a wage and hour law, although it has been tried in most legislatures ttrroughout. the country. There will be no "appeasement of business" steps taken at this session, either. The same old hostility meets every efrort to actually help business and capital. The fact that business and capital wants a thing, condemns it utterly. Neither will there be any material tax relief measures enacted. And, since these are the things that hold business by the throat and keep capital "sulking in his tent," it naturally follows that there will be no material improvement in the general situation. You can look for signs of another great spending campaign. Lacking normal improvements that include new and enlarged business enterprises everywhere to take up the unemployment slack, pump-priming will continue to be the order of tfie day. Otherwise there will be another sharp slump like that of late'37. And next Jrear, you will remember, is election year. The medal for the best quip of the month goes to a middle western congressman. They were discussing the farm administration program, and he said: "Things certainly have changed in this country. We used to pray for rain. Now we pray for drouth." ***

Here is a true story about a lumberman, the like of which you may never hear again, and the truth of which I will vouch for. Henry E. Hardtner, of lfrania, Louisiana,

Council Offices Moved

Offices of the California Lumbermen's Council have been moved to 1833 Broadway, Fresno. The telephone number is 2-7134.

George C. Burnett, Burnett Lumber Co., Tulare, is president of the Council and Bernard B. Barber is secretary.

ie called "The Father of Forestry" in the South. Forty yoars ago he began telling the Southern timber owners tha-t it was poesible to grow Yellow Pine sawlogs as fast as they could cut them, and as cheap as they could buy them. No one believed him. Today they all know that what he preached was true. Had they believed him then' the South would hold more merchantable timber todiy than it did forty years ago. For Henry Hardtner was the only human being I ever met who was in truth a prophet-a man with a vision ! He had a complex that filled his consciousness to overfowing, and he stuck to his guns until the truth of his preachings were acknowtedged by everyone concerned. But that isn't the amazing story I want to tell. It is THIS: ***

Henry Hardtner had a habit of writing important les ters in long hand, and then handing them to his secretary to be typed. One day he wrote a long letter in that fashion. tlis secretary had gone home when he finished, and he left the letter to be typed the next day. That night the car in which he was driving was struck by a train, and flenry Hardtner was killed. The next day his long-hand letter was typed-it was a posthumous message then, which makes it so interesting-and it concerned his efforts to re-grow Yellow Pine, and to spread the message to others.. He told the Bible story of the Ten Talents in the letter, of the Master who gave the Talents to his servants, and required of them a report on their stewardships. And Henry Hardtner wrote: "I can say today, Master, the land which You gave to me more than forty years ago has more timber on it today than it had when You gave it to me." When the letter first came to the eyes of his secretary, and of his family, Henry Hardtner had already gone to make his report, in person.
