Mr. Termite is an under-cover worker. And when we say worker,we rneanworker. He doesn't care a whoop for time clocks. His single inierest-is in wo-rking conditions and these he finds ideal in any average piece of untreated wood, be it Douglas Fir or what have you.
Mr.Termite carries on his nefarious work clear around the clock, being careful always to keep out of sight. (For this reason, t-ermite-damage seldom is discovered until'far advairced, beciuse he skillfully avoids breaking through the surface.)
t$/hat he works at and how destructive that work is to wood products, is illustrated on this page. Hardwoods (left) and soft woods (right) are all one to him.
But he cao be stopped! More than that, he can be eliminated before he ever gets started which brlnp;s us to the point where he gets off:-
In a word, it is when he tackles a piece of WOLMANIZED lumber, at which moment he's through done . washed up:-
Because \(OLMANIZED lumber puts him squarely on the spot I For lumber so treated, is impregnated under the vacuum-pressure process/ with toxic salts, which spell his certain deleat . . pronto ! More than that, he is not likely to attack a piece of WOLMANIZED stock. no matter how hungty . . . it's too distasteful.
Wherever you find Mr. Termite, you also find wood-d-estroying fungi^. the element whiih causes decay in wood. It's an aftermath of termite attack. So, with Mr. Termite banished, you dispose of decay from that source. However, \(OLMANIZED wood also is imhune to decav caused by moisture. Indeed, the durability record of VOLMANIZED lumber, when usid in contact with the ground or other locations of excessive moisture, is convincing
iestimony to its unusual service under these conditions.
\$7OLMANIZED stock is harmless to mankind and free from all objectionable features, as the treatment is clean, dry, odorless and does not leach out. Any WOLMANIZED item can be handled and stored s'ith untreated stock, and therefore does not require separate storage sPace.
Operating a complete lVolmanizing plant at'Wauna, Oregon, in connection-with the manufacture of lumber, Crossett 'V'estern Company is equipped to furnish treated Douglas -Fir, W'estern Hemiocli and Siruce in cargo shipments direct from its own docks to any domestiC or world potts.

Southern California Retail Lumber Dealers With Their Complete Lumber Requirements
Agents for
California lumbermen will meet at San Diego on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, November 6, 7 and 8, 1935, for the annual convention of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association.
A fine program has been arranged for the three-day meeting. The lumbermen will register at the Hotel San Diego on Wednesday morning. Wednesday noon an interesting trip is scheduled for the lumbermen and their ladies which includes a boat trip through the harbor to a 6-mi1lion foot giant log raft, luncheon and a tour through the Benson Lumber Company's mill. These giant log rafts are towed from the Columbia River, the logs coming from the company's timber holdings in Oregon and are assembled at Wallace's slew near Astoria. The return trip from the mill will be made by boat and the balance of the afternoon will be spent at the California Pacific International Exposition.
Thursday morning there will be a business session, an open forum. presided over by Paul Hallingby of the Hammond Lumber Company, Los Angeles. There will also be a preview showing of the Redwood moving picture talkie.
Thursday afternoon, for the enjoyment of everybody there will be a dual program-a golf tournament at the La Mesa Country Club, La Mesa, at one o'clock with a buftet supper and stag party in the evening, or a visit to the Expositidn where there will be lectures and tours of the C.C.C. exhibit and Tiny Town, a log rolling contest, and dinner, floor show and dancing at the Cafe of the World in the evening.
Business sessions will be held, both morning and afternoon, on Friday when several speakers will address the meeting on current subjects of importance to the dealers. There will be a premiere showing of "Home of the Wooden Soldiers," Red Cedar Shingle Industry talkie, at the afternoon session. In the evening at 7 :fi P.M. the annual banquet, floor show and dance will be held in the Pompeian Room of the Hotel San Diego. The convention program in full is printed elsewhere in this issue.
Through the lumbermen of the San Diego district who have arranged for the Convention program, the City of San Diego extends a cordial welcome to all lumbermen to attend the convention and to visit the California Pacific International Exposition.
There'll be "LOTSA" FUN for everyone around here in the next three weeks. Laughs for everyone who likes to fold up his face in a grin.
"LOTSA" FUN is an" ".-" t *, new book of favorite stories that is now in the hands of the printer. It will be ready for delivery between the twentieth and twenty-fifth of this very good month of November.
