LUMBER sTATEsBREATHEAsIER

For months past the Western
lumber industry has been facing
one of the most Critical periods in
its history due to general falling on
in business, coupled with higher
operating and shipping costs. Pro-
duction has been running but little
better than so percent below normal
The past month, however, has
shown an Improvement and for the
ending April 9Th, 119 mills repirt-
ing to the West Coast Lumbermen's
Association showed production of
but SO percent below normal.
The lumber business is still far
from satisfactory but this improve
ment offers encouragement.
Special representatives of the In
dustry are on their way to the
Orient to study trans-Paeific market
possibilities. Distributing points
on the Atlantic coast for water
shipments east are being established.
A reduction in freight rates to st.
Paul, Chicago. st. Louis and mid
dlewest points has been secured.
Building trades organizations in
various parts of the country ere
slowly yielding to the demand for
lower labor costs to correspond with
drop in living and material prices
and are reducing the wartime scale
of wages.

pone building on account of high
prices of lumber. Now is q. good
time to build that new barn you
have been wanting for severaAyears
and to make other improvements.
Begin now and get them done before
Spring work commences.
HERE in our business we are try-
ing to do uor part in bringing con-
ditions back where they ought to
be. Our years Of business expert

SENATOR WARREN,s WISDOM.

Senator Francis E. Warren OF
Wyoming, who has served his state
twenty-eight years In the SSenata.
and is now Chairman of the Appro-
priations Committee, the most i'm
portant financial post in our Gown
try. has put more good horse sense
into an article entitled "A Time for
Courage" than has appeared in all
the discussion of readjustment. He
looks upon the period OF location
and depression as a godsend to the
American people. compelling them
to think hard and work hard. Hear
a clear voice from the west.
I'VE cannot clear up the wreck
age of the war in a day. We should
len gthen out the time OF payment.
Let's get back on our feet as there
will be no end of prosperity.
Wages have reached extraordin-
ary figures, and in most lines OF pro-
duction form the principal Item OF
excessive costs that are breaking the
back of industry, and are defeating
the very object that they seek.
'If anyone wants to know why
our country grew prosperous between
1875 and 1890. it was because hard
times had made hardy men We
endured hardships in the Civil war
that caused us not to mind the hard
ships endured in developing our op-
portunities.
Lower wages would stimulate
building and provide work more
nearly all the year round, giving
the workers in fat, greater In
come and a better living for the
whole year, than is the case now.
Times, to put 1t bluntly, are
hard. But hard times do not last.
This country has seen conditions
vastly worse and has come smiling
through.
With the best credit In our his
tory, our manufacturers who were
up to the limit of normal production
before the war have their lines far
extended as result of wartime ex-
pansion.
Most progress is made In what
we call hard times. When every-
body is prosperous skill and effort
are little wanted. 1t is in hard
times that men think hard and work
hard.
Getting living is business.
not sport. Those OF us who have
good fortune can ascribe tito nothing
but earnest and Thoughtful effort"

Your Far|n Is Your

PERHAPS you never thought of
1T in just that way, but farming is a
great manufacturing business and
your farm is factory in the true
meaning of the word.
THE FACTORY manager over

and produce the most goods at the
least cost. s. In just the same way,
the farmer checks up his buildings

on, and builds whatever buildings
he needs to help produce more crops
with less layor and expense.
