all the beauty and long life of the old hand-split shakes, but are really de-luxe shakes," he says. "They are 24 inches long and are manufactured from the finest vertical grain live cedar, and whether they are used on the side wall or roof they are more permanent than the standard building construction.

"These shakes make it possible to achieve genuinely interesting architectural effects. The strong shadows resulting from the heavy butt lines and the wide exposure are particularly attractive. And in addition it may be said that these shakes furnish splendid insulation against both heat and cold."

Pacific Coast Show Big Increase in Assets

Assets of the Pacific Coast Building-Loan Association have increased $1,326,197.55, or 46 per cent during the sixmonth period ending June 30, according to an announcement by A. A. Anderson, secretary. This is an increase of 89 per cent since July l, 1927. The association now has total assets of. $4,790,965.67.

A dividend of 8 per cent was declared and paid on the association's membership ,shares. Total dividends and interest paid and credited to members and investors for the past six month period amount to $114,735.82.

According to Anderson, the association has experienced no difficulty in loaning its funds, notwithstanding its remarkable growth. "The loans average less than $2400.00," he said. "Our low cost profit-sharing loan plan based on the old-line building and loan principle of mutuality, is so advantageous for the people of Southern California that we are able at all times to secure good loans. Thus we have not found it necessary to reduce the rate of interest paid to investors as some financial institutions have recently done.

"Pacific Coast Building-Loan association has accumulated more than four millions of assets during the first three years of its corporate existence. This has been done as a single association, without mergers or consolidations of any kind."

"No, suh," replied the dusky one, "Ah told 'em youall wuz jest good friends."

Woman

She's an angel in truth, a demon in fiction: A woman's the greatest of all contradiction.

She's afraid of a cockroach, she'll scream at a mouse, But She'll tackle a husband as big as a house.

She'lli take him for better, she'll take him for worse, She'ltsplit his head open and then be his nurse. And wheq he is-well and can get out of bed, Stre'll pick up a teapot and throw at his head. She's faithful, deceitful, keen-sighted and blind; She's crafty, she's sirriple, she's cruel, she's kind; She'll lift a man up, she'll cast a man down; She'll make him her hero, she'll make him her clown. You fancy she's this, but you find.that she's that, She'll play like a kitten, she'll bite like a cat. In. the morning she will, in the evening she won't, And you're always bxpecting she does, but she don't.

Newspapers

I don't know what I'd do without newspapersI cover everything in the attic with them.

I lie oq them when I tinker with my car.

I occasionally use them for wrapping paper.

I start fires with them in the furnace.

I put them on the chairs that I have to stand on.

I save the floors with them.

I have use for them a hundred times a day.

f keep them for the Salvation Army.

f advertise in them.

Thank God for the printed word !

But if George and John sit down and agree that $100 is a fair price for cows the Federal Trade Commission or the Department of Justice or the Department for the Enforcement of Technicalities are liable to get them under the Sherman Anti-Trust Act,-Slices.

Moisture Content of Wooden Box Manufacturers Lumber in Old Building To Meet at Klamath Falls

The following interesting letter on the subject of the moisture content of lumber taken from a twentv-vear old house was recently received bv the California- White & Sugar Pine Association from Ii. W. Lakin, general manager of The McCloud River Lumber Company, McCloud, California:

"A few days ago I had our kiln men take some tests of some lumber coming out of a house we were rebuilding. This house was built over twenty years ago and this lumber came from the inside of it. The Sugar Pine showed a moisture content of 10.67 per cent; the White Fir'showed 11.45 per cent; the California White Pine L2.20 per cent.

"One would have thought that these woods .were as commercially dry as it was possible to have them, and still the moisture was above what our usual shipments are in factory lumber, although alittle lower than in common lumber."
