Here indeed, is "one for the book". H. P. Dixon, the Los Angeles millwork man, showed me the other day the copy of a call that was sent out back in 1924 for a meeting of committees representing the millworb industry of Los Angelcs. The big shot is that the meeting was.held "for the purpose of discussing the depltirable conditions surrounding our industry". Laugh that off, looking at the millwork business today. It just goes to show that all values are simply comparative. There they were, in 1924, with the demand huge and the price high and every man of them making big profits and paying big irrcome taxes, discussing the "dqrlorable conditions", of the industry. "And now" said Mr. Dixon, "we are all praying that someday before we all starve to death, those 'deplorable conditions' will return to the industrl".
The Order of Hoo Hoo will miss Parson Simpkin. Miss him more than it realizes, perhaps. He occupied a position unique in the Order-in any order, as a matter of fact. No one wilt, or can, replace hirn- Such abundance of ability is seldom found, and almost never gecrrred for the snall retainer paid the Parson The fact t$at he was a healthbroken minister of the gospel was what made it possible to secure his great services at modest cost. Few men could equal his wondrous eloquence. He gave of his genius freely to Hoo Hoo, and wrote the imprint of his character deep upon its history. Hoo Hoo never needed him more than it does to'day-but he is gone. rf*t
The Parson possessed a great sense of humor, and loved a good joke on himeelf as well as any living man. The writer always loved to nag the Parson when they appeared on programs together. And the Parson always enjoyed it like a true spoft, and gave as good as was sent. He loved to repeat the famous remark that that sharp-tongued wit, Gus Russell, of San Francisco, once made while introducing him for a speech in the San Joaquin Valley. He said somethinglikethist
"I am about to have the pleasure of introducing to you that truly great man, Parson Peter A. Simpkin. The Parson served most of his life as a minister of the Gospel. He devoted a generation to the work of a single congregation in Salt Lake City, and, when he finally gave up trhat pastorate it was said of him that he had the largest collection of pants buttons and the smallest collection of pants, of any man in Salt Lake."
Almost as many suckers are getting caught in this mania for building miniature gol,f courses in our cities, as were
caught in the 1929 marlet crash. Thcy started in building simple little putting courseE tbat cost from five hundred to a thousand dollars each. They were new, the folls floched in to putt, and ttose courscs frequently cleared one to three hundred dollars a day. Big rcturns, of coursc. The news brought in golf course builders by the tens of ttousands, ever;rwhere
Competition in building ner, tric\r, diGFsull, and attractive courses came rapidly. Evcryone wanted thcc huge profits they heard about. So thcy begao building courses that cost from ten to a hundred thousand dolLars, with re' freshment stands, all sorts of covenieooes, etc., and stlll expected to make several hundrcd llcr cent a montt as the little cleap courses had donc. And already the craze is passing. The small courses atrc pa$c. Only the new de luxe ones are patronized, ahd they are falling ofi fast. When tte fever dies away " lOj sum will havc been lost.
They have served their part, and done a lot of people a lot of good at a time whea thcy Dceded busincss. In Southern California, for e-amph, ttcsc golf coursca haw kept the cement dealers busy witb their deliveric, have consumed lots of lumber, lots of sand, gravel, ornamental rock, felt, color.ed lnrasols, Gtc., and put lds of money in circulation. But only tlre pionccn got a profit. The late builders of thousands of erparsive courscs will have plenty to charge to experience. . . .

An advertising philosopher writing in a business magazine figures that inducing busincas people to advertise in times like these, is splendid business ethics. You get them to advertise, ttre ad gets pcoplc to bun thcir buying improves the business of otbers, ard they in their turn pass along the optimistic effort.

Curtailment of industry is the refuge of business as a general thing when trouble comes along, yet every thinking man krrows that curtailment, with its attendant reduction in the purchasing and investing powers of those who depend on that industry for their livelihood, must necessarily add fuel to the fire which brought about the curtailment in the first place- Curtailment, except as a temporary expedient, is always dangerous. It is unquestionably necessaqf at times, but intensifies rather than solves the problems of business dePressions
No business economist or financial wizard has yet solved the problem of rapid emergence from business dips. The wisdom of Solomon would seem to pale at tackling so hopeless a task. But certain it is that the good old fundamentals, intelligently applied, will do lots of good. A grin, in-
stead of a frown; a cheerful word" instead of dire foreboding; a muzzling of unnecessaryr dannist uttcr.nces; a hopeful aftitude and an optimistic word; a dispLay of cooperation rather than selfishness; dl coupled with a cheerful faith that everything will soon be dl right' and that each of us can do our durndest to make thi.gs all right; all tbese things, and dl other tbings of a hopeful and positive character, are of practicd value in bringing back good times. ***'
The entire lumber industry of ttrc United States should get solidly and militantly behind the movemcnt to bar Russian lumber and Russian pulpwood from ttis country.

