CANNING MERGER

A merger of IA southern Minnesota
and northern Iowa canning compan-
les involving $3,OOO,OOO and uniting
canneries with large annual output
is an immediate prospect.
William H. Smith, head of the Win
throp canning company is a leader
in the move for the consolidation. He
did not make public the list of names
of the IA canneries, but indicated that
favorable comments have been re-
ceived from the majority of them.
Officers of each of the IA firms are
to take up the proposal with stock
holders Immediately to obtain a rati-
fication or rejection of the plan, Mr..
Smith said. He has called meeting
of the stockholders of his company
April Is to take action on the project.
Decisions by all of the firms involved
are expected within a month.
1--WE have a fair assurance that a
sufficient number of companies will
take favorable action and that the
proposed company will materialize be-
fore this years pack STARTS Mr..
Smith said.
eff it were not for this assurance,
no announcement of the plan would
be made at this time"
The season this year begins in Au-
gust, Mr.. Smith said. If the merger
plan is ratified by the various firms,
action will be taken to centralize man.
agerhent in time for this season.
The merger will make possible a
centralized sales effort, Mr.. Smith
stated in discussing the advantages
of the plan. 1t will reduce seasonal
market risks and increase canning to
include other vegetables in addition
to corn. Mr.. Smith also pointed out
that great economy will also be eff
fected by the unified and increased
purchasing power of a merged COM
pany.

SOFTWOOD SLASH MAY HOLD
BACK FORESTATION 20 YEARS


Limbs, tops, and other debris left
by the lumberman following the cut
ting of stand of softwood timber
in the Northeast may prevent the es-
tablishment of new reproduction for
period of Is to 20 years, says the
Forest Service, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture; in announcing
the results of study of the effects
of softwood and hardwood slash on
cut-over areas.
Following the cutting of a mixed
stand of coniferous and hardwood
trees, it is of more Importance to rid
over ereas of the softwood slash than
the hardwood slash, the Forest Ser
vice finds. While there will be great
er volume of hardwood brush left fol-
lowing a cutting of equal amounts
of both types of timber, the confer
Gus slash forms more compact masses
and is considerably more damaging
to the possibilities of young growth
than the hardwood slash. Dense soft
wood slash brushes and kills advance
reproduction beneath it, unless it is
removed. Hardwood slash, though
covering a greater surface area, is
less compact in nature, and, due to the
rapidity with which it disintegrates,
constitutes menace to reproduction
from only one-third to one-half as
long as coniferous debris.
In studying the relative amounts
and effects of softwood and hard
wood slash resulting from logging
mixed stands on sample plots estab-
lished in the White Mountain region,
it was found that on the basis of
equal quantities of each type of tim
Der removed, softwood slash covers
only about 60 per cent as much area
as hardwood slash. The data showed,
however, that only 80 per cent of
all the hardwood slash consists of
dense slash, as against 62 per cent
for softwood or coniferous trees, in
dicating the greater tendency of soft.
wood slash to compact itself.
Much of the spruce region in the
Northwest supports a mixed growth
of conifers with varying amounts of
hardwoods. Spruce and fir are the
principal species comprising the con-
ifers, while birch, maple and beech
make up the bulk OF the hardwoods
Although spruce and fir find a ready
market, hardwoods over the region as
whole are cut only sparingly ex-
cept where unusually favorable mar
ket conditions exist.

TRAGIC TALE FROM
 THE FROZEN NORTH
Prospector StaggerS Into Town
 Pal Died on Way

Crested Butte, Colo, Feb. 3 (UP) A strange story of hardship and death in the deep snow of the mountains near here was being in- vestigated today by District Attorney P. H. Stone, who ordered an au- topsy on the body of Earl Mack intosh, 29, mining operator.
 John Fitzsimmons, 2s, partner of Macintosh, staggered into town yes terday with a story of how he and Macintosh had started from the Keystone mine for town on skis Tuesday.
 Macintosh broke both his skis in soft snow, Fitzimmons said. He removed one of his and they started for Crested Butte on one ski apiece, but were unable to make it. Fitsimmons said he climbed a tree and kept from freezing by beat ing his hands and feet against the trunk all night. but in the morning he found Macintosh dead.
 A search party brought the body back last night. After an examina- tion. Stone said he believed Mackin- tosh either died of exposure while drunk or had been slain. Fitzsimmons was taken to a hos pital, suffering from exposure.

