First Act, Finale in Wintonos Amador Tree Farm

There is no more electrifying moment in the recurring drama of the forests than this instant well known to every lumberman. As the familiar warning cry of "Timber-r-r-r!" echoes through the silent forest, the huge tree crashes down the slope.

The script is rarely changed. The scene has been played thousands and thousands of times, yet it never fails to quicken the pulse of every veteran lumberman within earshot. The men who fell giants of the forest in the Winton Amador Tree Farms have a quiet dedication to their work.

Quality \Winton lumber begins with this fallen tree. After it is limbed and bucked into 32-foot lengths, the huge logs are skidded down the slope to the log landing, where they are loaded on trucks headed for the mill to be converted into de pendablT- graded \Winton lumber.

The S7inton Lumber you market is backed by the men, ruachines and rnethods that have made \Winton's product great over 67 yearc. lt pays to stock and sell top-quality rVinton lumber. Give yov 14/intowlran a call today!

One of the most beautiful sights on earth is a good old American dollar, honestly earned. It is really a thing of beauty. And there is beauty also in smokestacks that belch forth their blackness, in plants that teem with [ving activitjr, in mills where machineryroars.

Wonder what the shade of Mirabeau would say if he could look down upon his beloved France today? It was that great Frenchman who, when his aide said to him about some proposition-"Impossible"-replied in rage: "Never mention that blockhead word to me again !" Wouldn't a Mirabeau be a blessing to France in these dark days'? ***

Cicero said that oratory means action, action' and still more action. But that eloquent Roman established his reputation as an orator before the days of microphones. Mikes killed old-fashioned oratory. How can a speaker have action and still inore action when he has to keep his face glued .to a microphone? {< :B !*

Men who can take the stars down from the heavens by the power of their eloquence, can't use mikes. They must surrender either the eloquence or the mikes. The greatest platform speaker this writer ever heard was U. S. Senator Joe Bailey, of Texas. No mikes in his day, and he moved about the stage when he talked as Cicero said an orator must'
