How's Business?

By Jack Dionne

The old story of the four men who put Srnith in a sick bed by telling him successively how badly he looked, is more than likely true.

You can do it with men, and you can do it with business. For business is like a man in that respect. Let enough fellows tcll how bad business is, and business gets bad, and gets bad quick There's no doubt about it.

Talking pessimism is like repeating slander. It's a weak, useless, cowardly habit, and one that business people should get busy getting rid of. Business is as subject to mental suggestion as the average man, anrd four or five successive remarks on how badly he looks will put the average man in a nervous sweatr run up his pulse, make him weak at the knees, make the perspiration break out on his forehead, and put him on the bum generally.

There has been too much pessindstic talk in the lumber industry this season. There is too much of it now.

Business is like a woman. If you can't say something good about her, don't tdk about her at all Evil forebodings are like evil germs-they are contagious and infectious both. Pessimists find ready ears to listen, and ready tongues to repeat.

Business is never as bad as people say it is. If it were, they wouldn't be in it.

You hear lots of business men say: "\llfell, my business is bad, but from all I can learn my competitors are no better off, so I can't kick" And THAT is about the weakest of alibis. The man who is satisfied with himself because his neighbors are not doing well, is a weakling. And that sort of talk hurts everyone.

I like the guy who was asked: "Hov/ do you find business?" And he replied: "By going out and hustling to beat the band."

And that other one who was asked ho'tnr business was, and replied: "Business is good -I make it good."

There is a lot in that. Just simply the act and effort that goes with trying to make business good, helps the man, hetps his business, and helps the industry.

Let's quit passing around reports and rernarks and opinions that create and spread pessimism. fire next thing we know business will be popping again, and we will be ashamed of the foolish things we said, and the fool predictions we made-

This business that we are in is sound. This district that we are in is secure. This nation we are in will break any man who plays her shott.

Let's talk optimism and courage and visio'n and faith-or shut up.

WHOLESALERS FOR PROPOSAL "C''

The National-American Wholesale Lumber Association believes that Proposal"C", to be voted upon at the coming convention of the National Hardwood Lumber Association at Chicago, merits the favorable consideration of lumber wholesalers for two reasons, viz: l, it is a necessary step on the part of the various interests in their efiort to bring about ah acceptable single standard of inspection, and, Z, that the adoption of the Proposal will be a constructive step in the relations between manufacturers and wholesalers.

fn communicating with the membership of the NationalAmerican Wholesale Lumber Association, president Charles A. Goodman says: "The National-American has always advocated a single universally acceptable standard for hardwood inspection and which, for years, the various interests have sought to actomplish. The result is the new standard rules as set forth in "Proposal C", which are recommended by the Inspection Rules Committee of the National Hardwood Lumber Association, the Hardwood Consulting Committee, and the Central Committee on Lumber Standards, on all of which wholesalers are well represented.

"Defeating this Proposal will not settle the question of gradin-g, but will reopen the whole matter, destroying what we believe to be the most satisfactory result of ydars of cumulative and constructive efiort. I think it would'be most unfortunate to open the door to further agitation, which might result eventually in more radical chariges than those now proposed. The adoption of "Proposal Cr, will dispose of the subject on a basis recognized tb be fair to all, and I believe favorable action will mean another progressive step in promoting the relations between maiufa*ctur.r. arrd wholesalers."

Don't Make the Mistake of Playing Southern California "Short" Says Frank Curran

"Don't make the mistake cf playrng.southern california 'short' or you'll lose y.our 4lbSaFfrahli-Currdn, of Lor Angeles, General Managcr for the E. K. Wood Lunr,ber Company, and one of the finest lumbermen and Irichmen that steps.

Frank Curran has been playing the lumber garne in Southern California for a generation, and he has learned by experience what he is talking about,

"What do you think about these conditions in the lumber businesg that you hear so much wailing about?" askcd a California Lumber Merchant man.

"I think," said Mr. Curra4 "that all we have got to do is remcmber that it'e the same old lumbcr business. It's just like it has always been, sornetimes up, and som€ti.mes down. Thinga are not the best right noml, but Ite seen them rnuch worse. Now we've got a good volumc of business, but a poor price. I've seen much less volume and no price at all, but it didn't last, and thie situation won't last. The next thing we know everything will be all right again. Wo know that Southcrn California isn't going to stop gfowing. It will accelerate, if anything. Two years from now thd buitding volume in Loe Angeles will be greater than it whs fc.ur 1rcars ago at the high tide. I am surc of that. We wi[ soon be looking back at these times, and trying to remember if they really happened.

