This comparer with 45.OG per cent of capacity for the preceding week and with an average of 64 per cent of capacity from January I to June 1. Since the week ending May 24 the indrutry hac been operating on greatly reduced rchedulec, r,esulting, according to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, in a total reduction of oulpu! durrng these eight weeksr.of approximately 36410O0'000 board feet. This is over two we€kE' production for tfie entire indurtry of Oregon, Warhington and British Columbia, according to the Araociation, at present operating scheduler.

Production, orden, and ahipments at 222 mnlb for the week ended JuIy 19 were reported to the Association as followr : Production 122,155,566 feet, Ord'err 1 4315901363 feet, and Shipmentr 144,720,139 feet. With production unusually low, new businesr for the week war in e:rcess of current cutting by 17.54 per cent and shipments were 18.47 per cent over the output.

The California market does not show any particular change, but manufacturerg and wholesalerr are looking for an improvement during the month of August-they report that the production curtailment at tte mills has more than ofrret the slackening ofi in demand during July and they are confident that Augurt will see better prices. A new retail price list war recently issued in Lor Angeles and retail quo-

tations are showing gfeater uniformity thab for some timc. Lath ir scarce and pricer on this item are strong. Unsold stocks at San Pedro totaled 9,7551000 feet on July 23. There are 5l veuels in the California servite tied up.

By Jack Dionne

Why can't these lumber problerns be settled like in the oil industry? The lumber industry would be in decent shape today, even with our reduced volume of consumption, if we were making a decent profit on what we sell. But the competition of the jungle, the law of tooth and fang, is loose in this industry. So it was in the oil industry in California for some time past. Gasoline dropped as low as five cents per gallon, and like lumber, every sale marked a loss. One big company took the l,ead, announced that on a certain date it would raise its price to l9f cents per gallon and keep it there whether they sold any gas or not. All the others followed suit, and the gas war was over. Wouldn't it be grand if we could find some way to do that with the lumber business right now?

Heavy curtailment r, ,"r"0", production continues everywhere. It is heavier even than is generally known. Plenty of big milling firms are making a minimum of lumber who are saying nothing about it for fear of adding news of depression. But the curtailment, due entirely to the inabil,ity of the mills to sell a normal production of lumber, is having its effect. And when buying again approaches normalcy, the climb to decent price levels will not be a long one. As far as small mills are concerned, they cannot live in conditions like these, and nearly every little mill in the entire country has been closed for months.

"The New Era of *"r"iurrlr"rl* "", Reached the Lumber Business," is the headline and keynote of the five page advertisement in colors which the Weyerhaeuser Sales Company features in this issue of this journal. This same spread-eagle message will be seen in many other periodicals throughout the land. Not only is it a wonderful piece of publicity concerning the now thoroughly completed carton package of lumber selling and shipping of this concern, but, coming as it does at a time when most lumber concerns are "pulling in their horns" and cutting do,wn their advertising expense, it will cause much interested cqmment, and will more than likely stimulate optimism throughout the industry. It indicates very practically that, regardless of times and conditions, Weyerhaeuser is going ahead and looking into the future-hopefully and confidently.

Hope and confidence ; ;" ln,r,r" that the lumber industry are very sorely in need of at present. We all agree that it is time of stress that tries the soul of man-not the boom times. As this is written things look somewhat improved in the lumber industry of the entire nation. Nothing erciting, but signs of improvement here and there.

When the National Association of Real Estate Boards met the other day, optimistic messages were wafted on the journalistic breezes. Just before the convention time they ir.ventoried the possibilities of borrowing money for building purposes in 46 cities of the land, and found that there is a billion dollars of ready cash waiting and anxious to be used for building purposes. But it was emphasized that these must be non-speculative purposes. No gamblers need apply. The announcement that the tide had turned and that henceforth the financing of necessary buildings would be enlivened, was sent out to the world.

That's good news. ""a -" ,J"U ,r, the newspapers that "call money" could be borrowed in New York recently for two per cent, and sometimes less. What a difference of opinion. The money available for building must be for non-gambling building. And you pay seven and eight per cent for it. While in New York the financial cetrters will loan money, strictly br gambling purposes, for two per cent. Funny world, isn't it?

Hambone recently ."rl.rl"o* an". Lincoln freed the slaves, Ford freed the mules, and Hoover had freed the working man, leaving nothing whatever for him to do. Little did Hoover and Smith think when; they were in the midst of their enthusiastic campaign for the Presidency, that they w?re fighting for the doubtfut honor of being appointed the official "goat" of the American nation for four years. How grateful that man Smith must be that the South turned Republican.

was talking to a big o"u.-; rianufacturer the other day, and he discoursed on the peculiarities of the lumber dealer. '(I have one dealer in a modest sized town who makes, an average of $500 a month just selling our line of built-ins," he said, sadly, "which is more profit than the average retail dealer in a town of that size is making on his total investment and effort, yet you can't get this average dealer to go and do likewise." True, Brother, true ! My good friend the lumber dealer isn't doing much door-bell ringing, nor is he changing his plans much from those of normal times.

