Of things he can door has done,
Aud never feels jealous of those
who succeed,
Or fame or good fortune have

He does not speak evil of others,
e'en though
Their actions ho cannot defend;
He ever is ready with strong

A friend 011 whom one can de

He bears all life's accidents calm

His life nnd habits are pure;
Though others may flourish and

GET THE "CROP ATTITUDE OF KIND"
TOWARD TIMBER 9
Our fathers thought of the forest
as an enemy. Trees were some
thing to get ri<l of. They had no
sale value and stood iu the w:iy of
cultivation Soonr fathers,'"breath
ing out threatening and slaught
er," like Paul on his way to
Damascus, went out againHt the
magnificent virgin forests they
found in our New World. Trees
were cut by the million, and since
the timber couldn't be used
up fast enough for houses, fences,
and fuel, every winter witnessed
uncounted thousands of "1 o a
rollings." Magnificent trees that
would now be worth millions of
dollars were converted into smoke
and ashes..
Now conditions have changed,
absolutely changed. Trees are now
one of the most valuable products
of the earth, and growing more
valuable every year. Instead of
thinking of woodland as being in
the way of crop cultivation, we
must realize that the woodland
itself is one of the most \aluable
crops.
Crops, crops?that is what we
must realize that our trees are.
Let's get the "crop attitude of
mind1' toward trees. Next, time we
walk through our woods, let's say,
''Here is another crop of mine?a
very valuable urop if I handle it
right.'' And then let's ask our
selves four questions as follows: ?
1. Let's ask ourselves whether
there is a good stand of the
timber crop. It would hurt
us mightily if wo looked over a
cotton or corn field and saw only
half a stand.
2. Next, let's ask ourselves
whether we have the right varieties
of trees. It would hurt us mightily
to see a sorry, uubbiny variety of
corn in our cornfields. Does it
hurt us if we have only the poorer
sort of timber trees on land just
by weeding out less desirable kinds
and giving the better ttces a
chance to seed, to grow and
develop.
Let's ask ourselves whether
we are doing all we can to keep
fire away from our timber crops
We should get very angry if
somebody set fire to a dozen shook,
in our cornfields after harvest. Do
we also get angry when somebody
burns up young tree growth worth
a hundred corn shucks? Let's
make men and boys who ?tart
forest fires pay damages every
time wo can catch the guilty ones.
4. Let's begin looking over the
timber crop with something of t lie
same pride and interest with which
we look after other crops- It al
ways ghe-. us pride to see especial
ly tine : nd fruitful specimens of
corn and cotton in our fields. Does
it give us pride when we see
especially line and beautiful speci
mens, in our timber crop? Let us
begin looking for such specimens,
protecting litem, and weeding out
others that crowd them.
Let's get the "crop attitude of
mind" toward our trees. Then
shall we double the profits we now
'get from the South'.? most neglect

A SOUND NATIONAL STRUCTURE
The year 1926 has rolled around
and we are ready to enter 1927
willi less to mar our iuduMtrial,
political and economic life than at
any time in our history.
Business as a whole, including [
every line of activity, is doing a
lot more close thinking, one might
Isay philosophical thinking, on thej
lelationship it bears toward the
public, the workers and the in
vestors. The result is that we j
have the best industrial. Jabot j
and financial structure that we
have ever enjoyed.
S:?ch a condition could not be!
brought about l>y one-sided pros '
perity ? it is the result of the'
greater majority of our people un
derstanding fundamental questions
iffecting our local, state and na
tional life, and sharing in the
benefits icsultiug from a sound so
lution of such problems.
It is probable that no nation
ever came so nearly representing
the spirit of leve on earth aud
ijood will toward man, as the
United Statea does today. Such
a policy has taken us much farther
ulong the road of happiness than
would fighting, discord and con
troversy. In addition to being
morally and spiritually right, this
policy has been right from a busi
ness standpoint.
Therefore, us we enter thfl new
year, we should check up on 0111
recent progress and endeavor to
strengthen our constructive pro
grain which has brought to us
such remarkable results, as a na
tion and as individuals.?The
Manufacturer.