"The thing we have all got to do is work a little harder, convincc eaclr employe that it is his duty to give the bcst that is in him, so that we may continue through this trough of the wave without cutting wagcs and salaries, rcadjust our vision a little and understand that with calm judgrnent wc will soon pass through the.slow times. We have a building volume here now that would bring prospcrity to any other district, and we must adjust ourselves mentally so that the ups and downs of the lumber business do not uplet us so much.

An Investment in Remodeling with Four,Fold Profits

l-Increased personal pride. 2-Protected Tunoucnour America originalinvestment. 3-Profitfronrsale. Smith was eble to mix new there are countless substantial- 4-Community development. lumbet with the. old, time.seaframe houses built years ago whose soned wood of the house because value has shrunk chiefly because they lack modern arrangements and do not conform to present day archi. tectural beauty.

u7hat shall be done with these sturdy old dwellingsjunk them? Sell them for "a song"l Abandon the value of fine old treesl Sacridce all sentimental attachmentsl

Certainly notl If the old house is built of wood, easily and economically you can remoilel it and make it again valuable, beautiful and livable. It is a simple marter to te-arrange lumber-made walls-to add to or take away inside and out-to conceal plumbing and wiring in walls and under floors.

Furthermore-

Remodeling may be done to fit the purse or income. It can be done "on installments"-the first year perhaps a new porch and dormers to relieve a plain roof; later new floors, enlarged rooms, an added wing.

This was what Smith did- -by step,

he used LongSell Douglas Fir, seasoned perfectly in scientificalh controlled kilns at the company's great manufacturing plants at Longview,'l7ashington.

Smith saved money without sacrificing beauty by laying Long-Bell oak flooring over the old floors-a special kind made for that very purpose.

Smith used Long-Bell windows and Long.Bell doors, all made of the easily workable California White Pine. In fact, Smith found practically every kind of lumber or lumber product necessary for the job right in his neighborhood lumber yard and all bearing the LongBell trade.mark of excellence*.

Retail lumber dealers have many ideas on remodeling old homes into new. Architects can show you quickly the possibilities you may have and your lumberman can easily estimate the cost. Investigate, then decide whether it is not time to remodel the old home.

NEW JERSEY LUMBERMEN VISIT CALIFORNIA

A party of one hundred 'New Jersey lumbermen and their families arrived in San Francisco August 29th f.or a two-day visit as a part of their tour of thi West while enroute home from the National Retail Lumber Dealers' Association convention at Tacoma, Washington.

T. W. JACOBS WITH CELOTEX COMPANY

T. W. "Tad" Jacobs, Los Angeles, is now connected with the financial department of the Celotex Company of Chicago and is calling on the Southern California lumber trade. "Tad" has a large acquaintanceship with the lumber trade in the southerrt part of the state and he has always laken an active part in Hoo-Hoo affairs in the Los Angeles District.

A review of the figures given above can not fail to impress one with the importance of the industry to this community. The numbeiof the Madera Sugar itioe co-patty employes equals nearly one-third of the population of the city of Madera. The company in the course of the conduct of its business, must solve all the problems common to such a community, such as light, power, water supply, sanitation, housing, feeding, amusement, and public morals. The operation itself represents an investment of between $5,000,000 and $5,000,000, and there is expended annually in the conduct of its business some $2,000,000.

Of E. H. Cox, president of the company and an outstanding figure in the early history of Madera, a recent issue of the California Lumber Merghant says:

"If any great concern is but the lengthened shadow of a man, as has been said, then surely this concern is the lengthened shadow of Elmer H. Cox. He conceived it, promoted it, for man)r years operated it- directly, and is now its president and guiding genius. It has always made money and has always been successful. Its product is sold in all the markets that know sugar and white pine and everywhere it stands for the besi of quality and satib: faction."

WEST COAST LUMBER BUREAU TO MOVE HEADQUARTER'S OFFICE TO LONGVIE;W

Seattle, Wash., Sept. 7.-Announcement was made here today by J. D. Tennant, president, that the headquarter's office of the West Coast Lumber Bureau would be moved from Seattle to Longview, October 1. An office will be maintained in Seattle, and a new one will be opened soon in Portland, the announcement stated.

