buy the 



Hoosier Self Feed Rip Saw. This machine has earned thousands 

 of dollars for owners in the manufacture of dimension lumber, crating, 

 etc., because its entirely novel design, resulting in surprising ease •f 

 operation and adaptability, makes possible a profit where a loss is 

 often expected in this work. The 



Hoosier Self-Feed Rip Saw 



has a positive and powerful feed which handles the heaviest material 

 the sawmill takes just as readily as the lightest. 



The table, raised and lowered with the crank in front of the ma- 

 chine, is always level — always securely locked. 



The Hoosier rips anything up to 6 inches thick and 17 inches wide. 

 It feeds 35, 75, 100 or ISO feet a minute.

furniture manufacturers will make certain parts of aeroplanes for the 

 government, in conjunction with the making of furniture, for which the 

 lower grades of mahogany can be used. In that event there will be, by 

 reason of business activity throughout the land Incident to war work, a 

 demand for furniture. Should the war come to an abrupt close, we are 

 stlil of the opinion that aside from reaction, business ^III continue good, 

 for the reason that all stocks abroad are depleted and no great quantities 

 on hand with manufacturers of this country. On the whole we are opti- 

 mistic as to business conditions throughout 1918. 



The Louisville, Ky., and Mound City, III., plants of the Inman Veneer 

 4 ranel Company, Louisville, are being kept busy just now on some sub 

 war contracts lor manufacturing twenty-one aeroplane parts, mostly of 

 glued up stocks of mahogany. Harry Inman of this company stated that 

 eight and ten-ply veneers were being used to make this stock substantial, 

 and that orders on hand would keep the company busy at both plants 

 for some time. A similar order has been landed by the Star riano Com- 

 pany of Richmond, Ind., this concern also manufacturing aeroplane parts 

 for assembling by the manufacturers with the big contracts. 



The Chesapeake & Ohio R. R. Company has filed suit In the tJ. S. 

 district court at Frankfort, Ky., to stop residents of Menifee and Mont- 

 gomery counties, Kentucky, from cutting timber from 'J, 000 acres of land 

 owned by the C. & O. on Slate creek. It is alleged that $4,000 worth 

 of timber has already been cut out, and several clashes have come up 

 l)€tween railroad officials and these outlaw lumbermen. 



Henry Pllcher's Sons, organ manufacturers of Louisville, recently pre- 

 sented every employe with a bonus of an extra week's salary. 



An eastern Kentucky manufacturer Is going a long way toward solving 

 the unsteady labor problem through offering beginners wages of $2.25 a 

 day, and a bonus of $5 for a full month's work, this resulting In com- 

 mon lalior losing more than two full days' pay out of the bonus whenever 

 they lay off one day, meaning that it costs a day laborer just $7.25 to 

 lay off a day. 



Mac.\dams & Son, Hickman, Ky., have just received a judgment for 

 $5,119 against a St. Louis concern, in a St. Louis court, the Illckman 

 timber buyers in their evidence showing that an agent of the St. Loula 

 boose closed a contract for the plaintiffs to furnish a certiiin quantity 

 of walnut timber on a high market. The market dropped while the plain- 

 tiff had a yard full of stock, and the defendant refused to accept the 

 material, stating that the agent bad no right to make a binding contract 

 to accept the tlnihor. The courts held that the contract was binding, and 

 gave JDdgment in favor of plaintiff.

The lack of cars in which to ship their products continues to be the 

 greatest concern of Arkansas lumber manufacturers. For the most part 

 mills are operating upon full or nearly full schedules, and by this means 

 are providing employment for their men. Stocks are pretty full in some 

 items, but orders are on file to take care of the outputs, If cars could 

 be secured in which shipments could be made. Shipping in all lines, 

 except for government use, has been abnormally light in this section for 

 many days, and will continue so to be for an indefinite period. The taking 

 over of the railroads by the government is expected by some lumbermen 

 to help the situation. All, or practically so, are maintaining cheerful and 

 optimistic dispositions, and are resigned to make the most of the situation. 

 Lumbermen as a class are filled with patriotism, and are willingly making 

 every effort to help the government In its preparations to wage a war of 

 complete victory for democracy. 



Quite an important amount of material for government use Is now 

 being supplied from the Arkansas forests. In the northern part of the 

 state, buyers arc finding and gathering substantial supplies of walnut 

 timber, which is ultimately to be used in the manufacture of airplane 

 propellers, gunstocks, etc. In eastern Arkansas, with Helena as a center, 

 buyers are grabbing up all the straight grained ash that is to be found. 

 The prices paid for these woods are i^ald to be entirely satisfactory to the 

 sellers. 



The Amos Martin Handle Company has been organized at Leslie with 

 a capital stock of $20,000, and will make handles for axes, picks, etc 

 Mr. Martin, the head of the concern. Is well known among the Arkansas 

 handle manufacturers. 



The Mcltae Box Company has recently been organized with a capital 

 stock of $10,000. It win operate a box plant at McRae and put out crates 

 and boxes principally for use in shipping the strawberry crop of that sec- 

 tion. The interested parties arc Cbaa. Chambers, W. R. Bcckwlth and 

 C. E. Brown, all of McRae. 



E. N. Hill of the Anderson Cooperage and Lumber Company, Anderson, 

 Ind., has recently closed a deal at Wynne, Ark., for the purchase of a 

 site on which he proposes to erect a plant for the manufacture of hoops. 

 Mr. Hill expects that the work of erecting the plant will start within the 

 next tew weeks. 



The Pulaski Cooperage Company of Little Rock Is now employing negro 

 women for work in Its plant. They are paid $1.50 and $2 per day and 

 have proven entirely satisfactory.
