Well, Jim, of course you know what an animal glue 

 outfit looks like, but 1 am sending you a picture of a side 

 view of ours. See all those pails with glue sticking around 

 and the mess of glue sticking around the small trough that 

 runs from the converter to the spreader? Then look at 

 the vegetable glue outfit. Some difference. And, get 

 this, Jim. No stink. We made a mix the Saturday War- 

 ren was here and I said that we ought to wait til Mon- 

 day so not to have a stinking place and bad glue. He 

 laughed and said to forget all 1 ever knew about animal 

 glue getting rotten and stinking because those troubles 

 was over. Sure enough, on Monday that vegetable glue 

 was sweet as new milk, and the way it sticks is a 

 caution. Still I keep my eyes open. I seen too much 

 glue trouble to feel easy in my mind before some of 

 the goods get out in the trade. But so far it is the best 

 veneer glue ever I saw. Will tell you more about it as 

 things happen. 



Jim, you ought to see me. Sue's cooking is so blame 

 good that I am getting fat as a hog ready for the killing. 

 Sue says she didn't marry a fat man, and don't want 

 none, and if I get fat she'll leave me. And I tell her 

 if I get fat it will be her fault for making such good eats. 

 She says 1 don't have to be a pig, and 1 tell her may be 

 1 won't be forever but her stuff is such a change from 

 boarding house hash that a guy can't keep away from 

 It. That tickles her and the next meal is the best ever. 

 She sends her regards to Min. My best to you and the 

 gang. Your friend, HEN. 



All Three of Us Will Be Benefited if 



Sparks Heads Rotary Men 



G. W. Sparks, Des Arc Veneer & Lumber Co., Des Arc, Ark., 

 will serve as chairman of the Commercial Rotary Veneer Depart- 

 iTient of the American Hardwood Manufacturers' Association dur- 

 ing 1919. This was decided at the meeting of the department 

 held at Memphis, January I 4 when he was re-elected by unanimous 

 vote. He will name his own associates. 



In the discussion of inspection rules, market conditions, stock 

 and sales reports, and other features of special interest, it was the 

 consensus of opinion that there is a large demand ahead and that 

 stocks of logs are very low. Most of these veneers are cut to order 

 and no stocks are carried. But stocks of logs are highly essential 

 and it was agreed that, just now, there is a most notable shortage 

 of these. Furthermore, it was contended that prospects point to 

 exceptionally light logging operations and therefore to very light 

 stocks for some weeks. Prices, it was held, should remain firm 

 if not actually advance for the reason that demand is increas- 

 ing, that log stocks are light and that manufacturing costs are 

 not declining in the least. 



Three new members were elected: Mississippi Veneer Company, 

 Sandersville, Miss.; Ashby Veneer & Lumber Company, Jackson, 

 Tenn., and Lovelace Veneer & Stave Company, Cotton Plant, Ark. 



The next meeting of the department will be held at Memphis the 

 second Tuesday in March. 



One of the finest birdseye woods of this country is seldom 

 cut into veneer because the centers of the eyes are liable to fall out 

 and have holes in the sheets. It is the silverbell tree. It is some- 

 what restricted in its range and no large amount is available for the 

 veneer factory; but if the product could be cut and handled satis- 

 factorily, it would hold a place of considerable importance in the 

 veneer industry. The largest silverbell trees grow in eastern Tenn- 

 essee and western North Carolina. It is closely related to the snow- 

 drop tree which is often planted in yards as an ornament.
