TO GIVE TIMBER "a SHOT,

The best method Of applying pre-
servatives to timber is by the pressure
process which is used by practically
all large commercial companies, says
the American Forestry Magazine OF
Washington. BY this means the oil
or mineral salt is forced deeply into
the tissues Of the wood, thus giving a
thoroughness and permanence not
otherwise attainable. There are va
rious processes, but all use large and
expensive apparatus by which vacu-
ums and heavy pressure may be ap-
plide in large treating sylinders,
which are usually six feet or more in
diameter and hundred feet of more
1 nlength.

MONEY AND MARKETS.
3ocCCCCCO 0c0CCcCs

The last thirty days have been
characterized by slowly improving
sentiment and by some expansion OF
production. The most marked gains
have naturally been In those lines
where recovery has been the longest
delayed. Bituminous coal production
Ia increasing, and while partially sea-
sonal, this to some extent Is due To
enlarged operations In the iron and
steel industry, which is now running
at about 40 per cent. of capacity.
There has been less change in the
rate Of production Of other leading in
dustries, but gains made since mid
summer have SO far held. Activity in
the building trades Is we'll maintained.
Autumn buying is reflected in an
improved retail dry-goods trade. 1t
is noteworthy that this betterment is
more marked in rural districts than
In Industrial centers. This Is clearly
the result Of the marketing Of cotton
and grain crops at fairly satisfactory
prices, and affords grounds for conf
dence that the extreme depression in
the agricultural industry Of the Unit
ed States has definitely passed.
Wholesale PRICES of number of
raw materials have advanced since
September Is, vile the markets in
several lines have been somewhat
more active. Caution on the part Of
the wholesale trade has served to
keep the volume Of manufacturers
advance orders small, but frequent
repetition of orders for immediate de-
livery has thus far served to render
the present basis Of operations fairly
stable. There is no doubt that the i'm
provement which has thus far taken
place. Is more or less seasonal in
character, but it is nevertheless true
that the progress made toward nor
NAL business is sound. Such tempo
rary setback as may occur after the
autumn buying should, therefore,
bring no disbursement Viewing
conditions as a whole, the facts just
ify conservative optimism as to the
future.
Exports of wheat, cotton, copper !
and other raw materials have placed
the United States in dominant posi-
tion nthe world commodity markets
Natural resources and modern meth
DDS of production have enabled the
United States to produce more CON-
modties Of those classes than the
domestic market could consume, at
prices enabling the American pro-
Queer to meet competitors in the in
ternational markets.
The United States is not sufficiently |
dependent on foreign markets to just
ify the belief that business recovery
in this country must await recovery
abroad. At prices determined in the
International markets American raw
for export will find an out

MUCH TIMBER DECAY.

lit Is estimated that eight billion
feet of untreated structural timbers
decay every year, says the American
Forestry Association Of Washington
II that whole amount were to be erat-
cd we would actually save about four
billion feet of lumber every year. That
is to say, it would render unnecessary
the annual deforestation Of some four
hundred thousand acres Of land.
There could be no truer or more ef-
fective forest conservation, and every
home builder who by the use of pre-
servatives, lengthens the life of his
house or barn, performs an effective
service to the cause Of forestry.

lot BY far the greater part Of the
entire manufactured product Of the
country has always been sold at home
and AZ price adjustments are COM
pleted, the domestic market will again
absorb the major portion Of our pro-
ductlon.
II is true that the buying power OF
the domestic consumer has been much
curtalled. High taxes have cut heav-
lily into the sums which might have
been spent for clothing, furniture and
all those articles which have made
the life Of the average American fam
lily 80 rich In comforts and luxuries.
Declines in the prices Of agricultural
products and widespread unemploy-
ment have reduced the buying ability
Of large part fthe population, and
high rent, high fuel costs and his
transportation charges have operated
In the same direction. Many Of these
items represent temporary malad-
justment, and their effect will prad-
ually lessen and tend to disappear.
Another factor of grea tsignificance
which cannot be overlooked. Is the
growing spirit of thrift. In the United
States, as elsewhere, much extrava-
gance undoubtedly reulted from the
period of high waves and high prof
its. 1t is nevertheless true that large
sections Of the public took advantage
Of the opportunity to establish savings
accounts and to begin the purchase Of
homes, while the mide distribution Of
Liberty bonds familiarized many with
in securities. Except in
a few areas the widespread and Sc
we're unemployment has not material
ly reduced savings bank deposits,
while in some localities steady gains
in such deposits have been made
throughout the period of depression.
Sharp curtailment of income has i'm
pressed the necessity of saving on
mayn who failed to take advantage of
higher incomes. Econ
omy has become fashionable. The
time has passed when an yconsider-
able section of the public will buy re-
CARELESS of cost. Sales policies based
on a belief that buying can be slim
ulated by artificial methods and that
another era of extravaganza can be
induced under present conditions will
not succeed.
The American consumer, however,
has suffered no material permanent
'urtailment Of purchasing power.
Goods of all kinds, in large volume,
ian be sold in every part of the Unit
ed States today, if they are staple in
and if prices are such as
to represent real values to conserva-
tive purchasers. As the volume of
goods thus sold expands, employment
will automatically increase and, in
turn, new purchasing power will de-
velop. The domestic market assures
The American producer an outlet.

 TO MAKE CAMPAIGN
 FOR CHILDREN'S AID

Montgomery. october e7.-(Special.) Friends of the Alabama Children's Ala society, headed by Terry T. Greii. chairman, are making preparations for an active campaign to Dc con ducted in behalf of the society during the coming week. MT. Greil Is vice president of the society and Is vital ly interested in its work. Speakers representing the society have ap- peared in Montgomery before the va- rious civic clubs this week asking their moral support for the campaign. Dr. Morris Newfield of Birmingham appeared Tuesday before the Kiwanis club Mrs. l.. B. Bush, director of the state child welfare department, ap- peared Wednesday before the Rotary club, and Mrs Ralph Barrow of Bir- mingham will speak Thursday and Friday before the Civitan and Ex- change clubs.
 Since the campaign held last year the society has rendered much service to the state. It is the policy of the society to hold families together and to rehabilitate broken families wher- ever possible. Wherever, that Is found impossible and the juvenile courts decide that the child or children shall be taken out of such homes, they are committed to the society with the un- derstanding that as soon as they have been sufficiently rehabilitated physi- cally, homes will be found for them. Institutional care is provided only for those that may be subnormal or un- suited for family home life.