"Practically all the O"*"i" i" "r" getting this season is that which we are creating by special efforts at merchandising," said a well known retailer to me just a few days ago. I had heard the same thing from the same class of men several times in the last six months. And all around us are dealers of the same opportunity who are creating no

more business and making no more effort to create business today than they were doing two years, ago. It's just the different ways men are built. Some are merchants. The most are just waiters.

"Money is tight" you hear from every side. "You can't get people to buy things," they tell you when you talk about'creating some business. How wonderful! Take Los Angeles ! Lumber conditions are sad. Peopl,e won't buy, they say. But more than fifteen hundred of these little golf putting courses have already been installed, and others are going in by the score. Close to five million dollars have been paid for installations. Half as much has been paid for leasing vacant property. And the people of the city are spending a quarter of a million dollars a day to play on them. Incidentally, a lot of lumber and cement is being used in their construction, together with paint, etc. But how does this check up with the tight money situation?

There is another lumber market that jumped up without the lumbermen's aid or assistance, that must be doing some good in these times. I'm still speaking of the miniature golf courses. They ought to consume more than one hundred million feet of lumber in the whole country this summer on their installations. Easily that. Just what it will amount to, etc., like the popularity of Amos and Andy, is a topic of national conjecture.

rrt*

Climate certainly has an important bearing on the matter of roofing materials. On the Gulf Coast I have seen 6 to 2 Star Red Cedar Shingle roofs utterly worn out, thinned down and destroyed, by the weather in less than ten years time. On the Coast of California you may find innumerable roofs of that same material twenty to thirty years of age, in as perfect condition as the day they were laid. That's why they call that great ocean the Pacific. Its coasts are gently treated.

LumberlndustryNeedsVision Red River Lumber Co. Opens Oakland Lumberman Says Exhibit At Minneapolis

B. E. Bryan, president and general mana.ger of the Strable Hardwood Co., Oakland, is quietly optimistic regarding the last half of 1930. In a letter to the trade, dated July 8, and signed by Mr. Bryan "yours for the uphill pull," he says in part:

"The first half of 1930 is over-it hasn't been as bad as some of the pessimists predicted. Those who are determined to play the second half "heads up" will find the last six months of 1930 reasonably profitable.

"Anygne who sells California short is on the wrong side of the market. This can be satisfactorilv proven by even a casual survey of the situation. In'creasing population, good agricultural conditions, and many other natural conditions all point upward.

"The lumber industry needs vision ! There are many signs to indicate that individuals in the industry are getting this vision and they, in turn, will lead us out of the "slough of despond" through which the industry has been passing."

Minneapolis, Minn., July 28.-A retail outlet that will also serve as an exhi,bit of lumber in its various stages, including finished products, was opened to the public of Minneapolis on June 9. The huge exhibition structure, of frame construction, with stained wood shingle roof, covers an entire block, and was erected by the Red River Lumb.er Company. Periodical variations will be made in the displays which range from lumber in the raw state to finished products, including motor-boats. Siding, flooring, panelling and other commonly used materials are on display. On the walls are beautiful examples of fine woodcraft-sandetched work on panels, and placques of Paul Bunyan, that romantic figure of lumber lore, used as a trade mark on all Red River products. Each item has been placed in a natural setting, illustrating its use. Open house was held at the exhibit during the first week of its opening.

Prof. Fritz to Edit Journalof Forestry

The Journal of Forestry, official orgari of the Society of American Foresters, will be edited ,by Professor Emanuel Fritz, member of the staff of the Division of Forestry at the lJniversity of California in charge of Wood Technology and Lumbering. Beginning with the October issue, Mr. Fritz succeeds Mr. S. T. Dana, now Dean of the Forest School at the University of Michigan, according to a statement just released by Paul G. Redington, Chief of the Biological Survey, and President of the Society. Mr. Fritz is well known in lumber circles where he is regarded as having a thorough knowledge of the problems that confront the industry. His acquaintance in the lumber industry and its trade press assures the Journal of Forestry a wider circle of friends and a strengthening of the cordial relations that have characterized the dealings between the lumbermen and foresters in recent vears.