- The-trade promotion bureau has grown so rapidly and its activities are now on such a large scale that the i3oard of Trustees in meeting this week decided on the change of location so that the principal office would be wherd the president, J. D. Tennant, could give matters of importance immediate attention.

"Since the death of Henry Schott, one of our Trustees and the first manager of the Bureau, our headquarter's office has continued to function through a period. of rapid growth and extended activities in a way that has been most pleasing to our Board and membership. A little more !!ry" year ago our Bureau had,67 membefs. Today it has 110 with the promise of many more in the immediate future. Our Board decided to move now because we are on the verge of greater activity and we want to be in a position to- take every advantage of our trade promotionai opportunities. Longview is the geographical center of t6e Douglas fir region and with our headquarter's office located there we can keep in closer touch with Oregon mills. And at Longview, where my offices are located, I can give the Bureau's business immediate attention from dav to dav. This fact, the Trustees believe, will be a great hitp in our rvork of pushing the sale of West Cbast woods."

Trustees of the West Coast Lumber Bureau present at the meeting, in addition to Mr. Tennant, were: George S. !org, vice-president, general manager of Weyerhaeuser Iimber Co., Tacoma; R. W. Vinnedge, treasurer, president North Bend Timber Co., North Bend; Ralph H. Burnside, president ]Vil]apa Lumber Co., Portland; E. G. Griggs, president St. Paul and Tacoma Lumber Co., Tacoma; C. D. Johnson, president Pacific Spruce Corporation, Portland; Myron C. Woodard, president Silver Falls Timbet' Co., Silverton.

The West Coast Lumber Bureau was organized in February, 1926, f.or the purpose of furthering the sale of Douglas fir, West Coast hemlock, Western red cedar and Sitka spruce, the four important West Coast woods in the United States and C,anada. It is spending approxim,ately $400,000 a year in field work and national advertising, extending old markets and creating new ones for these West Coast rvoods.

FOOTBALL

ft's back again! It's in the air! Everyone is thinking it! Everyone is tatking it! The season is about to start with the big game just a month or so away. Now is the time to read the rules and be ready to understand why is this or that penalty, etc.

Of course you must read the rules. Every year the "big boys" get together and change this or that, so last year's football education don't mean a thing to us of the conrmon herd.

For instance the new ttRugby Passt' rule, No. 17, Section 1:

"Any player may, et any time, pacr (hand or throw) the ball in any direction cxcept toward hir opponenttr goal line.

(b) On any auch parc (other than by the cnapper.back) on t{re 6rst, *cond or third down, when the ball rtrikec the ground o! goer out.of boundr before paring into porrcreion and control of e player, the.ball ir dead and rhall belong to the pardng ride at thc point where it strucl the ground or wcnt out of boun& and the play rhall count ar a down; on the fourth down the ball rhall belong to the opponentr at the raid point unlcer the required dirtance for 6rrt down har been gained.-

(c) If a beckward par mede by a player of the ride which did not put the ball in play, rtriler the ground or goe! out of boundr before paring into porcerion and control of a player, the ball ir dead and ehall belong to the pauing ride at the point where it rtnrct the ground or went out of boundr. The enruing down rhall be 6rrt down with ten y.rdr to gain."-Spalding'r Official Football Guiile, 1927.

House styles are like footbdl that way. Every year sees new fads and fancies. The god ones stay and the freals are forgotten. Sometimes god old features are replacd by some new turn, only to come back stronglater on, something like the 2o-yard linekick-off a few years ago.

Vooden walls, outside and in, were written out of the rule books a few years ago-but how they HAVE come back! Colonial Siding, Economy Siding, Novelty Siding and that BOSS Rustic ANZAC are here again; and panelled walls and beamed ceilings are popular once nore.

A Good Business Sermon

By lach Dionne

I had a letter the other day from George J. Orgood, the famous door manufactuner of Tacoma, Washingtoq written for the purpose of congratulating me on the leading editorial in a recent issue, headed-"Thie Funny Lumber Business.tt It was one of those rt6ysy-pro. duction or under-selling" editorialr.

