The thrifty people Of Freudenstadt may
devote their whole attention to their
thriving iron and chemical industries,
knowing that the beautiful and beneficent
forest will pay all the cost Of their NUM-
cipal activities.
Every year-until this-greedy private
corporations have sent their hordes into
the country about Chisholm to loo. the
great pine woods. leaving behind them, a
trail OF ruin and desolation and piling up
the dry slashings like kindling wood ready
for the match. Every fall the
patient people of Chisholm have gone
to bed with the acrid smell of burning
pine in their nostrils fearing lest before
they woke the forest might take its fiery
revenge. Last summer 1t came. For
weeks thick clouds of smoke lay over the
town. Then on a Saturday night the
hurricane of flame swept down and burned
Chisholm to the ground. So sudden and
dreadful was the onslaught that domestic
animals dropped dead I'm the streets. over
come by the heat. Men carried out their
sick on beds and rushed them through
the smoke and dying embers to places Of
