NJ
Sioux Falls-At this time. when

ton OF the public on every hand. and
especially in South Dakota, II may be
interesting to know that at the sug
gestion OF tho committee on aRrical-
ture, house Of Representatives, Prof
Willis l.. Moore. chief o. the Il. >.
weather bureau, made a report ON the
influence OF the forests on climate ami
floods. which report was not long ag
published by the direction Of that
committee and should have wide pub
licity. because Of it's importance. IS
p~ecially upon the subject Of our for

In general. the report Is the result
OF p~ainstaking and thorough %researc

In this conclusion admits a change oi
opinion from that which he presto 4sly
entertained on the subject as a re-
suit OF his Investigations. Prof.
Moore believes that forests should b
protected BY the state and nation and
should he economically conse we'd In
the interests OF the whole pecp'e, an

w! ASHINGTON had a safe and
w sane celebration of the national
birthday. In years zone by the ma.
tional capital has been roted for the
noisiest Fourth Of July celebration of
any city in the union. Last year they
adopted the safe and sane" idea.
Day fireworks and a parade in the
morning with speechmaking on the
plaza fronting the city buildings. In
the afternoon a motor parade and, at
night. an illumination of the Monu-
ment grounds aud more fireworks.
The safe and sane idea took well
at first and Washington determined TO
stick by the modern form Of ceiebra-
ton this year. Therefore the celebra-
ton last Monday began with the read
ing OF the Declaration of Independence
IN front of the city buildings. Ten
O'Clock was the hour set, but. as luck
would have IL. the same hour the Bos-
ton Red Sox and the Nationals
crossed bats. The Washington Post
and the Washington Times have Of
fees opposite the city building. A
crowd OF about 1000 people had gath
cred for the ceremonies. At the news
paper Offices the ~megaphone men had
been connected by wire with the base
ball park.

w pals in the Washington public
schools has been telling her friends OF
some amusing incidents Of the final
examinations before the close Of the

Among the questions she gave TO
the children in the third grade was:
Name the five races of man Iaag.
ne her surprise when one tot an.
swered: Automobile races, horse
races, airship races. foot races and
bicycle races"
Another question was: Name some
of the organs of men To this enc
child replied: Mouth organ. hand
organ. pipe organ"
The spinal cord was defined as a
string running from the back of the
head to the bottom of the heels.
Ears" said one. ARE just as impor-
tan as good clothes AID should be
taken care Of Just as well. Don't let
bugs crawl into your ears. but If one
should get in there syringe your ear
with soar suds and afterwards drop
some mOlasses into it."
