Dor, ranges between 3 and ! s.
cents. Fence posts treated III
this way have been in place ff-
teen to twenty years, and are
still sound. In addition to the
low cost, wooden posts have sew
eral advantages over metal or
concrete, namelys
Creosoted posts hold staples
well, greatly facilitating t h q
erection or the dismantling of 81
fence. Such a fastener is much
easier to repair than those used
on metal or concrete posts.
Creosoted posts are stiff, nei-
Their bending nor breaking. Met
al posts are often bent by a large
animal in a pasture, and are with
great difficulty Strengthened.
Concrete posts are often snapped
through the carelessness of .
driver in backing a heavy load
into fence.
Creosoted posts are light and
easily handled many may be
handled at one time on wagon,
and one is but small load for d
man. If it becomes necessary, to
move a fence the creosoted posts
are easily pulled, which is not
true Of concrete posts.
TIL q obvious advantage Of
using creosoted posts rather than
ordinary wood posts which ars
not creosotcd is that the ordi-
nary post will rot out in short
time, necessitating constant re-
pair Of fences and replacing Of

Railroads are being laid

leaves the big mill every day.
That is just one Of the mills, and

others.
you'll notice in one of the
pictures a bunch Of negro women
wearing mems overalls. They
are using hundreds of women
around the mills, putting them
to doing the lighter type Of work,
such as stacking light lumber,
pushing trucks along the rails,
handling odd jobs. This releases
the men for the man 's-sized Jobs.
sThe mills are running night
and day. Electric light plants
brighten the yards and guards
are on duty every hour in the
twenty-four to keep oilers or
trouble-makers away.
Not all the lumber is going
direct to the Southern sfripyards,
but it is all going into some
branch Of the Government sery-
ice or some enterprise approved
by the Government. Some Of the
tirnbers are being shipped to
Chicago, for the shipyards on the
Great Lakes. Some Of the lum-
Der perhaps went into the big
