No Amero n living has been tried mere thoroughly titan ho in com- ) lex fields of constructive civil work, Administrative work of the highest order which carrier! with it the necessity for the exercise of keen business acumen. Thi republic of Culm, built upon f.rrn democratic foundations, is a monument to the administrative ability of, LeonP.nl Wood. n the Philippines is to be found another monument to his statesmanship. Leonard Wood, graduated in medi cine from narvard University in 1SS4 and served for more than a year in one of the great hospitals, later to take charge of the charity departments in a section of the city of Boston where the poor lived. Not long after the completion of Woo.fs work in Boston he became an assistant surgeon n the army, coining into contact with ihc western plainsman, the miner, tbp people generally, and giving much of his time to the work of assisting the Indians and to a study of th problems of irrigation and reclamation. Then for Leonard Wood there came four years in California. He covered,; the state many times in pursuance of i his duties and extended his field as! occasion required into the states of the Northwest. Then for two years he was in service in the South, having ! headquarters in Georgia. j From the South Leonard Wood went ; to the city of Washington, where his work brought him into daily contact with Orover Cleveland. Then he had rh same intimate relations with Wib li;im McKinley fstul the men of his time. Thn came the Spanish war and the active campaign in Cuba a the colonel of the regiment of rough riders of which Theodore Roosevelt was the lieutenant colonel. At the close of the Spanish war Leonard Wood's supreme administra-i live duties began.- He was made the' governor of the city of Santiago and a few weeks later of the entire east ern half of Cuba. ! Fr 'or Wood profiteering was abo!-i ished, industry was built up. ngricul-j tare rehabilitated, hospital organ-: ixed. equipped and maintained, tens! of thousand? of people clothed and j fed and all this done In a thorough! businesslike manner. It was done vm- j r tribulations which arose from the fact that the people were im- ' poverished to the point cf starva- ! lion and had been dying by thousands I for the lack of the things which Wood quiekly provided. Then there came the rehabilitation of the municipalities. tb osfobtth.

varieties of it than it has been the lot of many men ever to have placed upon their shoulders. Not long after this thero came the greater opportunities in Havana. It was necessary to re-write the election laws io make them fit the habits of the people. Production had to be stimulated, for agriculture was the main souree of the island's wealth. Here again the same measures were followed and as a result there were estallished law and order, protection of life and property, and liberty within the law. These were the foundation stones. Wood knew that the government must be run !y t;ie Cubans, and so 00 per fent of Hie nilicials encaged in the -r-eat work of reconstruction were peered from the pecple of the island, fiio Cubans wore taught government wmlo the government- woe- hoinw ...;

and thus they were able to run it when the mb of the island was turned over to its inhabitant?. When it became necessary to reorganize the Cuban railroads Voo.l' seeured the services of Sir William Yan Home, president of the Canadian Pacific, and of Granville M. Dodge, builder of the Union Pacific The same general policy -was followed In dealing with the problem f caring for the tons of thousands of orphans that had been left by the war. Homer Folks, commissioner of charities of the state of New York, was caller! to Cuba by Wood to aid in tHte establishment of a system for placing and permanently caring for these little desolates. Chief Jiistice White of the Supreme court of the United States, at that time an associate justiee, was consulted as to the method to ne pursued m reorganizing the courts. Leonard Wood was In Cuba about four years. He left there a reorganized and sound banking svstem, a oo.i imiroaa system, no debts, nearly ?U.joo,000 unincumbered, money in the treasury, a sugar crop of nearly 1,000 -000 tons, sound municipal laws, fine public works, a firm agricultural foundation and an absolute respect among the people for life and property. The school system which Wood established was founded on the laws of Massachusetts and Ohio. Roads were built which made communication speedy. The hospitals erected under his supervision Vl-ere nf tho highest tvpe. Lord Cromer said he wished 'this American officer was nvnttaWo vol ; low ium Ia his reconstruction work m Egypt, riihu Root said this work nexer was paralleled in colonial pos-s-essi0ns anywhere. Theodore Roosevelt said that Leonard Yv'ood has rendered services to Cuba of a kind which, if performed three thousand years ago. would have made him a hero mixed up with the inn god in var.ous ways." After the Cuban experience Wood was for five years la the Philippines eon fronted with the difficult labor of establishing a civil government, this time among a Mohammedan people. There he did - the same successful work he did in Cuba. This period of residence in the Philippines gave Wood an nnnnrtnnt study conditions in the British colonies, Borneo, Singapore, and to keep in doe touch with conditions in Japan and along the China coast Wood traveled through India, spent fnme time with the Dutch ia Java, and with Lord Cromer in Egypt. He gained and retained knowledge of all which at that time came under hisVuinous observation Then Leonard Yv'ood bes of the general staff of the United States army, la whose hinds rests very largely the direction and administration of the military establish, whkh after all is 00 per cent a 'huir.ess matter. The administrative career of Leonard Wood is spread upon the record 3 cf his country. The work which hi tas done is lasting. It is a etztcraaa's work.

A private or governmental agency of national range, to supervise or direct the marketing: of the nation's farm products would probably break down of Its own weight, in the opinion of David F. Houston, secretary of agriculture. He calls attention, in his annual report, to the fact that measures to this end have recently been introduced in congress and that the present time is especially fruitful of proposals of a large and novel nature designed quickly to solve marketing problems. "In the field of distribution, as well as in the field of production," says the secretary, "the farmers of the nation must assume the main tasks of A Good Type of Potato Stora; House. (Greeley Experiment Station, Greeley, Colo.) imiu-oveinent. The government sho-dd furnish all jiossible aid in the v..i information and suggestion, create favors-, hie conditions under which production and distribution may take place, and especially so" that the channels of trade are open and that abuses do not exist. "There is no quosti; n," continues the secretary, "that everything which can legitimately be done to eliminate waste in marketing and to promote orderly distribution should be done. But the views of the most experienced students of the matter seems to he that we must approach the problem in simpler terms, work along lines which have clearly proven to be feasible, and promote existing tendencies and practices. A Field for Work. "Certainly we can proceed further by state, federal, and individual action in standardizing the production, the handling, and the packing of farm products ami in promoting the use of standard containers and proper storage on farms, in transit and at market centers. We can continue to furnish assistance in the preparation and installation of accounting systems and more extensively and accurately gather and -furnish to the farmers of the nation all pertinent statistical information. I need scarcely emphasize the paramount importance of making available daily to producers facts as to market priees, supplies, and demands. The market news services of the department of agriculture have already clearly proved their value. The department now conducts and operates an inspection service on f raits and vegetables covering 304 markets. Help Co-operative Associations. "Particularly must the federal and state agencies omit nothing to promote farmers' co-operative associations along right lines. Already, within a generation, many such bodies have appeared and rapidlv expanded. It Is estimated that they now market annually approximately $l,r.00,000,000 worth of commodities. They are of very diverse forms and sizes. For the most part, where they have been successful they have centered their activities on some one product, or on related products, in a given area. The Indications are that with the continued success of these enterprises and with the proper educational effort and direction they will develop even more rapidly in the future. Through bulletins, news articles, and lectures the department of agriculture has endeavored to stimulate these efforts. "The department is requesting increased funds to make this extension possible and will take the necessary action promptly if the appropriations are made." 1 FIEED FOR F.I0RE DAIRY COWS Animals Afford Market for Crops and in Return Produce Foods for Farmer's Family.
