 WOULD GROW SQUARE TREES TO IMPROVE QUALITY OF WOOD

(By International News Servicel
 Cambridge. England. May 21.-Why not grow trees squareg
 The Cambridge Forestry Asocia- tion, School ot Forestry, Cambridge following lecture by Alfred J. Win slip, is inclined to stake it's reputa- tion that this can be done" Thus, according to the association's Ar. chiyes," there will be mo more slabs, no waney blanks. no more horrid sums to convert frustra of cones into cubic feet. 1"
 "It is an easy as falling off a log, indeed the time may come when such mishaps will be almost un- known" adds the report.
 The method, 1t is explained. is prac- tised by gardeners, who slit the bark to cause fruit trees to make wood. Further, when the bark is bruised without being removed, or even slit, a growth of somewhat different kind takes place This is the cause of warts. The wood in both cases is of greater superior quality to that of the parent tree.

STORM DAMAGE AT HARRISON.
Crooked Creek Gets Six Railroad
 Bridges-Fiooded Part of Town.

Harrison, May 23.--Reavy rains on Friday and Saturday caused all dry branches leading thru here, and Crooked Creek, to rise to great height, overfiowing their banks and doing untold damage Six rail- road bridges between here and AL pena, including the big bridge just this side of Alpena, are washed away, and the large bridge just south of Harrison was washed down, cutting of all NJ. & N. A. trains. Carl Park CT, engineer on freight train, drove his engine thru bridge and narrowly esraped with his life. Elmer Garner had similar experience with another train. Communication out of here will have to be carried on via Berg man. on the Missouri Pacific.
 The lower section of the town. next to the creek, was flooded, and some houses were washed away. The light plant escaped damage by having a protective wall which held the water out of the plant. The water rose five feet in the Riverside Hotel, damaging 1t to the extent of $500 A number of houses were given liberal coating of mud on the floors.

HELP RAILROADS
 GET EQUIPMENT
Interstate Commerce Commission AL lows Millions From Revolving Fund to Bring Relief to the Freight
 Congestion.

! Washington, May 21.--A loan of at least SIPS, 100000 out of the $300,000,s 900 revolving fund to enable railroads to purchase equipment required to meet transportation needs of the pub lie was approved today by the inter state commerce commission.
 The campaign to break the freight congestion was we'll under way today, tho interstate commerce commission having taken three important steps to that end. These were orders for:
 Forwarding of traffic without ref erence to previous routing: abrcga- ton of all railroad rules governing car service; transfer of 32.000 coal ears from west to east, and of 10000 box cars from east to the grain fields of the west.
 Expected Promptly.
 These moves were expected within ten days, members of the commission said, but they expected that a much longer period would be required to "get the entire tangle strengthened out"
 Millions or DnSneiS oi tHe 1SAS wheat crop still remain in the wheat districts awaiting shipment, it was said.
 Other recommendation for the dis bursement of the revolving fund pro- vided in the transportation act were as follows
 Temporary reserve for claims and judgments, S40,000,000; appropriation for short line railroads, Sl2,000, 900; temporary reserve for maturities, $50, ,0O0, ,O00; appropriation for addi- tions and betterments which will pro mote the movement of cars, $73,000. 900.
 Equipment Needed.
 New equipment required by rail roads to meet minimum needs is esti- mated by the interstate commerce commission at 2.000 locomotives and 100, 900 freight cars. including 10000 refrigerator cars. The commission estimated that equipment already or dered and to cost SIPS, ,000 ,000, repre- sented probably less than 25 per cent of that needed.
 "It is evident" the commissions statement said, 'that the equipment required properly to meet the trans portation needs of the public cannot be secured unless the carriers them serves assume the burden of finane- ing the remaining 55 per cent. t'

Chicago.

The close was demoralized at the lowest point of the day of II lie to 13 1-2c in 24 hours.
 New York. May 2i.--There was spectacular break in the price of cot ton contracts for May delivery in the market here today. Trading in cur rent May contracts ended at midday and late in the forenoon there was q selling movement which carried the price off from 42.75, tie high point of the morning, to SS,50
 Decline in Cotton.
 New Orleans, May s1--Declines of five dollars a bale and more was brought about in the cotton market to- day by selling movement that start ed off the opening and gained headway as the session progressed.
 It appeared to be based mainly on bearish sentiment resulting from talk of lower prices for all commodities, although some of the selling was traced to better weather conditions over the belt and a consequent some what improved crop outlook.
 Late in the session the more active months were i0S to 114 points under the close of yesterday with July down to S7 .35 and October to 34.Ss.
 All Grain Hit
 Chicago, May 21.-Prices came down helter-skelter today on the board of trade. An grain and provi- sions joined in the big tumble. Corn and pork underwent extreme breaks. respectively 3-Sc bushel and $205 a barrel. July delivery of corn touch ing as low as sl.64 Is and July pork $3475
 Belief that drastic order would be issued for the railroads to move again on priority basis was largely respon- sible for a selling stampede that caused the smash in values. Much of the selling appeared to be in the na- ture of unloading by holders who no longer saw chance for profits on the bull side of the market.
 Drop is Rapid
 The downward sweep of the mar ket was so rapid that 1t was almost impossible to fill orders at blackboard quotations. Houses with country con nections were especially active in the selling. Tightening of credits received continued notice as q bearish factor and so too did extension of department store price cutting In widely distant cities.
