When You Grow Bald.

AT first a whitish CLEAN appears.
A clouded moon that slowly clears:
Then soon your faithful friends begin
To whisper that your hair Is thin
The breaking clouds divergent roll
A crescent moon is at the poll;
Your friends begin to recommend
Strange dressings for your upper END.
They say this strange result must be
The fruit of early piety:
Your soul is monkish. they declare
The tonsure triumphs DER the hair.
And when you go to your hair-cutter
Mysterious sayings he will mntter,
And urge for a consideration.
His own remedial preparation.
The top becomes a stubble-land,
Where scanty signs of harvest stand.
At last, as friends cOnSoling think,
'Tis sleek as any roller rink.
A playing ground for sportive flies.
A cynasure of curious eyes
A blank or boarding, as the case Is,
To let for advertising spaces.
Your cap slips off and leaves you old;
Your head grows added with the cold
The question now is not of hair
But wigs-to wear or not to wear?

The Wheel Of Fate.

Some twenty years ago or more
She Tilted me, the lovely Rose.
And as l left her fathers door
The red-hot tears in sorrow sore,
In torrents coursed along my nose.
She later wed my rival. He
Was really quite a pleasant chap.
I could not blame her for that she
Preferred a man like that to me,
Although l walled my hearts mishap.
True she was twenty-five, and |
Had lately come to twenty, fiat;
But love is hardly reckoned by
A point of age. Hearts rectify
A difference as small as that.
But yestere'en their daughter fair,
A Rose more beautiful by far
A Rose for beauty past compare
Became my welded wife, and there
You see how queer things sometime
are.
Revenge is sweet, the wise men say,
| burst into a loud guffaw
To think that she who on that day
So coldly sent me on my way
Had now become my motherin-law

Forest Fire Protection.

More complete organization among
private owners of timber lands to
safeguard their holdings is one of the
lessons to be finally drawn from the
experiences of the passing forest fire
season. Officials of the United States
Department of Agriculture point out
that already in the Northwest. both
on the Pacific coast and in Montana
and Idaho. cumberland owners have
formed themselves into associations
when assess the members on an acre
age basis and thus meet the cost of
maintaining a regular control and fire
fighting organization.
Wherever possible, the government
forest officers cooperate with the pri-
waite forces so that employees of land
owners and those of Uncle Sam are
fighting common enemy as a unit
Such cooperation is advantageous to
both sides. Necessarily national for
rests need good deal of protection and
this carries with it protection of ad-
joining holdings. If the private own
ers would everywhere shoulder their
burden the public would gain as well
rs private interests.

The management of the store will be

Water Front Misuse.

The Journal Wednesday morning
Smith, United States commissioner of
corporations, in submitting his report
on transportation to the President
The letter itself. as well as the report,
is strong arraignment OF the adverse
control of railroads on our active wa
ter frontage. Mr. Smith calls the at
tention of the administration to the
fact that railroads and other private
interests nullify the advantages of
terminal use of even protected water
fronts. The letter says that the
terminal is the weakest link in the
water system; that water ways are
important. not as a settled static
condition, but as a dynamic transport
tation system. Channels alone do not
give ransportation-they should have
adequate terminals under proper pub
lie control in harbors effectively or
ganized.
MI. Smiths letter declares that har-
Dor organization, as a rule, is faulty
He says there are two prime features
of harbor commercial and indus
trial. The first function deals chiefly
with through freight, with the trans
shipment between rail and water lines,
that is, freight not destined to, or or
iginated at, the harbor itself. The In
dustrial function deals with local
trade. 1t affects local interests far
more than through traffic. He then
calls attention to the somewhere near
that private interests control them at
most of our larger ports; that out Of
fifty OF our foremost ports only two,
New Orleans and San Francisco, have
practically complete public ownership
and control of their active water
frontage. At some of the lake ports,
much Of the frontage is protected by
government breakwaters, but almost
no terminal use is made of it in spite.
of the serious congestion of the inner
harbor He says there is surprising
lack of coordination between rail lines
and water lines: harbors are not well
organized, and the water front is con-
trolled and occupied by railroads to an
extent that through traffic is lrnduly
handled for proper local and industrial
use. He says that often rail lines are
a positive obstacle instead of a bene-
fit to the handling of water traffic.
These conditions have been known
and repeatedly complained of by the
press for long time Now they are
in official form before the President
and are likely to soon be in the hands
of Congress. If railroads are not in
clined to cooperate. they should be
made to see that where their interests
conflict with those of the public at
large, the matter should be adjusted
on common-Sense basis that will give
full development of water frontage,
TO the end that the advantages of
cheaper rates may be enjoyed by those
who pay the freight.

put out of business some of the men
who have been making a living by
fraud, so much the better for the gen

large number of those who swallow the
