RECONVERSION

will talce less time in the lumber industry than in almost any othet you could rrdlrr€.

The sawmills made a fine record in supplying Uncle Sam's war needs, and we think they will do a nice job in meeting the country's need for lumber in the next few years.

The Quick Reply

The doorbell rang. Looking out an upstairs window the lady of the house saw a man who had the appearance of a salesman. She shouted in a shrill voice:

"I don't need none."

The salesman called calmly back: "How do you know you don't? I might be selling grammars."

Knew Hirs Scripture

A young unmarried clergyman was so continually chased by the single ladies of his congregation that he quit his pastorate and accepted one some distance away. Later he met the young and unmarried preacher who succeeded him, and asked:

"How are you making out with all those young women?"

The other said: "Fine. I find there is safety in numbers."

"Numbers may do the trick for you," said the first one, "but I found my safety only in Exodus."

The Drcrwback

Scientists report that there is a vitamin in molasses that prevents the hair from turning grey. But it must make it awful hard to get the hat off.

To Be Home Builders

To be builders of homes-not merely sellers of lumberis the God given heritage of the lumber industry, and should be treasured as such. Not merely to trafEc in the barter and sale of boards; not merely to labor with the desire to turn forests into profits; none of these things are the real heritage of the lumber industry.

The dearest thing to the hearts of any right made man or woman-next to cherishing each other and the little ones that Providence has sent them-is the desire for a home. It is a charm that creeps into the hearts of rich and poor alike. It is a bond of friendship between those who labor and those who are blessed with this world's goods. To own a home. To say as you return from your day of laborwhether it be from a field of waving corn or from a mahogany desk-"This is my hearthstone," brings a satisfaction so filled with goodness and so free from alloy as to deserve the name of blessed.

The home builder is the nation maker. You may safely judge a district, a state, a city, or a nation-by its homes. The ancient love of man for his shelter has gone down into song and story from ages that are now dim with the dusk of the past; the home that holds for woman "all the treasures of her mind, her heart" must continue to be a guilding star to the Wise Men of the future.

To be peddlers of boards is a little thing. To be home builders to a great nation is a title that knows no peer.

Got q Jcrp Lcst Nigrht

(They sing this to the tune of "I was drunk last night.") I got a Jap last night, a Jap the night before, I'll get a Jap tonight that has never been got before, When I see a Jap I'm as happy as can be, For I am a member of the Fight Family.

Chorus

Glorious, glorious, a squadron of Japs against four of us, Glory be to God there are no more'of us, For four of us can lick'em all alone.

Ecting Bhymes

Now I sit me down to eat, I pray the cook has got some meat; If they have cut down more on sweets, I'll crave no waffles with my eats.

Little spoons of sugar, That we never get, Sweeten up our Victory, O'er the Jap, you bet.* *

Where, O where has my little steak gone? Where, O where can it be? With those good french fried, Onions by their sideAll covered with good gravee.

How Sleep The Brave

How sleep the brave who sink to rest By all their country's wishes blest? When spring with dewy fingers, cold, Returns to deck their hallowed mould. She there shall dress a sweeter sod, Than fancy's feet have ever trod.

By fairy hands their knell is rung, By forms unseen their dirge is sung. There honour comes, a pilgrim grey, To bless the turf that wraps their clay And freedom shall a while repair, To dwell, a weeping hermit, there.

l,V}crt Success Is

Every time I do unto the public what I would like the public to do unto me, the standard of my service is improved, the public seems to understand, and, after a while I reap a reward. But that is not the big punch.

Reverse this plan. Let me treat the public unfaifly and see how soon my business will dwindle. And still, this is not the thought.

Let me suffer from chronic crookedness and a cankered conscience, and where would be the fun of living?