Mr. Osgood remarked that "We gure are due for an old fashioned revival or this lumber business of ours is doomed." Then he made the following suggestion for another buriness tennon:

"For ten years past, every business magazine has been telling producers the advantages of mass production, showing them that volume output and attendant low cogtc is the remedy for all the ills the industry has ever rufiered frdm. W.e have had it rubbed in tlrat corts must be cut, but there has been no empharis on the truth that the first item of anyonets coct should be a fair intereat return on the investment, nor on the fact that if one operator has an edge on cocts and proceeds to book more than his fair share of the total amount of available businesc that he cannot long en-

W. G. SCRIM VISITS NORTHWEST ON PHILIPPINE MAHOGANY BUSINESS

Walter G. Scrim, of Los Angeles, the well known importer and distributor of Philippine Mahogany, has just returned from a trip to the Pacific Northwest, where he visited Seattle, Vancouver, Portland, and other poin,ts. He reported that the most interesting recent development that he knows of in the Philippine Mahogany game is the fac,t that the great Wheeler-Osgood Company, of Tacoma, Washington, are now starting to manufacture stock doors of Philippine, bringing in the logs from the Islands, and slicing their own veneer at their big Tacoma plants. Mr. Scrim considers that this will be a big advertisement for Philippine, but more than that, itwill sell a lot of Philippine Mahogany trim, since most people who install the doors will want to trim the room in the same materials.

joy a profit, no matter what his coat may be. If we could get the idea of cooperation as it exists in the ranka of sorre of our competitors furnishing cubstitutes for lumber, into o,ur systema,'and could get out of them our present idea of price competition, the lumber game would be on the road to salvation."

It DOES reem that thig is a good basis for a business Eermon, so ltve iust gone ahead and let lf4n Oogood preach it himself.

There is one correction I want to make to his remarks. He says "every busineee maga- dtre." I know of two that haven't been feeding the producers any thought of that kind, evei. Ever since wetve been publiehing wetve been trying to tell the manufacturerc that the pyoducing end is the comparatively unimport. ant end of the lumber business; that it doesntt require much braing to make lumber, but it sure requires plenty of them to create a marlret for lumber. We still hold to that thought. Make people want your rtuff, and the production end will take care of itself. Show me a man who can SELL lumber, and I'll ahow you a thousand who can make it for him.

No more defe ctive doors to sell at a loss

El^e, EMoodyCo. Seattle,Wcsh.

VVHEN doors give trouble, the annoyance and possible loss of good will are as important as the exPense. Laminex doors save annoyance and exl>ense because they do not warp, split or come apatt-they are guaranteed.

Unlike ordinary doors, the stiles and cross-rails of Laminex doors are built on a core of stress-balancing blocks and any attempt of one block to warp, shrink or swcll is immediately counterbalanced by forces in the opposite direction exerted by neighboring blocks. All parts, including the plywood panels, are firmly united with Laminex cement (a secret), which is absolutely waterproof and actually stronger than wood.

Laminex doors stay sold, creating repeat orders and making new cuslomers out of prospects who read rhe Laminex national advergising and see Laminex door soaking resrs. Write for information about the profits other retail dealers are making with Laminex doors.

"YeJ, we ated to baoe 'jank' d.oors at bargain prices, but not an! nzore -not since u)e'oe been ltand.ling Laminex d'oort."

Now you can safely recommend one panel doors

No danger of warping or winding if you use Larnin?x

r\-|RDINARY one-panel doors are more popular for their style than for the service they give. It takes mighty sturdy construcrion to make up for the absence of a lock-rail, and no marrer how well built, any solid door is likely ro warp.

You can safely recommend Laminex one-panel doors because they cannot sag or warp. Your customers will never need to take one down and plane it off; will never have one split or rattle. Laminex scientific, built-up construction and Laminex waterproof cement (a secret) are responsible.

French doors also trouble-proof

Laminex one-panel doors are iust as beautiful as they are trouble-proof; build up repeat orders and speed turnover much better than ordinary stock one-panel softwood doors; and save you the annoyance and expense of adjustments with customer and manufacturer.

Every Laminex door is guaranreed by the world's largest door manufacrurer. This fact alone should make you hesitate a long time before you rake a chance on an ordinary door.

LUMBER'S.COSTLY FAMILY F'IGHT

By. Henry R Isherwood, Secretary-Treasurer, Concatenate.d Order of Hoo-Hoo.

