H0UGH AND THE TREES.

do not, for he was born one hundred
years ago July 20. at Martinsburgh,
Lewis county, New York, and he was
graduated from Union College and
then Western Reserve Medical College
away back in the forties. Few will
remember the name, yet he has as
unique monument as any man born
In the last century, for Hough is the
man who. after years OF struggle, got
the government to start a forestry
bureau.
His centennial year Is also the semi
centennial OF the first Arbor Day, ].
Sterling Morton having started that in
Nebraska In 1872. Rothrock, the dean

American Forestry Association, is car
rying on a campaign of education on O
scale such as those three old-timers
never dreamed of. Importance OF for
estry between the time OF Hough and
Pack is seen in the fact that Congress
appropriated $4,000 for Hough to start
with. That would not pay the annual
postage of the American Forestry
Association today.

Railroads Are Not Always At Fault
When Trains Are Late

Waiting on Connections
Under mutual agreement and for the spec
ial benefit of through and trans-continental
passengers, railroads hold many of their
through-trains, either at the starting point or
at intermediate connection stations for 80
minutes or longer. AL such delays, combined,
benefit the public but upset time tables and
play havoc with running schedules.
Delays IN Handling Mail
