Our Pup, John Silver

We have a pup that was wished on usA dear little, queer little ornery cuss, Four big feet and a mop of hair, Two floppy ears and a baby stare;

IIe's exceedingly friendly, infrequently riled And kindly disposed toward adult and child, So, we've named him John Silver.

Now he's not so bad and he's not so good, As the ways of a puppy are understood;

He sleeps in the sun when he's not at play, Sometimes he prowls through the woods all dayComes home with brambles and bugs in his hair

And we have to detick him, right then and thereOur reckless John Silver.

He bays at the moon as it tops the hill

And at midnight, when everything's spooky and still, He fairly curdles the roots of our hair

By yapping at things that we know aren't there; He's ruined four shoes and a garden hat, But one can't trounce a poor little puppy for thatWell, not our John Silver.

Sometimes when we tire of his mischievous play, We solemnly mutter, "Let's give him ayay;" Then he stares at us with his big round eyes And seems to tell us, "You won't if you're wise; My naughty pup habits are yours to break And my loyal pup heart is yours to takeI'm your dog, John Silver."

First Four Months Lumber Exports Below 1938---lmpork Show Increase

Washington, June S,-Export of lumber the first four months of the year, as announced by the Department of Commerce on May 25, was 3O4,D2,W board feet, a gain of.4l/z% over the first four months of 1938. However, comparison with the total 1938 export figure ol 947,453,@O board feet, permitted by the limited new trade agreement opportunities, shows the average of four monthly periods last year to be 315,818,000 board feet, according to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. On this basis the first four months of 1939 show a loss under 1938 in exports of 3.65%.

A more significant comparison is observed from the fact that last year's export was less than 1 billion board feetthe lowest in 4O years-while the export in 1929 was more than three times that amount. Imports of lumber during the first four months of 1939, on the other hand, show an increase over last year of 46.5%.

Comparison might be made with the 1938 total import of 5DP4W board feet; but the restrictive import quota on Douglas fir and hemlock was removed on January 1, while in November the requirement for marks of origin on lumber had been suspended by the new trade agreement with Canada.

Comparing the rates of export-import in 1933, the first quarter export is shown to be 28/o less than the average four month periods for that year, while the import is 7l/o more than the 1933 import rate.