Competing industries get a big "kick" out of the tumber Industry's "family fight."

Bitter competition among Lumbermen gives these other industries a chance to gain for their produits a larger share of the consumer's dollar-at the expense of Lumber.

Every industry claims a share of the national spending money, and the biggest chunk always goes to the best organized, most progressive industry.

The income of the individual depends on the income of his industry.

What, then, does it profit the individual Lumberman to engage in a knock-down-and-drag-out competition with his fellow Lumbermen, in which prices and profits must suffer and public demand for Lumber must decline ?

Is it not better that we devote ourselves to organizing a united front to meet the competition of other industries?

-To advocate Home Ownership in preference to purchases of luxuries ?-To promote the wider use of Lumber for home-building and other uses ?

The Lumber Industry has a distinct advantage over competing industries in the opportunities for thorough organization. We have powerful State, Regional and National Associations representing the individual branches of the Industry and the various species of woods.

And back of the Associations-supporting them at every turn, eagerly ready at all times to co-operate with themwe have }foo-Hoo, the International Order that represents all branches of the Lumber Industry.

Hoo-Hoo offers the common ground of Friendship, Confidence and Education on which all the Associations are founded-and on which the Industry must build its battle front to meet the competition of outside industries.

Geo. S. Long and J. D. Tennant Talk on Trade Extension Work for the Lumber Industry

That lumber is still plentiful and available, and men and rvomen are more interested in building homes than ever before, were the two facts stressed both by George S. Long, vice-president and general manager of the Weyhaeuser Timber Company, and J. D. Tennant, vice-president and general manag'er of the Long-Bell Lumber Company, in their talks on trade extension work for the lumber industry at the National Retail Lumber Dealers Convention.

Wednesday was trade extension day at the convention, and was featured by these two talks, Mr. Long speaking on the general campaign of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, and Mr. Tennant on the work of the West Coast Lumber Bureau, of which he is president.

Mr. Long said that the retailer should help educate the public to the idea that lumber is still abundant and better adapted for some uses than any other material. Though America has seemingly consumed her forests rapidly, there is still more lumber standing on the Pacific slope than has been cut in the thirteen leading lumber producing states of the east since the Revolutionary war.

product. This is what the trade extension campaigns propose to do.

"We propose to furnish publicity and education in lumber values. We propose to have laboratory tests and experts' advice available for your use. We propose to do everything possible in the way of promoting the use and understanding of lumber. We plan to have men to study the questions pertaining to lumber, travel to all parts of the country, and work with retailers. We want to have these men understand them, get behind them, work with them.

"In fact we want to fix it so you won't leave us and can't leave us. We want to help you, not by resolutions alone. We want you all to be friends."

Mr. Tennant sketched the campaign which has been carried on for the last year and a half by northwest lumber manufacturers through the West Coast Lumber Bureau to educate the public to a use of the four principal West Coast rvoods, stressing particularly the working out of the slogan "Durable Douglas Fir-America's Permanent Lumber Supply." He discussed the threefold activities of the Bureauadvertising, publicity, and field work-and the fact that these three are all designed to help the retailer sell more lumber.

TOMORROW AND INDUSTRY

By George H. Corliss, Advertieing MinageriS. A. Woods Machine Co.

Yesterday there was ho cause for worry. The office was- full of orders, _the plant was ruhning-full time, the books showed a profit, the bank balance wis eood, the employees fairly well paid, the reports showed -the salesmen were making a few calls, ther- were no business clouds in the *y, and there seemed to be no cause for worry. But what about tomorrow?

-- -Tomorrow may be different. Yes, tomorrow wilt be different ! Many business houses in many industries in this country, .during_the past several years,-have had .,pretty soft picking." Orders have come easy, old machineiy has been _retained, extra and in many caies unnecessary- mett have been added to the payroll, lirge sums of -money have been spent -here and there withoul any investigation or much question, department heads have been aflowed to requisition most anything they wished, salesmen have been allowed to come and go as they pleased, supervision has been lax, managernent indifierCnt, but business boomed, competition lost its keen edge, and no one was expected or required to do a great deal of keen thinking. It wasn't neces-sary. There was plenty of business, it was easy to get, failures were few, credits good, and everybody made Mney. That was yesterday, but what abouf tomorrow? What about the changes that are taking place today?

