A. F. ADAMS SUPERSEDES MACKAY

A. f. Adams of Kansas City is the
man appointed by Postmaster General
Burleson to take over the manage
ment of the Postal Telegraph and
Cable company in place of President
Clarence II. Mackay, removed from
office by the government. Postmaster
General Burleson's order summarily
relieved the chief officers, directors
and owners of the Postal company
from all duties in connection with the
management of the entire system.
Differences between Mr.. BurlesOn and
Mr.. Mackay, acute since the federal
government took over the company,
brought about the action. The an
nouncement of the post office depart
ment said that the management of the
company neglected to follow instruc
lions and to put in force a new wage
schedule and an eight-hour day. w.

Why Tennessee Needs Forest
Preservation

Tennessee, with North Carolina
and Kentucky, is regarded by forest
service officials as among the most
important forested states of the east.
Tennessee has 26,679,000 acres of
land, with 100000 in forests. Thus,
nearly half Of the total area Of the
state is in forests. If this great
natural forest resource is not safe
guarded, one of the most important
supports of industry and springs of
wealth in this section of the country
will fail.
In point of fact, forestry officials
say, it has already been seriously i'm
paired, and the impairment is pro-
gressive. Many wood-using indus
tries are confronted with the danger
that local supplies Of material neces-
sary to their existence will soon cease
to be obtainable. When woodwork
ing establishments have to move or
close down, local prosperity is dealt
a hard blow.
For 1899 to 1917, Tennessee's pro-
duction decreased from 930, 1853, 900 to
$50, OOS,O0 board feet, or from 81
per cent to 1.S per cent OF the coun-
try's total.
Tennessee ranks high in wood
working industries. It has many fur

Produce InfertiIe Eggs

What is an infertile egg? II is
one in which the germinal cell has
not been fortified as the result Of
the hen mating with a male bird, and
which in consequence is incapable
under any conditions developing into
chick. While hens mated or run
ming with a male may produce some
infertile eggs, if the stock is strong
and healthy a large majority of the
eggs produced will be fertile. On the
other hand, if the hens have been
running without a male for 10 days
or two weeks the eggs laid by them
