VIEW OUTLOOK WITH ALARM
Citrus Fruit Growers Fear Forest De-
Pletion Will Seriously Affect
Their Increasing Business.

The eaters Of Florida oranges and
grapefruit may not think Of refor-
estation as in any way affecting
their breakfast tables, but the Flor
ida citrus fruit growers have a diff
ferent point of view. The Florida
grapefruit and orange crop now re-
quires on the average more than
100000 boxes yearly to get it to
market. By 1880, if production
continues to increase in similar
ratio to that in recent years, the
output will require 100000 boxes
annually. Each box requires about
51a board feet in lumber.
Local southern pine forests are
the source of the raw material for
these boxes, but the supply is drawn
upon also for wooden containers for
the products of Florida truck farms.
Truck farm products of the state
now call for 100000 boxes an
nually, and this demand also is
growing.
Forest Depletion under methods
which do not provide for regrowth
has reached a point which makes the
question where containers are to
come from matter of very practical
concern.

Mrs. jerks was telling Dinah one

"They're going to make people

smilingly told Dinah. Nothing

FORMER WASHINGTON
BOY is HONORED

Frank P. Maxwell, a cousin
of w. E. McMonigle, local mer-
chant, and a former Washing
ton boy, has recently been ap-
pointed chief deputy revenue
collector of East Tennessee.
This is a much-coveted office
and Mr.. MaXwells friends here
will be glad to hear of his pro-
motion. The following account
is taken from the Knoxville
(Tenn.) Democrat:
Frank P. Maxwell, for sew
eral years engaged in the in
ternal revenue service at the
Knoxville and Nashville Off
ces and especially in East Ten
nessee, has been transferred to
the Office of division chief dep
uty, succeeding j. A. Higgins,
who resigned effective Dec. 81.
"Mr. Maxwell was assigned
to take charge of the Office on
january and his transfer
was announced Tuesday by the
commissioner of internal rev.
enue upon the recommends
tions of E. B. Craig, collector
of internal revenue with head
quarters in Nashville.
"The internal revenue rules
require that the position of Di-
vision Chief must invariably be
filled by a man promoted from
the force of deputy collectors
and especially selected on ac-
count of his natural fitness and
previous experience, and ne
must be especially well inform
ed concerning all income and
miscellaneous taxes.

OBSERVING CLEANUP DAY

Elsewhere in this issue Of
the Telegraph appears a proc
lamation by the mayor setting
aside Wednesday and Thurs
day of next week as cleanup
days. The need Of a clean up
day in Washington is obvious
and the value of a clean town
need not be discussed here. If
the clean up campaign can pre-
vent one case of typhoid or ma
laria it will be well worth the
effort.
There should be a hearty re-
sponse to this proclamation

He was the owner Of a new auto,
and, of course, inexperienced in
many things. The car had stopped
three miles from town. A friendly
"old-timer" gave him the informa-
ton that he was out of gasoline.
"That's funny" said the new owner.
"rhe fellow that sold me the car
said whenever the gasoline indica-
tor passed that mark (pointing to
the emergency of one-half gallon
left) to be sure and stop at the next
gasoline filling station, and it is
three miles before l come to one

that Mr.. Maxwell was chosen
for this position on account of
his general knowledge and eX-
perience in that particular
work, he having served in all
of the departments. He show
ed marked ability in the hand
ling of the complicated income
tax work. Records of the dis
trict show that Mr.. Maxwell
stood at the head of the list Of
the men making the highest
records in the district under
Collector Craig.
More than three years ago
Mr.. Maxwell entered the er-
vice as a special employe, be-
ginning work after the passage
by congress of the war revenue
act of October, 1917. He was
assigned to the income tax
work and to special investlga-
tions under the revenue agent
in charge of Tennessee and Al
ALBANIA. working mainly in the
Nashville and Memphis terri
tories. In June, 1918, he was
appointed a general deputy col
lector and transferred to duty
under Collector Craig. Since
that transfer he had worked
principally in East Tennessee
with occasional income tax
work in the Nashville office.
"Mr. Maxwell is a Knoxville
young man and is well known
in this city and section. He was
receiving congratulations yes
terday from local friends on
account of his transfer to the
responsible position in the rev.
enue department. His office
will be maintained in the local
federal building"

