For Wc
Many of the great businesses of the
country, figuring on the immense exr
pansion of trade which is bound to
come within the ne?:t thirty or forty
years, have organized what System
calls "to-morrow departments," and
are taking steps to safeguard against
a failure in material, in supplies, in
facilities.
TT*?AvnmnlA 4 Vi a Dnnid

Railroad consumes more than 7,000,000
wooden railroad ties a year. All
railroads together consume 110,000,000?one-twelfth
of the sawed timber
in the country. Analysis determined
the necessity of creating a new
source that would afford the supply a
generation from now.
The Pennsylvania Railroad created
therefore a to-morrow department?
a department of forestry. The railroad
has planted 2,250,000 trees in
the State of Pennsylvania. In the
nursery at Hollidaysburg are 300,000
trees that are ready to be transplanted
this year; near Altoona the com'
panv owns 14,000 acres of forestry
r land and many thousands elsewhere.
Here Is an expenditure which must
be repeated every year for generations
before first returns come in, but
it is good business policy; present
values depend upon future prospects.
Other roads and other industries
have established similar to-morrow
$ departments, for timber is the raw
material in lumbering, in paper, In
woodworking.
The International Paper Company
owns or controls 3,000,000 acres of
forest land in Canada. It has timber
lands in New England and New York.
In Vermont old and worn out farms
with young spruce upon them have
been bought, with no returns available
for twenty years.
More than this, the to-morrow departments
must see to it that present
consumption is most economical. In
place of the old policy of extermination
cutting is most scientific. Smaller
spruce trees are left standing, as well
as the woods not suitable for paper
making. This will then furnish the
cutting for the next generation.
Paper mills all over the country are
coming to realize this necessity of
buying insurance for the future by
assuring their timber supply, and so
with chemical concerns. The Amer!
lean Agricultural Chemical Company
! controls 2000 acres of phosphate
lands in Florida ana use possessions
elsewhere.
i Chemical capital Is invested In nitrate
beds of Chile, property which
may not be .touched for half a lifetime.
The lumber industries are preempting
the available supply of forest,
and, more significant, are planting
rubber trees?during the last two
years more than for the two decades
previous.
In McKean County of Pennsylvania
Is a virgin forest seven miles square
?untouched amid denuded country?
one of the hemlock properties of a
leather company; and many more like
concerns are learning from this example
the necessity of protecting the
future of their bark supply.
Foresight for to-morrow is not confined
entirely to the big industries.
An Illinois brick company, for instance,
has acquired a bank of clay
three miles long, sufficient to last a
hundred years. Even though good
location; seem unlimited to-day, to\
morrow this company thinks they
may be rare.
! Except as to protecting his markets
the manufacturer operating on a
small basis may not have the resources
to assure himself of the safeguards
for to-morrow, but hundreds
of smaller manufacturers are doing
this by co-operation?through their
trade associations.
The National Hickory Association,
fcr instance, is aiming to protect the
to-morrow of every one of its members
by three lines of activity. It has
a statistical bureau which gives information
as to the most economical
points for timber operation and
makes recommendations for assuring
a continuance of supply. Its inspection
bureau is investigating the possibilities
of new varieties of woods
and of less expensive woods for the
same purposes. The by-product bureau
is making studies and recommendations
in the working up of the
product.
Many of the railroads have bought
their fuel supplies half a century
ahead. A few iron and steel industries
have guaranteed their ore supply
for the same period. A generation
ago the railroads had practically no
to-morrow policy. If they had been
wise enough to carry out such a policy
they would not have been obliged to
put the hundreds of millions into terminals
which are now being spent
that way.
The lesson has been learned. A
New York Central official declares
that $30,000,000 a year is going into
lands to be drawn on later. For instance,
the Northern Pacific has acquired
property at Seattle worth $30,000,000,
at Tacoma $12,000,000, at
Duluth, at Butte, at Spokane $14,000,000
more. The stated policy of
the Harriman roads is to have
enough future lands available so that
for each additional car it can put into
Immediate use 362 feet of yard" trackage
and siding-:.
Against the time when coal lands
will be exhausted a number of Eastern
railroads are acquiring water
power rights through subsidiary corporations.
The steam railroads have
no present use for this power, and
the money so invested must lie idle
perhaps for many years; but they
must be prepared for the future.
Some time?no one can predict the
date with assurance?the electric
locomotive will upset our traditions.
Then to-day's millions will return I
dividends.
The smallest industry can apply
this same principle. The big industries
are cited only because they are
conspicuous instances: the Western
Electric Company at its new Hawthorne
plant has enough idle land to
rrcvifle for manifold expansion; the
I

