FAMILY TREE HAS
BEEN MUCH PRUNED

WASHINGTON, March down at
the forest service, on the wall of the
office which Cliff Pinchot used 10 oc-
cupy, hangs what appears to be a
family tree. 1t has little wiggly bran
ches, Zig-Zagging out from the main
shoot. The trunk, so to speak, was la
beled Forester" and the branches
were designated as operation" "silvi-
culture "silvico,'' and so on.
In Pinchot's day, that family tree
was a pretty graphic plan of the or
ganization of the forest service L
showed just the relation each of the
subsidiary divisions of the bureau bore
to the other; it indicated who was res
whether grazing matters were handled
under operation" or maintenance .
or products" or what not
But now the artist who should at
tempt to reconstruct the thing would
Rave to break the symmetry of it's
branches and the tout ensemble would
resemble nothing to much as Christ
mas tree after two months in the back
yard
No sooner had PiEchot been dismiss
ed by presidential order than Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson took up his
official axe and began chopping off the
branches of this tree-pruning down
the army of various officials
First, he Topped off that magnifi-
cent branch which joined the main
trunk near the top and was labelled
financial" The splendid shoot which
tapered down to the label law" was
next ruthlessly removed Then, the
browning glory of the tree, that fat
branch, educational division"-it it
was also called Tdivision of informa-
tion.' and ought to have been dubbed
press bureau"-was sacrificed There
may be more chopping in the future.

Provisions leaped forward again, with
pork in the lead, and gained from 10
to 35c on the closing figures.
Monotony in the wheat in the first
hair OF the day with prices varying
slightly up and down from Satur-
days final figures changed to a sharp
advance all along the line by heavy
buying by leading speculative concerns.
Nay scared from $1.14 IA to $1.15
7-8@$1.16, a new crop record price.
The more distant futures shared in
the upturn and mounted almost as
speedily as May, adding, from 1 SIS
to l Sac to the low points and also
touching new crop high points at $1.0S
ga for July and $1.04 SIS for Septem-
Der. The market closed strong at the
high point with May lac up at $1.15

Corn was inclined to sag, the decline
varying from Is to lac with a small
volume of trading. The advance in
wheat caused responsive movement
in corn, and developed strength which
carried the futures from 1-2c to 7-Sc
above the low point. May run up
from IS 12c to Sc 1-Sc. The other
futures made similar progress. Cash
corn prices remained unchanged with
light offerings and fair demand. No.

Trade in oats was featureless. Clos

May 1-8@1-4c. In provisions prices
advanced sharply, making new top rec
ords for many years in pork, which
touched $24.75 for the May delivery.

FIREMEN AND ENGINEERS
IN FAVOR OF A STRIKE

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Feb. 2S.-
F1remen and gineers on the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail-
roads have completed a strike vote and
it is rumored they have declared over
Whelmingly in favor of walking out
Tuesday morning unless the roads
grant the demands made last Novem-
ber
The men involved are keeping the
result of their vote secret, but outside
estimates declare it is 95 per cent in
favor of a strike.
Negotiations between the union and
the general managers are being con-
Quoted at Chicago and the result may
be influenced by the vote on the strike
question polled on the Chicago lines.

Secretary Wilson has so circum-
scribed the duties of the forest service
that all there is left to do is to grow
trees, and water those already growing
Henry Scion Graves, Pinchot's sue
cessor, has already announced that this
is his slogan. He'd decided to let the
family tree of the service worry along
without any attention, and to let time
heal it's grievous cuts.
The chief forester doesn't pose as an
organizer. Pinchot was. There is no
compliment to his energies than the
present Capitalization Of affairs in the
forest service, the outgrowth of his
ideas, the work of his brain. Graves is
tree grower pure and simple-any
says so himself
He has studied for years about trees
and he knows them. He is anxious to
grow trees, but is not apt to go beyond
that point, first because he does not
want to and second because Secretary
Wilson wouldn't let him if he did
Graves studied forestry first in the
university at Munich, Germany He
came away from there chuck full of
tree lore and then wandered around
Switzerland, Germany and Austria.
When he came back to the United
States he found Clifford Pinchot here
then the only consulting forester"
in captivity in America Graves ioin-
ed with Pinchot and the two hung
out partnership shing-e
The firm got just one client, the
Vanderbilt estate at Biltmore N. c. So
well did Graves do his part of the work
there that whensa man was needed to
tell the interior department about
trees he was chosen
The Yale university discovered in
him the right man to fill professor
ship in the new school that the elder
Pinchot had given it. CLAWS accepted

MISS MAN PROPOSES THAT
ALL WOMEN CEASE WORK
Says If Those in Factories and in Kit
chens Would Stop Suffrage
Would Come.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-A general
strike of all the working women in the
United States whether employed III
kitchen or factory is proposed in the
interest of woman suffrage by officers
of the Shirt Waist Workers union
here.
"If all the women in the country
would stop work." is the statement OF
Miss Rose Snyder Man, one of the
union leaders, "the men would at once
sit up and take notice. 1t is absolutely
useless for women to go to the legis-
lature and petition for suffrage. The
legislators look upon the petition ana
the petitioners as a huge joke. A gen
eral strike for the ballot would De
just as successful as was the recent
shirtwaist strike in this city"

a criticism called forth by the action
of the senate in passing resolution
which held that members of congress

Reported Damage
Raises Market

CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.-Wheat prices
advanced sharply to new record IN
the closing hours of the session today
on a wave of crop damage reports
and influential buying. Corn and oats
responsive to the strength of wheat,
disclosed firmness. but their advance
fell far short of the increase in the
major grain, which made a new top
price for the crop in all the futures

Great FURRY in Stock Market.

New York, Jan. 25.-There was a
flood of liquadating sales at the
opening of the stock market today
which broke prices severely in all
directions. The great disorder in
trading, it is reported, was governed
by the antitrust program. The be-
lief that the government would win
the decisions in the American To-
bacco and Standard Oil cases be-
fore the supreme court, was the &C
cepted explanation of the selling
Towards noon there was a pause in
the flood of liquidation and prices
rallied slightly. Up to that time the
declines ranged up to 6 1-2 points.

want in making 4 short ship cir
cut across the State Of Missouri
and into Kansas connecting nine Of
the best racing points in the west

gave all the races they advertised.
The Circuit name was changed to
add the good Kansas towns of
LeaVenwoIth, Topeka and Emporia

The Grand Western, was adopted

the name implies.

the whole labor cost, and the for
