There is a short philosophical story in R & R Magazine that is worthwhile. It is an old country legend about the time the devil sold all his tools. He laid them in a row for the customers to see and put a price tag on each one. "Envy," "Jealousyr" t'Hatredr" t'Greedtt and many others were displayed. One much-worn tool was priced much higher than any of the others. This was "Discouragement." The Devil explained that it was priced so high because it was the most useful in his tool kit. But the price was so high that nobody was able to buy it. As a result, the Devil still owns "Discouragemsnt" and it continues to be his most useful tool. Gentle reader, isnt thata nl"aat wise story?

Can and Will arc cousins, who never trust to luck; Will is the son of Energn and Can is the son of Pluck. Can't and Won't are cousins, always out of work; 'Won't is the son of Never-Try, and Can't is the son of Shirk.

It has been printed and reprinted and quoted millions of times but this seems to be another good time to quote the immortal words written by Thomas Paine in his booklet, "The American Crisis," during ttre Revolutionary War, which reads as follows:

. .THESE ARE THE TIMES THAT TRY MEN'S SOULS. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, qhrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it NOW deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have *ris consolation with us-that the harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. Hiaven knows &row to put a proper

,,Babe, that there's what I callo SOUND FOUNDATIONT " observed Paul Bunyan as he delicately lifted up the old house with his pinkie. The Blue Ox grunted. "See them mudsills, girders an' posts?

BAXCO pressure treated Foundation Lumber has becn safeguarding thousands of \Testern homes against termites and wood-rot. Pressure treatment locks in the chemical protecticn for keeps. And when you figure, Paul, that just one repair bill, caused by rot or teimites, can run into hundreds of dollars-well, why take a chance ?

"I have as little superstition in me as any man living, but my secret opinion has ever been, and still is, that God Almighty did not give up a people to military destruction, or leave them unsupportedly to perish, who have so earnestly and so repeatedly sought to avoid the calamities of war, by every decent method which wisdom could invent. Neither have I so much of the infidet in me as to suppose that He has relinquis.hed the government of the world, and given us to the care of devils."

For the equivalent of an industrial "hole-inone," the Weyerhaeuser Sales Company won special recognition recently from its compensa- tion insurance carrier. The St. Paul concern rang up a total of over 612 rnillion consecutive man-hours in the past six years without a single lost-time injury. More remarkable, within this same period the company's field salesmen covered more than 15 million lost-time, accident-free road miles. This record is still continuing and is one of the best ever attained in any industry. R. S.