Professor Fritz'was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on October 29, 1886. He was graduated from the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute in 1905, and from Cornell University in 19ffi with the degree of Mechanical Engineer. From 1908 to l9l2 he was an instructor in the Engineering Department of the Baltimore Polvtechnic Instiiute. H1 enfered the Yale Forest School in [gIZ and graduated in 1914 with the degree of Master of Forestry. -After a'half year with the State Forester of New Hampshire, he entered the Forest Service as forest assistant. In 1915 he Was assigned to the Coeur d' Alene National Forest in Idaho, and in 1916 saw service at the Fort Valley Forest Experiment Station, on the Coconino National Forest, in Arizona. He entered military service in August, 1917, and was mustered out in 1919 as a captain in the U. S. Air Service. In July, 1919, he was appointed a member of the staff of the Division of Forestry at the University of California to handle forest products and wood utilization, the position he now holds.

Mr. Fritz has varied his work at the University with work for lumber companies. In 1927 he spent seven months with the California White and Sugar Pine Manufacturers'Association and five months with the West Coast Lumbeimen's Association working on marketing problems. Mr. Fritz is a member of the Ameiican Societv 6f Mechanical Engineers, as well as the Society of Ameriian Foresters. He is a member of Sigma XI, Xi Sigma Pi, and Phi Sigma honorary scientific societies. He is also a member of Hoo Hoo and the local lumbermen's ,clubs of the San Ftancisco Bay region.

His contributions to the literature of his chosen field of work have been many and he has also kept well informed of the trend of the forestry movernent in the United States. He has been a member of the Editorial Board of the lour- nal since March, L922- The Society is fortunate to secure as Mr. Dana's successor a man of Mr. Fritz's experience in forestry and lrtmbering and intimate acQuaintanCeship with the handling of Journal of Forestry actlvities.

1leNeu) trn of Merchandisinq has reached the Lumber Business .

AtnEeoy more than 1200 proeressive lumber dealers from coast to coast havi welcomed this New Era. Will you join them in 1930?

The oast ouarter-centurv has seen sreater charrges^ in merchandising'methods thin the hundred years which went before.

Contrast the open cracker barrel grocery store of 1900 with the grocery of 1930 ind its shelves loaded with clean, attractive, packaged goods-and you realize how living habits and buying habits have changed. Merchandise itseli his changed. Sellin! methods. Display. Advertising.

Industrv after industrv has felt the new spirit. Business after business has changed its viewpoint and revised its ways.

Now the new era of merchandising has reached the retail lumber business.

EeCrf of the dots on the map above represents a retail lumber merchant operating under the 4-SQUARE Franchise-selling the 4-SQUARE Line-putting the 4-SQUARE Plan to work.

Two years ago_'an untried idea. Today an operating reality-a force that is making itself felt in well over a thousand lumber yards. That, in brief, is the history of 4-SQUARE.

Month bv month has seen new dealers added to the list-slowly at first, more and more rapid- ly as the conviction grew that 4-SQUARE offered the retail lumber dealer plus aaluessuch as he never had before-to aid him in making the operation of his yard more profitable.

Co-operating with Weyerhaeuser these dealers face the future with assurance of success. For them the new era in merchandising has arrived.

On theJollowingpages are illustrations of the items which make up the 4-SQUARE Line. Study them. Get in your mind's eje a pictuie oJ 4-SQUARE as it exists today.

Thc 4-S(-)LJ/\ll.l, Sign identihcs thc clcelcr r''ho sclls this nationallt' atlr.ertiscrl guaran-

'l+**--^**-'

There are thirteen items now in the 4-SQUARE Line. And every item car-

ries with it thcse eleven plus va/uar which mahe lumbermore saleable:

The new a-SQUARE label shows the length of stock in the package and describes it. It aids inventory and stock con-

trol- eliminates danger of delivering wrong lengths. The Tree Symbol ties up with the National Lumber Manufacturers big advertising campaign.

The New Era of Merchandising

You have seen the a-SQUARE Line.

7. Full Lengths Consider now the plus zsalues it brings to the selling of lumber:

Every piece of 4-SQUARE Lumber is cut to cxact standard length. This means that every lGfoot piece is 16 full l2-inch feet of qualitllumber' This is the first apPearance of precision manufacture as to lengths within the lumber industry.

2. Square Ends

Every 4SQUARE board is trimmed exactly square at both ends with machine accuracy. Ordinary lumber is not square at the ends and must be trimmed by hand, an expensive, wasteful job.

3. Properly Seasoned +SQUARE Lumber is seasoned stock. It is ready and fit for good construction.

4. Better CruJt stnanshitr, 4-SQUARE Lumber gives the carpenter a chance to do a-better, more finished job in less time. The hand trimming of ordinary lumber puts a penalty on the carpentei and often forces him to "cut the corners" to get the job done gn time.

