Mr.. Rockefeller, Jr., Addresses
Young Men on Opportunity.

Before large number OF young men,
many OF them members OF his Bible class,
John ID. Rockefeller, Jr.. delivered a
short address, last night. In the Fifth
Avenue Baptist church on Opportunity
lie expressed the belief that chance has
little 10 do in shaping the fortunes OF

sought.

anything. Then he sighs and believes
that opportunity has never offered it,

II suppose that IL oftens happens that
men are the victims OF circumstances
but more often a better explanation for

Secretary Wilson says that while ho
cannot yet assert that tho prevailing
hot wave is due TO the deforcstation
of the United States, he can assert
positively that this dcnudation Is
causing tho arid lands 10 increase, In
area; hat these arid lands cannot be
irrigated for lack water; and that the
lack Of water Is partly due to the des-
tructlon Of the forests at the sources
Of the streams. Ilo asserts further.
that as tho arid lands increase, SO
will the hot winds increase whilo their
progress is facilitated by tho iestruc-
ton of tho forests which once acted
rs wind breaks, modcrating tho temp
eraturc At all seasons OF tho year.
Thus, the opinion Of tho Secretary In
regard to the heat conditions is plain,
although with scientific caution ho
hesitatcs to state his ideas as fact.
On tho other hand, the chief Of the
Bureau of Forestry Of the Depart
mcnt, says upqualiticdly that the hot
spells of the middle west were un.
doubtedly duo in part to the destruc-
tlon Of the forests, especially In Michi-

Col. II. G. Ford, of this city, has
some Interesting letters, legal docu-
ments. eic., some OF them dating back
nearly a hundred years ago. Through
Mr.. Ford's kindness and courtesy we
were shown a number Of these.
Among them we noted a pardon
issued by President Andrew John
son, 10 the year 1866. to an uncle OF
Mr.. Ford's mother, Robert Mckenzie
by name, who was n Quarterinaster
General on the stat OF Gen. Joseph
Wheeler In the Confederate army.
Among others of these interesting
papers is u bill Of sale of negro
woman during the carly slavery
days; also letter written from the
port OF New Orleans in the year 1917.
We do not remember whether this
letter was written by or addressed to
one of Mr.. Forh's relstivcs; but In II
the writer stated to his friend that
he had just been helping load a ves-
sci that would soon set sail for Eng
land aud he would probably embark
with her. This was in the early days
before the time OF the steamship and
the railroad. Agricultural products
were brought down the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers, on lat-boats from
old Kentucky aud the intervening g
states to New Orleans, and thence
shipped by sailing vessels to the
European countries. In those days
Mr.. Ford's grandfather owned val
liable plantation In Kentucky aud
realized thousands of dollars on the
tobacco which hc shipped down the
river.
These papers are not only valuable
to Mr.. Ford ms family relics, but thcI
would be of interest to the public Il
placed with the exhibit Of the Mis-
souri, Historical Society, at the com
ing Worlds Fair In st. Louis.
