Yellow Pine Situation
 At Shreveport Brighter

A Shreveport special to the American Lumberman says:
 With all items manifesting tendency to advance in price and demand showing considerable improvement of late, the yellow pine situation is brighter than IL was some weeks ago. There was sigae decline in the prices of dimension stoch for whle, but this slump is being over come and now there is little concession made to obtain orders. As rule, mills that formerly depended on transit busl- ness to take care of their production are not having quite as easy task moVihs their lumber at satisfactory figures, ana transit car operators have made some large cuts in prices of dimension, paftic- ularly No. ?, in order to move cars near ing the reconsigning point, evidently. This, however, is having very little, 1t any, effect upon the general market, and all sorts of dimension and boards, speak, ing generally, are firm and steady.
 With the exception of open cars Tor shipping timbers, which cars are rather hard to secure, the railroad equipment supply is almost normal in the mill sec ton, with box car empties quite plenti- full The railroad movements, however, are rather slow, with much delay at em- bargo points, but taking the situation as a whole the lumbermen are getting desired results in the matter of ship ments.
 The labor shortage continues more or less acute, with no relief in sight, and number of small plants are forced temporarily to close down. Many negro aborers are going from the mills to the farms.
 Several lumber companies have moved into the new Merchants building, 5hreveport's second skyscraper, and the tallest building by two stories in the city, costing around $5O0,0OO. Following are lumber companies quartered in the new building: Frost-Johnson Lumber company, T. c. Clanton Lumber corn pany. Shreveport Lumber company. Lod-

THE HUM OF INDUSTRY IN THE SOUTH
Florida Holding It's First
 State Fair and Exposition

The Florida State Fair and exposition to the state has become increasingly ev- ident, says the Times Union of Jackson vile. Something was needed to show the tourist and homeseelser the wide range of agricultural and horticultural prod ucts the state produces Something was also needed to convince the dweller in certain sections of Florida that other sections were contributing to the wealth of the state quite as much as they, even if devoted to- crops they did not assay to raise, owing, perhaps, to climatic diff ferences. Even if the resident of any section of the state has been unable to attend he will learn from neighbors who have been or will be here of the great and varied wealth of the states he lives in The homeseeker has visualized he- fore him the possibilities of each county exhibiting and learns in few minutes In this convincing manner much that he might not become aware of even with hours of study of literature, though it were ever so well illustrated.
 Incidents occurring every day since the fair opened indicate that it's value as an advertisement of the capabilities ot the state have not been overrated. For instance, an exhibitor in the poultry Ge- partment who has thousands of birds on his farm in New York state and has brought some hundreds of them to this falr-the first time he has exhibited in Florida-expressed his surprise at the size and quality of the native birds shown and announced his intention of buying tract of land and establishing poultry farm in Florida as an adjunct 10 the one he has up north. An Ohio farmer after round of the county ex- hlb1ts, said, enthusiastically, that he had learned more in 10 minutes in that building about Florida than he had gath cred In several tours around the state tours made by railroad A moving pic- ture of these county exhibits he thoue hit

 live stock are all from a district free of the Texas fever tick, and their new home will be in territory likewise free of that pest. which soon will be sradi- cated from the whole of the south.
 Within the next few months many thousands of catle and sheep will be brought into the cut-over land region of the southern states, the shipments to come from the cattle country of Texas and from the northwest where home stead laws that have recently become operative soon will cut off the stock growers from the open range. The stock men have been attracted to southern states primarily because it Is the only section of the country still having avail- able extensive tracts of pasture lands, but they also have been strongly inf1u- enced by advantages of an abundance of pure water, dependable rainfall, and a climate so mild that stock graze in open pastures practically nine months in the year and require little, if any, shelter at any season.

New Orleans. March 10.-(special) Probably no shipment of live stock ever made in this country has been the ob- ject of such widespread interest as at- taches to a trainload of sheep and goats which passed through New Orleans to- day, en route from Dryden, Tex, to Isa- bel, La These animals represent the vanguard of mighty army of live stock that is being assembled to popu- late the vast cut-over land region of the south. vast area of heretofore unde- yeloped and nonproductive agricultural territory.

Planning Improvements

A Dallas special to the American Lumberman says:
 In a statement before Special Mas ter Joseph D. Savers in the case ot the railroads of Texas against the state railroad commission, involving what is known as the Shreveport rate order c. l.. Wallace of New Mexico assistant to the president of the Texas and Pacific railroad, said here that the cost of materials that enter into railroad construction has increased from 6S per cent to 39o per cent since 1916. Mir. Wallace made the further announcement that the Texas and Pa- cific has adopted plans which have been formally approved by the govern ment for improvements and better ments to it's Texas lines this year that will involve an expenditure of $3,452,- 2c0. Mir Wallace stated that the fuel bill of the Texas and Pacific last year was $20000o0 as compared with $i.- 50O.000 for the preceding year.

The machinists' strike is naturally having something of a depressing effect on business in Birmingham, but in spite of the disagreement between cer- tain employers and their employees and other temporary handicaps, many lines of industry are humming nightly.
 Most of the miners are at work and coal operators, as a rule, announce prac- tically capacity production. State Mine Inspector Charles H. Nesbitt will shortly have complete data in hand for tabu- Hating his annual report. Unofficial re- ports indicate an output of 200o0,000 tons in the Alabama district for 1917. Full returns may bring the total up to nearly 2, ,0o0,000 tons.
 Mining operations in January and Feb ruary have been at a rate which would warrant the prediction that 1918 would witness new high record-probabIy 22,- 100000 tons.