5. Better Construction &SQUARE brings closer the day of ideal construction. Its exact standards reduce the chances for haphazard building. When ordinary lumber is used, thi quality of construction depends almost entirely on the skill of the carpenter.

6. Protected Ends and Faces

The 4SQUARE packafe minimizes damage to the lumber from the saw mill to the minute each piece is used. Depreciation and breakage due to careless handling are reduced. Ordinary, unprotected lumber is frequently damaged on ends and faces during the many handlings 6efore final delivery.

7. Better APPearance

Clean, bright, protected and finished, 4-SQUARE looks like the quality lumber it actually is. From

OF these plus values there can be no doubt. They are proving themselves day after day, month after month in more than a thousand lumber yards, large and small, from coast to coast.

They are Weyerhaeuser's ans\ter to the requirements of the times-the sure means of putting the retail lumber busi-

saw mill to construction, 4-SQUARE's fine appearance commands careful handling, reducing waste. Carpenters prefer to work with good looking stock.

8. Marhed lor SPecies

4-SQUARE is plainly marked with the species of lumEer contained in iach package. The buyer sees at a glance that he is getting the kind of lumber he orderid and is paying Tor. Architect and contractor know i nstantly ^that s--peci fi cations are fi I led correctly.

9, Markedtor Grade

A further Drotection and guarantee of satisfaction to the lum6er buyer is the full grade name appearing on everv Dackase of 4-SQUARE. Because of this grade mar'k theie can be rio mistake about quality.

70. Trade-Marked. and NationallY Advertised

The trade-mark on every package of 4-SQUARE Lumber is known from coast to coast as the mark of preferred lumber. Marked with this identification, +-SQU,qRE mast fulfill every claim made for it bv manufacturer and dealer'

77. Guaranteed. by WeYerhaeuser

Weyerhaeuser guarantees and makes it po-ssible for the-dealer to guarantee every piece of 4-SQUARE Lumber to be -xactly as indicated on the 4-SQUARE Label.

And consider the additional Plus Valuer the 4-SQUARE Line brings to the lumber yard itself:

Packaging Cuts Handling Costr from freight yard to the job. Cuts depreciation due to picking over the stock. Complete Identification on the label simplifies inventory and stock control.

Cokdut Packages- make. possible an .attractive display withrn the yard, catchlng the eye ot every customerin the yard, on the trucks and on the job.

National zldaertising makes the 4-SQUARE Dealer known as the source of-quality material. It gives him the long awaited,opp,ortunjty to apply modern merchandisins to the sale of lumber.

ness in step wilh progress-of eliminating the factors which have held it back.

The new era of merchandising has reached the retail lumber business. Will you be one of the merchants to take advantage of the opportunity it brings? Will you be one of those to benefit by the 4-SQUARE Plan as it exists today

-and by the still greater deaelopments now in 1>rogress?

A limited number of 4-SQUARE Franchises are available this year for lumber dealers who see the importance of the chanqe qoins on today in retail lumber

New Issue of "Moore Facts" of Interest to Lumbermen

A new issue of "Moore p46f5"-B,slletin 3006-pictures and describes many of the recent installations of kilns, and innovations in lumber handling and drying methods such as the new Moore's Swan Automatic Stacker, the Rankin "Air" Dryer and the Moore Shed Dryer for keeping kiln dried stock in perfect condition during wet weather.

According to the bulletin, the patented fan system used in Moore's Reversible Cross Circulation kilns may be installed in practically any type of kiln building and the new literature shows several of the common methods of installition, both overhead and below the rails and how the exact location of the fan system is determined by local conditions. It is further pointed out that this type of kiln sys- tem is exceptionally efficient even when installed in low cost wooden kiln buildings. It is generally known that wood has a high insulating value which makei it a splendid material for kiln construction. With the Moore iystem. low temperature schedules are carried and an enormous volume of air traveling at a rapid rate prevents moisture from condensing on the kiln walls. This in turn prolongs the life of wooden construction.

-By reason of the fact that this kiln may be perfectly adapted to inexpensive wooden kiln buildings, i.t iJ pointed out that now even th,e smaller mills may install the high- powered Reversible Cross Circulation system. Copies-of this new bulletin may be secured from either of the'offices of the Moore Dry Kiln Company in North Portland, Oregen, or Jacksonville, Florida, or from the Cawston Drv Kiln Company, Ltd., of Vancouver, B.

Opposition to Russian Lumber Growing

A rising tide of widespread objection to permitting the importation of convict-produced. Russian lumber into the United States is reflected in advices received from various sources by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association.