Great and sudden changes are taking i'lale in this iountry in every line of industrl The air is-tutl of it. Old busin-ess institutions, industrial organizatiohs, publications and all sorts of- enterprises, which for years dominated their rgspective fields, are passing on and out. Their business has slowed-down, fallen off or stopped, there are no profits on the books, banks have withdriwn their credit. Whv? The old order of things is passing out. The stream bf life is changi,nC. This will bi an a[e of quick and sudden changes in the industrial and business #orld. It will be tn age in which youth will be supreme and a few men of exceptionally strong- eharacter, force and personality will cro_wd th-e glny weaker executives of industry into a-lower a.nd- muc_lr inferior plane-eventually out of the pictu.re en- tirely. Business will be good-for- those who cin take it, and those who can take it WILL be capable. It will not be handed to them as in the past. Induitry will not stop. It will move on even faster than before, and be subjeit to many, sudden and far-reaching changes.

L., D. Gilbert of the Healdsburg Lumber Co., Healdsburg, sends in the following:

An order for a straight load ol 2x4 SlSlE, specified lengths, came into this office recently. Same was handed to one of our trusted employees. The first item had written after it SlSlE, No. 1 common. After the other items instead of writing out in detail the milling and gradb specification was written the word "Do". The man having the order in charge after pondering for an hour or two over it returned to ttre ofrice in sort of an apologetic manner and said, "Say boss didn't you leave something out on this 2x4 order, the first lot says surfaced.one side and one edge but the balance all say do, do, do and I don't know what in the hell you want me to DO. (Can you beat it?)

California Retail Lumbermen's Association

Notes

The 1927 convention of the California Retail Lumbermes's $.ssociation portends to be the biggest and best Convention- yet held in California. Secretary Jessie E. Fraser states that only subjects of interest and binefit to the retail lumbermeh of California will be discussed. There are to be no long-winded speeches. Questionnaires are being sent out this week to the dealers in California setting forth a. number of subjects to be discussed at the Convention, and the dealers are asked to specify which subjects they consider of the most importance, also making-suggestibns of other subjects not on the list; in this way mitiers of importance to the dealers can be placed on the program ahd a benefit should be derived bv atl who attend.

The Convention will be held at the Alexandria Hotel, 5th and Spring Streets, Los Angeles. The Convention Hall is on the Mezzanine Floor of the Hotel. The entire rnezzanine floor will be given over to exhibits of interest to the dealers. The Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce is workitrg with Mrs. Fraser with a view to taking all visiting delegates through the Moving Picture Studios at Hollvwood, also on taking the lady delegates to the Convention on drives through Pasadena, Glendale, Hollywood, Beverly Flills, the Beaches, etc., with competent guides to explain the points of interest. Bridge parties will also be arranged for the ladies, and other entertainment, so they can be taken care of while the rnen delegates are attending the business sessions of the convention. Mrs. Fraser savs she believes the splendid entertainment furnished the lidies attending the National Conventions is a great factor in getting a number to the convehtions, for if the ladies are nicely entertained, naturally they will endeavor to get their men folks to go to the Convention. Shopping tours will be arranged for ladies desiring the same. The Annual Banquet and Dance will probably be held on Friday night, the llth of November, and plenty of splendid entertainment features will be furnished ahd not a dull moment is expected. Complete details of the entertainment features and business features of the Convention will be broadcasted at a later date, but each lumberman should lay his plans to attend the conventioh. It is thought that by holding the Convention November 10th, 11th, and 12th, the lumbermen in California can more easily attend since the 1lth is a holiday, and the 12th should be a short day anyway.

Keen interest in the Convention is being taken bv the United States Building and Loan kague, and they promise to have a number of delegates present.

While Mrs. Fraser was in Los Angeles on the 7th and, 8th of .this month she called on Mr. Tucker, President of the California Building and Loan League, with a view to creating a closer contact between the lumber dealers and the Building and Loan Associations.

The California Retail Lumbermen's Association was complimented byL. P. Lewin, who was cho-sen as the President of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, on the co-operation of the association regarding the securing of lower Corporation Income Tax.

Mr. C. W. Pinkerton was again chosen as the Director on the National Board of Directors, for the ensuing three years. Mr. Pinkerton and his young son Jack rnotored to Tacoma for the Convention.