Great Northern R. K.

St. Paul, Minn., Feb. (UP) - Louis W. Hill. chairman Of the board of directors of the Great Northern railroad, revealed in an interview that he was the author of plan for consolidation of that line with the Northern Pacific "to frustrate plans of eastern interests to make the Burlington a holding company which would lease the two Northerns."
 The railroad head did not men. tion the names of the "eastern in terests." The two Northerns to- gether own 97 per cent of the stock of the Burlington. It is ad- mitted that the Burlington even tually would become a part of the consolidation.
 Hill termed merger of the North erns logical" because more than 50 per cent of the stock of each railroad Is held by the same group of men.
 "The consolidation has been in mind for more than 25 years" Hill said. Nothing developed to en- courage 1t until after the war. Then economic conditions brought about state of mind where the interstate commerce commission and even the people favored mer- gers.
 The I, O., C.. after a careful study, placed the Great Northern and Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul in another.
 President Charles Donnelly of the Northern Pacific and President Ralph Budd of the Great Northern had a thorough study made for their companies and appeared be- fore the l. C. c. to prove that it's grouping was not beneficial for the Northwest.
 "The commission took no action because the transportation act of 1920 encouraging railroad consoli- dations was incomplete, lacking enabling legislation. For this req son, certain railroads have been before the commission with pro- posals of unification through stock ownership and leases. Of such is the Great Northern Northern Pa cific plan.

So Soft
 So White
By Edna Wallace Hoppe-.

Nearly every woman who sees them envics me my hands. They ask me how l keep them so soft, so white, so young.
 They know that I travel all the time. My stage work encounters all sorts of grimc and dirt. In most cities the water is hard. Yet the most sheltered women rarely have such hands. They never chap.
 The reason lies in a hand lotion perfected for me by great experts. apply it whenever l wash my hands. It is not greasy or sticky. It disap- pears at once. And it ovcrcomes all that water does, all that soap does, all that grime does to the hands. Also all that weather does, all that the years do. My own hands form evidence supreme.
 This hand lotion is now supplied by all toilet counters. It is called Edna Wallace Hopper's Youth Hand Lotion. The price is 60c.
 urge you to try it. think I have tried nearly everything of this kind, but nothing compares with this. A guarantee comes with it. Your dealer will return your money if it does not please. Go get it and see what it means to you.

RAILROAD MERGER PLAN OUTLINED
Great Northern Chairman EX.
 plains His Stand

New York, Feb. tP Rumors of impending railroad mergers held the attention of Wall street today as renewed activity was noted in rail stocks.
 Rumors that the Baltimore and Ohio has contracted to purchase all or part of the Rockefeller holdings in the Western Maryland and Wheeling and Lake Erie were revived as Wall street sought an explanation for the advances in stocks of the last two roads.
 Reports from St. Paul. Minn., that the Minneapolis and St Louis railroad would be included in a new merger providing the first di- rect one-line rail connection be- tween St. Paul and the east also were considered by rail interests.
 The reported agreement between the B. and o. and the Rockefeller interests is said to have been made in the interest of another road. Both the Rockefeller office and George M. Schriver, vice president of the B. and O., yesterday re- fused to discuss the rumors.
 Those who accepted the rumor. however, emphasized that an agreement as to traffic and track age has just been made by the Baltimore and Ohio. the Pittsburgh and West Virginia and the Wheel ing and Lake Erie. establishing through freight rates over the lat ter two roads to points on the B. and O.
 Wheeling and Lake Erie com mon closed at 6S 1-4 yesterday with a net gain of 3 S4 points 1 Trading in Western Maryland was heavy. although the net gain on a turnover of 1o6,7OO shares was only 3-4 of a point.
 The St. Paul Pioneer Press said that indications that the Mime apolis and St. Louis would be in- cluded in the merger are seen ir the transfer of 25,600 shares of the roads stock at $2 advance over current prices on the New York exchange yesterday.
 Three brothers of Louisville, Ky, are holding paper profits of about $1.750,000. if they have not yet sold their 3o.o00 shares of Wheel ing and Lake Erie stock. the New York World says. The brothers, c. K, R. g., and A. D. Reynolds, bought the stock in 1920 at an average of s10 share and held it through the sensational rise of Wheeling and Lake Erie recently.