Three years ago r t,rri"a -i oooo of favorite darkey stories"CULLUD" FUNloose on an unsuspecting world. All I hoped and planned in that book was to give my favorite "nigger" stories to my family and friends. But at the end of three years "CULLUD" FIIN is selling just as steadily as in the beginning. >F**
Encouraged by that success to publish something even broader in the way of laugh-producers, I have been working for a year on another book of stories not confined to the negro dialect. If the world gets as many laughs from reading it as I have in typing and compiling it, it too will be a huge success.
,F :8 rt
Within its covers I have written all of the grand stories I have loved and told during the past generation, save only those darkey stories already printed in "CULLUD" FUN. There are many darkey stories that I have told since I wrote "CULLUD" FUN. And in addition there are Swede stories, Scotch stories, Canadian French (Cannuck) stories, Cajen French (Louisiana) stories, Italian stories, English stories, Hebrew stories, mountain stories, rural stories, political stories, drunk stories, goofy stories, hair-lip stories, stammering stories, and every other sort of story that I have collected and told.
rt wilt be a more *"rrur"lrrir"Ju uoot than "cuLLUD" FUN because of its much greater variety. The best authority on "nigger" stories I know told me that, to his amazement, he found sixty per cent of the stories in "CUILUD" FUN were new to him. I have no doubt that the most gifted and trained story-teller will find fully sixty per cent of the stories in the new book, "LOTSA" FUN, both new and useful.
To me this seems to offer a treasure-chest to public speakers and story-tellers, because I have bought every
promising book of stories I ever had offered me in my life, and I have yet to secure one that gave rne more than one new and worth-while story that I could use. So a book containing hundreds of stories new and useful, or old and wonderful, should be something of an addition to that quantity of the human race that loves to laugh.
"LOTSA" FUN is O"*, n*r*hed in handsome blue and gold cloth binding, all first editions will be autographed, and orders will be filled in the order of their arrival. I expect to sell several thousand for Christmas presents. Wot a Christmas gift to a laugh-loving person ! 'k**
You can send your order now, and the book will be in your hands by the first of December at the latest. The cost is two dollars, post paid. Send the do-re-me. I don't like to send bills. Just send your two bucks to me care of The California Lumber Merchant, 318 Central Building, 108 West Sixth St., Los Angeles, Calif., and you'll get the book hot off the press. You can send in the list of friends you want it sent to, and we'll send it with your card and compliments.
+*t
It means "LOTSA" FUN to brighten up the winter. I have reason to believe that every person who got "CULLUD' FUN loved it. And I believe you'll love "LOTSA" FUN even more. You'll see ! **rk
That's all about the story book. A friend of mine told me he made a tour through the Los Angeles jail the other day, and on the back of a cell, scratched into the metal with some hard, sharp tool, he saw these words, left by some former inmate: "There'll be days, in here, when you think you just can't stand it. BUT YOU WILL." Some philosopher, that prisoner, whoever he was.
Press reports say afr"a Wifri"rl n"rraotph Hearst, multimillionaire newspaper publisher, is moving his residence from California because of high taxes. No use, Randolph. You cannot dodge'em. Go where you will, they are going to follow and catch up with you. Five years from today, when all the social security philanthropies are in full blast, and when we are beginning to pay the bill for the spending orgy of these days, every man will pay at least fifty cents out of every dollar he earns, FOR TAXES. No

earthly doubt about it ! The only doubt is that it will be as low as fifty per cent.
Everywhere -ur, g"tnul,;";", today, they talk taxes. Taxation is the burden of most of the things we read. We debate which forms of taxation we should use to balance the various budgets, state, nation, and even the smaller political sub-divisions everywhere. I'll give you a little bit of advice about that. Quit worrying about WHICH forms of taxation we shall adopt. When these tax bills to pay for our extravagances, our philanthropies, and our necessities begin knocking at the dooq WE ARE GOING TO ADOPT EVERY POSSIBLE FORM OF TAXATION.'
't d< >t
One man says, "I don't want a sales tax; I want some other form of revenue raising." The other man says, ttl prefer a sales tax." I say, "Boys, don't wear out your minds worrying about small matters. When we- begin really paying off you're going to have both of them, and all of them put together. And then we won't have enough revenue to pay off." So why worry?
