FRANCE WANTS 24O, 100000
FEET OF SOUTHERN PINE
Lumber Business in Pine Promised
Good for 1922.


Good for 1922.
Entire sections of devastated France
will be rebuild with Southern pine, if
a deal now pending between Southern
pine interests and the French govern
ment is consummated.
The deal calls for the delivery Of
240,000,000 feet Of this lumber dur
ing the next three years, it was an
nounced Saturday by the Southern
Pine Association. 1t is valued at ST.
100000 to $8,O00,O00. Delivery
would be at the rate of 100000
feet year.
This is equal to about two weeks
deliveries of Southern pine mills now.
1t would be a great stimulus to the in
dustry. The order, if consummated,
will be the largest lumber contract for
export ever made.
According to tentative plans. the sale
would be at mill prices, and credit
would be extended.
P. S. Gardiner, of Laurel, Miss,
president of the Southern Pine Asso-
citation. has appointed the following
committee to assist in handling the big
project: Edward Hines of Chicago;
John H. Kirby of Houston; Hugh L.
White of Columbuia. Miss; Thomas
Hamilton of Live Oak, Fla; NJ. B.
Nelson of Kansas City; W. A. Picker
ing of Kansas City, R. M. Hallowell
of Elizabeth, La; F. H. Farwell of
Orange, Tex.
More than 50 mills have already an
nounced their willingness to participate
in the order.
This order, coupled with other con
ditions, indicates a prosperose year for
the lumber industry III 1922. Charles
IS. Keith, lumberman of Kansas City,
gave out the following statement along
that line: with shortage of 28,-
l000,000,0Q0 feet of production and
stocks; with a demand for lumber
which has this year been sufficiently
great to absorb all production and half
of the stocks; with the fact that mon
ey is working easier, bringing mort
cages and bond issues into ready de-
mand and consequently rendering
funds available for buildings with the
fact that depletion is proceeding at a
rate which new production cannot i'm
mediately equal, the situation clearly
argues and indicates that the year 1922
will be a year which lumbermen may
look forward to with no uncertainty,
but with confidence. Ii should be a
prosperous year.

Historic Tennis Balls.

historical fact that was impressed
upon the minds of children of past
generation was that certain king
was playing tennis when he was told
he had TO ascend the throne of Eng
land. 1t may bring back TO some the
remembrance of schoolroom days when
they hear that two tennis balls have
been found among the dust and cob
webs of the old rafters of Westmin-
ster hall They are said to date back
to the time of Henry VIII. who was
an ardent player of the royal game"
The balls are made of leather and
stuffed with human hair, all bals of
an early period being made In that
way. The leather has burst in several
places and faint traces of white may
be seen on the surface. The balls are
not both the same size, one being two
and a half inches in diameter and the
other only an inch and half. Whom
was King Harry playing with, and did
he feel impatient when he sent the
balls spinning into the rafters? 1t
was not lawn tennis then.-Christian

II Is very rare TINT great wealth Is

cnslonal Instances where men have
found gold or struck oil or written Il

result that the iloodgntes Of money
have been turned loose for them: but
such Instances are Of such rare occur
renee that they can be eliminated ms

The processes of thrift must be fil.
filled In the preparation OF success

The so.caled Napolcons OF finance
generally meet very early Waterloo.
Success In the material things OF life
