Lumber Production
Lumber, the most used build
ing material in American homes,
is constantly becoming more
costly to manufacture. It would
pay anyone who thinks the price
of lumber is high to follow a log
from the tree to the sawmill.
Only a few years ago logs
were cut and rolled from the
stump to the mill- It is a differ
ent story today.
lagging railroads from ten to
twenty and fifty miles in length
are constructed in a more sub
stantial manner than transconlin
ental lines were twenty-five
years ago.
Logging equipment and en
gines are of the heaiest type.
The cost of timber land has risen
until the figures are almost stag
gering. Donkey engines, cables
and lumber camps represent
greater investments than a whole
sawmill a few years ago.
All of this expensive equip
ment has been made necessary
for large scale production and
transportation of logs, to mills
miles away. It is only by this
quantity production that the
price of lumber has been held
down so that it still remains the
cheapest and most universal
building material in this na
tion. The Manufacturer.
. Common Sense Roads
As county roads are pushed
farther out into the rural districts
away from the main paved high
ways, the cost of hardsurfacing
and the utilization of already
well packed road grades becomes
an important problem.
With the road tax bill mount
ing at a rapid rate, it is essential
that feeder roads be constructed
on as economical a basis as
possible consistent with a satis
factory type of pavement which
will involve a minimum of main
tenance cost. '

bison of Morgan reports 8 clear,

Sept. 1st is 2. 46 inches.
The Shop Early, Mail Early
campaign inaugurated by Post
master General New last year
proved to be an unqualified
success. It was of great benefit
to the people and alio enabled
post office employees to deliver
all the Christmas mail before
noon on December 25. The De
partment again this year asks
the hearty cooperation of the
public in order that the record
made Inst year may be equalled
if not excelled.
Vvhen you shop early and mail
early you are helping the clerks
in the post office to eat their
dinners home and you are greatly
benefiting yourselves. You have
a greater chance to!; secure a
better selection of gifts from the
stores, you have more time to
wrap then, securely and you are
sure that they will arrive at their
destination in time to be opened
Christmas morning. You are
also relieving the burdens of the
clerks behind the counters In the
stores, and you are giving a
practical demonstration of the
good will that Christmas time
signifies. Acting Postmaster
General. John H. Bartlett re
quests that you refrain from
using small envelopes in sending
your Christmas cards as this
very greatly retards the sorting
and distribution of the mails.
Let all of us pull together this
year, do our shopping early and
do our mailing early, let's make
it a genuine old-fashioned Christ
mas celebration, P. O. Dept.
xne lact is becoming more
generally recognized that the
elimination of reasonable grades
is not so important as the widen
ing of roads. The modern auto
mobile can go over a fairly steep
hill but there is danger in rapidly
moving vehicles passing on too
narrow a road.
Therefore, the tendency is to
widen the road from fence to
fence more like a street with
paved strip in the center and
gentle slopes on each side which
will enable several automobiles
to pass at a time if necessary.
This type of road construction
is being accomplished at a mini
mum of cost by the use of
atphaltic concrete which adapts
itself to an old road base already
well compacted or to a concrete
which needs resurfacing.
Commonf-ense ideas in road
construction are replacing a lot
of engineering bunk that has
cost the taxpayers 'millions of
dollars in the past-The Manu-
factuier.

Letting Him Down Easy
A contractor had a man In his
employ whom he wished to dis
charge. He did not wish to tell
the man outright that he was
tired, so he decided to write him
a nice letter, letting him down
easy, tour days pussed and the
contractor saw nothing of the
man. On the fifth day, when
the contrrclor came around to
look over his work, to his sur
prise he saw the discharged mun
working to beat the band.
"Hey, you," he culled, "didn't
I tell you In that letter you were
fired?"
"Yea, air," replied the man.
"It said I was fired in the middle
of the letter, but on the outside
of the envelope it said, 'Return
in five days.'" Indianapolis
