An Official OF the Rock Island sys-
tenn Is quoted as saying that he Is
satisfied with the Immediate outlook
for the property. but declares that
the future OF that road, and all roads,
IL nnenaced by the burden OF constant
~ increasing wages and pressure Of
legislation affecting both property
and rates. He says gross earnings
Of the Rock Island in the current year
should run not more than per cent
below last year. The real effect on
traffic of the crop damage has not
been felt as yet, and probably will not
be felt until January. Rock Island
will show more than per cent earned

ANDERSON CORDIALLY
WELCOMED BY JAPAN
Records Disprove the Charge
That Envoy Was Persona
Non Grata at Toxic.

The official records Of the State De-
partment completely disprove the pub
1ished statement that Larz Anderson of
this city was found persona non grata
and was refused recognition as United
States ambassador at Toxic. On the con-
trary, Mr.. Anderson was welcomed with
the greatest cordially. and he and Mrs.
Anderson we're received in their official
capacities by the emperor with the ut
most formality and with impressive cere-
mony. They were conveyed from the
embassy to the imperial palace in one of
the royal equipages with large escort
of splendidly appareled Japanese troops
and officials of high degree. That recog-
milton was accorded with a full knoWl-
edge on the part of the Japanese gov
eminent of the probable short continu-
ance OF Mr.. Anderson in the anlbassa-
dorial Office, owing to the political change
In the administration.
Records in the Case.
The records show that Larz Anderson.
then American minister at Brussels. was
promoted to be ambassador at Toxic
November IA. and very soon afterward
proceeded directly to Toxic. where he
presented his credentials in due form
and was received formally. December 13
he was nominated. but that nomination.
like other diplomatic nominations made
by the last administration, was held up
as the result of the political struggle in
the Senate.
Unwilling to have his record clouded
by the statement that his nomination had
failed to receive the approval of the
Senate, and that he had been dropped
from the diplomatic service, Mr.. Ander-
son cabled his resignation to the State
Department to take effect March 3.
Before the resignation was acted upon
the Senate relented and confirmed the
entire list of diplomatic nominations, in
Guiding that of Mr.. Anderson as ambas.'
sador to Japan. Meanwhile he had been
granted leave to quit his post.
Sails for United States.
TOXIC, Japan, March 15.-Larz Ander-
son. who recently resigned the post of
United States ambassador to Japan,
sailed today with Mrs. Anderson from
Yokohama on board the Manchuria for
San Francisco. Col. Arthur Bailly-
Blanchard, secretary of the embassy, is
acting as charge d'affairs.

MR.. WILSON GREETS
i MEMBERS Of PRESS
Appreciates That He Has
Been Kindly Treated by
Newspaper Men.

President Wilson yesterday afternoon
received the Washington newspapermen
and respondents-between IS and lOO
strong-for the first time since he has
been at the head Of national affairs, in
his workroom in the executive offices. The
President shook hands with each man OF
the press as he was presented by James
d. Preston, superintendent of the Senate
press gallery He afterward made short
extemporaneous speech.
Regretting that the great numbers or
the visitors prevented him from reee1V-
ing them in q more informal way. ne
said that it was through no Wish OF ms
that he had been barred from meeting
them before.
Not Unfriendly to Press.
He had not expected to address them
en- masse, but found that the army that
had descended upon him could be
reached in no other way.
contradicting what, he said, appears to
be prevailing opinion. that he has not
the highest opinion of the press, he SAID
that he had great respect Tor the ira
ternity. acknowledging that ne mad eA-
pressed himself plainly when spec1nc IN
stances came to his attention to Wn1cn
he may have taken offense. That sense
of injury, however, did not extend to the
press as whole. winch lie Tegdrueu dS
the best means at the disposal of pub
lie man to reach the ears of the entire
people.
He had been treated most kindly by the
press-more kindly than any incoming
President of the United States-more
kindly than he deserved, he said; and ne
was duly appreciative. Newspaper men
who had been gathered about him while
Governor of New Jersey and during the
campaign, he said. had treated him with
great consideration
He was confident that the pleasant reia-
lions he had maintained with those menu
bers of the press would extend to the
newspaper men and correspondents OF
Washington. He was proud to be MEM
Der of the National Press Club, he said.
Welcome at White House.
The doors of the White House, he said.
are not intended to shut out the news
paper men. but to facilitate business.
His good friend, Misunderstanding to
his private secretary-had, he was GER
tain, shown the open door to newspaper
men, as.it was done In New Jersey. which
the President hoped. would prove possible
in a national way as well as In the more
limited activities of statehouse.
The President will go slow, he said. AS
a man finds difficulty in judging what
the whole pattern is like from observation
of a cross-section, so he is not sure that
he knows all sides of a question from the
views presented to him. The way to
make sure that he does not go wrong, he
said, is to go slow, as he proposes to do.

