.BALLINGER MAY ,
AVOID PINCHOT
NAME MISSING ON PROGRAM
OF CONGRESS
NATIONAL CONSERVATION DELE
GATES DISAPPOINTED
Plan to Bring Disputaf1ts in Federal
Forestry Machine Together May
Be Defeated-Sessions Are
Outlined
[By Associated Press.l

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 21.-That r.
may not be present at the national
conservation congress which convenes
here next Thursday, became known to-
night when the official program for the
congress was given out with the name
of Secretary Ballinger omitted. Off
GERS of the Washington Conservation
association, who are engineering the
congress, admit that there is little
probability of Secretary Ballinger ap-
pearing.
Immediately before leaving Seattle
for Spokane, where he spoke before the
national irrigation congress, Secretary
Ballinger notified the officers of the
Conservation association that he would
be unable to return to Seattle in time
to participate in the congress- The Of
ficers of the association kept this quiet,
hoping that he would change his mind.
Since then no word has been received
from Mr.. Ballinger, but his friends
have said they felt sure he would be
on hand.
Having heard nothing from Secre-
tary Ballinger the executive board to-
day drew up the program for the con-
eress, omitting his name. In discussing
the omission, H. w. Carroll. chairman
of the executive board of the associa-
ton, said:
Still Have Hopes
when Secretary Ballinger left he
said he would be unable to attend the
congress. Since then we have not
heard from him, but his friends have
told us he would be here. Basing our
expectations upon word of his friends,
we hope to have him here to partici-
pate in the congress. Having received
no word from him direct, we omitted
his name from the program. If he is
unable to be present, we will find room
for him on the afternoon of the Sec
ond day."
Chief Forester Clifford Pinchot Is
down on the program for the morning
of the second day, his subject being
Principles of Conservation"
Besides Mr.. Pinchot, other prominent
speakers viii appear, among them be-
ing A. B. Farquhar of Pennsylvania,
Mrs. j. Ellen Foster of Washington,
d. c., Henry A. Barker of Rhode ISL
and, John Barrett, director of the bu-
reau of American republics; eX-Gover-
nor George c. Pardee of California,
James A. Emery, chairman of the eX-
ecutive committee of the National Man
ufacturing association, and Prof. F..
John Craig, Cornell university.

Wise Talks
By the
"Office Boy"

The employee who gets the
big salary and the best job is
the one who puts heart and
soul, good cheer and good will
into his work.
The Old Man says: "If
were working in a business 1
didn't own, 1 would do just as
l am ing in a business 1 do
own, and enthusiastically plan
and work for its greatest sue
cess. That's what l did in my
early days, and own a busi-
ness now just like that of my
former employers, only bet
ter" That's what all success
full men are saying today, and
they will be saying it always.
If you have d boss give him the
benefit of all the planning you
can; he needs it. And, besides,
it gives you practice in plan
ming, too, and you may be able to
plan some day for others who
forgot to plan for themselves.
The best way to get promotion
is to make the firm you are
working for prosperous. Napo-
leon once planned a whole CAM
paign between the acts, while
at the theater, so you uon |
have to take a day Oil, thinking
out things during ones spare
moments gives one a hundred

TO do business. A big manu-
facturer in New York said to
the old Man one day. Mr.. Sill
verwood, how can you POSSIBLY
exist in a city like Los Angeles,
where your competitors give
one-half off on their merchan-
dise?" The Old Man smiled and
said: "Those chaps out home
are all good fellows. They re-
mind me of those ticket scalp
ers in front of your New York
theaters. A friend invited me
to go to the New York Roof
Garden the other night. He
went up to the window, but the
house was sold out, so he was
informed. A couple of ticket
scalpers came up and offered us
dollar seats for $3.50 each, but
/ wouldn't let him buy them,
We walked up Broadway some
distance. In passing by the
theater on our return one Of the
same scalpers recognized us
and offered us the same two
tickets for $1.50 each. We
bought them. Still they were
dollar seats"

The clamor over "The Clansman' which comes to the Broadway theater on Monday. September 27, has been high. but careful critics are pointing out that it treats the negro with fair ness. It shows us the intellectual ne- gro in the lieutenant governor of South Carolina, the faithful and loyal blacks in Uncle Nelse and Nanny Eve. together with the baser types, such as the sheriff Aleck and the mill itiaman Gus. All this in a setting of the historic reconstruction period which the play portrays with marvel ous, fidelity while it brings before the spectator the awesome ritual and wonderful achievements of the Ku kluX Kan.
