Some commercial factories seem to be taking more cognizance of tbr 

 ilTect which government purchases will have on supplies of lumber ami 

 veneers, at least, that would be indicated by the greater activity In some 

 of these circles. Oak veneers, particularly, are moving well, seemingly 

 having been stimulated In recent weeks by prospective shortage as well 

 as by greater need within the factories themselves.

'"T'HEY all grew right in Indiana where 

 •*• hardwoods have always held the 

 choicest farm lands. The best growth of 

 timber as well as the best yield of wheat 

 comes from good soil. The soundness of