AGRICULTURAL METHODS
ATTRACT SENIOR CASARES
Under Secretary Of Argentine's De-
partment Is in Washington
Seeking InformatiaQ.

The organization of the Argentine de-
partment OF agriculture has been made so
elastic as to be able to respond to all
necessities Of the country's advance, de-
clared Senior Miguel +. Casares. under
secretary of the department, who is in
this country TO study agricultural or
ganization in the United States. The
Argentine government. says Senior Cas-
ares, undertakes to keep in close touch
with all forms of progress in the prin-
cipal countries of the world, SO as not to
miss anything which might be Of real USE
illness to Argentina.
To Make Careful Study.
1T am thus to undertake a most care
tul and comprehensive study of the
changes which. during the last Ave
years. the United States Department Of
Agriculture has undergone" he said.
"and likewise that of the Dominion of
Canada; and at the same time visit all
Che state and private institutions which
are at present carrying on a most i'm
portant work along these lines, such as
those relating TO cooperative systems;
rural credits: practical agricultural edu-
cation: experiment station work: work of
farmers clubs and associations and
movable agricultural schools"
Senior Casares also plans to study the
work covered by the Departments of
Commerce and Labor, which, In Argen-
tina, come under the agricultural de-
oDgt0ent.

WIDE SILOS ARE
TIE BEST, SAYS
EXPERT

That silos should be two and a
half times as high as they are wide
is the reply of Prof. c. A. Occck, of
the department of agricultural en-
gineering of the University of Wis
cCnsin to a recent question as to
whether or not it is practicable to
build a concrete silo, ten feet in dia-
meter and fifty feet high.
CAS- a rule we do not consider a
siIo fifty feet high and ten feet in
diameter to be we'll balanced, writes
Prof. Ocock 'fBeter Proportions
would be twelve feet wide and thirty
eight feet high, if a silo of about
eighty tons capacity is desired.
Should a silo as narrow as ten
feet be built in order that the silage
for small number of cows may be
fed fast enough to keep it from spell
ing, special attention must be given
to reinforcing the walls properly"
Bulletin 214, issued by the Col
lege of Agriculture of the University
of Wisconsin, gives complete direc-
tions for constructing silos, with tab
les showing the amount of reinforce
ment to be used in silos of different
heights

JAMES HILES RE-
FUSES REELECTION

James K. P. Hi es OF the town Of
Dexter, who has been chairman Of
that town ever since his fathers
reign, % or 80 years ago refused to
serve any longer. He is now in poor
health and wants somebody else to
assume the responsibility. The Pitts
vile Record pays him the following
compliment:
Mr.. Hiles has been chairman Of
the Town Of Dexter for the past
quarrer century, and with the excep-
ton of a few years during the reign
of Nash Mitchell, his sway has been
continuous. Being himself a heavy
property holder, it was his aim al
ways to rule with the promptings to
do the most good with the least a.
mount OF money possible, and today
the Town of Dexter displays in i'm
provements the results, OF his fore
thought and judgment.
Another place where his presence
and influence Will be missed is on the
county board. Here he has been d
yeritable old war horse, and many's
the time he has clamped on his ar
NOR and charged full in the face OF
the enemy when the interests Of
Western Wood county were at stake.
And many's the man and many's the
measure that's felt the shock Of his
charge and the insistent prick of his
spear in combat. His humorous sal
lies on the flcor of the open board Will
be remembered. With Jim Hilse no
man was spared, whether in mirth or
otherwise, and he fought his fight
with shoulders squared supporting an
honest conviction. He was not a
small politician by any means; open
and above board, it has been said OF
him that you could always put your
finger on Jim Hiles, and knew exact
ly where he was at all the time.
Mr.. Hiles' recent illness brought on
a weakness of the heart that must be
fathered and this, presumably, is the
reason for his refusal to again be the
chairman of the Town of Dexter

bers of the Forest Hill Cemetery AS
sociation plan for another years
work? Are you going to help? 1t
seems SO small a sum to ask "One
Dollar" a year for the care Of the
place where so many of our loved
ones rest, and yet, if each lot own
er would pay the One Dollar we
would be able to keep a man all sum
mer and two men during the busy sea
son. We could have shrubs, plants
and flowers, and be able to point
with pride to our cemetery, feeling
that it had kept pace whit the other
Improvements in our city. We dis
like very much to think, tha- for
lack of funds, the grass, weeds and
underbrush are allowed to grow as
it did before the Association took
