Gives Stronger Slructures Of Lower Cosl

IN rnrsr soy bean storage bins wood again demonstrates its wide adaptability as a structural material that delivers the finest type of storage it the lowest cost Per bushel.

The development of modern structural glues made possible the fabrication of srong laminated wood bands. These bands were engineered to meet the load requirements. As the Pressure decreases at the top of the bins the number of plys in the bands are reduced. The wide, laminated wood bands in tension provide adequate resistance to bursting Pressures. Their broad bearing surfaces permit the use of relatively thin (tVainches) Douglas Fir flooring applied vertically which forms rigid walls and saves material.

The frame work supporring the conveyor housing, which extends along the top of the bins, consists of two timber Teco connected trusses. The span is forty-seven feet between the supports.

Advances that have been made in better and more economical use of lumber through wood lamination and the Teco connector system of construction, are well demonsuated in these bins. This cylindrical storage offers more cubage per linear foot of wall than any other type of structure.

Engineering in lumber will continue to broaden the field for lumberbuilt structures, because it will bring to our Peace-time needs better and more economical methods of building with wood.

3truilO tN TODAY'g tlltxlt-Today, more than in any other period, the home owner and farmer are more fully aware of the imponance of maintenance and repair. Notwithsanding the less than normal flow of lumber for civilian requirements, it is still serving these essential markets. Lumber used alone or in combination with other materials, will help you serve in many ways your city and farm customers.

Daniel Webster On Washington

The following belongs in every scrapbook. It is part of Daniel Webster's eulogy of George Washington:

"Other misfortunes may be borne, or their effects overcome. If disastrous wars should sweep our commerce from the ocean, another generation may renew it; if it exhaust our treasury, future industry may replenish it; if it desolate and lay waste our fields, still, under a new cultivation, they will grow green again, and ripen to future harvests.

"It were but a trifle even if the walls of yonder Capitol were to crumble, if its lofty pillars should fall, and its gorgeous decorations be all covered by the dust of the valley. All these may be rebuilt.

"But who shall reconstruct the fabric of demolished government?

"Who shall rear again the well-proportioned columns of constitutional liberty?

"Who shall frame together the skillful architecture which unites national sovereignty with State rights, individual security, and public prosperity?

"No, if these columns fall, they will not be raised again. Like the Coliseum and the Parthenon, they wilt be destined to a mournful and melancholy immortality. Bitterer tears, however, will flow over them than ever were shed over the monuments of Roman or Grecian art; for they will be the monuments of a more glorious edifice than Greece or Rome ever saw; the edifice of constitutional American liberty."

I Expect No Miracles To Follow Victory

A man to achieve anything in life will still need to live by the sweat of his brow. Life will still be rain with sunshine; pain with pleasure. There will be greed to check and evil to curb. We shall not impose a way of life upon other people. But, under God, a man who wants freedom, a man anywhere, can have our hand in help.-Gabriel Heatter.

In The Army

Every office boy who is going into the army usually says: "Wow, I'd like to get my boss under me as a private, ifIbecameasergeant."

Well, among the people who are sergeants and have under them individuals whom they didn't like in civilian life, are the following:

A taxicab driver from Brooklyn has under him a policeman who gave him a lot of tickets for parking violations; a man from Missouri has under him his ex-wife's husband; a young lad who flunked chemistry has under him his chemistry teacher; a wrestler, barred from working in Kansas, has under him the referee who barred him for kicking his opponent in the eye.-Parade.

In Ballymore

The boys go down to Ball5rmore to meet the lassies there, They love the sparkle of their eyes, the fragrance of their hair;

And O your heart would tingle as they dance upon the green, Each happy lad from Sheela and his beautiful colleen.

The boys go down from Sheela and there,s laughter all the wxY'

For all the girls of Ballymore are glamorous and gay, And when the dance is finished sure their hearts are founts of bliss,

For no one goes from Ballymore without a lassie's kiss.

I loved the town of Ballymore a score of years ago, My feet were always itching and my heart was all aglow, Whenever Sunday came around and all the chores were done,

And I could go to Ballymore to meet the ..lovely one.,'

I loved the town of Ballymore, but little joy it gave, Within its little churchyard there's an ivy-covered grave, And on a slab of marble there,s a name-my very own_

And O a mother and her babe are sleeping neath the stone.

I have no heart for rollicking since Mary went away, She's sleeping in her wedding dress beneath the mounded cIay,

And O it's f'll be lonesome and my heart exceeding sore, Tilt I shall sleep beside her in the sod of Ballymore. -T.E.B. in Chicago Tribune.
