Simple Guide Used
To Measure Lumber

Knowing the value of your
timber may save you many dol
lars in selling it, according to
Forest w. Dean, extension for
ester at Ohio State University,
who has worked out a simple
method for estimating the
amount of lumber in standing
trees.
While the method is simple, it
cannot be explained or used
without a brief formula and table
which MI Dean says can be OBJ
tanned from any county agricul-
tural agent
BY using this table, all the
farmer has to do is measure the
diameter of the tree four and
One-half feet above the ground,
and estimate the Salable length
of the tree from the ground to
a point where the tree divides
into large branches. With these
two pieces Of information, any
one can then take the table and
determine the number of board
feet in the tree.

A PLATFORM FOR A STRONG
 AMERICA

Hardly read national magazine without finding comment on the socialistic trend in ma tional government; can one observe the news without such comment to ones self.
 the February American Ordnance Letter, E. B. Gallaher it's correspondent presents the facts that have made him believe that a well-planned attempt has been made to convert this country into sociazed state and that through Government propaganda, the idea has been sold to the people.
 In 9 paragraph that begins with Let's look at the facts" Mir Gallaher presents his case:
 "Our Government has destroyed monetary sys- tenn At stroke it robbed every of 40 cent of his savings when it changed the content of the gold dollar from 25 6i10 grains to Is 5l21 grains; it has inflated currency by 900 and has used much of this orpurposes of sociazaon; it has piled on our backs huge unwarranted national debt entirely apart and outside of the debt created through war expenditures; and it proposes to continue enor- nous spending for sociaZation.

One was strong injunction clause to enable the government to crack down on John l.. Lewis or any other labor leader who staged strike endangering the national health and welfare.
 This was stricken out at the last minute.
 Also. the cooling-off period for threatened strike was raised from 20 to 30 days.
 Here's the inside story of how the changes came about:
 BACKSTAGE CONFERENCE
 One hour before Secretary of Labor Maurice Tobin was schedul- ed to appear before the Senate La- Lor Committee on Friday morn : ing, Charles Murphy, the White House legislative representative, reported to Truman that there was stil, disagreement on the strike ] injunction clause.
 Truman immediately instructed l Secretary Tobin to cancel his ap- pearance before the Senate com mittee and to be at the White House at 3 p. m. Friday. At the ensuing conference were: the Pres ident himself, Tobin, Murphy, At torney General Tom Clark, Assist ant John Steelman and Clark Clifford.
 Ensued a pitched battle over biue-penciling the injunction ban on strikes endangering public health and welfare.
 Clifford and Jusice Department ] lawyers-except for Attorney Gen. eral Clark-contended the injunc- tion clause should he left in the l bill. Steelman and Tobin wanted it cut, argued that it was a grat- uitous prejudgment of labor.
 We've got to assume that labor has grown up and will carry it's responsibilities" asserted Steelman. 1 Attorney General Clark agreed with, him, said labor should be given chance to cooperate volun- tarily with the government in pre- venting crippling strikes with no legal club over its head As the argument continued, the President, who originally favored injunctions, finally agreed that it might arouse too much labor re- sentiment, do more harm than good.
 i Clark Clifford disagreed.
 Some of these labor leaders have a complex about injunctions," he declared. But the great ma jority of labor won't be affected by this provision. And we've got to protect the government and the people against production shut downs in these very critical times" i Finally Truman settled it.
 If you knew the history of in- 1 functions and the hardships they caused labor as do," he said, in effect, you would take different slant on the subject. I realize as much as anybody that it is nec- essary to use the injunction at | times and I have used it on sev- eral occasions myself in serious emergencies-but I don't blame la bor leaders for protesting against the practice.
 Tn the old days" continued the President, in effect, before la

management to be equal footing before the law has encouraged national organization of labor unions trusts, which exempted from control under our antitrust laws; through the employment of subsidies it has deduced our farms and established control over the production prices and marketing of our food
 Tt has organized huge Government corporations which operates in competition with private enter prse it has assumed almost complete control of all business through it's bureaucratic rules and regula tions it has power to tax in order to weaken and crush opposition; it has weakened the profit motive and thereby has wrecked the initiative to work and produce it has sought control educational system and finally it has sowed the seed of dis content by teaching people that the Govern ment will take care of them both in sickness and in health, from the cradle to the grave
 If this is not pure socialism I do not under stand the English language" says Mir. Gallaher who has platform to offer which he believes might lead us out of present state of confusion and for which he thinks all Americans should be willing to work if they love their country and want it to survive.
 Economic Essentials for Strong America are as follows:
 l. The restoration of sound monetary system, based on the gold standard. g. The adoption of systematic plan for payment of the national debt.
 5. The balancing OI JIe ndllOldl puusel III thieo of peace.
 4 The reduction of Federal expenses and the elimination of all unessental Federal employees. 5. The withdawal of the Federal Government from competition with private business
 6. The restraint of all monopolies whether of Government business or labor the elimination of large industry wide unions which have the power or tying up our national economy.
 T. Elimination of Federal subsidies and establish ment of public policy condemning them
 S. The establishment of a sound tax system that will restore and protect the incentive to produce.
 g. return to States rights and the restoration of local self-government. TO- public policy rededicated to the protection of the right to acquire and private property guar anteeing equality obligation in all conractual :ela- tons.
 II The guarantee to the individual of his con- stitutona right to work without fear of domination of control from any source.
 12. Restoration of the dignity of the individual and return to the fundamental principal that the Government is the servant of the people
 With this program, it is suggested our march to complete Socialism might be halted

MERGE, AMERCAI

There were dolls and dishes, his torical documents, and Rodin staute so precious it should have been in a museum. There were husts Of Benjamin Franklin. and busts of Franklin Roosevelt; paint ings by the French masters, lace work and fancy silk dresses; and battle-torn flags from ancient wars. There were gifts from high rersanages and gifts from school children There was a Napoleonic coach and the first motorcycle ever built; the flag that flew from the Eiffel Tower when General Patton entered in le44 and the flag that flew over Verdun in 1918.
 And all of them said, in words or in spirit, "Merci, America"
 A Paris business firm, carrying out this spirit of friendship, ul,- dertook to crate the gifts, without charge. It little dreamed what it bargained for. Gifts poured in from all corners of France, literally by the thousands every day. Last estimate is that the gifts-ranging from a tiny spoon to a giant bronze school bell-total 100000.
 The Care d'Orsay, before the trains departure, was packed and damned. Crates were everywhere. On the walls of the station were signs Alabama, Arizona, Ar kansas and so on around the wall of the station to West Virginia and Wyoming" Piled up by states were the gifts which the French committee believed most appropriate for each.
 Finally they were all loaded in- to the old but not freshly paint ed boxcars labeled 40 Hommers, 8 Chevaux," which American SOL diers knew so well in World War I. Then, after journey to Hayre, they were hosited aboard the SS. Magellan, which steamed up New York harbor to salute the Statue of Liberty--the only sim liar gift of friendship from the people of any nation to the people of the United States.
