San Diego Lumbermen Formed Entire Battery On July Fourth

Edgar B. Culnan of Chas. R. McCormi;k & Company sends us the following very fine facts concerning the lumbermen of San Diego:

"It may be of sufficient interest to be worth publishing in your excellent publication to advise the lumber world that San Diego Lumbermen are strictly 100 per centers in matters of patriotism as well as in things pertaining to the merchandising of lumber.

On July 4th, National Defense Day, the writer being Captain of Battery F, 347th Field Artillery, it was necessary to recruit the outfit on paper to full strength, 136 men. Naturally we looked to our friends down there for assistance and they all responded very heartily. In consequence we had a Lumbermen's Battery. Quite a unique thing, at that, a whole fighting outfit of artillery made up of fighting lumbermen, for if a lumberman can't fight, then there is no such thing as a fighter."
