  • MAIL BAG GOSSIP News and Personals from the Field should be sent in so as to be in the Editor's hands before the end of the month. Shortening of articles, due to space limitations, sometimes is necessary, but is no reflection upon the contributor. Care will be taken to preserve the writer's meaning in all cases. Columbus Office J. R. Woodard, of the Traffic Department, says, "What's in a name?" and hands us the names of some of his railroad correspondents: Thos. J. Lawless, Attorney for the C. B. & Q.; O. L. Sheperd, Live Stock Agent for the Southern Railway; and V. A. Slaughter, Live Stock Claim Agent for the Southern Railway.

But, ha! we note she seems to enjoy the sensation. Wanted—Some additional seemingly good excuses why McClure should make from three to five tallies covering export shipments. A discussion was going on in the stock room not so long ago as to the difference between dry, green and export lumber rules. Miss Kitty Reardon was among those present and she gave us a very striking definition: "The green ones are for the Irish, the dry ones for the prohibitionists, and the export for Miss Rayburn's department." And that's that! *• "b YATES LEADS Mr. Yates stood at the top of the list of salesman last month. In view of the fact that he started to work in July, he has done exceptionally well. Mr. Yates started as a salesman six for our Company on July 13, 1914, having previously worked in the operating department. His first selling territory was the N. & W. coal fields, now covered by Mr. E. F. Snead. He served in this capacity until April 1, 1915, when he was transferred to the territory now worked by Mr. J. T. Nagle, namely Southern Ohio, including Parkersburg, Wheeling, Huntington, and Kenova. On March 1, 1917. Mr. Yates resigned to accept a position with another company. When Mr. Cranston was transferred from Indiana to Michigan, Mr. Yates" came back to us to cover the Indiana territory. He is a salesman of real ability, possessing an abundance of energy, enthusiasm, and a comprehensive knowledge of the lumber business. His old- time fellow workers congratulate him and wish him continued success. ■b *> There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual.—William James. A freak tree. The dead limbs and the trunk you can see are the remains of an old dead locust tree. Inside the hollow trunk of the locust tree has grown a white pine. This tree is on the farm of Mr. J. R. K. Bell, about six miles northwest of Pulaski, Va. The photograph was sent to us by Mr. W. H. Yates-. New York The line-up of the W. M. Ritter Flooring Corporation Sales outfit at the present time is: Arthur Klammt, Pittsburgh and Buffalo. C. J. Many, Washington and Baltimore. G. L'Estrange, Boston. C. D. Butler, New York City. Ward Freeman, New York City. C. W. Metzger, Philadelphia. Hammond Lumber Company, Los Angeles. With this aggregation, the Flooring Corporation hopes to be able to make the various flooring units at the mills hustle. *> "b Don't condemn all capitalists. You may be one some day. Hazel Creek We've seen New York and Chicago during their rush hours and we've seen quite a few planing mill crews that were considered hustlers, but when it comes to real genuine hustling the Hazel Creek planing mill crew has everything we've seen before looking like it was standing still. For instance, Charlie Neal gets nine and a half hours "music" out of our side matcher every day, and the boys are never satisfied with anything less than 12,000 feet, and in getting it, they don't even let weddings interfere, for Charlie Medlin, our box puncher, brought his girl to the mill, where J. H. Wilson, our pastor and shed man, stopped his work long enough to marry them. Arthur Watkins, our rip sawyer, took three days off to get married, which wasn't much in line with our regular hustle, but the way the boys "pounded," he and his bride was a hustling affair. Even accidents are disregarded as cause for letting up in pace, for when George Doan, our gauger, had his glove caught in the side matcher feed belt, and fortunately got off with a cut head and bruised side, he had the pluck to come back and go to work as soon as the doctor fixed his wounds. Jake Cable, our resawyer, Zeb Crisp, our clean-up man, and Ben Cable, our Head End Matcher Man, took a few hours off this month. Investigation revealed that a baby bo3' had arrived at each of their homes. We won't be surprised if these boys are around here looking for jobs next year.