of the Great Industries?
Half a Century Ahead?
?Brick Makers Get Clay
>rk of the Future
mercantile uoiise of Sears, Roebuck
& Co. has forty acres of empty
prairie land around its plant, ready
for to-morrow's building.
The United States Steel Corporation
owns land at Gary and Buffington,
also seven miles of lake front,
with riparian rights which will permit
nf rhp making of as much land
out in the lake as the company will
ever require. The Corn Products
Company has acquired a whole township
and put its factory in the middle
of it. The free land of the AllisChalmers
Company will allow the duplication
of its West Allis plant in a
straight line six times over.
Retail stores are looking to the
future, particularly in congested districts,
by providing foundations for
structures erected capable of supporting
additional stories as the vol- j
ume of business demands.
Down to the mirutest detail this
look-out for to-morrow may be carried.
A company making various
lines of apparatus is overhauling its
catalogue system in such a way that
it will be possible to group kindred
styles of apparatus under simple numbers.
The plan has been to number styles i
consecutively as they were originated, j
Now each type is to have a thousand j
numbers?style A will be called 1000,
style B 2000 and so on. Improvements
in type A will be numbered
1001, 1002 and so on. Adding to this
the use of the loose leaf in the catalogue,
the future's orderly expansion
so far as concerns this one little detail
is provided for.
Then there is another kind of tomorrow
policy?the progressive tomorrow
departments, which embrace
those that are studying future demands,
altered customs, future markets,
future possibilities in the way
of inventions and devices. Farm implement
makers are investing great
sums in experiments so that the business
of their sons may be abreast of
demand and of progress.
A large machine making plant
spent a million dollars in one year
in this experimental work. An automobile
factory has devoted five years
to experiments on an automobile designed
for a particular and local purpose.
One appliance manufacturer actually
has in his vaults patents, devices
and models which represent
thousands or dollars invested, Dut
which guarantee to this company that
it will be ahead of demand for twenty
years. Ideas not commercially
usable to-day have been acquired for
possible use to-morrow.
Paper manufacturers have their
eyes on the annual flax crop of the
Northwest, where a million tons of
fine fibre stock go to waste every
year. In the South 22,000,000 .tons
of cotton stalks are destroyed. An
incalculable supply of cornstalks is
burned and plowed under. Great
areas of wild hemp and marsh hay
find no commercial uses.
All these products, wasted to-day,
possess ingredients required In paper
making. All of them are to-day under
experiment. To-morrow they
may be commercial actualities. In
chemical plants scientists are being
paid to discern the secrets of nature.
Artificial rubber is a possibility. A
substitute may be found for cedar in
pencil making.
Reversing the proposition, present
raw materials are being made to produce
new products. Had the turpentine
been extracted from the yellow
pine that went to waste last year the
gross saving would have been $14,000,000.
There 16 no reason why every concern
that possesses raw materials
should not use commercial chemistry
to extract products from substances
heretofore wasted only in parts. As
important as a right supply of raw
material, men are learning, is a supply
of skilled labor. Here Europe far
excels America in foresight. Only a
few Industries and a few concerns
here have given thought to to-morrow's
supply.
The movement has begun. The
Winona Technical Institute at Indianapolis,
training boys to skilled
trades, is supported largely by business
men who have .the to-morrow
idea. The Lowell Textile School has
back of it manufacturers of fabrics
and textile machinery representing a
capital of $65,000,000.
Not a few concerns havj taken hold
o{ this problem themselves. R. Hoe

at Providence, are instances of

Corporations and private citizens
throughout New England are beginning
to realize the opportunities
which this region offers for profitable
forest planting. This year about
2500 acres have been planted in the
six New England States by private
citizens. In addition, a number of
water companies have adopted a forest
policy. The largest plantation of

One cf the most important phases
of reforestation in New England is
that of planting abandoned farms
and other waste land, which at present
is bringing no income. In Massachusetts
this waste land amounts
to ten per cent, of the total area of
the State, while the latest reports in
Rhode Island show 22S abandoned
farms. It Is this type of land which
is now being planted. Wealthy men
here see a good investment, and a
number of them have planted tracts
of at least fifty acres each this year,
with the intention of increasing the
size of the plantations annually. One

Another to-morrow department is ;
that which looks ahead and provides !
new and wider markets. A New Eng. < !
land carpet manufacturer hatS enough
orders booked to run his plant at
full capacity for three years ahead, j
but he realized that within that time j 1
other carpet manufacturers could ob- |
tain a foothold and make inroads into ;
territory which he cou?d not reach i '
now but which he would need in the ,
future.
So he launched an advertising cam- !
paign that was designed to obtain
these results slowly and to impress
upon the consumer the superiority
of his goods, and as carpets are not !
bought by the householder every day ;
this slow process had its effect and to- ;
day this manufacturer has a national '
business. |
An Eastern manufacturer of a ;
household article saw more than two i
years ago that his line was bound to ,
become highly competitive. There |
were no patents on his goods; small i
capital was needed to start his busi- '
ness; overproduction was inevitable. \
So he took a tripv abroad, started in J
a very small way a foreign trade by j
mail, gradually established agencies, i
expanded his trade.
To-day he does only a foreign business.
He is the most prosperous
manufacturer in his line. While others
are fighting for the profitable
home market he has a non-competitive
foreign market.