The United States Senate has adopted a resolution by Senator M,cNary of Oregon directing the Tariff Commission to investigate the costs at home and abroad of various species of lumber involved in the Russian .competition.

A brief protesting against the recent ruling of M. Seymour Lowman, assistant secretary of the treasury, in permitting the entry into the United States of six shiploads of lumber from Russia, has been filed by the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association. Two boats had been held at East Coast ports by customs authorities on suspicion that lum,ber was produced wholly or in part by Russian convict labor but were ordered released be,cause of lack of proof that enforced labor had been used in produ,cing the particular shipments of lumber.

The protest of the National Lumber 1\{anufacturers' Association declared that the evidence considered by the Department of the Treasury, did not support the conclusion by Mr. Lowman that convi,ct labor had not been employed in producing the lum,ber. To insist on proof that every board of a shipment was produced by forced labor, the brief contended, would nullify by administrative regulation the specific act of Congress. Evidence in the hands of the treasury department indicated that 100,000 prisoners were employed in logging and sawmill operations in the area from which lumber is being shipped to the United States, the brief stated. The evidence, lhe lumber association contelded, included numerous affidavits frbm escaped political prisoners and communications submitted by Ameriian officials at Helsingfors, Finland and Riga, Lat-avia.

Emphatic protest also has been made to the treasury department by the Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen. In a communication to Assistant Secretary Lowman. W. C. Ruegnitz, president of the 4L organizaiion, stated i"At the request of thousands of employes organized in the Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen of the Pacific Northwest, f. am protesting against your recent ruling as to entry of soviet convict-made lumber.

"These employes, as well as many thousands of others who aro not organized in the 4-L, are faced with insufficient woik and income due to short-time operation of camps and mills, and they feel that your ruling witt but add to their diffi'culties and to increased unemployment.

W. H. ENLOW AT SAMOA

"We have reports that some large cargoes of lumber are now on the Pacific ocean, and are consigned to the port of Seattle. We urge that you reconsider your rdcent ruling before this lumber is allowed entry. American employes and employers cannot 'compete with convict or serf labor, nor should they be obliged to make the attempt."

At the time the two shiploads of Russian lumber already in port were being detained by the customs officials, the West Coast Lumbermen's Association sent a telegram to Assistant Secretary Lowman asking that the cargoes be refused entry, pointing out the urgent need for protecting the American lumber industry workers from convict labor competition. In response to the telegram the Association received the following statement from the Bureau of Customs:

"shipments of lumber have recently arrived from Soviet Russia and been detained by the Custorns offi,cials on the ground of suspicion that it was manufactured or produced wholly or in part by convict labor. Other shipments are reported to be on the way to this country.

"section'3O7 of. the Tarifi Act of 1930 provides_in part that all articles mined, produced or manufactured wholly or in part in any foreign country by convi'ct labor shall not be entitled to entry at dny of the ports of the United States and the importation thereof is prohibited.

"In the absence of evidence that the particular shipments so detained were produced or manufactured wholly or in part by convict labor, and as the evidence at hand that lurn-ber generally is so produced or manufactured in Soviet Russia is conflicting and inconclusive, the Treasury Department has instru,cted the Collector of Customs that the detained shipments may be released; also that shiprnents on the seas enroute to this country may likewise be released on their arrival in the a,bsence of anv instruction to the contrary in the meantime.

"For use in the administration of Section 307 of the Tariff Act, the Department has been endeavoring for some time to ascertain with certainty the ,circumstances of the production of lumber in Soviet Russia and will continue its efforts in that direction. It has been much hampered in its investigation because in the absence of diplomatic relations with Russia official investigators cannot be serlt into that country. The Department is now assured, however, by the Amtorg Trading Corporation and other importers of lumber from Russia of their cooperation and asslstance in continuing its investigation."

Why Sell Grade-Marked Lumber?

By Kenneth Smith, Los Angeles

Kenneth Smith

That's it-in order to have something to StrLL !

You are a merchant. A merchant is a Person who sells his wares for profit. A person who transfers title to his wares without taking a profit is either a philanthropist or a merchant-on-the-wiv-out. If your aim is to qualify as a philanthropist, then tiking orders for lum'ber and delivering it on a'less than cost basis probably qualifies you'

If your aim is to qualify as a merchant, then changing the basis of your -etihattditing from peddling just lumber to SELLING a definable and guaranteeable grade offers the best long-pull solution that I know anything about'

A few dealers in Los Angeles are taking advantage of the oooortunitv offered bv the West Coast Lumbermen's Assoiiation to sell straight grades in accordance with American Lum,ber standardi pliinly and OFFICIALLY marked. The U. S. Department of Commerce is actively adv.o-cating the adoption by industry of what is t<nown as the "Certification Plan" to further ihe conduct of business on the basis of accepted specifications and commercial standards. The Los Angeles dealers who are offering grade-marked lumber are in siep with the procession and you could not do a.nything thal will help your profit account more than to-join them and give yourself and your men-a chan-cg to sell up to a standird instead of down to a price, which it has by now been amply and convincingly demonstrated does not return profits.

