How do you recognize it?''

The First National Conservation
Congress of the United States which
will convene in the Auditorium of the
Alaska YUKON Pacific Exposition. Sc
attic, August 90. 81, % promises to
be great general convention of prom
inent men and women from all sec
lions in which conservation has re-
ceived any attention. Arrangemen
for the Congress have been completed
by the Executive board of the Wash
ingtOn Conservation Association. an
organization having several hundred
mem bers in different counties OF the
state. Conservation is the living
question of today. 1t comes BEFORE
the people as necessary climax to
the continued waste of natural re-
sources practiced in the past quarter
of a century of western development.
Ii suggests the calling of halt to ex-
travagant methods of utilizing the
forests. water, soil and other gifts
of nature bestowed for the benefit of
the human family. Every great re-
form movement of the world has en-
listed the earnest support of every
thinking mau and woman who coul d
see beyond the horizon of the pres
ent into the fields of the future. Con
servation work is no exception to the
general rule of great movements in
the interests of humanity. 1t is broad
enough to include the consideration
of irrigation, water, forestry, soil,
good roads and other means for trans
spoItation, public health and morals,
education and all that goes to make
up perfect communities of prosperous
individuals. All these subjects and
many Others will be handled by prac-
tical men and women at the First Ma
tional Congress of Conservationists.
