Mr. Richardson : Mr. Kendall is very particular what I

 heard.

Mr. Woodhead: I believe a committee of the lumber press 

 undertook to feature the entertainment at our banquet last night. 

 They undertook it very graciously, and I believe all those present 

 were very pleasantly entertained. They went to a great deal of 

 trouble, labor and time to perform the stunts they pulled off for 

 our edification and amusement. I believe the very least thing we

Mr. Chairman: The next paper on the program will be an 

 address on costs, taking up the cost problem from the log pond 

 and carrying the manufacture of the log into lumber to the sort-

 general manager of the Arkansas Lumber Company, Warren, 

 Ark., a man who has had many years of operating experience 

 and knows what he is to say. (Applause).

 and in some sections of the country yellow pine shingles are the 

 standard of quality. The Southern Pine Association has been 

 making some investigations as to the merits and possibilities of 

 yellow pine shingles, and Mr. J. H. Eddy, chairman of the shin- 

 gle committee of the Association, will address you on this subject. 

 Mr. Eddy. (Applause). 



Mr. Eddyr I have prepared quite a lengthy statement. The 

 paper will appear in full in the printed report of this meeting. I 

 don't know that it is necessary for us to go very much into de- 

 tail in investigating the wooden shingle. I think all of us have 

 memories of the messages of the shingle in our youth. It is pos-
