public information were left in such
chaotic condition that Congress has
had to make large appropriation
| to another branch of the government
services to audit the affairs Of the
defunct Creel organization.
THE liquidating ofYicer in charge
Of this work has already reported
that literally thousands OF dollars in
checks sent in as subscriptions to the
Official Bulletin were found strewn
about in the records left by Creel
and bis associates were careful to
months TO restore any semblance OF
order in the affairs of the bureau.
The committee declares that Creel
and his associates were carful to
make a record at least according to
their personal files to establish an
"alibi" should their transactions
with Babson be questioned later.
They filed notice that all files and
records OF the Office were open to
the public but according to the COM
mittee no publicity was given this
notice and as a matter Of fact Bah
son alone enjoyed the privilege OF
consulting and copying the once
records and paid nothing for II. The
right TO consult the records the re-
port declares was denied rival and
competitor Of the Babson organisa-
ton.
mot only was Babson permitted
thus secretly to take over the mail
ing lists OF the Bulletin, but the
subscription accounts were also OPP
ened up for him to copy. Babson
thus became aware Of the exact am
cunt due on. every unexpired sub
scription. He at once circularized
all these subscribers, stating that the
amount due would be refunded by
the government and urging the sub
scribers to assign him the amount
due SO that II might be credited for
a continuance of the Bulletin. Bah
son evidently intended to later re-
imburse himself by presenting those
assigned claims to the government
liquidating onicers. we'll knowing
that Congress had ample provision
for reimbursins him."
The committee d .ted further that
Rochester, who wss continued -
editor Of the Bulletin whom Babson
took II over from the Creei commit
tee. urged subscribers to continue
their names on the circulation books
because the publication would be
published in the same form by the

sale:
The A. ]. Davis Land Company of
Greenwood closed a trade last week
through Mr.. Fowler, their wide awake
representative in this community,
with Mr.. A. S. Kennedy for $50
acres of land just south of the town,
at S125 per acre. Mr.. Davis, the head
of this firm told US that the company
expects to cut the farm up into SO
and Is acre tracts, improve it where
necessary, by putting comfortable
dwellings on the tracts and sell to
desirable farmers whom they hope to
move into the community. He says
they have settled hundreds of far
mers during the past few years NOV
ing from one section to another
through their fine system of adver'
tising. Mr.. Davis says that the
average price of good farming land
like this land throughout the country
is now $4OO per acre. He is counting
on very material rise in the price
of land in this section of the country
which now is very much lower than
other sections. This tract of land is
above the average, its fertility, gen.
eral attractiveness and location. II

FORMER SENATOR
ISSUES WARNING

Cleveland, May 5.-Describing the
present day as an, "era of artificial
prosperity" Former United States
Senator Theodore E. Burton of Ohio,
and former president of the Mer-
chants National bank of New York,
in an address here today urged for
mer soldiers to drop their bonus
claims and revive the old patriotic
spirit which holds "that money is not
the sole compensation for the ser
vices rendered their country"
Mr.. Burton declared that a period
of materialism, selfishness and dis
ruption threatens the whole nation.
A bonus at this time, he said, would
mean an added burden to the pres
ent high cost of living.
"There is an emergency and crisis
facing the world" Mr.. Burton said.
"a perfect orgy of selfishness and
exaction exists and the country is
resting upon a staggering weight of
debt and taxes. The high cost of lv-
ing has not merely become an unen-
durable burden, but a source of de-
moralization everywhere. An era of

Lows of Yew For Modern Archers

It is far cry from long-range
rifles and high-powered explosives to
tie bow and arrow of the American
Iadian. Nevertheless, bows and ar
COWS are still used by the small boy,
albeit not without sorrow to the
t,eighbor's chickens. There is also a
demand for stronger and more ex-
pensive bows for archers of mature
years. Doubtless these facts account
for recent sale, on the Snoqualml
Rational Forest in Washington, of a
quantity of yew, to be used in max
nss bows. Although the Forest Ser
vice of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture sells variety of
Forest products for unusual uses,
this is probably the first case in
which the final product is to be one
Of the oldest and most common
weapons known to the world.
The yew has long been known as
tue best of all bow woods. Famous
English archers would have no other.
Richard 3rd, ordered bowyers to
nake four bows of witch-hazel, ash
or elm to every one of yew, in order
that the supply of this valued wood
might be preserved. This is said to
be one of the earliest forest regula-
tions in England. The slaves from
which bows were made in those early
days were seasoned for three years
before being made into bows and the
bows were not used for two years
after being completed.
The American yew is botanically
yery similar to the European yew.
One of the three species found in
the United States grows only in
Florida and is small tree. Another
is a shrub growing in the north At
iantic region, while the third occurs
in the forests of the Pacific coast. 1t
is the latter that grows in the Sno-
qualmie National Forest. When ma
sure it usually is from 20 to 80 feet
high and from 6 to IL inches in dia-
meter.
On account of its elasticity and
strength the Indians of the North
west utilized the wood of the yew
for their bows and often for canoe
paddles. Yew wood is also well adapt
ed to carving and numerous attrac-
tive articles can be made from it.
Not only does the grain Of the wood
make it possible to carve attractive
designs, but the combination of red
bark, white sapwood, and rose-red
heartwood make especially pleasing
effects possible.

but the game ended with the bases
full by Appl flying out to right field.
On Friday the Tigers met defeat
again at the hands of Dorrance, by a

(From The Leader)

Fanny Stout, '16, is teaching at
Winona.
The Y. NJ. C. A. has been trying to
build itself more and more around
the nucleus of service which such an
organization should have. 1t feels
that the building and launching of
three row-boats for use on Normal
Lake, has been part of that service
program.
The outstanding feature of the
work of the organization throughout
the year has been the laying of a
good foundation for future Y. M.

Leland Caswell, retiring president
of the Y. NJ. C. A; Fred Weaverling,
head of the social committee, and
Bruce Whitney, retiring vice-presi-
dent, go to Estes Park this June. The

Glasses Breakfast in Groups

On Wednesday, May II, everybody
piked, faculty included. The Seniors
walked the railroad track TO a cozy
spot for breakfast; the Sophomores
breakfasted as one jolly bunch in the
Normal Dining Hall. The where
abouts of the Juniors was unknown
and the Freshmen seemed to be learn
ing fast.
Everybody went to the fairgrounds
between nine and ten o'clock, and
thus the day started. When subjects
for conversation and games began to
grow dull, all people that would be
arranged in orderly rows on the seats
of the grandstand in choir formation
started such a series of songs that are
only heard from a college bunch.
Somebody had brought pair of box
ing gloves and as more arrived the
singing stopped to watch the progress
of the manly sport.
Occasionally a faculty member
would show up and join in the fun.
Finally came the call Everyone line
up for Chow" Beans of course,
potato salad for change, and some
buns with honest to goodness ham
were part of the menu. "Wait a min
ute, don't you want brand new tin
cup filed with black coffee and thirty
cent sugar." We had been promised
pie la mode and sure enough it was
there-apricot and raisin with a
chunk of ice cream that made your
eyes bulge.
The shade was very welcome and
many stayed in the shade of the trees
to talk over the past as well as the
future. Gradually the students dis
persed, some to the ball game with
Loretta, some to pick violets, and
some for a boat ride. But all in all
pike day was such a success that it
will probably happen again next year.
The Academs went to Clusters Is

ports they had the time of their life.
