The members of the Lumbermen's Club of Memphis took charge of the 

 sale of war savings stamps in the down town booths here one day recently 

 and disposed of approximately $20,000 worth of war savings and thrift 

 stamps. The lumbermen had already purchased approximately $70,000 

 worth of these stamps prior to the sale, with the result that their pur- 

 chases, combined with their sales, bring their total to $90,000. A feature 

 of the day was a truck loaded with logs driven about the city. On the 

 logs, which were cut from a tract of hardwood timber practically withiu 

 the city limits, was the legend : "Grown in Memphis and to be used for 

 war work." 



Quite a notable increase is reported in demand for cut-over lands in 

 the southern alluvial regions of the lower Mississippi valley, according 

 to John W. McClure, president of the Southern Alluvial Land Associa- 

 tion. Prices are ranging from $25 to $75 per acre, according to the 

 character of the property, the amount involved in clearing and the drain- 

 age already accomplished. Mr. McClure says that the greater portion of 

 the demand Is coming from negroes who have made sufficient money out 

 of cotton and other crops to enable them to make substantial payments 

 on account. 



The strike of laborers at the plant of the American Car & Foundry 

 Company at Binghamton, a suburb of Memphis, has practically ceased

 and is turning them out at the rate of approximately 15 per day.

 new members since its organization in January as successor to the

 facturers' Association. These members are exclusive of those who came

 brings the annual cut of the association well above one billion feet per

 .Vssociatlon, has recently returned from a visit to the branch offices of 

 this organization at Louisville and also from a trip to Cincinnati in the 

 interest of the association.
