supply of coniferous species has greatly lessened- by lhe -advent of-ihips saved from waste. By utilizing sawmill an-d plyw-oo-d plant iesiduals, the pulp mills have been able both to lower their costs and to release logs for sawmills. At the same time, the utilization of residuals has given the mills and plywood plants greater revenue which has permitted them to pay more for-logs and utilize logs of lower grades because of the by-products chips. This has been made possible by the development in hydraulic and mechanical barkers.

"Recent trends in the development of this equipment have resulted in lowered costs and the availability of smaller size units, making residual utilization efficient for small mills. This has now made possible the utilization of hardwood mill residuals by those pulp mills requiring hardwoods in their ptpermaking. Recent installations have been accomplished in mills producing as little as ten to twelve thousand feet per shift.

"In the long pull, no log should go to a pulp mill if it can first go to a sawmill and yield some usable lumber with ony the residue going into the pulp mill."

Without the door let sorrow

And if for cold it has to die. We'll bury it in Christmas pie, And ever more be merry.

A Few Words on Christmqs

By Charles Lamb

Oh ! Merry piping time of Christmas ! Never let us permit thee to degenerate into distant courtesies and formal salutations. But let us shake our friends and familiars by the hand, as our fathers and their fathers did. Let them all come around us, and let us count how many the year has added to our circle. Let us enjoy the present, and laugh at the past. Let us tell old stories and invent innocent always, and ingenious if we can. Let us not meet to abuse the world, but to make it better by our individual example. Let us be patriots, but not men of party. Let us look of the time-cheerful and generous-and endeavor to make others as generous and cheerful as ourselves.

Were I cr Deqler

I would paint my name on the fences, f would picture my goods on the sheds, I would send my cards to the brides-to-be And call on the newlyweds.

f would make a list of the grandads, And dear old grandmothers, too. Of preachers and painters and workmen and women, The poor and the well-to-do.

f'd deluge them all with letters, Explaining their need of me.

I'd picture my store as a bit of the town That everyone in it should see.

And when they arrived, I'd extend the glad hand

The moment they entered the door, With so warm a greeting that after the meeting, They'd buy all their goods at my store.

Get Louder Ones

"Bang !" went the rifes at the army maneuvers. The pretty girl screamed and jumped backwards into the arms of the nice young man.

"Oh !" she said, blushing, "f beg your pardon."

"Not at all," said the nice young man. ,,Let's go over and watch the artillery."

The Legend of Jesus

"That a man should live in an obscure corner of Judea nineteen centuries ago, speak an insignificant dialect, and yet by dint of wisdom and goodness and in spite of having suffered a shameful death, reign as God for these two thousand years and be adored by hundreds of millions of the conquering races, goes far to prove that goodness and wisdom are fed by some hidden source and are certain therefore to increase among men. We, too, can believe as Jesus believed, that goodness perpetuates itself, increasing from age to age, while the evilis diminishing, dying and is only relative, so to speak, or truth arrested. And our high task is to help this shaping spirit to self-realization and fulfillment in our own souls, knowing all the while that roses of life grow best around the Cross."

-Frank Harris.

Around the Christmqs Boqrd

Ah, friends, as years go on and heads

Get grey, how fast the guests do go!

Touch hands, touch hands with those who stay. Strong hands to weak, old hands to young; Around the Christmas board. touch hands.

Some Golfing History

What is the full history of the game of golf ?

No man knoweth.

It appears, however, that they played it away back in early Biblical days, because the Old Testament tells us that Solomon said: "A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes."

History tells us that in 1457 golf had taken hold in Scotland to such an extent that the people were forbidden to play it because it was interfering with the needful practice of archery, the national defense.

The oldest golf course and club on earth is that of Blackheath, near London, England, and dates from 1608-168 years before the United States was officially on the map.
