USE OF RED GUM INCREASING

Tho market demand for red sunl--onc

| very rapidly in the last six years. Pre-
vious to this time the manufacture of

| mental stage, l.ttle effort having been
| made to prevent its tendency to warp
| and twist. Judicious care in handling
| has. however. proved sufficient to climi-
| nate this Objectionable quality. and the
| usefulness and abundance of the red
| gum, with the growing scarcity of poplar
and cotton wood, which it resembles in
several ways have brought about its
| increasing use by the mills. until now