BOB OSGOOD RETURNS FROM TRIP TO TACOMA

Bob Osgood, Wheeler, Osgood Company, Los Angeles, has returnid from a two weeks' trip to the company's plant at Tacoma, Wash. While in the Northwest, he also spent a few days at Victoria, B. C. Walter Scheck of T- os, Angeles accompanied him on the trip which they.made !f 1ut9- mobile. On their return trip they traveled over the Redwood Highway.

If your volume is large enough to justify the making of a contract with the West Coast to grade-mark in your yard, get in touch with J. C. McCune or A. A. Kayser at the West Coast office. Call them up and ask them to come out and talk to you about it. If your volume would not justify the expense, try talking it over with the wholesaler, and the wholesale yards who are offering to supply you. The main thing is to get yourself in position to SET. L lumber.

Those of you who are selling grade-marked lumber should work together and work wifh the West Coast Association and with the Department of Commerce to let the great number of buyers who will gladly specify American Standard grades know you h,ave them.

You are doing the most constructive thing that the retail lu'mber business in Los Angeles has seen for many a long year-and you should work together to use every ad- 'vantage_ that being the leaders gives you in selling the qual- ity market. Let those who do not think there is a bitter way to merchandise lumber stay in the class where Oliver Wendell Holmes put them as long as they wish. You remember he said, "The human race is divided into two classes-those who go ahead and do something, and those who_sit and inquire, lWhy wasn't it done the other way?"'

Predicts 1930 Record Remodeling Year

Chicago, Ill., July 28.-Louise Bargelt, home builders editor of the Chi,cago Tribune, predicts 1930 will be the greatest rehabilitation year in the historv of the countrv. "We see remodeling mide simpler and more profitable for the home owner every passing season: That is, remodeling when a house has successfully passed two tests. Foi usually-a house must be adjudged structurally sound if it is worthy.gf -being remodeled, and also not iequire more than one-third of its interior to be torn out. Th6re are exceptions to this general rule, as to most rules, but, on the whole, it is a fairly safe one to go bf. Indeed, in most remodeling campaigns, as little aJ poslible is torn out of the old place but much is addbd to it-instead !"

I Sun Lumber Co. Encourages Owners to Modernize

Beginning with the weekly issue of July 17, and continuing for a period of not less than twelve weeks, the Sun Lumber company of Beverly Hills will tun a series of halfpage blind advertisements in the Beverly Hills Citizen encouraging owners to remodel or modernize their places of residence, stores, etc,

In a letter to all the Beverly Hills architects and builders, the Sun Lumber Company states: "Advertising campaigns of this nature carried on in many other cities have developed vast volumes of profitable business, especially for Architects and Builders, and if this experiment is at all successful here, a way will be found by us to interest others or to continue the campaign at our own expense.

"You are invited to make suggestions for advertising copy or express to us any ideas you might have on the plan,

and, of course, we solicit an opportunity to serve you in any way possible."

In discussing the ca'mpaign, Frank Burnaby, president of the Sun Lumber Company, says: "We do think that any individual lumber yard in a reasonably large or small community could well afford to spend a few hundred dollars in this manner not only for the purpose of promoting good will among builders in their community, but to make actual sales themselves."

The first advertisement which appeared in the Beverly Hills Citizen on July 17 is reproduced below. The second advertisement which appeared in the issue of July 24 was titled-"Is Your llome for Sale? $500 Invested in Beautifying and Modernizing Should Increase Selling Prrce $2500 to $5000."

California National Forests Set New Revenue Record

The eighteen national forests of the California Region, U. S. Forest Service, established a new highwater mark in receipts when they returned to the Federal Treasury froll the use and sale of natural resources, a total of. $1,647,3ffi in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1930, according to report by Regional Forester S. B. Show. This total is an increase of. $228,22I over the receipts for the previous fiscal year, and rnarks a 123 per cent glin in business for the California Region in the past decade.

