 K. J. Hackney of Brown & Hackney, Inc., Is captain of team No. 14, which 

 U soliciting contributions principally from the lumbermen of this city, 

 ;inil virtually all members of bis team are Identlflixl with the hardwood 



: .Ner Industry. The lumbermen arc contributing to this fund with Just 

 much vigor, interest and enthusiasm as that with which they bought 

 . rty lionds of the third Issue. They are heart and soul with the gov- 

 iient In winning the war and they are coming right up to the scratch 

 'Very suggestion made by the government, whether It Is on buying 



' Is, giving to war funds, or diverting their manufacturing facilities 

 •lie supplying of the wants of the government in the way of hardwood 

 ■er or timbers. 



II r. Moyer, who has been representing a number of northern and 

 '•TO lumber arms as purchasing agent, with headquarters at Mem- 



i>. has accepted the position of sales manager for the Mississippi Delta 

 riantlng Company, which owns some 30.000 acres of land In Bolivar and 

 adjoining counties In Mississippi and which has a sawmill at Scott, Miss., 

 cutting approximately 35.000 to 40,000 feet of lumber per day. The 

 headquarters of the company are In Memphis. The company also operates 

 a shingle and planing mill. 



F. E. Gary of the Crenshaw-Gary Lumber Company, which has Its bead- 

 quarters In Memphis and Its mills In Mississippi, reports that It has been 

 able to make but little use of the barges It bought some time ago for 

 hauling logs to Its plant at RIchey, Miss., and for handling the output 

 of this plant on the Sunflower river to the Mississippi at VIcksburg. It 

 says that the water In Sunflower river has been so low practically all 

 of the winter that It has been Impossible to make more than occasional 

 use of these facilities. 



Box manufacturers here continue to have the largest business In their 

 history offered them, but they are not equal to the prompt acceptance 

 of all the orders coming their way. They are operating on as full a 

 scale as possible under present conditions, but as a rule they are work- 

 ing on single shifts for the reason that they are unable to secure enough 

 labor to justify double shifts. The output of the various box factories 

 and plants manufacturing other wooden containers would be materially 

 larger If there were enough help available. There Is more than enough 

 business to justify longer hours, but the labor cannot be had. Some of 

 the box people are beginning to use women in their plants and they arc 

 finding these quite successful. The Anderson-TuUy Company says that 

 ten per cent of the employes In its box factories here are women, and that 

 the number will be Increased as rapidly as possible. Others are trying the 

 experiment of using women, and they believe these will be successful 

 where the work is not too heavy. 



Cooperage interests at Memphis are highly please<l with the action of 

 the United Cooperage Industries of America In reelecting Walter Wellford. 

 of the Chickasaw Cooperage Company for a third term, and In choosing 

 two out of three of Its vice-presidents from this city In the persons of 

 Charles Hudson of the Hudson-Dugger Company, and Fred Grlsmore of the 

 Grismore-Hymon Company. Representatives of the Industry do not recall 

 that so many high ofliclals of any organization covering such a wide ter- 

 ritory were ever selected from one single center and they are all the more 

 appreciative of the compliment for this reason. 



=-< LOUISVILLE >= 



The principal topic of interest in the h.irdwood trade during the past 

 few days has been relative to the new plan of adopting a uniform set of 

 hardwood inspection rules under the plan that has been worked out by 

 T. M. Brown of Louisville, and members of his committee of the National 

 Hardwood Lumber Association. The movement was launched a short lime 

 ago through the trade papers, and In letters addressed to members of 

 both of the hardwood organizations. At the present time answers are 

 coming In rapidly, and a large majority of the members of these organi- 

 zations are signing the slip endorsing the movement. Mr. Brown Is -n-cll 

 pleased with the way the lumber trade has taken to the proposition, anl 

 believes that the majority favoring the plan is so large that It will ri.i. 

 through on a high wave of popularity at the annual convention mxt 

 month. Locally the Louisville Hardwood Club has endorsed the pl.in 

 unanimously. A few Individuals in various sections, and one or mf.ri- 

 organizations have opposed the plan, but as a whole the majority appears 

 to be strongly In favor of uniform grading, which will mean much to 

 the trade In such times as these, and under existing trafllc conditions. 



The lumbermen as usual turned out In force to attend the Kentucky 



Derby, which was the forty-fourth consecutive renewal of this famous 



event, run over the famous Churchill Downs track, which received Its 



name from the old Churchill family, of which John Churchill of the 



Churchlll-Mllton Lumber Company is a member. The cajiacity of the 



M? racing plant was taxed to handle the big crowd which was on hand. 



. -pite of the bad weather experienced in the morning, and hotel accom- 



iiitlons were not to be had. Many of the lumbermen dropped a few 



ks when "Exterminator." the dark entry, went over at the excellent 



:> ot $61.20 to ?2. In addition to the Louisville men a number of guests 

 wore present, these including Ralph Jurden of Memphis ; W. E. DeLaney. 

 Lexington: Lew Doster. Indianapolis: E. 11. Defebaugb, Chicago; Frank 

 Gadd. Cincinnati, and W. B. Burke. Ch.nrleston. Miss.
