tion and protection as public utilities
necessitate large expenditures which
yield no money returns, the narrowing
gap between expenditures and receipts
holds out the prospect, those, in charge
of the work feel, that the revenue, will
in no great time exceed the operating
cost.
With the demand for timber markedly
stimulated by war conditions, the gov
ernment forests anticipate a further in
crease in the national forest cut and the
receipts for timber during the current
year. On the other hand, they point
out that an increase in business will
necessarily call for more work and in
creased costs. Congress provided for
this by increasing the funds available
this year for national forest administra
tion and protection by about $80,000.
Of the grazing receipts cattle furnished
approximately $900,000 and sheep $570,-
000. On account of the feed shortage I
faced by the live stock industry through
out a great part of the west last sprin
and because of the needs of the nation
for meat, wool, and hide production, the
stock were admitted early and up to the
full limit of the carrying capacity of the
ranges. As a result of regulated grazing
the capacity of the ranges has been
growing greater for some years, the for
est service officials state, and the
crease in grazing receipts is in part due
to the fact that the herds on the for
efts this summer are larger than in any
previous season.

The effect of the extraordinary de
mand for steam sizes of anthracite that
followed the industrial activity in 1916
and the high price of bituminous coal is
indicated in the figures showing the out
put of washery product and dredge coal,
Although the freshly mined coal in the
anthracite region, including Sullivan
county, showed a decrease of 2.6 per

How You Caa Spot a Good Executive.
Thomas E. Wilson, the Chicago pack
er, says in the August American Magazine:
"The higher up he is, the more de
pendent an executive becomes on those
under him. The real u-ces of an ex
ecutive, it seems to me, rests on his
bility to promote wisely, and at the
same time to keep the force working
in harmonv and contentment. A little
jealousy here and there in an organiza-
ion can ruin its efficiency. I have known
men who had enough peneral prsop of
things to have made great department
managers, only they could oot get along
armonioiiclr with thoe about them.
If a man cant get along pleasantly with
is aociates he cannot occefu!!y
ndle a force of men. I never like to
promote a man to a repr:bie place if
he ha failed lo work in hearty co -exer
tion with the men alongside of him.
