DURABILITY OF LUMBER
NOT DEPENDENT UPON
TIME OF CUTTING

The time Of the year IN which the
farmer cuts his timber has little effect
upon the durability or other properties
Of the wood if it is properly taken
care of after il is cut Many of the
theories advanced regarding the dura-
bility of wood attribute too much inn
portanee to the time of cutting. More
attention might we'll be given to the
method OF handling the timber at diff
ferent times Of the year. according to
the Forest Products Laboratory, Mad
ison, Wisconsin.
Timber cut during the spring and
summer is more likely to be attacked
by insects and fungi Organisms that
produce stain and decav) because the
freshly cut logs are in the most favor
able condition for attack at the very
time the insects and spores Of fungi
are the most active.
What Causes Checking.
Seasoning takes place more rapidly
during the warm months and conse-
quently there is more danger of ex-
cessive checking Lumber checks as
the result Of uneven shrinkage Thus,
the end grain Of wood giving off
moisture faster than the side grain,
will cause checking. The surface layers
drying out faster than those in the
interior or portion OF a board fully
exposed to the drying effects Of the
air, losing its moisture before an adj
jacent section not so exposed, also
causes checking In order to reduce
checking, the posts poles, logs, or lum-
Der should be piled openly in a shaded
but dry place. In no case should they
be allowed to lie in direct contact with
the ground because decay and stain are
very likely to develop. If the bark is
to be removed, il peels most readily
in the spring.
Cut in Late Fall or Winter
Timber cut in the late fall or winter
does not season so quickly and is
therefore less apt to check than dur
ing the hotter months, and the likeli-
hood of injury from insects and fungi
is practically negligible. Insects and
fungi do not attack wood out of doors
during cold weather BY the time
warm. weather arrives the wood has
partially seasoned and damage from
these causes is lessened. Winter cut
ting, therefore, has its advantages, but
not because of the small amount
of sap or moisture in the wood in the
winter, as is frequently believed. There
is little difference in the moisture con-
tent of the green wood in winter or
summer.
The warm, damp months of summer
are also conducive to the develop
ment Of blue stain in timber This
stain is caused by minute fungi which
grow within the sapwood cells. The
Objectionable blush appearance in the
wood is combination Of the light color
of the wood and the dark color of the
fungous threads in the wood.
Blue stain often lowers the value Of
the lumber for natural finish surfaces
because of the discoloration, but it is
not an early stage Of decay; however
the same conditions favorable to blue
stain are also favorable to and often
lead to infection with decay producing
fungi, which of course reduce the
durability of the lumber.

HASTE is MAKING WASTE

And the deadline was not set Unfortunately ahead
in the future when it was fxed-it was announced.
as being distant only matter of mere days
The result as might have been expected, and,
as doubtless it was expected has been to put these
local political authorities everywhere into feverish,
if not frantic activities getting together projects
overnight and hurrying their applications off thru
the mill of the federal machinery, alias red tape.
That sort of administration is misunderstanding.
In such extreme haste to which these political
units have been subjected, it will be impossible for
them to exercise that care and studous attention
necessary for compliance with the stipulated de-
tails as to give their applications authenticity.
And much more detrimental even than that, it
will guarantee the projection of some Improvement
plans which are utterly exeuseless, and designed in
the thoughessness oeeasioned by such haste large
" to get local spendingafngers into this huge fed
eral pie. ' 'eN''.'- 't'... .".' "'
In such wanton running to and fro, species Of
haste is being developed which not only makes for
waste but for the utter elimination of the COM

The annual reunion OF Flat
Rock school students was held in

A large number of. teachers,
students and their families were

family, of Winston-Salem, who
come here every year for this oc-
casion were among those present.
Mr.. Reed was principal of the
school during the term Of 1915-1G.
The program for the afternoon
consisted of songs, speeches and
string music. Mr.. Martin Garren,
a former student of the school,
delivered very interesting speech
on "Public Education and It's
Progress"
The meeting adjourned at )
o'clock and a picnic lunch was
served in the gymnasium.
This reunion grows larger each
year. 1t is more than just a get
together: it renews friendships OF
years ago, when boys and girls

and cleaned the building in order
to have a comfortable place in
which to learn reading, writing

1t is impossible when one surveys this spectacu-

in speech at Sioux City, Iowa, said this: Later
in the campaign propose to anayze the enormous
increase in the growth of the federal bureaucracy
We are not getting an adequate return for the
money we are spending in Washington. Or, to put
it another way, are spending altogether too
much money" for government services which are

we are attempting too many functions and we need

next year.
You didn't hear about it, but
the name of Miles popped up once
before. Roosevelt suggested him
to Secretary Ickes as a candidate
for the new job of undersecretary
of interior.
Ickes was urging his personal
assistant, Harry Slattery-prob-
ably the best man in Washington
for the jo5, but no great favorite
with professional politicians. Ickes
hollered in pain when Miles was
suggested.
Then Roosevelt and the interior
secretary compromised" with the
appointment of eX-Congressman
Charles West of Ohio, White
House liaison man in Capitol Hill.
The point of this story is that
Roosevelt never seriously consid-
cred Miles for the job, but was
advancing him to Ickes. for trad.
ing purposes. Ickes could hardly
refuse to bow to the White House
will twice!

THE DICTATOR DANGER
Bv .WICKES WAMBOLDT

Dictators are liable to be far
worse than kings. A king is apt
to have a certain reverence for
his job, a feeling Of sacred re-
sponsibility. He inherits his KING
dom, and he has loved traditions
to follow.
But the dictator is likely the
newly rich-he may not know
how to use his power; it goes to
his head; he does not appreciate
the delicacy or the danger Of his
position. At any moment he is
liable to do anything. Then his
subjects are out of luck. For it is
much easier to get a dictator than
to get rid of one.