Mr. M. A. Harris, of the Van Arsdale-Harris Lumber Company, San Francisco, and a Director of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association, has completely regained his health and is back again at his duties.

The consensus of opinion of delegates to the National Retail Lumber Dealers Convention was that if GRADE MARKI'NG were put into efrect lo0/o that half of the troubles of the retail lumber dealers, with the Fly-by-Night Contractor would be over.

Mrs. Fraser returned to San Francisco from the Convention on the special train of the New Jersey Lumbermen's Association Build a Home First Special with Erwin Ennis, Secretary of that Association in charge. This was a solid compartment car train with special car for bridge parties for the ladies enroute, with prizes for each day and with special observation car. She says Tacoma knows how to entertain the delegates at a Convention but New Jersey surelv knows how to travel deluxe.

Sixteen of the New Jersey delegates enjoyed a game of golf at the Olympic Lakeside Golf and Country Club, in San Francisco, as guests of the Chlifornia White and Sugar Pine Mfrs. Ass'n. and the California Redwood Association, Mr. G. W. Fraser, acting as host to the New Jersqy Lumbermen.

KNOWING WHEN NOT TO TALK

The great Pericles used to pray the Gods to permit him to utter no unnscessary word, and he cornes down to us as history's greatest orator.

The Hindoo religion calls for a co,nsiderable time of each day being spent in silence, contemplation, and quiet thought.

How sadly we need such thoughts as these in our present day living. The world is so full ofl foolish, meaningless, useless talk, where silence and contemplation would be so delightful.

"There are two signs of a weak mind," said the old Persian Proverb "to be silent when one should speak, and to speak when one should be silent."

Rare is that gift that knows when to talk, and when to be still. Rare the gift, indeed.

A PLAY WITH A MORAL

At a neighbo'rhood Playhouse in NewYork a Jewish folk play has made a great hit, and develops, some delightful provetbs.

One story told is of the rich old miser who visited the wise Rabbi. The Rabbi took the rich man by the hand and led him to the window. "Look out there," he said, and the rich man looked into the street

"\A/hat do you see?" asked the Rabbi. "People" answered the rich man.

Again the Rabbi took him by the hand, and this time led him to a mirror. "\i[/hat do you s€e now?" he asked, and the rich man replied, "Now I see myself."

Then the Rabbi said: "Behold-in the window there is glass, and in the mirror there is glass. But the glass of the mirror is covered with silver, and no sooner is the silver added than you cease to see others, and see only yourself."

IN A BIRCH TREE

Ann, my daughter, finds a church In the heart of every birch, And the net of silver doth, Serve her for an altar cloth.

Gold is mortal, gold will crumble; Love and golden apples tumble, But a child's heart lends her tree, Silver immortality.

Speed of trucks of a gross weight over 22,ffi pounds (six-wheelers) increased from lO to 12 miles per hour.

Examination of new applicants for motor vehicle drivers' licenses made mandatory instead of discretionary.

License of drivers shall be revoked after three eonvictions for reckless driving.

Clearance lights are required on vehicles exceeding 80 inches in width.

Common carrier trucks are already paying a five per cent in lieu tax. *All trucks hot common carriers will be taxed annually by weight as follows:

3000-6000 pounds, unladen weight, pneumatic tires, $15; solid tires, $30.

6000-10,000 pounds, (vehicl.es limited to load of. 22,W pounds) $40 pneumatic; $8O solids.

THERE'S A ROAD

There's a pathway you can follow _To the goal of your desires, There's a straight road that will lead yotr _ To the boon your heart requires. Some one else has made the jouiney, Some' one else has led the way; Find the trail and follow afterHour by hour and day by day.

Every manly man has ventured, Dreamed his dream, and vowed to win; Waged his war with opposition, Disappointments, trials, sin. Every strohg man sees before him Something better and .more dear Than the things he now possessesAnd he strives to draw it near.

. So he finds a road-or builds one ' To the treasure he woulil gain; Counting not the cost of labor, Sleepless nights, hor hours of pain. What to him life's fevered fretting? Just beyond the Vision smiles, Faith and Hope are e'en beside him As he treads the weary miles. _, _

For each one rewards are waiting, For each one a dream "come true;" For each one a road is winding ' Far away into the blue. To each one an earnest Purpose IJrges, "find or blaze a trail," And the voices of the spirit Whisper, "strive, you must not fail."