 GipeS Three to
 Service In War

With two sons already in the service of the United States, mother yesterday parted with her third son, when Roy Stewart, for three years clerk in the Ma tIonal Bank of Arizona, left for Camp E Funston, to join the motor cycle division of the quarter masters corps.
 Roy volunteered his services to the colors. Because of the death of his father, w. H. Stewart last January, he was placed in Class 3. The mother had already two boys in the army and the board felt Roy should remain with her, at least until her affairs might be adjusted. A few days ago the mother decided she could spare her third son now, if he wished to volunteer, and in consequence the little service flag at the home. 325 North Seventh street, will hereafter have three stars instead of two. Mrs. Stewards other sons in the service are, Lieutenant Urben F. Stewart, in the heavy artillery at Fort Scott; and Willis l. Stewart, ouartermaster sergeant, Camp Funston.
 Roy Stewart left on the 7 o'clock train last night.

 Russian Reputation Saved
 Before coming to the prayer the memorial recited that failure of the Russian people to comprehend what the struggle for democracy meant and inferentially blamed them for falling down. AIr. Goodwin moved that that paragraph be stricken out. He said that the Russians had already suffered enough, beside for two years they had borne almost the whole brunt of the war. Mir. Lines agreed with this view and the elimination of this paragraph was ordered along with some other amendments. pr. Davis of Pinal took occasion to say that he was good patriot yet he felt that his patriotism would not be impugned if he spoke in deprecation of She fact that while we are saving wheat to be shipped our friends on the other side were con- verting grain into distilled liquors.

 The most important business on the senate side was the action taken on the council of defense bill. There were already three such bills before the leg islature. Another was reported from the committee to which it has been given directly by President Claridge. IL was prepared by the state council of defense. The committee after malI- ing certain changes, gave it the name and place of the Claypool bill and fla vorably reported if.

AIR PAGEANT AT
 KELLY FIELD |S
 ONE OF WONDER
Sergeant Major Jean V. Spear Paints Most Ora
 phic Word Picture of Red Cross Day Maneuyer

Sergeant Major Jean V. Spear of the 235th aero squadron at Kelly Field, in a recent letter described the aviation feature of the Red Cross program May 25. He said:
 The program opened with about l5O machines climbing up, apparently from the horizon, vending tortuous way across sthe sky to the point where the main part of the crowd was congresated. They came first in single file and in beautiful align ment. each planes nose in a direct line with the tail of the machine in front. They wound back and forth across the sky like some incredibly long, aerial serpent leisurely writh- ing through the air. The sight can- not be adequately described and would, as the carnival bankers de- clare, have to be seen to be al,- preciated.'
 The next feature was formation flying. Several machines, apparently as close together as they could get, flew the sky in the form of a V, as you may have seen wild geese dv. There was not a waver in the line, and a perfect and literal flying wedge aroused the spectators to the highest pitch of enthusiasm.
 The majority or the SlSDtSeeFS, however, were more interested in the succeeding number of the program. The cracks took to the air and nprly produced a score of heart failure. in the audience with their stunts. Climbing to an altitude Of several thousand feet. they would come tumbling out of the white, fleecy clouds in spins. dives, tail-spins. loop the loops, etc. Two ships pulled off sham battle, dart ing about. over and around each other like a pair of frolicsome swallows. One fellow kept even the experienced mechanicians in state of suspense by rolling his planes over and over at an exceedingly low altitude. His plane would revolve about once in it's own length. but such was the skill of the pilot that it would not deviate from the straight line in which he was flying.
 "The thrills were concluded by Rodman Law. the famous parachute jumper. leaping from a machine driven by Eddie Stinson, at height of about 5000 feet. Law fell a hun dred feet before the parachute opened fully, but the whole thing was done so quickly that he was dropping swiftly down to earth before the crowd realized what had happened
 The plane kept circling about him until he reached a height of 100 feet looking for all the world like some monstrous mother-haw anNlouslV l lowering some adventurous chick that had decided to try his own wings
 for the first time. Law landed With

ERSIDE PARK

Riverside Park is rapidly becoming the mecca for the pleasure seekers of Phoenix. It is a place where people can enjoy the outdoors with the added attraction of swimming and other amusements.
 Much of the success in an enter prise of this nature is the manner in which it is kept up and made the source of clean, wholesome entertain ment. Mir. J. F. Vinard. the superin- eendent. is a long experienced show and park manager, and insures the public that the park will be conducted as place for family parties and en- joyable public gatherings.
 The swimming pool (which has been freshly painted) is already calling out many regular swimmers and those who love the water. Mr. c. B. Gregory, well known locally, is in charge of the bath house.
 Serving the public are some very attra active and useful concessions, such as the hamburger stand" the "cool drink headquarters. smokes, eats, and the fascinating ping pong game
 Chas. Asche. the manager of the Riverside Refreshment Co.,, only wants a chance to serve you a cool drink and sell some real home made candy, made on the premises. It is hard to escape those delicious sandwiches made by Mrs. Riddell and after eating one you feel like smoke. Next door Mrs. Ruth k. l.. Hanson keeps the brand you like and after lighting up a short stroll will take you to the Ping Pong game. This fascinating amuse- ment gets your money but there is al ways something in return.
 Perhaps by that time you feel empty and right handy is the restaurant con- ducted by that well known owner of the Ramona Candy Kitchen, MT. T. '. Sano. The Chop Suey and Noodles his chef serves are very superior.
