A poem of unknown authorship entitled "The Ballad of Sir Andrew Barton," discusses war in lurid terms, and is frequently quoted. Flere are three popular lines from the poem:

"A little I'm hurt, but not yet slain, I'll but lie down and bleed a while, And then I'll rise and fight again."

We can only gather from the foregoing that Sir Andrew was a mighty tough fighting man.

{<. t >t<

Some of our boys come back from the Pacific as tough as the police dogs we train for war. I read about a returned, wounded Marine, who was getting pushed around and didn't like it: Someone said to him, "What did you say to that tough taxi-driver that cooled him off so fast?" The Marine said: "I just told him I'd tear his arm off and feed it to him."

rn world war r r"r, ,iurl,rr].rr""r,, were taken prisoner by the Germans. But at Bataan alone the Japs captured about 35,000 Americans in this war. In World War I the draft yielded 6,373,4L4 men available for service, of which number 2,702,687 were inducted, and 1,390,000 reached the fighting fronts' ,r >{< >r<

World War I cost the country about fifty billions of dollars, all told. The item of waste alone would reach that total in this war, if all the facts could be set up.

ff you're not getting "r, an. *r""ey you need, don't blame the Government. The United States mint is turning out coin at a rate never dreamed of before. During the fiscal year that ended June 30, L944, we issued more than three billion finished coins of all denomination. A few years back three hundred millions was considered a big year. So, if you're not getting your share you can't blame Mrs. Nellie

ever since she was Governor*of Wyom,ing.

I remarked in this column last issue while trying to re' duce our vital economic situation into simple terms, that there is no subject on earth so generally misunderstood as the subject of money. Here is what I mean. Money is strange stu,ff. Few men understand it. Many of those who pose as experts on the subject are as ignorant of its realities as a troglodyte on the ocean bed is ignorant of the science of astronomy. I could name names, but if I did this might be construed as political talk. Few people realize, for instance, that money is only useful when it is scarce. In this respect it differs from most other goods or commodities. Food, clothing, or shelter, as an example, would still be useful even though produced in such quantities that they could be had for little or nothing. But money is only useful when people have so little of it that they are willing to work to get it. In working to get money they produce the things they all need and want. Right now people are willing to work hard to get money, and as a result they produce the prodigious quantities of everything we need to solve our present **.1 nt_.Otfms of supply.

Money does its work by CIRCULATING. In this. also, it differs from most other useful things. Food, clothing, and shelter, for instance, finally stay with the person who buys and consumes them. Circulation of money creates purchasing power and prosperity only when it gets useful things produced and moving into the hands gf consumers.

POLICIE,S THAT RESTRICT PRODUCTION

HOLD BACK BUYING POWER NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY rS PUT rNTO*CIRC*ULATTON.

Two men did more for the cause of the laboring man in the United States than all others combined. They were Henry Ford and Samuel Gompers. Henry Ford voluntarily increased the wages of his employees to a height that neither labor nor labor unions had up to that time even dreamed of asking for. Samuel Gompers was the very wise and conservative leader of the American Federation of Labor whose policies and preachings were so sound that he led his people like Moses, safely toward the promised land of better things for the toiler. A fair sample of the wise philosophies of Gompers was the following utterance: "One fact stands out in bold relief in the history of men's attempts for betterment. That is that when compulsion is used, only resentnlent is aroused, and nothing is gained. Only through moral suasion and appeal to men's reason can a movement succeed."

I made another remark in this column recently that I want to discuss further. .I said that if business is turned loose, unhampered, with the iron heel of Government removed from its neck for the first time since 1933, there would be no trouble producing "good jobs for all good men." True. But what about' jobs for those who are not to be classified as "good men?" If you don't think that is to be one of our vital hurdles after the war ends, then you have not givCn the subject fair consideration. Here's r'hat r mean'

* ,.< *

A friend handed me a very interesting and readable little booklet recently, a thing of humorous intent, yet with a serious background. The writer told how he had been rebuffed, insulted, and pushed around by various and sundry public servants everywhere he went since the war started, until finally he got a little black book, and a pencil, and started keeping track of the culprits who had aroused his wrath by their unfair treatment. Down in that book he puts every person he meets who takes advantage of the war situation and the help shortage to be rude, indifferent' insulting, or what have you. He may not know their names, but he makes the entry in the book so that he can surely identify them, and after the name he writes down what they are guilty of. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE HE

war ends I will never buy a thing from those sales ladies again." He said: "Madam, I can tell you one more thing; THE DAY THE \vAR ENDS THEY WON'T BE WORKING HERE ANY MORE.' **{<

And after she left he said to me: "I'm planning a V-Day of my own. That will be the day when I can get decent help again, when I will stand in the door and hand their pink slips to every man and uroman in this store who has deliberately taken advantage of the help shortage and mistreated and imposed on me and rny customers."

