WOOD TO BE USED AS FUEL

''If the coal strike continues an
other wood fuel campaign as con-
Quoted in Iowa during the war will
be necessary. says G. B. Mcdonald
of the forestry department of Iowa
State College who had been in con-
ference with Governor Harding in
regard to the fuel situation.
Great care must be taken how
ever" said Mr.. Mcdonald" that tim
Der on hillsides and very sandy soils
should not be cut. Last year the
mistake of cutting some Of this tim
Der occurred and II should not be re-
peated this year. In eastern Iowa
there is timber that could be cut
without injuring the forests part
icle. In fact the forests would be
in better condition II undesirable
trees we're removed thick stands
were thinned, and decayed wood cut
out.
During the year 1918 there
were three million cords of wood
used for fuel in this state. This
consumption was double the average
which was about one and one-half
million cords. II the coal short
age becomes serious there is little ex-
cuse for people suffering for want Of
fuel for domestic purposes. as there
is a large amount of wood fuel in
the state.
''If wood fuel administrator is
appointed IL is more han likely that
administrators will again be selected
in each of the wooded counties Of
the state. These men will handle
the wood fuel problems In their
counties. II must be impressed on
everyone, however. that promiscuous
cutting of trees will prove detri-
ment to the forests of the state"

whether the American garrison had
withstood the guns of the foe, until the
break of dawn revealed his country's
starry emblem still afoat over the fort.
He had been detained during the bonn
bardment but or September ~ was
permitted to leave the prison ship. He
hurried back to Baltimore, his head full
of the words of the song that was des-

night it was sung in Baltimore to the
tune of the old English air "Anacreon
in Heaven" to which it is still sung
today.

Whether or not Mr.. Tanner did or
did not think of his three children at
that desperate time, it is far better rs
it is than to have them ask him in later
years when they would be wise enough
to understand, or even wonder between
themselves why their father couldn't
possibly have found some means of get

killed.

A Test Of a Good Executive

THERE is a man in Atlanta, Ga,
L who is the head of a prosperous
business employing some three hundred
men.
The business is a complicated one.
Prices change frequently and buying is
! quite a scientific operation. About
fifty travelling statesmen make frequent
correspondence with them an ever pres
cnt job requiring quick decision pre-
scented with tact.
The man who manages that business
has some job on his hands. l should
think it keeps him hard at it from
morning till night" That might ex-
press your opinion on the matter.
. And yet he appears to have all kinds
of time on his hands. OF course, he's
there the first thing every morning, but
it's seldom that he is seen after lunch.
Gail on him any time and has always
time to talk with you. Ask him if he
will go round the links with you and it's
ten to one that he'll be ready and will
ing to go.
He is in touch with every happening.
His influence and personality are felt
in every corner of the enterprise.
How then does he have so much lei
sure?
It's because he does not clutter up
his mind nor consume his time on
routine matters, and because he has
trained executives who are given a free
hand in their own department.
No man can be considered a good
. executive who is so tied to his desk with
details that he has no time to think.
Show me a man who adjusts his time
so that he can sit and smoke n cigar in
the afternoon and gaze through the Of
flee window looking at nothing in par
t~iCular, end you will show me an eXccu-
tive.
lie may think of one thing during
that period of apparent idlcness that
may save or make thousands of dollars.
| used to be II travelling salesman and
often called On CustOmers-nighty good
fellows, tOO-whO could not stay with
me beyond five minutes at q stretch.
Then they'd think of some trifie that
ought to be done and they'd have to
run Off to see if the boy had done it.
Then a parcel may be delivered and
off they would rush to see if it was
that case of carvers which they were
waiting for. Then the telephone would
ring and they would have to listen to
see if it was anything special-and as
likely as not they would have to give
suggestions to the girl what to say.
And ask that man to have dinner
with you at night and he'll decline
because he has so much work to do
that he'll be there until 10 o'clock at
night.
I've known store proprietors who
regularly swept the store and were
forever busting counters. Yet they
thought they We're executives, whereas
they were merely glorified errand boys
busy doing chores for everybody on
the place.
They let everybody lean on them in
stead of using their employees as props
to themselves.
1t is said that Rockefeller tells all
his executives that their job is to hire
people to do everything for them. That
enables them to think of the broat
policies of the enterprise and to keeI
free from the vision destroying rou
tine practices of every day affairs.

Sir: The manner in which William

He died with his wife, whom he had

His act was true to form for men.

That's the wonderful power of my

stefan. 1T makes every one feel what

Then why do you play such sad,
sad tunes?" demanded Peggy, severely.
You have filled all Birdland with woe
and misery"
"Oh, / didn't mean to do that" cried
the young musician, but I have al
ways been so sad and lonely and dis
couraged that l suppose it got into my
music"
II have been sad and lonely and
discouraged, too" whispered Penelope.
Perhaps if you would come and frolic
with us you would learn to be happy"
"Gru-ur-ur-urgh !" growled Johnny
Bull, but Peggy called him off.
Then Billy played a merrier dance
than before. The young musician came
down from the tree and Joined with
Penelope, Peggy, the animals and the
birds in their joyous antics. But all
tire while he kept his eyes on Penelope
and all the time the. look in them be-
came softer and deeper.
When Billy ceased playing the young
musician took the violin saying, Now
l can play a glad tune. I can give
you the wonderful new feeling that has
come into my heart"
And he played a joyous air Of such
beauty that the birds chirped with
pleasure and the animals gathered close
to listen. As the young musician went
on n new note crept into his playing,
a note low and marvelously sweet.

A test of a good executive then is
the ability to hire workers and to let
them carry out the ideals of the chief.
The good executive is always master
of the business and of his own time.
The poor executive is mastered by the
business.
The poor executive is driven by the
business.
The good executive drives the bust
ness.
What's the answer in your case?