To serve as a clearing house for the interchange -o-f merchandising ideas betu:een 4-SQU4R{ Dealers, Weyerfr"."r.r S-ales Company has creatld with headquarters. in St. F"ur, Minn., a Meichandising BureaT ,fr|'J:'rT"XttT characterized as a "major development in the + SQUARE program".
Most of the preliminary work incident to the actual olreration of the dipartment has already' been completed- Th-c program of activities contemplates extensive research work in e.'ery phase of lumber retailing; and includes- definite cooperation with the dealer in cultivating local customer-s and prospects. An unusual feature of coopcratign yitlt deateis liis in educationa! Programs for teaching the dealer's entire organization how to make the most of the mer' chandising possibilities provided by 4-SQUARE lumber-
R. E. Saberson
"It is a logical step in the development of our merchandising program, and represents a new tyPe ot -rvorking relationship betrveen lumber manufacturer and lumber dealer which has been made possible by +SQLIARE." said I. N. Tate, General I\{anager of Weyerhaeuser Sales Company. "Ifaving supplied the dealer with a nerv line of lumber products possessing 1l plus values not found in ordinary lumber we
are now setting up this nerv department to help the dealer make the most of the merchandising opportunity thus afforded. It is an epochal movement in lumber retailing and is the first time that anything of the kind has ever been done by a lumber manufacturer."

There are now more than 13@ duly authoized $ SQUARE dealers. "And", continped Mr. Tate, "Every 4-SQUARE dealer will have the n4w merch-andising- serv.-' ice ivailable in the conduct of his $usiness just as though it were moved intact into his officc. As the scope of the work expands, it is conceivable that the answers will be written io most of the Droblems which now confront the dealer and that thc solution of a certain problem in one town for example may Prove to be the solution !n -m1ny other place. *ir.t. conditions are lsimilar. We feel that the evlntual answer lies in coopedative endcavor and we are encountering a rapidly incria$ing -number of dealers who hold to the same-opinion, esfecially in these strenuous days of merciless competition."
The new department will be under the direction of R. E. Saberson who has been connected with thc Weycrhaeuser organization for several Srears. Mr. Saberson is well knowi in lumber circles, and has the reputation of being a vigorous exponent of the application of modern merJhandising principles to the lumber business. He has appeared on cidventi6n programs -of practically.every asso' ciation in the country-many of them several times.
Weyerhaeuser is not onty expanding the GSQUARE prog'rim, but promises to announce shortly "some furth-er ievilopments bf utmost importance". An active advertising program is now being ciarried out in the tradc press. in co-niunc-tion with a national advertising Program reaching moie than 6,000,0m readers monthly.

Washington, D. C., Sept. S.-The casual reader of the advertisement of Union Lubricants in the August issue of The California Lumber Merchant may wonder just why the picture of an old wood house is shown, but rvhen he reads he learns: "Down in St. Augustine, Fla., a frame house that proves the remarkable endurance of softrvood rvhen subjected to the deteriorating ravages of moisture, wind, heat, salt air and time.
"This house was built by Spanish settlers in 1680. For more than 250 years it has stood without even the protection of paint. Yet it is still in an excellent state of preser- vation. Thus does wood symbolize quality, endurance and service. And like wood, Union Lubricants exemplify the highest quality known to petroleum science."

Jh-e immense spread of sail of I the yacht Enterprise, which will represent the United States in the American Cup yacht races to be held soon at Newport, R. I., will be supported by a mast.of Sitka spruce, one of the four principal commercial woods of the Northwest, according to information received by the West Coast'Lumbermen's Association. The Enterprise will race the Shamrock V, the entry of Sir Thomas Lipton, which will represent Great Britain.
The spruce mast of the Enterprise is 168 feet long. It is hollorv and is built up of strips of spruce glued tog-ther. Two different types of spruce masts were buitt for use bn the Enterprise. One is round, with a diameter of A) inches at the base, rvhile the other is oval shaped, rvith a base thickness of 18 inches by 26 inches. Sitka sprtrce was chosen because of its combination of great strength and lightness.
The same qualities brought world recognition to Sitka spruce during the World War, when it was selected by the Allies as the best wood obtainable for airplanes. Millions of feet of this rvood, rvhich grows in a narrow belt along the coast region of Oregon, Washington and British Columbia, was cut for airplane construction during the war and immense quantities are now being used for the same and other exacting purposes. Most of the outstanding accomplishments of airplanes, including the epochal flight of Lindbergh across the Atlantic, the trips made by Byrd over the North and South poles, the polar flight of Wilkins, and other memorable achievements that have helped write aviation history, rvere made in planes const4rcted largely of Sitka spruce.
The yacht Weetamoe, rvhich was eliminated by the Enterprise in competition for the honor of representing the United States in the rgces, also has a mast of Sitka spruce.

