In its weekly review of the lumber market, the American Lumberman, Chicago says: !- Lumbermen find business a At tie slow, as is usual at this season, but many of those who hare com pared their volume for 1927 to date, with that for last year, Trave discovered that this year's "volume has been larger. And analysis of figures reported-by the princi ple softwood mills of the country confirms that a larger Quantity of lumber has sold. The' six large softwood manufacturing "groups , whose reports for the two periods nre available give out the follow ing figures: During the first sev en weeks of 1926 there had been : 2,303 weekly mill reports, giving total orders booked as 1,321,816 thousand feet, or an average of 575 thousand feel a mill a week. For the first seven weeks of 1927, weekly reports from the same groups of mills nunibered 2,168 and gave orders booked as 1,497,- 182 thousand feet, or an average of about 690 thousand feet-a mill a week. This shows that, com- ipared with 1926, the 1927 average orders per mill per. week gained twenty per cent.

Xeaflet. weather, more Activity is "being shown in the lumber trade. None of the distributers, however; are adding very freely to their stocks, but are sorting them up in readi ness for spring. Continuance of hand to- mouth buying is generally expected, but naturally there will be a larger flow of softwood from the mills as soon as the yards be gin to move, out lumber jobs. On present volume, softwood prices have barely remained firm, for disposal of surplus, lots has given the market a weak aspect. Manufacturers had been expecting earlier advances, and. In fact, the price level is too low to permit many 6f the smaller mills to oper ate. The list has a strong under tone, and it is generally believed that not much gain in trade vol ume would be required to bring prices up a few dollars.

The hardwood people are get ting a good deal more business from the automobile factories, though building trades and furni ture takings are held down, large ly by bad weather. To date this year the southern mills, which are responsible for about six-sevenths of the; annual cut, have sold twenty-one percent more than they manufactured. Northern mills report a' steady gain in business; this is their season of heaviest production. Prospects for foreign trade in hardwoods have been vastly improved by a reduction of five cents a hundred pounds in ocean rates. Our Ads Business Getters ISO N. High 1 I PERMANENCY VS.

In the case "6f hibernating insects, paint is an etcelleht cure, for it n6t only Kills the adults that will father the 'flies arid mosquitoes of next summer, "but also the eggs, larva and pupa of moths, spiders,' and other pests. Several city health departments, notably that of New York, have largely "or entirely abandoned fumigation In favor of renovation in the fight against germs and vermin, j Of course, paint and varnish are Bdt the only agents for the control of vermin, but it Is an absolute fact'that cracks' and crevices that shelter Insects e- conio available no longer when painted or varnished, that insects wil not Remain 'in the proximity of fresh pSint surfaces vmay be kept spotlessly clen, thus remov- - 1 - A.if 1 Pencil Ask Your Stationer WORHY ine Ihcottiparable J0- THE COMMERCIAL BOOK STORE 183 North Commercial l&trcct, Salem, Oregon General Pencil Company , t I' ,You can't kill all the flies, 'but, you can keep, them all ij outside.

Sulphur and phos phorus are some of the poisons and ' repellents that may be used. In fighting these Insects while fumigants are hydro-cyanic acid carbon dfsulphide and pyrethrum fumes. Great care-must he exer cteed ln using these materials - as many are poisonous or explosive. Filling cracks and crevices is probably the most satisfactory method to evoke a permanent freedom from these pests. Cracks may be filled with an ordinary crack filler and wall, and wood work painted or varnished. " Another insect which harbors Itself' In cracks and crevices is the feedbtfg whose presence-, by :th way, Is not necessarily an Indica tion -of neglect tor "carelessness.