>k >F ,*
Taxes are things not rnany people understand. That is why you hear so frequently of late the cry, "Tax the rich !" Only the man ignorant of taxation talks of taxing the rich. That we can assess heavy taxes upon the rich, there can be no doubt. And that we can apparently collect those assessed taxes FROM the rich, there is likewise no doubt. But who actually pays them? Ah, my friends! That's something else again' ,k x< >k
My mind goes back to the best address on a general subject of taxation I ever heard. And the high light of that address-the words that stuck indelibly in my mind-was
this: "The rich do NOT pay taxes; they COLLECT them !" And they tell me no man has yet risen wise enough in tax matters to gainsay that declaration. You may tax the rich, indeed. But unless they be strangely dumb, as well as rich, they will simply add that tax to their cost, and pass it along. ***
Strain and struggle as you may to create some tax plan that will operate otherwise; when all the grist has been ground and the books have been balanced, it will be found that every millimeter of tax money finds its way undeniably and definitely through those devious channels that lead as inexorably as fate right to Mr. Consumer-to Mr. Jonesfor it's Jones that pays the tax, as well as the justly famous freight.
So when you go t. aiJ""Jri"i taxation, just keep this thought in the front of your head, and it may guide you in your conclusions: THE CONSUMER PAYS ALL TAXES.
t(*>r
Men with thick skulls and thin brains tear their hair today and cry aloud demanding to know why the cost of living goes up almost daily. And the answer is the same one just given above; THE CONSUMER PAYS ALL TAXES. Multiplied taxation, difficult though it may be to trace, is the reason.the consumer dollar is shrinking, and the food and other costs are swelling.
Sooner or later "*r"o Jr-l oJ" rr..r" spent, every dime we are spending, and every dime we are planning to spend, must be paid in taxes. AND MR. CONSUMER WILL PAY THEM. EVERY DIME OF THEM. So it's no use for Mr. Hearst or anyone else to move from one place to another. The tax man is going to find him, just the same.
M. Vininger Manager and Sole Owner Telephone"Not the cheapest---Just the best"
O The big swing in archirecture is back to Colonial -a style that creates and maintains its own market.
]n this market, however, and for some time to come, demand fbr beauty and quality of exterior is tempered by the desire to lower construction costs on the job.
Weyerhaeuser 4-seuARE siding is made for that exact situation. Siding indeed was the first 4-sguer.n item developed, so great was the need for a uniformly good stock that would reach thi job in perfect condition, and then lend itself to the tigbt accurate asrembly required for the exterior.
As the pictures above iliustrate, this is a "pride" item for any retailer or contractor to furnish and firmly fixes in the home on'ner's mind the quality materials that have undoubtedly been furrrished for the balance of the job.
Cost cutting on the job begins at the Weyerhaeuser mill of
origin when the stock is thoroughly seasoned, cut to exact precision lengths, then micrometrically sguared-all of which eliminates much unnecessary end-cutting to provide clean, bright and full square ends to weld in the weather-tight overcoat that siding should provide lor the house.
Cost cutting does not end merely in the time saving or the providing ofa tighter sheath for the exterior.
i-sgvanr siding, properly seasoned and accurateiy joined gives the painter a surlice to cheer about, takes priming and finishing coats that justify the pride of his master brush. And -lgrnsrnlsl this-all this premium quality at ilo ?remium in eort.
So why not use the best!

Lumber dealers who handle Palco Bark are receiving this week a new sales promotional piece in shape of an illustrated folder describing this California product for home insulation.
While Palco Bark has for some time been receiving wide acceptance by refrigeration engineers for insulating cold storage warehouses and commercial refrigerators, it is only recently that its advantages as a house insulation have become recognized,.
The new folder points out basic reasons {or the rapidly growing demand for insulation. It also describes the advantages of Palco Bark for meeting this demand.
The folder brings out the fact that Palco Bark is ideal for retail lumber dealers to handle as it is a product of the forest and can be shipped in pool cars with lumber.
Several hundred lumber dealers on the coast have already added Palco Bark to their regular line and the majority of them are enjoying a very satisfactory turnover, according to Edric E. Brown, manager of Palco Bark Division of The Pacific Lumber Company.
