Roger T.. Simmons. Says Yankee Ex-
porters Are Regarded There as
Tricksters.

From a recent issue of the Mem
phis Commercial Appeal.
Standardization of export lumber
grades, cooperation among exporters
to give fair values, and propaganda
TO remove the prejudice against
American hardwoods are necessary
IL southern hardwood manufacturers
hope to get their fair share of the
rich South American business.
This message was brought to Mem
phis by Roger b. Williams, special
agent of the bureau OF foreign and
domestic commerce, United States
Department of Commerce, who was
guest and principal speaker at a
luncheon of the Memphis Lumber
mems Club in Hotel Gayoso recently.
Mr.. Simmons recently returned
from South America, where he in
vestigated lumber conditions, and he
gave Memphis lumbermen more valu-
able information relative to South
American conditions than any special
agent who has spoken in this city in
years.
South Americans have received the
poorest grades of southern hard
woods, Mr.. Simmons said, and have
been told by native importers that
they were receiving the best grades.
In consequence. they are turning to
japanese and Austrian woods be-
cause they believe North American
manufacturers are tricky.
Coasts Like United States
"South America is as interesting in
its vast area as in its peculiarly va
riable conditions" said Mr.. Simmons.
"The coast sections are modernly de-
veloped equal to any civic develope-
ment of the United States-conven-
fences such as the telephone, the te-
legraph, railroads. subways are the
same there as here. Two and three

see this situation change but little"
High Tariff on Lumber.
Under the subject of duty in South
American countries, Mr.. Simmons
mentioned the policy of the govern
ment to put high tariff on manufact-
ured wood products. This is to pro-
tect the woodworking industry.
"Any efforts made to market manu-
featured products will meet opposi-
ton, and the business after being de-
veloped discouraged by further rails

created for hardwoods in this line If

SAVED BY SUBMARINE
Chicagoan Rescued by Germans, Then
Set Adrift on Raft.

New York, May John d. Har-
rison, "a years old, of Chicago, who
has Just arrived in this city from
Liverpool, tells a story of having been
pulled aboard a German submarine
in the Bay of Biscay, after a ship OF
which he was steward had been sunk;
then cast adrift on a life raft, to be
picked up two hours later by Scotch
patrol boat, and finally landed at
Falmouth wearing a rough suit Of
clothes given to him by the German
submarine commander, through the
United States consul at Cardiff, Wales
Harrison said, he filed a claim with
the British admiralty for $3.50 for

tion in grading, and so variable are
succeeding shipments of the many
special grades that are offered to the
market that 1t is impossible for
consumer to depend upon the quality
OF lumber that he will receive. No
factor more than this has driven the
trade away from American hard
woods and opened the way for jap
anese oak. Austrian oak and Scan
dibavin and German hardwood. It
is impossible to convey to you gentle
men the sentiment of disdain and re-
proach that the South American deal
ers hold for American norwood and
yellow pine manufacturers.
This throws the stigma on your
industry that is not justly deserved.
1t casts reflection on our country,
and believe Gentlemen that you will
be willing, as the result of this in
vest:gation, to ask the government
to Join in with you toward making
our hardwood grading classification
OF standards as to quality for our
South American export shipments.
The importers have been told
about these grading rules in South
America, they have been informed
of YOUR grading certificates and rep
reseltation was made to them by me,
a representative of our government,
that the manufacturers would be
most ready to join a movement to-
ward standardizing the lumber being
marketed in those parts"
Organization Also Needed.
An outline was then given as to
the progress that substitutes for wood
had made in South America-the re-
suits of the propaganda carried on
by steel and cement manufacturers,
and how steel and concrete were dis
placing wood for many uses where
wood is best. 1t was shown hat there
was no organization to further the
| interest of lumber in any country of
South America. The largest dealers
were the importers, who were as
willing to sell steel and cement as
wood. The opposition being waged
by the substitute men against wood
is left unchallenged, and as result
substitutes at higher prices are find
ing increasing markets.
1t was suggested that the situation
be met by allied association of lum-
er manufacturers, box manufacturers
sash and door manufacturers having

err Manufacturers Association estab-
lish on the east coast and west coast
of South America propaganda or
ganization functions. The purpose
of this movement are purely for
education, no sales are to be made,
the work to be done in cooperation
with the exporters and importers.
The trade channels as they exist,
therefore, are to be left unopposed.
South Americans are not wood
users, know little about properties,
and usually turn to employment of
adobe or stone where an American
seeks a piece of lumber. To educate
the public to the employment of wood
where wood is best is one of the para
mount needs of the South American
trade, Mr.. Simmons said.
In conclusion Mr.. Simmons i'm
pressed upon the lumbermen that

change to one decided primitiveness,
reminding one that they are probably
the same as those of our country 100
and $50 years ago. Four and five
hundred miles inland the inhabitants
are in stages of slavery-painted
faces and bodies-no clothes; weap-
ons of war, the bow and arrow, the
arrows having stone heads. Although
the undeveloped portions include the
largest areas, the mistake must not
be made that South America is an
undeveloped country, because where
the consumption is greatest is where
the conditions are most modern.
IAN erroneous impression prevails
throughout the United States. es-
pecially among lumbermen, that
dealers and business men OF South
America are men Of little intelligence
and with low business ideas. No
greater mistake has ever been made.
These men are, in fact, well educated.
They employ the same ethical moral
standards that you do, and their
methods of doing business are back
ed by principle, the same as those
actuating you.

