The annual lumber convention period has ended, and much good has undoubtedly been done the industry by those meetings. Ttrey used to say that God helps those who help themselves, but in modern times the fact that God helps those who help each other has been proven in innumerable ways by the following-through of the association idea. The man who belongs to his rightful association, and puts a lot into it, no doubt gets a lot out of it. And he profits about in proportion to his investment.

One of the great lumber manufac,turing associations devoted much of its attention at its recent annual convention to promoting the use of more and better advertising and publicity for the entire lumber industry, and the opinion was expressed that such action would not only be a good idea, but practically a must, if prosperity in the lumber and building business*is*to be had.

Associations, largely through their conventions, promote more and better ties of friendship between men in the same industry. There is an old Arabian proverb concerning friendship that goes like this: "A friend is one to whom one may pour out all the content of one's heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping and, with the breath of kindness, blow the rest awayJ' *

"Regardless of the c.hanges that take place in business, there always remain unchanged and undimmed the eternal verities of character, &ronesty, integrity, truthfulness, fidelity of purpose, and loyalty to* trust."-Roy Gaither.

Long ago Henry Ford became the father of high wages for working men, when he started paying his men, without t&reir suggestion, more wages than any of them had ever thought of asking. And Henry made a remark at that time that is unforgettable. He said, "I am looking for a lot of men with an infinite capacity for not knowing what can't be done'tt

Perhaps the most famous of the many impressive things said by Henry Clay was this: "I .have heard something said about allegiance to the South. I know no South, no North, no East, no West to which I owe my allegiance. Sir, f would rather be right than Presid.?a.'; q

If you have not the text in your scrapbook for your children to read in days to come, here is t*re farewell address that Abe Lincoln made to his friends at Springfield, Ill., when he was leaving for Washington. For grandeur it classes with the Gettysburg Address. Here it is: "No one, not in my situation, can appreciate my feeling of sadness at this parting. To this place, and t&re kindness of these people, f owe everything. Here I have lived a quarter of a century, and passed from a young to an old man. Here my children have been born, and one is buried. I now leave, not knowing when or whether ever I may return, with a task before me greater than that which rested on Washington. Without the assistance of the Divine Being who ever attended him, I cannot succeed. With that assistance, I cannot fail. Trusting in Him who can go with me and remain with you, and be everywhere for good, let us confidently hope that all will yet be well. To His care commending you, as I hope in your prayers you will commend me, I bid you an affectionate farewell."

John Ruskin, great thinker, thoroughly diagnosed men of the Lincoln type when he wrote: "The first test of a truly great man is in his humility. Really great men have a feeling that greatness is not IN them but THROUGH them, and they see something divine in every other man, and are endlessly, incredibly, foolishly merciful." t<*t<

In 1798 Napoleon, seeking more worlds to conquer, sailed for Egypt and took with him many of the foremost engineers and scientists of those times. One night on deck these men got to discussing religion, most of them atheistic in their beliefs. They argued scientifically against the existence of a God, and many orthodox beliefs. Napoleon only listened. Finally he rose to go to bed, and as he did so he pointed with his hand toward the canopy of the heavens, where billions of stars were shining, and asked that learned audience: "Very ingenius, gentlemen, but who made all that?" * ,r *

In the history of modern warfare, no telegram made up of Biblical words has ever been so thoroughly and frequently quoted as the one that Cecil Rhodes sent to Dr. Jameson, when they were both fighting for England in South Africa. Rtrodes heard that Jameson was contemplating what has since been called his "ill-fated" raid into the Transvaal, and he sent Jameson this wire: "Read Luke fourteen thirty-one." And when Jameson read it, he got this message: "Or what king, going to make a war against another king, sitteth not

"Babe, this here's a ree-tort," explained Paul Bunyan to his faithful Blue Ox. "Fer pressure treatin' wood. Them Baxter folks never dunk it, er spray it, er paint it. They got a real fancy process: They stick the wood inside this ree-tort, lock her up fer zo hours. and when she comes out she's BAXCO pressure treated-chock full o' presarvatives." The great logger scratched his head with a pine tree. "I dunno how they do it, Babe, but them Baxter boys shore treat wood good-they make it last forever." :S
