New Methods Of
Preserving Posts
Fence Posts Seem A Small
Item To Farmer, Yet
They Are Enough To'
Merrit Attention For
Lengthening Life
Fence posts are an important I
use for wood on the farm, but
one does not realize that by far j
the greatest use of all wood in
contact with the ground is for
this purpose, says the U. S. Forest
Products Laboratory, Madison,
Wisconsin.
Creap and effective preservative
treatment now makes it possible
for the farmer to use kinds
of wood for posts that were
formerly regarded as worthless,
the Forest Products Laboratory
points out.
One of the simple treatments
is the tire-tube method. In this
treatment a section of a discarded
auto tire tube is stretched
over the butt end of the post that
has been placed with the butt end
higher than the other end. The
tube is then filled wit ha solution
of zinc chloride and this
soaks through the sapwood. This
chemical will give a fence post
that will last three to four times
as long as the untreated one.
The broad bearing surface of
wooden posts against the earth in
which they are set and the
strength of the post itself are
inherent advantages in fence
building. The ease with which
nails and staples can be driven
make fence erection a simple
process adapted to ordinary tools
and skill. The general suitability
of wooden fence posts is amply
attested by their use wherever
available.
The annual requirements of the
United States for use in new
fences and replacement is estimated
at from 400 to 600 million
posts, or three to nearly five
fence posts per capita of population.
This enormous consumption
will, however, undoubtedly
decrease as old posts are replaced
with new ones treated with
preservatives, a number of which
are cheap and the processes are
such that the farmer can easily
use to protect posts that he can
cut from his woodland.

In 1915 a young man in Bir- j
mingham, England, went for a t
walk. That walk changed his j.
life. It made him a rich man. j
His name was Frank Irving ]
Fletcher. r

from a newspaper. He needed a1.
job, so he read the ads one by |'
one. ! I
He found one that appealed. 11
Then he looked more sharply, j i
The job was in New York. But 1
it was the kind of job he want-; i
ed. The salary was $18 a week. 11
t But New York was 3,000 miles j
away! The glow faded from 1
| Fletcher's eyes. Fear and mis- (
J givings swept over him. Suddenly
his spine stiffened. He'd go to I
New York! ]
He borrowed some money and i
j five days later was on a boat, \
landing in New York practically <
| broke. When he went after that (
job he had come 3,000 miles to t
get, it had been taken. 1
Fletcher set his teeth, put his 1
j head down, and charged. Result I
j a job, at $10 a week. Now he <
could eat! (
Two weeks later he got a bet- i
I ter job, at $12; pretty soon an- i
! other at $15; then one at $18; 1
all in two months! The Thomp- I
son-Starrett Company Inc., a 1
great construction firm, adver- I
tised for a secretary. Fletcher ap-1
i plied. He was competing with a ! <
strimr of other applicants, but his 11
air of invincible confidence in j'
what he had to offer?the mark 1
of the born salesman?got him i
the job. !
A few months later the com- <
pany wanted an advertising man '
and they told Fletcher to look |!
j around for one. j'
He wanted the job for himself, i I
I but he had never written an ad; 1
j knew nothing about it. He knew 1
it would not do the slightest good '
to say he could fill the job. He '
would have to prove it. He de- <
cided to write sample ads to 1
show them. '
He knew the policy of the com- ,
pa$y, but he didn't know their (
writing style, so he got all the'
back ads he could find and j
studied them. He sat up all night, j
and produced sixty short, snappy i
ads He turned them in to one j
j of the officials, saying he be- j
1 lieved he had a knack for adwriting,
and asked him to read J
them. The official read them and
| was so pleased that he got into
his car and drove to the addresses
of two other executives to show
the ads to them. Fletcher got the
job. Salary $2,500.
Fletcher went on from there.
His fame spread. Clients beat a
path to his door, wanting his better
mousetrap. Within five years
he was making a $150,000 income
with his fountain pen. That
was before the Depression. It is
said to be $100,000 now.
Twice in his life he saw an
opportunity seemingly impossible
of achievement. But each time he '
decided to try with all his might. I
These two decisions cnangea nts
life and made him a rich man.

WASHINGTON
TETTER
WASHINGTON, May 14?Intensified
warfare in Europe has
produced political and economic
repercussions here which have
been feared or wishfully discounted
for many months. An unmistakable
foreign flavor growing
stronger hourly appears in all:
public and private talking and
thinking of officialdom. The apparent
program of drifting along
on foreign affairs until the November
elections has been suddenly
checked by overseas developments.
Already suggestions are
afloat for a special session of
Congress, presumably in August
when the two nominating conventions
have been held contigent,
of course, on a situation broadly
classified as "emergency". Wellinformed
observers feel that an
extra session after the elections
is inevitable assuming it can be
put off that length of time.
From a political viewpoint international
complications are considered
a key to the third term
issue. Difficulties in writing party
platforms in the face of constantly
changing war problems
are generally recognized. In this
respect the Democrats holding
their convention here weeks after
the Republicans have the advantage
of the time element in platform
building and as to candidates.
The Democratic chieftains I
have not been asleep at the switch ;
as international questions are j
highlighted. They are doing their |
j utmost to make political capital
as ominous clouds of war spread
j across our horizons. Public at
SOOTHPeRT, N. C.
ention is now riveted upon the
ayings and doing of two leading
ontenders for the party's Presiential
nomination, Mr. Rooseelt
and Secretary of State Corlell
Hull. The G. O. P. is greaty
handicapped in this bid for
lopular favor because their specalties
in foreign affairs do not
lave the opportunities for publicty
which come in connection with
he official duties of the incumtents.
The Congress, which has been
avish with appropriations for
nany new Federal alphabetical
igencies, has been notoriously
liggardly with national defense
trms of the government. They
iruned estimates of military and
laval men for placing our defense
on an effective basis. Lately
he public realizing the fate of
leutral nations has indicated in
:orrespondence with lawmakers a
eal concern over what this coun:ry
should really do with invaders
>f our island possessions or in
he continental United States. As
l consequence, it has stimulated
ittention into armament matters,
rhe feeling is that the time is
.00 short before the party contentions
to concentrate on this
tital subject. Hence, these re>orts
of special sessions to coniider
not only armament but neu;rality
questions as well. Reliable
>olls have demonstrated sentiment
for the Allies, but not the point
>f direct involvement in war.
The argument is made that the
jest cooperation short of direct
wrHrination with armed forces
s to repeal the Johnson Act,
vhich prohibits loans to belliger>nt
nations and the neutrality act
>f 1939, which extended the neu:rality
laws. The legislators, if
'ree to consult their own wishes
would prefer to postpone legislation
of this sort until mid-Nov:mber
when the elections will be
>ut of the way. A Congressional
session in August and continued
nto the early fall would keep the
solons on the job and away from
heir home district where their
presence is necessary for campaign
purposes.
The President's speech on Frilay
has provoked concern among
he professional politicos. The
ceeping the Pacific fleet in Hawaii
is expected to exercise a
noral influence on any Japanese
iggression in the Dutch East Inlies.
The Netherlands island possessions
in the West Indies have
iwakened interest in the Monroe
doctrine, which our country is
pledged to preserve preventing
'oreign powers from lodging on
?an-American shores. Besides,
hese Dutch isles are of immense
mportance to the Panama canal
lefenses. American industry will
suffer temporarily at least from
he loss of Belgian and Netherr
