is most carefully manufactured from this Oak and mak., a finished floor which cannot be excelled. All flooring lumber is cut to size while green and great care is taken in drying, selecting and grading.

Moisture content is carefully gauged and every precau- tion taken to reduce cupping and buckling to a minimum. We will be glad to send samples to interested dealers.

"This situation is manifestly lop-sided. Reduction of building cost is not necessarily dependent upon lower wages. It is largely dependent upon lower labor cost. But such reduction can be accomplished as well by greater productivity and efficiency of labor as by decline in wages themselves. This lop-sided condition of industrial readjustment is apparent too in the wood-using industries, though probably not so pronounced as in the construction field. The hardwood industry is not so directly concerned in construction, as the softwood industry. It is not to be expected, however, and in fact it has not heretofore occurred, that there should be any marked difference between hardwoods and softwoods with respect to fundamental conditions.

"You have asked merelv for a statement of mv views. Manifectly I cannot make an inteligible response"without' this brief mention of facts rvhich lead ine to the conclusion that the lumber movement of the country as a whole during the summer and early fall will at best be moderate and that thereafter a gradual and fundamental recov€ry may be expected with considerable confidence."

Hoo-Hoo Club No. 9

At the regular luncheon of Hoo-Hoo Club No. t held at the Palace Hotel on June 26, there was a large crowd out to enjoy the fine program that was arranged for by Frank O'Connor of the Donovan Lumber Co., who was the chairman of the day.

After the luncheon, president R. A. Hiscox presided over a short business session. Frank Trower gave a short talk on the Klamath Falls Concat. A. B. Wastell, Vicegerent Snark of the Bay District, told of the monster Concat that is planned to be held in August. Bob Buzzard, of the Siskyou Lumber Co., and Bob Inglis, Stockton, also gave interesting talks. Kenneth Smith, of Long-Bell Lumber Co., was the winner of the attendance prize that was donated by Frank Paramino. The second prize,.a beautiful redwood bungalow, was won by Milt Conklin of the HartWood'Lumber Co.

President Hiscox then turned the meeting over to Frank O'Connor who introduced "Kirk" Smith who made a big hit with the crowd with his Scotch stories told in his wonderful Scotish dialect. He then introduced Capt. Walter J. Peterson, formerly Chief of Police of the city of Oakland and an ex-captain in the Army, as the speaker of the day, who gave an interesting and stirring address on citizenship that was greatly appreciated by the large audience.

President Hiscox announced that Chas. Moody, of the Sudden-Heitman Lumber Co., rvould have charge of the next meeting.

Ted Lawrence Entertains Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo

Ted Lawrence, Los Angeles manager for the Hart-Wood Lumber Company, was chairman at the Hoo-Hoo luncheon on Thursday, July 10.

The Snark again made himself conspicuous by being late, and by being fined. He will have to crank up his Studebaker a little earlier next Thursday. Before turning the meeting over to Mr. Lawrence, the Snark told the boys of the completion of his plans for a series of lectures on lumber, to be given by Professor Smiley, of Occidental College. There rvill be five of these talks, one each for the next five Thursdays, and Mr. Rosenberg urges all lumbermen to attend. The lectures will start Thursday, July l7th.

Ted Lawrence first told the meeting of the cancellation of the Ensenada trip, planned for Saturday of this week. The San Diego Hoo-Hoo Club had notified that the government regulations prevented their carrying out their plans.

He then introduced Mr. A. C. Hall, Los Angeles manager for Babsons Statistical Bureau. Mr. Hall spoke very interestingly on the business outlook from a statistical standpoint, and then answered a number of questions that rvere put at him by some of the boys.

Jack Dionne made an impromptu speech on the lumber market, that was very well received.

He reiterated his prediction that the rvest coast market was due to follow Southern Pine, in an uprvard movement and pointed out that we were due for better times, and in a verv short time.
