includes the states of Illinois, Wisconsin and Machi-
gan and every state west of the Mississippi. There

HOOVER ADVISES LUMBERMEN.
The ability of a nation-wide industry to attain effi-
ciency and conservation within itself was discussed
by Secretary of Commerce Hoover at a conference

Washington, last week. Further conservation and
standardization in Iumbsr production, Mr. Hoover
said, could be accomplished by the industry itself
more satisfactorily than through federal regulation.
