' When Paul .Butvan took up effi ciency, engineering, he ''went at the cb with his customary thoroug' iness He did not' feel around clocking the crew with a stop watch, count ing motions ond deducting the. onei used for' borrowing chews," going for drlnKs, dodgihg the boss - and ! preparing lor quilting time. He de cided to cut out labor altogether.-' ', "What's the use," said Paul, '"of all this saving, swamping, sk'lddlng, decking,- gradine and icing roads, loading, hauling at-d landing. The object of the game U to get the trees to the Imdlng, alnt it? Well, why not do It and get it off your mind?" " So he hitched Babe to a section of land and snaked In the whole biv acress at one drag. At the landing the trees were cut off Ju.t like shearing sheep and the denuded . section hauled back to Its .original F place. This simplified matters ana mide the work a lot' easier.
