WORST
FINANCIAL CRISIS
H. c. of l.. Largely Due to In.
flated Conditions, Says
Speaker Gillett

Springfield, Mass. Feb. S-The
United States is facing the worst fl
nancial crisis in it's history, declared
Speaker Frederick II. Gillett Of the
national House of Representatives. this
afternoon in an address before five
thousand persons. The present high
cost Of living, he said, is due largely
to the greatly inflated conditions. due
to the floating debt of 81, 900, 900, 900 in
treasury certificates.
Speaker Gillett also referred to the
Berger episode in Congress the diff
ficulties between the employer and the
employed and the Bolsheviki propa-
ganda and efforts to overthrow the
United States government.
The principal means of bringing
dow the high cost of living he de-
clared, Is by thrift OF the part of the
public, and unless the people save.
this country will face a panic similar
to that OF 1898. Speaking OF the FL
nancial interests of the country, he
said they are built like a pack OF
cards. 1t is up to the public to prac-
tice due care and eliminate luxuries
so that the present conditions may b.
bettered
Speaker Gillett said that the expulsion
of Victor Berger from his seat in Con-
gress a second time without having the
facts brought before Congress was
justified in that the Constitution provides
that no man, once expelled from his seat,
is eligible to return.
Like the problem of years ago, when
the government was forced to fight trusts,
the speaker said that to-day Congress
faces a new question at is a question
whether the combination of the employed
are not more threatening to our business
life than that of the employers" he said.
Continuing he declared he believed that
labor unions are essential for the protcc-
tion of the men, but when they 60 so
far as to threaten for their own advance
ment to stop the wheels Of the railroads
and close the output of the mines. with
out which our whole industrial organiza-
ton would collapse, they. in their turn.
are exercising a power which no govern.
ment can safely permit"

RESTORING BLACK WALNUT
Wood Of Seeding Trees May BE ms
Valuable al That of Original Forest

From the st. Paul Pioneer Press)
The restoration of black walnut trees
is being considered in several States. In
ONO the Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton in Wooster has just published a
pamphiet by Edmund Secrsst of the
forestry section on the ..flvation of
these trees. attention being called to the
great value of the lumber in many in
dustrles and its use in the Great War
Tor airplanes and gun stocks. for which
no other substitute could be found in
SUFFICIENT quantities. Mr.. Secrest saws
that With proper care trees may be
grown from seed or transplanting of
small trees to a state of maturity where
tho wood will be of as great value as
that of the original forest.
In Pennsylvania the State Forestry de-
partment has undertaken extensive seed
planting in An effort 70 resore the black
walnut. One hunderd and fifty bushels
OF seed have been planted in specially
prepared ground at Mont Alto, and
should produce 10000 seedlings for next
spring. Many requests have been re-
ceived from owners of woodland who
desire TO start groves of the trees.
A campaign of tree planting will be-
Cir in 1870 in Kentucky for the rejuvena-
ton of the forests. in which walnut vii,
be one of the special species planted.
Walnut Is said TO have been used by
the Romans, sometimes as veneer over
cedar. During the Middle Ages 1t was
a favorite wood for carving. beautiful
walnut bin and doors being elabo-
rate examples Of the fifteenth and six
teenth century popular use Of this beau
tifully grained wood.

a horse, as they say, and announced: Il
will take two." The price of each was
several hundred dollars.
