 Indications that new name might be sent to the senate revived discussion among senator as to the possibility Of confirming such a SC lection, should it be made from among the list of men who were under consideration when MT. War ren was chosen. These included Arthur P. Rugg, chief justice of the Massachusetts supreme court; Gov ernor Groesbeck of Michigan and others.
 MCCamant Suggested
 A new name which appeared to- day in speculation over the vacant post was that of Judge Wallace Me Camant of Portland, Ore, whose election is said to have been urged vigorously upon the White House. II was Judge McCamant, who upset the plans of republican party leaders al the Chicago convention in 1920, by placing the name of Calvin Coolidge in nomination for vice president and stampoding the convention to him.

 GIGANTIC MERGER
St. Louis Southwestern Taken
 Over by C, R. l, and P.
WALL STREET IS SURPRISED
Combined Assets of These Two Roads Is Close to Six Hundred Million Dollars and Mileages Ex- ceeds 10000 Miles.

New fork, March 1l.-Control of the St. Louis Southwestern Railway company has been asquired by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway Co.,, Charles Hayden, chair man of the Rock Island. announced today.
 The Rock Islands acquisition Of the St. Louis Southwestern brings together two important roads In the southwest with total combined as- sets Of close to s600,OOO,0O0 and more than 10000 miles of track.
 Comes As Surprise.
 The announcement was a com plete surprise to the financial dis trict, which had been expecting that the next move in the regrouping Of southwestern railroads would be the annexation of the Rock Island by the Southern Pacific. At the same time 1t was believed the cotton belt" system was destined for inclu- sion in a new merger to include the Kansas City Southern, Missouri Kansas-Texas, Frisco and other roads.
 The latest development immedi- stely aroused speculation in Wall street as to whether the combined Rock 1sland-St. Louis Southwestern properties would be drawn into the Southern Pacific system or form the nucleus Of a new consolidation. a
 The Goulds Are Ont.
 The change in control of the St. Louis Southwestern marks the pass ing from the Gould management Of the last important western railroad which had still remained under their direction. Recognition was im- mediately given to the Rock Island fnterests by the election of Charles Hayden, Marcus l.. Bell, J. E., Cor man and N. D. Amster to the "cot- ton belt" board of directors.
 The Rock Island, which emerged from receivership in 1917, has a combined capitalization and funded debt of s3S3,03S,119 while that of the smaller road. $103.633,500.
 Alliance with the Rock Island" Mir. Gould said, "commends itself on geographical, traffic and , economic considerations as mutually benef- ciai arrangement and as definite public advantage, as well as logi- cal development of legislative policy which favors natural and voluntary selection as against arbitrary or compulsory grouping.
 Security holders of all companies may be congratulated on this devel- opment of interest in that property on the part of great railroad or ganization and its eminent and able management"

1900 miles inland, are practically
ocean ports for the shipment of
wheat in unbroken bulk to Liver

of the Welland and Erie Canals.
Both cities are in connection with
New York by water for the unbroken
shipment of barges containing the
equivalent of rs freight cars.
Situated at the very gateway to
the rich wheat country of the North
west, Duluth and Superior have seen
the shipment of grain increase by
leaps and bounds. The first shipment

bushels in 1870. Since that shipment

of this one city. The Great Northern
elevator system alone possesses a
storage capacity of almost 5000, 900
bushels. A single plant of this sys-
tenn handles 100000 bushels and
can receive, clean and reship 400 cars
in a working day of 10 hours. This
plant is the largest and fastest in the
United States. To completely fill all
of Superior's elevators once the
equivalent of 900 trainloads of wheat
is required. When the first grain
shipment was made from Superior a
boat carrying 1000 tons was a large
vessel. Today boats plying to that
port carry $4,000 tons.

must have killed great number OF

The fact that wild dogs do not IN

F. H. Clutterbuck OF tho Forest

it was not his American doughboy

an appeal for aid, a shrek of de-

found some lines in old Samuel Tay-
Tor Coleridge that fit it perfectly.
Think. They were written hundred
years ago. They run thus:
When France, in wrath her giant limbs up

Stamped her strong foot and swore she would

T HE most successful American
sculptor, 1 was going to say,

man who does Rockefeller
and lives in his house to make
the studies would probably have been
picked for such reason.
Davidson would stop me right here.
He would dispute as TO the meaning
of success" and prove that others
are the ones to interview.
But here is Davidson, who began
as an American boy in the East Side
Of New York and today cannot accept
all the important commissions offered
him.

You would say the most successful
is the one who gets the most great