HIS type of Redwood poultry feeder was originlted by Mr. F. A. Benson of Modesto, Californi,a, representing Taylor Milling Company of Los Angeles and Stockton, Wholesale Grain, Feed and Mill Products.
In the San Joaquin Valley where hundreds of these Redwood feeders are in successful use, they are popularly known as the "Benson 3 in l"-so called because of iheir adaptability to feeding dry mash, damp mash, fresh greens or choPPed haY.
Embodied in this design are important features suggested by Mr. Benson, the originator, concurring with successful poultrSrmen, and progressive retail lumber dealers who have made and sold hundreds of these Redwood feeders to satisfied customers-

"The Clean Up and Paint Up Campaigns waged annually by many chambers of commerce take on a specific significance this year when considered in connection with the effort of the National Business Survey Conference to encourage within prudent limitations all types of betterment, clean-up, re-equipment and remodeling and modernizing of industrial, commercial and residential buildings.
"Mr. Julius H. Barnes, Chairman of the National Business Survey Conference, recently wrote a letter to the Exetutive Secretary of the National Clean Up and Paint Up Campaign Bureau, 310 East 45th Street, New York City, in which he called attention to the importance of clean-up work as a substantial contribution to the program undertaken by organized business, at the reqrrest of President Hoover, to restore the country to a normal level of prosperity.
"In preparing for this type of work in 1930, therefore. secretaries may appropriately have in view the double objective of improving their own communities, and making an appropriate contribution to the national speed-up movel ment. Those interested in such campaigns can secure valuable information and assistance from the National Bureau, at the address mentioned above."

Most fires from sparks could be prevented. The danger lies not so much in the spark itself as in the place on which it falls. Falling in rubbish, dry grass or shavings, it is almost certain to cause a fire. Reduce hazard from your own sparks by spark arresters on your stacks. Fight the outside spark by keeping your yard and plant clean. Starve out the spark wherever it falls.
The mission of Lumber Mutual fnsurance is to provide specialized protection to the lumber industry, to prevent fire in every possible way, to pay losses fairly and promptly, and to reduce insurance cost.

Seneca, the great Roman philosopher, was able to repeat two thousand disconnected words after having heard them once, in precisely the same order in which ttrey were given to him. Once an author composed a lengthy poem' As was the custom, he read it in public and received the plaudits of the crowd. Seneca was present and when the applause had died down he arose and denounced the author as a plagiarist. He declared that he, Seneca, had written the po"-, and to prove it he recited it word for word' Then he chatlenged the author to do likewise. To his mortification, the poet did not know his own Poem. Whereupon Seneca admitted that the whole thing was a joke.

Full of possibilities for the attainment of new and beau_ tiful effects in home construction, Wavewood, a new product now being placed on the market by Redwood Manufa-cturers Co., Pittsburg, Calif., is attraiting the attention of prospective home-owners, builders and a"rchitects.
Produced by carving original designs into the surface of California Redwood, Wavewood dis created, designecl l1d ir exclusively manufactured by this company "T it, Pittsburg plant.
Log Cabin Rustic. This is in 3 in. r 6 in. construction grade lVauewood Log Cabin Rqstic. The e*terior face irnparts the much desired effect of age to the outside, while the inner face is surfaced and joints are "I/'d" to form on interior finish.
Some of the uses for which Wavewood is designed are: For_ outside covering and trim; for log cabins and rustic hgmes; for interior finish, trim and paneling, and for shakes.
It is available in a variety of patterns for use, such as
One, Two and Three Lap Rustic, Shiplap, Rustic, Channel R.u-stic and L.og Cabin Rustic. Special -patterns for individual uses will be created as the demand arises.
_Jac\ W. Pearson, general manag'er of the Redwood Manufactuterg_ !o,., is enthusiastic oVLr the possibilities of Wavewood. "Although not yet comirletely but of the development stage, new uses are being-sugglsted for Wavewood, uses which we who originated the-idea did not foresee", he says. "These suggestions come from architects, who are always looking foi something out of the ordinary, from those who are planning to build homes, and from lumber dealers."
Corner !oint. This picture shotas the usual method of corner construction employed urith Waaewood outside covering and trim.
Mr. Pearson pointed out the adaptability of Wavewood to brush paintirig, and to the uniqire effeits and pleasing color combinations achieved by "wiping in" one color over a ground color. He also drew attention to the effect of changing color created by spraying a ground color with a lacquer gun from a downward angle, and a top color or series of colors from an upward angle. Actual samples have to be seen in order to appreciate the wonderful tbne harmonies obtainable by thiJ process.