Nothing isolated o, .rrrri.,ri, "lo.r. that feeling. It seems to be general. Most places of business, great and small, from little cafes to big industries, have their quota of people who have taken advantage of the war situation in some fashion or other to make themselves obnoxious. You can't help feeling sorry for humans so short-sighted. Instead of realizing that these unusual times furnish wise men and women fine opportunity for building GOOD instead of BAD reputations that will hold their jobs when jobs are scarcer, they let their weaknesses come to the surface and show themselves all too plainly; and right away get their names on the "hydrophobia list" of their place of employment. And when the tirne comes they will hit the skids. ***

IS GOING TO TRY AND GET EVEN

WITH WHENEVER THE TIME COMES THAT HE CAN DO SO. It is a sort of a vengeance book-future and contemplatedvengeance.

There used to be a story years ago about the fellow who kept what he called a "Hydrophobia List," and when asked what it was, he said it was a list of the people he was going to bite whenever he got hydrophobia. Well, that's what this little black book is. It is the peopls who took advantage of war conditions to see how dirty they could act toward him.

Now that man with his little black book is only a fair sample of Americans generally. I have a notion that there are mighty few of us who have not kept su,ch a list in some fashion. The other day I was talking to the owner and manager of a very large general store, when a lady approached and this was the conversation that took place between the store owner and the lady. She said: "f want you to know that several of your sales ladies are so rude that they are almost insulting." He said: "Madam, I know that even better than you do, and it hurts me worse. But if I let them go I have no way of replacing them, so I stand for things f never dreamed I would." Somewhat mollified, the lady said: "Well, I can tell you one thing; the day this

And then what? There are millions of them. all told. Maybe, in spite of ourselves, we will have to have some sort of WPA after the war, just to take care of the army of people who during the emergency showed thems6lves in some fashion or other to be in the "cull" section of humanity. It was Pope who wrote that the proper study of mankind, is man. In times of emergency the weak human plainly shows his weaknesses, and the strong human, his strength. And the worst of it is that when so many more or less worthless people are replaced by more desirable ones, they will scream to high heaven that they have been mistreated, refusing to see that Biblical injunction to the effect that "what ye sow, that shall ye likewise re?p.". ***

The Law of Compensation is sometimes seen in war as plainly as the rising sun. For instance, the Third British fnfantry Division, which was the last to leave Dunkirk in 1940, was the first to land in France on D-Day, 1944. *d<*

Much talk about the "indispensable man." One speaker said there never was such a thing. Oh, friend! I'll have to take issue with you there ! There awere TWO, as a matter of fact, in this world's history; ADAM and NOAH. Stop and think for a minute about the truth of that statement. Where would we be without those two?

n tell this industry story with the hope that it will be told and . You should tell it to customer, neighbor and friend. This is the ly. In spite of a civilian shortage today, there will be plenty of high lity lumber as soon as war needs are satisfied, because there is an -?bundant supply of saw timber still standing in U. S. forests.

The present scarcity of lumber for civilian needs is due, in part, to the shortage of skilled workers in forest and mill. The industry has lost between 70,OOo and 8o,ooo experienced men. It suffers too from a shortage of equipment-fewer Power saws, tractors, trucks' and tires. Our production is no longer measured in mill capacity but rather by available man Power and equipment. Yet despite the shortage of man Power and machinery in our effort to meet the war needs, the industry today is producing much more lumber than is normally required for civilian consumption.

The channeling of this production to civilian markets is a simple matter. For there is no reconversion problem in the lumber industry. '\tr/ar needs and civilian needs are similar. They both use the same sizes, grades and items. Vith reconversion we'll simply continue to produce and ship traditional $Teyerhaeuser quality for civilian consumption.

Remember Trees Grow. It is the $7'eyerhaeuser policy to harvest its mature timber in such a mannef as to assist reforestation of logged-over lands.

ill be plenty ol quality Iumber for needs when war's demands are ouer!

Michigan-California Lumber Co. Certifted as Tree Farm

The timber holdings of the Michigan - California Lumber Co., of Camino, Calif., have been designated a'Western Pine Tree Farm by the Western Pine Association and named the Camino Tree Farm in recognition of the company's cutting rules, fire protection and disease control programs. A certificate of this rating was recently received by Swift Berry, manager of the company.

The Tree Farm program is sponsored by the National Lumber Manufacturer's'Association, and by the 'Western Pine Association in the Western Pine region.

Stuart Moir, forester for the Western Pine Association, notifying the company of the award, said in part: "The committee unanimously approved the application of the Michigan - California Lumber Co. for certification as a Western Pine Tree Farm. The tributes paid by some members regarding the outstanding forestry job being done by this company testify to the fact that a tree farm is being operated in every sense of the word."

