The weather has continued vi-ry I'avuialib' for logging oijerations in Ibis 

 territory during the past fortnight and reasonably good progress has been 

 made therein. The movement of logs by rail has increased somewhat and 

 there has likewise been .some increase in river receipts, with the result 

 that the mills have plenty of timber to keep them In steady operation. 

 There has been only a comparatlvily small amount of timber prepared for 

 shipment in the Mississippi delta and this is the prlncii)al complaint 

 made in reference to the logging situation. Manufacturing operations, 

 how<ver, have not been interfered with so far and, with the weather so 

 open, it is possible to continue wf)rk in the woods and possibly to gel 

 out a large amount of logs to prevent any serious lnterru|>tlon to milling.

In Flush Vcnccrcd Doors 



The chief consideration is tiniformly high- 

 grade glue. Manufacturers of this modern 

 type of door reahze that its development 

 has been retarded because the unavoid- 

 able lack of uniformity in other types of 

 glue makes it impossible to know how 

 long a door will stav in condilion. The 



Use 



( )f vegetable glue insures absolute uni- 

 formity because of the very nature of pre- 

 paring it and because every pound of our 

 raw material is rigidly inspected. 



Vegetable Glue 



Is also a rigid and permanent adherent; 

 will not blister in sanding; has no dis- 

 agreeable odor; will not deteriorate in 

 standing — for a week if necessary; and 

 can be applied cold without any heating 

 application of any kind in the glue room. 

 In addition, the average saving over 

 former glue bills has been twenty per cent 

 where vegetable glue is used.