exterminator is a chicken snake about 1

in the barn and granaries of the farm.
All the year it wages incessant war
on the rats and mice about the place,
and as a result of the snake's strict
attention to business Mr. Johnson j
says he hasn't a rat or mouse on his J
200 acres of land. He says he never
has any corn eaten by the rats. Ho
has given instructions to members of 1

THE NAVY'S DUMMY DRILL GUN
By Walter L Baasley.
The recent brilliant and surprising
scores made by the ships at target
practice at Magdalena Bay shows a
marked advance over previous years,
and demonstrates that the men behind
the guns have been trained up to
the highest point of efficiency In the 1
various operations connected with
firing the batteries, such as quick
landling of shells, ammunition, pointing
and sighting, and other matters
entering into the performance of successful
naval gunnery. As recently
announced by the Navy Department,
The 7-Inch Dummy Drill Gun of
Our high-speed target records are
the battleship Maryand of the Pacific
Squadron carries off the honors, winning
the trophy by the fine score of
76,470; the cruiser trophy goes to
the Albany, having a score of 76,924,
while the gunboat trophy was won
hv thf> Wilmineton. whose record was
67,448.
As the successful achievements of
these creditable and record-breakjng
performances are due almost entirely
to a particular method of training,
it will he of timely interest to picture
and describe the dummy drill gun.
By the use of this device the men become
experts in lifting and loading
the heavy shells, and develop into human
automatic machines, handling
the weighty projectiles and shoving
them into the breech with great
rapidity and skill. The main object
of the "dummy loader" is to give the
Bhell men an opportunity to acquire
speed and proficiency in the Handling j
of the shells without wearing out the
breechblocks of the guns. Of late j
much attention is being paid by all j
the ships In the navy to .these drills,
for in actual service much depends
upon the promtness and accuracy of
the shell man. Should he "muff" a
shell at the critical moment, or let It
roll away from him, should he drop
It?in short, should he fail to send
It home safe and true when the
breechblock of the big gun is swung
open for him?the consequences
might be serious.
The "dummy loader" is the latest
invention of the Ordnance Department,
and is a facsimile of the breech
and powder chamber of a big gun up
the point where the rifling begins.
Loading It requires the identical motions
that are employed In the loading
and firing of the real weapon.
One man opens and closes the breech;
the shell man grasps the projectile
and quickly rams it inside, followed
by the dummy charge of powder in
a bag; the shell comes down the
return chute on the left side of the
apparatus; the "take-off" man catches
Lhe shell as it falls out at the end, and
shoves it again to the loader at the
front. The dummy powder charge is
handled in the same way, and the
whole makes a continuous operation
for the loader. By the time he has
put in the last shell and the breech
is closed and locked, it is ready to be
swung open again by the plug man,
and an additional shell shoved in.
A marked economic improvement in
the saving of the life of guns is thus
obtained. The breechblock of these
costly weapons would soon be worn I

Deep Mines In Michigan.
The deepest mines in Michigan, if
not in the United States, are in the
Lake Superior copper district. The
Red Jacket shaft of the Calumet and
Hecla mine is 4820 feet vertical,
while the Tamarack has two shafts
Dver 5000 feet deep?namely, No. 5,
which is 5180 feet, and No. 3, which
Is 5230 feet vertical* These Tamarack
shafts were sunk to extract ore
from the copper lode first exploited in
the Calumet and Hecla, and they cut
a lode having a dip of thirty-eight
degrees at a vertical depth of 4660
feet. By attaining a depth of one
mile underground and by showing
with what ease operations are coniucted
at that great depth, these Lake
Superior mines have demonstrated
that man is likely to be able to penetrate
at least as profoundly into the
earth as the ore persists.

A Sight For the Elk.
At a country fair out in Kansas a
man w^nt im tn ft tent where some
elk were on exhibition and stared
wistfully up at the sign. "I'd like
to go in there," he said to the keeper,
"but it would be mean to go in without
my family and I cannot afTord to pay
for my wife and seventeen children."
The keeper stared at him in
astonishment. "Are all those your
children?" he gasped. "Every one,"
said the man. "You wait a minute,"
said the keeper. "I'm going to bring >
the elk out and let them see you all."
Wanted Her Money Back.
George Cohan, the player, tells of a
theatrical combination that encountered
much bad business in its tour
of one-night stands in Ohio and Kentucky.

The "date" that proved fatal to the
life of the organization took it to
Marietta, in the Buckeye State. The
first performance was a matinee, and
the audience was a number no? much
larger than the proverbial "corporal's
guard." The disconsolate business
mnnaeer was hurrying out of the
office on some errand to the "back"
of the house, when he stumbled over
a little girl dissolved into tears.
"What's the matter, little one?"
he asked, forgetting his own troubles
at this sad sight.
"I wants me money back!" yelled
the youngster between wails.
"Don't you like the play?" asked
the manager. "Don't get discouraged.
You've seen only the first act."
"I don't care nuthin' 'bout the
play," howled the little girl. "I'm
afraid to set in that gallery all
alone!"?Lippincott's.
