stated that the banks have been long on deposits for some time, and have 

 had trouble in keeping their resources working. Money drawn out for 

 bu.ying bonds will be placed in circulation again by the government, and 

 the lumber trade will undoubtedly feel its effect in the increased demand 

 for shipbuilding timber and general government supplies. 



The Kentucky Wagon Manufacturing Company, one of the largest local 

 consumers of hardwoods, has been making a number of changes recently.

 is permissible to manufacture automobiles, a line that has been made 

 by the company for several months for the Dixie Motor Car Company, a 

 subsidiary organization. It also arranged its debt limit not to exceed 

 the total paid in capital stock at any time. Several changes have been 

 made in the management, W. I. Shaw, sales manager, having resigned, and 

 been succeeded by S. K. Miller, who has been with the sales department 

 for two years or more. W. B. Beckman has been promoted to the position 

 of assistant general manager under H. V. Board, president and general 

 manager. Mr. Beckman has had charge of the purchasing and traffic 

 departments of the big company, which occupies several acres of ground

 four of the Southern lines ; namely, the Iron Mountain, Rock Island, La. 

 & -Ark. R. R. Co., and the St. L., S. W. have filed suit in the federal court 

 seeking to enjoin the commission from enforcing the order which was to 

 have become effective June 15, 1917. The contention of the Paducah 

 people was that the rates on lumber and lumber products to Paducah, 

 Ky., were from 2 to 6 cents a hundred pounds higher than to Cairo, 111., 

 from points (in Arkansas and Louisiana, whereas the rates should be on a 

 parity. The commission upheld this contention. The carriers allege that 

 the commission has no power to amend the rate, and cite twenty-six in- 

 stances where errors were made In taking proof.

 620. as compared with 145 permits for $186,310 in May, 1917. Heavy 

 lo.sses have been shown locally all season, but out in the state the show- 

 ing has been much better. However, a good proportion of the building 

 that is being done is of frame construction.
