There then followed the reports of the secretary ami treasurer and of 

 the transportation committee. 



The election of officers showed the following results : 



President — Pembroke M. Womblc, Georgia Pine Company. 



Vice president — W. Hunter Edwards, B. W, Edwards & Son. 



Secretary-treasurer — L. 11. Gwaltney, American Lumber Company (re- 

 elected ) . 



The more elaborate character of the banquet showed the return to peace 

 times. 



William Ingle, president of the Baltimore Trust Company, assured the 

 lumbermen of ample hank credits and stated that but for the new currency 

 statement, the war loss and their financial requirements of the war would 

 have caused a tremendous panic. 



George Whitlock spoke on the desirability of setting aside the jurisdic- 

 tion and registration measures seemingly made necessary by the war and 

 returning again to the basis of our constitutional legal system. Xewly- 

 elected President Womble called attention to the fact that thirty-four 

 years ago he had been similarly honored and that he still counted himself 

 a young man and felt himself entirely equal to his new duti-es. Toast- 

 master Rufus K. Goodenow handled the affairs of his office with his cus- 

 tomary happy manner. 



Fight On for Memphis Offices 



W. C. Bonner of .1. II. I'.t.nn.r t\; S.nis. Mcnipliis and Heth, Ark., will 

 make the race for the presidency of the Lumbermen's Club of Memphis 

 for the ensuing year. His opponent will be H. J. M. Jorgensen, Jorgensen- 

 Bennett Manufacti.iring Company. They were placed in nomination to head 

 the red and blue tickets, respectively, at the regular semi-monthly meet- 

 ing of the club held Saturday, December 7, and the campaign was form- 

 mally opened at that time. Those nominated for first vice-president, sec- 

 ond vice-president, secretary-treasurer and directors are given herewith : 



For first vice-president— Red, Roy Martin, Nickey Bros., Inc.; blue, J. V.

 floor of the Chamber of Commerce building. F. E. Stonebraker will be in 

 charge. He will name his own assistants. The polls will open promptly 

 at 7 :30 p. m. and close at nine o'clock. 



These elections are the most hotly contested events of each year, and 

 indications are that there will be plenty of interest in this one. Already 

 the candidates and their friends are hustling for votes and are subordi- 

 nating all other activities to this all-important task.

Death of Lieutenant Percy M. Hall 



Announcement has been received of the death of Lieutenant Percy M. 

 Hall of the Milne Lumber & Manufacturing Company, Mew York City, 

 and Milne, Hall & Johns Company. Cincinnati. He was killed in action 

 September 29. 1918, at Le Catelet. France. He belonged to Company I. 

 107 Infantry. 



Comparison of Costs and Profits 



Every manufacturer tnday more than ever before must watch carefully 

 his production costs in order to arrive at any accurate figures covering 

 his profits, and the luml>er producers are among those giving special 

 attention to this phase of their business. An instance of this is shown 

 in the figures i-ompiled by the Cideon-Anderson Lumber & Jlercautile Com- 

 pany of Gideon, Mo., and St. Louis, the latter being its general sales office. 

 This company's average production cost for a ten months' period ending 

 October 31. was ,?20.66 per thousand feet of hardwood lumber manufac- 

 tured against $29.69 as the average selling price, leaving ,$3.03. from which 

 must be deducted taxes and interest on investment. Thus, W. P. Anderson, 

 the president of the company, states, it will be seen that the profits per 

 thousand feet average only about .?1.50. 



Now that no more men will he inducted into the army, and labor will