The tree farm program was initiated by the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company about five years ago in the Douglas fir region at Longview, Wash., and has now spread to the Western Pine, Southern Pine, Great Lakes States and New England areas. It is understood that areas aggregating six million acres have been certified in the national program.

Lumbermen's Post'Asks Dealers To Publicize Proposition No. 1

Leo E. Hubbard, chairman of the Veterans' Home and Farm Committee, Lumbermen's post No. 4O3, of the American Legion, Los Angeles, has sent a letter to the lumber dealers of California, regarding proposition No. 1, which, will ,be presented before the voters of California on the November, 1944, ballot, authorizing an aclditional bond issue' in the sum of thirty million dollars for the purpose of loaning money to veterans of World War II to buy hornes and farms at a low rate of interest.

With his letter, he enclosed a report of the Veterans, Welfare Board as of June 30, !944, to the Governor of California, which sho.ivs that between the years 1922 and, 1934 the State of California issued bonds totaling eighty million dollars for the purchase of homes and farms for veterans of World War I. ,'you, as lumber dealers,,, Mr. Hubbard says, "are thoroughly familiar rvith the past bond issue, and know that it meant considerable business for the lumber dealers of California, and that this additional business was developed without any cost to the taxpayers of the State of California. In addition to the soundness of Proposition No. 1, there is also,every reason for us to provide our returning boys and girls with the opportunity to build homes, or buy farms.,,

Lumbermen's Post of the American Leeion is behind this bond issue 100 per cent. Mr. Hubbard asks the lumber dealers. to act as chairman of the Lumbermen's Committee in their community, to enlist the support of the newspapers, arrange for speakers before the lodges and service ciubs, acquaint every minister and priest with the facts so they can pass on the information to their church clubs, contact the commander of the American Legion post in their dis_ trict, so that every person is acquainted with proposition No. 1 and will vote for it in the November election.

DR VTNG PRESERVATME DOWN into the libers oI a piece of wood takes more push than a brush can produce. People make buckets, boats and'barrels out of wood because it resists penetration by liqui&. Penetration means the difference between real treated lumberpressure-treated lumber-and. lumber that has only been painted with or dipped in preservative. Decay and termites work tlrough thin {il'"s of poison in a short rirne.

TI//-TS WHY WoLnanized Lumber* is griven the kind of treahent vital to dependably long service lifevacuum-pressure impregnation in heavy steel cylinders. When the Wolman Sdts* preservative is driven deep into the wood, "fiber-fixation" holds it there, preventing leaching and loss oI protection.

WOLIIANIZED LUInIBER has an enviable perlormance record. Anonq typical cases reported in the booklet, "Service Becords for Wolmanized Lumber", are laundry, bakery, paper and textile rnill insfalhtions, bridges, railroad and mine structures.

A FLOO*'*O CONTRACTOR'S WARTIME EXPERIENCE arilh

HARDWOoD tt00R5 0t* THE TUTURE

Here's a letter that speaks convincinglv for

flooring contractors, floorlavers, builders and

occupants.

Millions of square feet of Bradley Pre-Finished Straight-Line Hardwood Flooring have been laid and are giving the kind of satisfaction that builds flooring reputation.

The splendid service which Bradley PreFinished Hardwood Flooring is giving in Var

Agencl' buildings, FPHA and FHA housing, A fromcoasttocoastundersevereconditions ..'fr of wartime, spotlights this product as a ..-:' ,:1 potentialfast-sellingandprofitable

item for the postwar building era.

The beginning of rhat era is nor / t far of f . You'll do well ', /r' ' , I

ro be the "earl' ui.I'i" '' '' " 7, with Bradlel Prc-Finished Harduood ' "r Flooring. Better writerrs now for t ,l ./ useful informatton,

The Bradley Lunber Ccnpany of Arkansas Warren, Arkansas Gentlenen:

June 14th. 1944

You have asked us, as Wood Flooring Contractors, for any criticj-sn we can nake regarding Bradley Brand Pre-Finished Oak Flooring. I9e11 our first experiencg with this product was in 1942. That we had nade a wise decisj.on in selecting Bradley Pre-Finj.shed Fl-ooring was proved repeatedly as our work progressed. It was on hand when we needed j-t. No tine vas required for sortj-ng. Its tongue-andgroove fitting accelerated the laying. Pre-fj.nished at your factories, it required no nachine sanding and fj.nishing after it was laid. Its durable, uniforn and lustrous finish, subjected to the constant handling and work of the neohanics in laying, was restored sinply by cleaning.

Since then we have used Bradley Pre-Finished oak Flooring for about ninety-five (95) jobs, wj,th the sane satisfactory experience. Needless to say, we shall continue using it at every opportunity.

As to your specific request our only criticisn is that you waited until the lvar to nake this innovation available.