The practice of giving numbers

short excursions for food. The pups
are born helpless like human infants
are and are unable to swim for two
or three months. The bulls remain
with the females until the pups are
born and the foundation for another
years cycle is laid, then leave for wa
ter to feed and fatten.
Hanna counts only the groups Of
females and the pups. He is sure Of
his count, for the seals do not land
at any other place on the coast.
After the count is made govern
ment hunters enter the rookeries and
kill a certain per cent Of the bulls.
Last year 10000 were shot and the
fur marketed. This year Hanna esti-
mates as many as 10000 can be used.
The governments of Japan, Russia
and the United States equally share
in the expense and profit Of the seal

Thirty Thousand Seals Go Into Coats

II AkING the census of seals on
PribilOf islands, Uncle Sans fur
bearing ranch, is the job of DIR. George
ID. Hanna. Each year from May until
late September he strolls about among
the huge boulders Of the bleak shore,
lodging the threatening bulls who are
ready to fight to death to protect their
harems, counting the inhabitants.
The first seals to arrive at Pribilof
are the old bulls. They climb out of
the water and select homes for the
females, who are about week behind.
PribilOf islands are the first land
the seals have touched since the past
autumn, for they spend the entire win
ter of seven months in midocean float
ing on the surface or diving after food
In the depths.
AS fast as the females arrive the
old bulls take a position on the
beaches and round up as many wives
as they desire, usually about thirty.
These are driven by the ferocious bulls
to the rock-bound home, sometimes
Ssix or seven blocks from the water.
The younger bulls, who fear the older
ones or masters, follow the females
and secure what are left. Some of
the younger males do not mate until
they are three or four years old.
The seals remain on land continu-
ously for three months except during

ingredients Of the Big Melting Pot

ID ACIAL composition Of the popu-
N latiOn of the United States in
1920, as announced by the census bu-
reau, shows 1892, 431 white persons,
1O,463,O13 negroes, 242,95O Indians,
111,O25 japanese, 81, 1886 Chinese and
9,4S5 others. The Japanese race ex-
ceeded the rate Of growth in the last
ten years Of all other classes.
Unofficial estimates of the Increase
in japanese in the United States, par
ticularly on the Pacific coast were
borne out in the official tabulation
which revealed a rate Of expansion of
$50 per cent. California absorbed
8O,596 of the growth of 38,s6s Japa-
nese. On January /, 1920, there were
1852 japanese in California. The
remainder of the increase was dis
tributed largely in Washington state
where there are 1883; Oregon 4,151
and Utah, Colorado and New York
with between 1900 and 1900 each.
The white population showed only
a 10 per cent expansion and the negro
6.5 per cent. Both the Indian and
Chinese groups dwindled 80 per cent
and 1873 per cent, respectively. The
growth ia the white population was
considerably less than the rate for the
previous decade, which was 22.3 per

Bureau Chiefs Must Help, Not Hinder

cratic interference, but several in.
stances Of such action were called to
his attention.
He made 1t clear that the order to
bureau chiefs did not mean that they
would not be given an opportunity to
express their views on reorganization
to the commission which has under.
taken this work.
What the administration will not
countenance will be underhanded and
organized efforts within departments
to impede the work of the reorganiza-
ton commission. The President does
not intend to have the committees
task INSTRUCTED by selfish efforts OF
government employees to tighten their
personal holds on the federal treasury.
The administration is pleased with
the manner in which the reOrganiza.
ton committee, headed by Walter
Brown of Ohio, has taken hold Of the
work, but does not expect that it will
be ready to report recommendations
for legislation until the regular ses-
sion Of congress beginning next De
cember.
The cause of the Presidents order
was the outcome of complaint made
to him a few days ago by the chair
man Of the joint commission, that ac-
tive propaganda to counterfeit the
plans of the commission was in prog.
ress and was likely to influence con
gressional action.