The sale of mature and over ripe timber frorn the Federal forests yielded $1,195,64 of the totall. grazing fees for cattle and sheep using national forest ranges $212,93O; special and recreational uses, largely rented summer home and resort sites, $136,496; water power development, fi79,112"

As national forest lands and resources in California are non-taxable, the Federal Government, under existing laws, will return 25 per cent of the receipts, or approximately $410,000 to the State for distribution to counties in which the forests are located, for road and school development work. The Forest Service will also spend an additional 10 per cent of the receipts, or $165,000 on roads and trails in these same counties, making a grand total return to California from the national forests of $575,000. This cash return to and expenditure in the State is in addition to some 2l million dollars spent by the Forest Service on state, interestate and county highway systems within and adjacent to the forests, and for the protection and management of the national forests.

Forest Fires Do Not Pay

That the U. S. Forest Service slogan "Prevent Forest Fires-It Pays" is not simply a catchy phrase but is an actual business statement is proved by facts gathered by Federal and State foresters in a region of California that has suffered extensively from forest and brush fires, states Regional Forester S. B. Show. Hotels, cafes, filling stations and stores catering to the tourist trade in this region know all too well that forest fires do NOT pay.

The special investigation made during the fire season of 1929 showed that during a four-day period of serious brush and forest fires the registered guests at hotels fell off 88 per cent and that other business establishments suffered a 50 per'cent decrease in trade. The records indi,cate that be: ginning with the start of the fires all business dropped suddenly with a subsequent slow recovery after the fires were extinguished. This means an additional loss of trade over the figures given, which apply only to the duration of the fires.

California's summer playgrounds, located largely in the m.ountains of the Sierra Nevada and Coast Range, are attracting an increasing number of vacationists every year. To meet their needs hundreds of resorts, large and small, have sprung up all over the State. The success of such ventures, as well as that of other business directly connected with recreation travel, is an important item to the welfare of many communities and to the state itself. Forest fires are a detriment to all such business, since every large fire means a general and rapid exodus of tourists from the vicinity. Summer hotel and resort managers and other business men who depend on tourist trade need only to

EARL BO\,[IE ON TRIP TO NORTHWEST

Earl Bowe, Los Angeles, Southern California repfesentative of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, left for the Northwest on Tulv 28 to attend the midsummer meeting of the directois ind trade extension committee of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association which will be held at Portland on August 7 and 8. On his way north, he visited several of the Redwood mills in Humboldt County.

check their records to prove the truth of this statement.

Fire prevention then-is to the advantage of everyone who benefiti from the tourist trade, including all organizations that are engaged in stimulating travel, iays the Regional Forester. It is highly desirable to have more people co.me to California for J vication and especially important that they be induced to spend a longer time here by keeping unimpaired our scenic, wild life, water and forest resourcesall of which may be destroyed by forest fires'

Smokers and campers are the two most prolific sou-rces of man-caused fires-started by vacationists and travelers, and finding means of holding down the number of such fires is as much the job of thoie who benefit from the tourist business as it is the job of Federal, State and county foresters. There are many means that can be employed. Filling station and hotelmen, information bureaus and local business people generally can give verbal warning against the careless throwing away of burning matches_ and tobacco, or leaving camp fires unextinguished, at all times and especially when the fire danger is unusual. They- can use slogans in advertising matter and on stationery calling attention to the necessity for forest fire prevention. Fire posters can be displayed in conspicuous places. Sticke-rs ind leaflets especially designed to help prevent fires can be distributed to-patrons. In short, they can take forest fire prevention seri,ously, and help themselves when they help prevent fires.

"The prevention of forest and brush fires," concluded MrShow, "is your business, my business, and mighty good business for the State of California."

RELATIVITY

"The world is such a funny place," Remarked a topsy-turvy Ace, A-sliding down a curve in space; "But from this angle I can see No gently sloping theory I am inclined toward gravity. And even Einstein would compute That time and space are both acute When dropping in a parachute."

THREE NECESSITIES

There are three things a man needs in order'to realize the fullness of life and its meaning.

First, a faith which shall carry him through every storm without fear or despair.

Second, a goal in life which, like a beacon light, shall always shine in the distance, and which, like a magnet, shall draw him to it irresistibly.

Third, a sense of humor which will teach him to estabIish right values. Having this he will learn to win and lose, and he will know that both are life-that one cannot b6 without the other.-Clipt.

TWINS

"That makes a difference," said the small, boy as he clipped a piece off the left ear of one of the twins.

MODERN MISS MUFFET

Little Miss Mufiet sat on a tufiet, And made of her knees such display, That the old-fashioned spider, Embarrassed beside her, Was actually frightened away.

FEAR

Primitive man found it to be his worst Gll€tnf, the Romans built a temple to it, and man to this day, in spite of the advances of civilization, still cowers before the specter of his most disturbing tormentor-FEAR. (Silent Partner.)

