Little Ships

Three little ships put out to sea, Pinta, Nina y Santa Maria; They were trim and trig as they well might be, Pinta, Nina y Santa Maria; The ocean was wide. uncharted too, But their timbers were strong and firm and true, So bravely they spoke their "toot-a-loo," Pinta, Nina y Santa Maria.

Oh, the sea was big when the land grew dim ! Pinta, Nina y Santa Maria; But there was the captain-they trusted him, Pinta, Nina y Santa Maria; They knew he would surely find a way To anchor them safe in some sunny bay, So they just sailed on by night and by day, Pinta, Nina y Santa Maria.

Three little ships on a desolate sea, Pinta, Nina y Santa Maria; And no one could tell what their fate might be, Pinta, Nina y Santa Maria; There were roaring gales and an ink black sky, "Can we make it?" groaned one, creaked the others, "we'll try;"

And they all were safe when the storm passed by, Pinta, Nina y Santa Maria.

Now rvhat did they find when the voyage was o'er?

Pinta, Nina y Santa Maria?

Why, a brave new world and a smiling shore, Pinta, Nina y Santa Maria;

And this is the lesson we treasure still, When burdensome tasks our moments fill, There is always a way when there is a will; Pinta, Nina y Santa Maria.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 4.-The Board of Complaints and Appeals of the Lumber Code Authority, which convened at Memphis, Tenn., Monday, November 27, directed the Hardwood Manufacturers Institute to grant such additional production allotments for November and December to the United Lumber & Timber Company of Memphis for their Spanish Fort, Miss., mill as would enable the company to execute its export contracts, with the understanding that extra allowable hours of operation so granted would be deducted from future production allotments.

The appeal of the W. R. Smith Lumber & Shingle Company of Seattle, Wash., from a decision of the Washington-Oregon Shingle Association denying them permission to operate their Moclips, \Mash., mill on a double-shift basis, was dismissed.