Great Field to South.

"You have heard of the vast forests
of South America and of the thick
stands of large diameter size trees,
and the great heights of standing
timber. Not one-half has been told
you. If you could see these forests
you would behold them with wonder
ment, and would think their exploita-
ton presented an unusual business
opportunity. Your ideas will change,
however, when l tell you that only 5
to 10 per cent of these stands in trop-
ical countries, and from 3S 1-3 to so
per cent in Chill, are marketable.
The composition of the tropical for
ests are so varied as to species, and
the most of these different kinds are
hard, dense. heavy hardwoods, that
to secure the few kinds that are
merchantable one is compelled to cut
his way through to them with the
greatest difficulty and at high cost.
MANY foreigners, Europeans as
we'll as Americans. have undertaken
timbering in these sections and sthe
result has been failure in nearly
every country. The native woods
that are marketed are gotten out by
natives. who have small ideas of the
value of their own labors, and are
able to do the work for small cost.
Even under such conditions American
woods meeting s31 duty in Brazil
can undersell the national wood. I
look for little change in the condition
for many years to come. North
America is marketing nearly 1,00o,-
100000 feet yearly, when business is

 The Supreme Court in an opinion handed down in the case of Mayme Paul, administratrix. against M M. Stuekey of Newport, held that attor- neys are not exempt from summons in civil cases when paracipating in court proceedings outside of their respective counties.
 Stuckey was an attorney in crimi- nal trial being heard in the Pulaski Circuit Court, when summons was served on him in civil suit brought by Mrs. Paul alleging that Stuckey owed the Paul estate $700 When the civil suit was called for hearing a mo- tion filed by Stuckey that the sum mons be quashed, and the suit dis missed on the grounds that the sum- mons had not been legally served, was sustained
 Stuckey's contention that attorneys capacity in counties other than that in which they resided, should be exempt from summons in civil cases, was up held by the lower court, but reversed by the Supreme Court
 The Supreme Court sent the case back to the lower court with instruc- tions that Stuckey's motion be over ruled

 The state had brought suit against the Arkansas Lumber Company for working a night watchman more than 10 sours a day "The purpose of the law" said the courts decision, was to protect working men and laborers wholly employed in work connected with operation of the mills.
 The courts decision sets out that while the night watchman was on duty no machinery was in use and that the employment did not come within the scope of the 10-hour law.
 The lower court held that the To- hour law was unconstitutional, but the Supreme Courts decision did not rule on the statutes validity, setting out that, as the proof did not show any violation of the law the question of the laws constitutionality was not be- fore the court

is substantial-looking farm Darn of small size designed in accordance with most approved practice in farm build ing architecture. It is 32 feet by 26 feet in size on the geound, and the roof reaches up high enough to make d good-sized now over the stable.
 The concrete foundation is built up above the level of the barnyard about IS inches to protect the sills of the building from -moisture The sill of the wooden building is laid in soft con- crete mortar on top of the foundation wall, and anchor bolts tie the sill firm ly to the concrete.
 The floor over the COW stable and horse stable is made in the usual way, except that the joists are tied together at the ends and spiked into the stud ding at the sides to tie the building to- gether. The timbers are all light and are put together on the plank frame construction plan, so that the trussed crossties help materially in making a solid building.
 The shape of the roof also strength ems the building, so that even though the timbers are light the structure is very strong.
 There is one central feed alley which serves the horses on one side and the cows on the other, plan which saves great many steps at feeding time.
 Dutch doors are provided so that the upper parts of the doors may be left open for ventilation.
 The horse stalls are made to use as double stalls when necessary. There is a door which makes the standing double stall into box stall when this is an advantage. The box stall with the outside door is convenient for a mare and foal, since they can run out into the yard and come back to the Box stalls are convenient in all barns where live stock is stabbed. An interesting feature of the plan is the hay door. It is made ten feet in width and is hung with weights like window sash, so that it may be moved up or down and left in any po- sition wanted. In summer time while the now is being filled and for some time after, this door is pulled down to the full opening. Afterwards it may be partially closed until the hay is done sweating.
 The weights move up and down in boxes at the sides of the studding. A raceway little longer than the height of the door is necessary to allow for the stretch of the cord.

The Miller County Quorum Court, and several others. state officials believe, refused to make the road levy until 1t was voted upon. It is probable, Mir Owen said, that the next Legislature will be asked to change the present law governing quorum courts to make the two dates coincide and that the Legislature prob ably will be asked also to offer some speedy relief for counties which voted the road tax in the election, but in which the quorum court did not ap- propriate.