ADVERTISING

This collection of cosmic forces which for want of a better name we call advertising, is remaking the world. Second only to machinery is its importance in the new and better order. Both have necessarily arrived together, for they are interdependent. The one creates wares, the other creates markets. A fine machine is just as great an expression of man's intellectual, yes, even his spiritual forces, as is any compounding of words in poems or books. It is exact logic done in iron, civilization's ranking achievement, an unmatched boon to humanity. And advertising is foremost among the factors that keep it in service. Togethgr machinery and advertising make up the fundamental contributing cause of America's unprecedented prosperity.Glen Buck.

Two old Scotch women wer.e discussing the war.

"Ayu," said one, "It's sad tae think o' a' the lives lost and the terrible destruction o' property."

"It is that," assented the other, "but there's two things aboot the war that gives me a lot o' comfort."

"Aye?" queried the other, "and what micht the twa things be?"

"Weel, we licked them. That's ane o' the things, and the ither. is the gran' help we got frae England."

Redwood Dealers not Just 'Waiting for Things to Pick Up'

"Evidence that live dealers are awake to the possibilities for securing new business by aggressively going after it instead of waiting for things to pick up, is shown by the way they are taking advantage of our Agricultural Service," said Max Cook, Farmstead E.ngineer, in charge of the CaliIornia Redwood Association's Agricultural Department, recently on his return from a field trip in Southern California.

Mr. Cook is personally contactin'g as many as possible of the California dealers included in the more than 1500 users of the Association's Agricultural Service.

Some 50 dealers visited on the Southern California trip last month ordered for their use in soliciting trade over 45,000 reprints from the Agricultural Series of Redwood Bulletins. This series includes working drawings, specifications and (confidential) lumber and cutting lists of a variety of farm buildings and accessories, such as septic tanks; poultry houses, barns, feed hoppers, irrigation structufes, furrow tubes, etc. (On another page of this issue are shown illustrations and a description of one of. the 24 subjects included to date.)

Although this service is quite generally in use by California retailers, Mr. Cook signed up 16 new yards in Southern Califoinia. He secured orders for over 60 complete bound sets of the series for retail yards and for yard presentation to others with agricultural interests. He also assisted dealers in outlining campaigns for developing trade by building and displaying subjects included in the series, using Association mats for newspaper ads, signs announcing availability of building plans, direct mail questionnaires, envelope stuffers, etc.

It is Mr. Cook's conviction that there has never been a more opportune time to put this material to work than now, when it is so apparent that if a prospect is to be interested in a needed structure he must be shown something morp inspirational than 2X4's and 1Xl2's.

Now The Wood Awning!

Cleveland, Ohio, July 25.-A recent development in sun a.nd storm protection is the wood shutter-awning. Permanency is a feature of this awning, which also has the advantage of not having to be stored in winter. Then, too. the positive elimination of flopping and rattling, regardless of weather conditions, is a strong selling point. Built similarly to the lines of the Venetian interior blinds, the wood shutter-awning is adaptable to any type of architecture and adds an attractive color note to any home-be it new or old. The manufacturers list the following advantages: defies sun and storms ; admits air and light; permits vision and ventilation; is adiustable from the inside, noiseless ; permanent; painted when the house is painted ; no obstruction to screens or storm windows; can be removed in ten minutes, if desired, for storing ; ffLay be left up the year round; built to fit any size windorvs or porch; eliminates getting up on stormy nights to put up awnings; will outlast many sets of cloth arvnings; fine for sleeping porches; already installed on many of Cleveland's finest homes.

Lumber Exports Decline Yields Large Revenue

During the first three months of 1930 there were exported from the United States 441,000,000 feet of boards, planks, and scantlings, valued at $18,467,00O, a decline in quantity of 27/o belorv last year and l5/o smaller than the S-year averag'e. according to the United States Chamber of Commerce. The value was 2l/o belou' last year's figure and 12/o lorver than the S-year avefage exports. The decreases were spread very generally among all important lumber markets. Shipments abroad of sar,r'ed timber rvere also considerably smailer than a year ago.

The decrease in lumber exports during the first three months of 193O reflects a loss in exports felt generally throughout the foreign trade of the United States. Exports of all commodities in January, February and March, 1930, were 2O/o lower than those for the first quarter of. 1929. Imports rvere also 2O/o smaller than in the same period a year ago.

Washington, D. C., July 26.-Probably there is no fruitbearing tree yielding a larger revenue, as a whol.e, than the apple. When fruiting days are over it goes to the sawmill. Economy of utilization is rigidly possible and the woodworking plants waste no scrap of apple wood in the millions of feet used annually for saw handles and pipe bowls. All cuttings left from the handles are employed in making the bowls. The apple logs are air-seasoned for three years, after which they are jnspected and sarved into propet lengths for the handles.
