JVNB 27. 1015 LI MBER EACES COMPETITION Th decline in the lumber industry during the last seven yeais in the Northwest has been tremendous and affects us all. In 1929 the industry had 744 living units while this year only 363 are operating. Production fell from 10 billion board feet to four billion feet Not only the average wage per worker (formerly $1400) has dropped but there are the number of those employed which is only a fraction of what it was in 1929 when 86,000 were em ployed. Coupled with the decline in the lumber Industry has been the stopping of residential construction. Only about five jter cent as many homes were built in 1934 and 1934 as had been the average constructed before 1929. The lumber industry in the west has lost 60 per cent of its business. It has not all been due to the depression, however. A large portion of this business has been taken over by its competitors in steel, cement, wall board, fiber boxes, etc. The ability of the West Coast lumber to remain a large industry and our largest employer rests upon its ability to keep down cost and hold a highly competitive market ------------ e------------ SOCK THE RICH OR HITTING THE POOR President Roosevelt seems to have stolen the thunder of Huey Long and others with their “Share the Wealth", “End Poverty” programs with his “Sock the Rich" tax idea Sounds like a popular subject but like most schemes we feel that in the long run the knock out blow will be given the poor. Nearly all taxes finally fall on the honest laboring man and on small business. "Socking the Rich” and shar ing the wealth is merely making a tax collector out of some one else besides the government. It is a sugar coated way of getting us ail to pay more. The rich oil companies pay all the gas taxes but no one believes it is done out of the profits because they know it is added to each gallon of gasoline sold. The tax is not so plain on other items we buy but it is there just the same. Cannibalism has been abolished; that took thousands of centuries. Slavery has been abolished: that took thous ands of years. Poverty will be aliolished and that will be the beginning of civilization. The real problem is to abolish ignorance, superstition and selfishness That task will take a million years. For tunately, the human race has many millions of years ahead of it. It is in its infancy now, only 12,000 years from the Stone Age. -------------e What’s in your head can butt down mountains, if you only realize it and apply it. --------------- *--------------- Take your hard knocks and expect them. If you can show no bruises then you have not put up a good fight. The administration seems to be more concerned with budgeting the balance than in balancing the budget. The man who is willing to back Roosevelt to your last dollar is usually a good Democrat. ------------- «------------- There used to be people who got mad when charity was offered them. _________♦ _________ Frogs, like many other croakers, haven’t much else to do. --------------- • --------------- Adam never had a chance to flirt with another woman. ------------- 0------------- In being kind to dumb brutes, why not include father? ----------e---------- The dangerous age is between one and eighty. ------------- ♦------------- There are women loafers as well as men loafers. ------------- ♦------------- One can be a fairly good liar without much practice. ---------- e---------- With some a moratorium is always on. ------------- ♦------------- The brain is as strong as its weakest think. ------------- e------------- The wages of sin is sometimes alimony.

QZ« FAMILY , DOCTOR JOHN JOSEPH GAINES MÛ WE MUST BE ALERT This week one of my neighbor towns—a “county seat” town, was startled by the development of two cases of typ hoid fever! The excitement was like that of a military In vasion almost Typhoid fever! Instantly the physicians sprang into action—the source of the infection must be found—and wiped out. It was discovered to be in the city’s water supply. Two things Imperative and without delay; First, boll ALL WATER used by the population of the city,—and Im munize as many as possible by giving the necessary vaccine that is now of proven value. The town is doing just that. An epidemic of typhoid must be prevented. Elven as 1 write this, the news reached me—that one of the cases, a bright young man,—died of the fever. I remember the Spanish-American War days; various army camps reeked with typhoid; vaccination was un known. Came the immense Word War army—all immun ized—no typhoid cases that I heard of. A case of typhoid fever in your Community, if you should be so unfortunate as to have one, should bring in stant investigation of the water-supply; If the water is found pure, then search all foods and sanitation within the district. Don’t trust your road overseer or street commis sioner to conduct the Investigation. It Is the duty of your physician—if he cannot do It he must have it done properly. You can’t tell whether water contains typhoid by Just look ing at a pailful of It. ..Call the bacteriologist. The typhoid germ is a "bacclllus.” That means "rod- shaped.” Like a short section of hair—only many times smaller—invisible. The typhoid bacclllus will live In well- water indefinitely. It attacks the human intestines, where the disease “runs Its course.” We can Immunize. Mo -« fo n c tllia tio r F»pvcts<» Hsault From Early Debt Adjustm ent W ork To Salem, O re.

Spink. Olto and I went dowu to the dock. Of course we knew perfectly well that boys about our age wasn't -upposed to hang around down on the lin k , but that doesn't bother us any. 'Course the only times I ever have been on the dock I've got kicked off. but you know the ! only sayin' "if at first you don’t , succeed, try. try, again.'' so we sneaked back on again this time. Well as we were slipping around keeping on the lookout for the three officers In blue uniforms who enjoyed the privileges of kicking ' us off we kept our weather eyes peeled for any signs o' Captain ) Brewster. CapCn Brewster is 'most the best man I know not countin' preachers and such, and he used j to be captain of the “U. S. Maine." Now though, he has retired from active sea life and such on account of his awful bad rheumatism. He is the Idol of every boy in Star i Cove for he never L to busy to , spin us a yarn, or explain things about ships. Suddenly 1 spied him sitting over on the pile of boxes in the sun smokin' his old clay pipe. With a merry whoop we raced toward him. j "Wall, wall," he cried, "avast | Ihar mates. I've been keepln' my dead lights peeled for ye, lads. Sez 11 tu mysel' them younglo's will be long directly a wantin' Old Capt'n Brewster to spin 'em a yarn 'er two. Am 1 right mates?" Hit Jolly old face was wreathed In sm iles, and he winked at no body In particular as ae finished. "You bet we do," I yelled anil then sat down on a box along side o ’ him. When Spink and Otto were seated he started to spin us an old time sea-tale. • • • CHAPTER III. Captain Brewster's Y arn "I'll tell ye about the time I wut shipwrecked on the Isle of Jarvle when I was fust mate on board the Bounciu Betsy, ' he began and gaxed at us lmpreaslvly.'Tt you Alshee tu listen."

Finally, Jest as I wuz about ready to give up hope, we sighted land and so we sailed as fast as we could toward It.
