forward have taken place during the last
few years and that the outlook is brighter
than ever before for commercial pros

Said Mr.. Pickens:

PROFIT IN PICKING FERNS
Around Springfield tile Farm Folks Turn to it in the Fall.

Springfield, Mass, Special.
 At this time of the year and until heavy Snows the residents ofthe Hamp- shire hillo are busy sarning pin money by fern picking. he fern leavesused for fern picking. The fern leaves used for decorations arc not grown in hothouses but on rugged hills and especially on the hillsidos Of Hampshire County Mass. Thousands of ferns are picked here every fall and early winter by the country folk and shipped to city dealers who pay from $1.26 to g. 9 thousand forN them. according to the season. The cost of the fern picking is merely the labor of picking, for any one is at liberty. to gather ferns who has ambition and strong hack.
 The ferAs are most luxuriant in and around HuntinFton and whole families start out tJgether to gather thefn. The sword fern Is the variety they are af ter. and this gets its full growth by the middle of october. Only the long straight leaves are cut and the roots are not touched A small bladed knife or q pair of sharp scissors Is a neces- fly, for tho stalk of the fern leaf is very tough and will cut the fingers if an attempt is made to break it with the hands Care is taken to lay the fern leaves perfectly flat and then they are taken to the farm house to be made up in bundles of 1000. Some farmers have contract to supply 5000 a week to the florists in the cities of Spring field and Holyoke.
 One woman accumulates an enormous supply in the fall and puts them in cold storage to meet the demand that comes at Christmas and New Years. All the young people in the village spend their spare time in gathering the ferns for her and she pays thom 40 cents a thousand.
 Another pursuit that these country folk engage in ut this time Of the year is gathering wintcrgrcen. The plant is now at it's best and its berries are rich in oil. The plant grows abundant ly in these hills and it Is not difficult to gather bushel of leaves in 6 day A good price is paid for them by Bos- ton and New York drug firms.

It only goes to show that the use of the writing mach ues Is extending rapidly y--beyond those who make their regular living at it The time will come. I think, when the hotels will keep machines for the use of their guests, just as they now keep pen and ink in the writing room. We rent them here at from forty to fifty cents an hour, but the hoteIs could af- ford to make a charge only large enough to keep the machines in order and to save them from beginners

 He stood next to the President of the Southern Railway. All of the Vice Presidents and officials below him sre-' ported to him, and he reported 10 Pres ident Spencer. His great capability as a manager of the operating dspa rtment of the road stamped him as one Of the greatest traffic men of any road in the United States, and he may be said to have virtually bore the responsibility of the operating department.

 It is this experience that has caused the directors of the road to select him as President of the mammoth system.

Finley has been an official in Atia4ta; both of the men rose through their dwn persistent efforts to the highest office of one of the largest roads.
