FIVE MILLS: Ten Million Feet on Sticks, Oak, Gum. Cypress. Cottonwood. Sycamore, Elm 



Lumber Company, felled a large old sy(^more tree that had stood on the 

 bank for years and discovered a nest that contained five monkey-faced 

 owls about half grown. One of the birds was killed before the men realized 

 what a rare find they had made. The others were captured. The lumber 

 company presented them to the zoological gardens in Cincinnati, O. These 

 owls are rarely seen in this part of the country and the zoological garden 

 had no specimens of this kind in its collection. 



A shortage in woodpeckers, and a conse(iuent abnormal increase in num- 

 ber of insects and worms destructive to trees, is the cause of the death 

 of elm trees throughout the country, according to William C. Ball of 

 Terre Haute, Ind., secretary of the board of trustees of the Indiana State 

 Normal School, who has giventhe subject much investigation. Recently 

 a fine elm tree on his premises died and he had it cut down. Under the 

 bark he found hundreds of small worms, which had sucked the life of the 

 giant elm.

The Jasper Novelty Company, Jasper, Ind., recently filed a notice with

Harry Massie, formerly traveling salesman for the Evansville Sash & 

 Door Company and later connected with a large wholesale lumber concern

 teen months with the United States Marine Corps. He had been dis- 

 charged from service and it is his intention to get back into the lumber 

 game, he says. 



Daniel Wertz, head of Maley & Wertz, has returned from Bay View, 

 Mich., where he spent the heated season in company with his family. 



Lumber manufacturers in Evansville and owners of wood consuming 

 factories report that they are beginning to feel the effects of the car 

 shortage and it Is feared the situation will become serious later on. 

 Because of the car shortage, it is announced that many of the farmers 

 in southern Indiana, southern Illinois and western and northern Kentucky 

 have been storing their wheat and will make no effort to sell their grain 

 until cars become more plentiful. M. E. Smith, superintendent of the 

 Louisville & Nashville, says that railroads are now using every bit of 



available equipment, but still it is impossible to get all the cars that are 

 demanded. He has advised the shippers to load and unload their cars 

 quickly and in this way cooperate with the United States Railroad Admin- 

 istration in an effort to make the situation better. 



J. C. Greer of the J. C. Greer Lumber Compan.v has recovered from an 

 automobile accident. He was returning from a fishing trip when the men 

 ditched their car in order not to run over several kittens playing in the 

 middle of the road.

 Company that was organized here a few days ago and which will be

 tory here that will be patterned after that of the Showers Bros. Company 

 at Bloomington, Ind. It will manufacture medium-priced bedroom and din- 

 ing-room furniture. The company will operate a sawmill and veneer mill 

 in connection with the plant and will employ a large number of men. It 

 is proposed to make the factory one of the largest in the United States, it 

 is announced. 



Charles W. Johann, head of the Evansville Planing Mill Company, Is 

 the head of the Farmers' Trust Company, which began business at the 

 corner of Main and Seventh streets a few days ago. The banking company 

 has a capital stock of $100,000 and some of the leading business men of 

 the community are interested in the concern. 



The Evansville Furniture Company recently announced an increase In its 

 capital stock of from $150,000 to $300,000. The manager of the company, 

 Harry Sabel, stated that the rapid growth in the business of the company 

 during the past few years made this, increase necessary. The company Is

 in operation by the first of next year.
