Imrnorta[ty oI Wcrshingrton

(In 1817, in London, England, one Charles Phillips delivered an oration in eulogy of George Washington, believed by many to be the greatest bit of oratory ever directed to the Father of his Country. The fact that it came from a prominent Britisher in those times of partisan bitterness, makes this piece all the more remarkable. It belongs in every scrapbook, in every library.)

It matters very little what immediate spot may be the birthplace of such a man as Washington. No people can claim him; no country can appropriate him; the boon of Providence to tf,e human race, his fame is eternitS and his residence creation. Though it was the defeat of our arms, and the disgrace of our policy, I almost bless the convulsion in which he'had his origin. If the heavens thundered and the earth rocked, yet, when the storm passed, how pure was the climate that it cleared; how bright in the brow of the firmament was the planet which it revealed to us !

In the production of Washington, it does really appear as if nature was endeavoring to improve upon herself, and that all the virtues of the ancient world were but so many studies preparatory to the patriot of the new. Individual instances no doubt there were; spendid exemplifications of some single qualification. Caesar was merciful. Scipio was continent. Hannibal was patient. But it was reserved for Washington to blend them all in one, and, like the lovely chef d'oeuvre oi the Grecian artist, to exhibit in one glow of associated beauty, the pride of every model, and the perfection of every master.

As a general, he marshalled the peasant into a veteran, and supplied by discipline the absence of experience; as a statesman he enlarged the policy of the cabinet into the most comprehensive system of general advantage; and such was the wisdom of his views and the philosophy of hi: counsels, that to the soldier and the statesman he almost added the character of the sage.

A conqueror, he was untainted with the crime of blood. A revolutionist, he was free from any stain of treason. For aggression commenced the contest, and his country called him to the command. Liberty unsheathed his sword, necessity stained it, victory returned it. If he had paused here, history rnight have dotrbted what station to assign him, whether at the head of her citizens or her soldiers, her heroes or her patriots. But the last glorious act crowns his career, arrd banishes all hesitation. Who, like Washington, after having emancipated a hemisphere, resigned its crown, and preferred the retirement of domestic life to the adoration of a land he might almost be said to have created !

"How shall we rank thee upon glory's page, Thou more than soldler and just less than sage?

All thou hast been refects less fame on thee, Far less than all thou has forborne to be !"

The Wisdom oI Solomon

It was the teen-aged daughter's first dance, and she desperately wanted an off-the-shoulder frock. Her mother was doubtful, but her father settled it when he said: "Let her try one on. If it stays up-she's old enough to wear it."

The High Cost oI Milk

(As explained by Fred C. Ellis in Bill Henry's column.)

The Department of Agriculture is mobilized, The mortgage is amortized, The stable is sterilized, The cows are immunized, The milk is homogenized, The butter is subsidized, The dairymen are organized, The voters are anesthetized, And the public is victimized.

Give Thcmls For What You Hcrve

Henry Ward Beecher said: "If one should give me a dish of sand, and tell me there were particles of iron in it, I might look for them vi.ith my eyes, or search for them with my clumsy fingers, and be unable to detect them. But let me take a magnet and sweep through it, and how it would draw to itself the almost invisible particles by the mere power of attraction. The unthankful heart, like my finger in the sand, discovers no mercies. But, let the thankful heart sweep through the day, and as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find in every hour, some heavenly blessings."

Foolish Bcrseball

A country negro boy, seeing his first game of baseball, was heard to remark:

"E['it sho look lak a foolish game t'me. A lotta men runnin' dey laigs off aroun' a fiel', an' fo what? Jes tryin' t'git back to rihah dey wuz befo' dey stahts, dass all !"

The Deciding Voice

"Mamie," moaned her long-suffering husband, "you promised me you would not buy another new dress this season ! What made you do it?"

"Ffoney," said the modern Eve, "the devil tempted me."

"Why didn't you say 'get thee behind me, Satan?"' the poor man inquired.

"I did," said the little woman, sweetly, "and then he whispered over my shoulder, 'my dear, it looks just beautiful in the back."'

Ioubert Sqid:

"It is not hard to KNOW God, provided you do not trouble yourself to DEFINE Him."

New \(/holesale Distribution Yard at Newark, Calif.

American Forest Products Corporation is the name of a new wholesale distribution yard and remanufacturing plant at Newark, California. This concern is a subsidiary of the American Box Corporation, San Francisco. The mailing address is P. O. Box 667, Newark, California. C. P. (Chuck) Eddie is manager, and Kermit Noble is sales managef,

A description of the new yard and plant appeared in the August fssue of The American Eagle, excellent house publication of the American Box Corporation. This article is as follows:

"The property and improvements of the Nervark Dry Kiln Company at Newark, California, have been purchased and will now operate under our banner. The plant includes ten acres of land, a natural gas-fired Northwest Dry Kiln with a 100,000 foot capacity, a cabinet shop, a planing shed with a Yates No. 91-51" four side matcher, a resaw, a sorting chain and an office. To increase the efficiency, it is planned to install a resaw with tilting rolls and improve the planer for profile work. It is also planned to extend the sorting table and include trimmer saws. If, as expected, business warrants it, a second dry kiln will be erected. The offices have been remodeled to provide space for five salesmen's desks, together with ample roorn for the accounting department. The site was selected both because the plant was in operation and for its convenient location in relation to the Oakland-San Jose freeway now under construction.

"The Newark plant is at the crossroads for trucks from the lumber producing areas to the lumber consuming areas of Northern California. This ne.iv operation in our organization will be known as the American Forest Products Corporation, a name you will be hearing more about as the months go on. The Newark plant will operate strictly as a distributing yard with manufacturing facilities to service the retail lumber yards of the Bay Area. They will handle a complete line of lumber products, including timbers, boards and dimension lumber, moulding, doors, windows and plywood. The new company is under the supervision of Chuck Eddie, who will direct all the activities. Its importance as a distributing point for lumber will increase as the industrial and residential sections of the Bay Area continue to grow."
