SOUTHERN PINE MILLS
BOOKING LARGE ORDERS


Southern pine mills have been book
ing in larger quantities than in some
time and producers feel more optimis-
tic each week, according to the Ameri-
can Lum herman, which says:
"For the week ending April 20, mills
reporting to the Southern Pine asso-
citation booked orders for 20 per cent
more per mill than ever reported for
the corresponding week of other years.
This does not mean that the week was
the best in the history of the industry,
for it was not, but 1T does mean that
buying Is steadily increasing and now,
at a season when BUSINESS generally
Stacks off somewhat, it continues.
"The hardwood market is possibly
not quite as active as it has been. but
with the shortage of stock, particular
ly the upper grades, prices remain firm
and are somewhat above the lever
which prevailed five weeks ago.
Prices on the whole exhibit greater
firmness Production remains at a
comparatively low level, and is below
shipments"

BARBER TO ADDRESS
JUNIOR CHAMBER
mi-MonthIy Luncheon at the
HiIIman-Live Topics to
Be Discussed

Indications point to a large attend
ance at the second semi monthly meet
ing of the Junior Chamber OF Com
morce, which will be held Wednesday,
at 1880 o'clock, at the Hotel Hillman.
Answers to large number OF cards
mailed Saturday have already been
received, assuring a heavy turnout of
the members. Since the inception of
this feature of the Junior Chamber
several weeks ago, it is expected that
this innovation will be very popular
with the membership.
Arlie Barber, ex-city commissioner,
will address, the body on socialism,
after which an open forum will be
conducted.
A varied and interesting programme
has been prepared by the committee,
headed by Irving M. Engel, and the
hotel management has promised a
pleasing luncheon served quickly. 1t
is the desire of the committee that
every member participating be on
time, as the luncheon will last only
one hour and will start and stop
promptly.
1t is the intention of the programme
committee to present to the members
at each luncheon meeting a speaker
OF prominence who viii make short
talks on various live topics of the day.
Presentation of each speaker, how
ever, does not indicate that the sub
ject discussed is Endorsed by the Junior
body, it was pointed out but is done
with an idea of giving to the body an
angle on the vital issues of the day.
The meeting will be presided over by
W. w. Tarleton, who will be followed
by other members OF the body from
week to week.