And Even Higher Type of Newspaper Stories Are Urged in Gotham's Drive to Avoid an Official Censor.

New York, Feb. 3.-(P1 While prepared today with a tentative plan to avoid official censorship the de- mand for more virtuous New York spread to music and the newspapers particularly the tabloids.
 Municipal adoption by ordinance of the now unofficial play jury was indicated as the plan by which the stage seeks to block official interfer- ence.
 As the demand for a cleaner New York extended, Broadway plays to- day had champion in Dr. Donald Give Stuart, of Princeton university. Dr. Stuart predicts 'bootlegging' of plays if official censorship Is decided upon. An immoral play may shock, but it will not harm anybody, he believes.
 City Ordinance
 Reports that the theatrical inter- ests would ask for city ordinance, formally recognizing the play jury system established by the district at torney, were current today after a three-hour conference among repre- sentatives of the actors. producers and playwrights yesterday.
 City officials and the district at torney's office today awaited details of the plan. Winthrop Ames, chair man of the stage committee, says the plan will be worked out in detail and adopted immediately if it is accept able to authorities.
 Producers Combine
 Legislative threat of censorship has brought New York producers, disbanded since 1924 because of diff ferences as to policy toward the Actors Equity association, together again in common fight against out side "meddling."
 The proposal under consideration, Mir. Ames explains, is available for the consideration of the legal au- thorities and the public officials re- sponsible for drawing ordinances.
 The committee sponsoring the new plan comprises: Ralph Morgan, Katherine Emmet, and Frank Gil- more, actors; Arthur Hopkins, The resa Helburn, and Winthrop Ames, producers; George Kelly, Sidney Howard, and Arthur Richman, dramatists.
 If the censors stop plays the producers will start hootlegging them," said Dr. Stuart. whose class in dramatics at Princeton yesterday voted "The Captive" the best play on Broadway.
 T have seen and heard of men who have been hurt by drink" he asserted. but never in my experi- ence have I ever run across anyone that had been morally injured in any way by the spoken drama" Bootleg Plays
 "Bootlegging of plays can be carried on just as bootlegging of in- toxicating drinks" he declared. If plays arc censored, private societies will be formed which will charge no admission to the plays, but to go one

 "As man of seventy, for years a sufferer from rheumatism, want to give my recommendation for Sloan's Liniment," he says. Ut is a fine remedy and will do all that is claimed for it.''
 Sloan's has been the standby of rheumatic sufferers for years because it doesn't just deaden the nerves. It helps the body to throw of the germs and poisons that cause the trouble by speeding up the circulation right in the affected spots.

 "It doesn't matter whether a play is moral or immoral" he maintained. If it is immoral person is shocked but not harmed"
 Audience as Judge
 "The audience itself is the most capable judge as to the morality of a play" he asserted, urging that "a mature audience is by far the best censor"
 The theater has always had the reputation of being immoral, he said, and it will probably have it for many years to come.
 The public and the dramatic critics are chiefly responsible for un- clean plays, said John Golden, pro- ducer, in radio address last night. The theater is immoral at present, he said, because the public wants it
