Following Business

One of my old "Favorite Stories" was that of the nigger who said he wanted to go to Heaven "but he didn't want to go wid no excursion." They're telling that one now with a present-day ending.

The colored preacher had discussed at some length the subject of Heaven, pointing out and picturing all the good things that awaited the faithful when they got to the "golden shore," and ended up by asking every member of the congregation who wanted to go to Heaven to stand up.

And they all stood up except Rastus Johngon, who op- erated the colored emporium for the sale of shoes, suits, etc. He remained seated, and of course all the congregation looked at him in wonder.

"Brothah Johnsing," said the preacher; "doan you wanna go to Heaven?"

"Nossuh," replied Brother Johnson.

"Brothah Johnsing," said the preacher; "how come you doan wanna go to Heaven?"

"Becuz, Pahson," replied Brother Johnson, "Ah'se a business man, an' Ah wants t' go whah business has gone,"

Farm Papers Tell About Lumber Philippine Lumber Production for Home Building for March

Washington, July 12.-Out of the President's Conference on Home Building have come many favorable comments on the suitability of lumber for farm structures. Models presented to the Conference showing serviceable, attractive and economi.cal home construction accomplished through the use of lumber have received wide publicity by that body in the rural press.

Two of the latest issues of such publications to be received at the office of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association are the "Washington Farmer" and the "Idaho Farmer". Both of these papers devote the better part of a page to illustrated articles showing the attractiveness and telling of the economy of lumber construction. One illustration shows a labor saving method of farm home framing and the other shows th'e lumber industry's "House for the Growing Income". This latter embodies the idea of starting economically with a small central structure to which additions are made as family funds will permit. The articles add to the suggestions of the lumber industry the authority that is inferred from a government recommendation.

Philippine sawmill production by 46 mills during March, 1932, amounted to I1,202,0N board feet as compared with 11,916,000 feet reported in March, 1931, and with 11,953,000 feet cut in February, 7932, states a report from Trade Commissioner E. D. Hester at Manila to the Lumber Division of the Department of Commerce. The Lumber Division understands that these statistics cover approximately 90 per ,cent or more of the total Philippine sawmill production.

Philippine mill inventories of 46 reporting mills in March t932, amoanted to 33,227,W feet as compared with 23,841,000 feet in Mar,ch, 1931, and with 34,109,000 feet in February, 1932, and 35,111,000 feet in January,1932.
