RAvAoEs or FOREST FIRES
Lees Rstlmsted At e1so,oooOoo In One
year Laid to careIessness
of Woodsmen.

With q total estimated forest fire
loss for the entire country last year
ranging from $15O,OOO,OOO to $780,
100000, and causing the death of
several hundred persons, uneasy in
deed must rest the knowledge upon
any woodsman, experienced or anna
teur, that he caused a fire which
may have contributed in this loss Of
life and property, says Guy Elliott
Mitchell in the Review of Reviews.
On the other hand, the man who en-
tinguished an incipient fire may take
just pride in the act.
The way to prevent big fires, as
Chief Forester Graves says, is to put
them out while they are small. If
people are careful not to start fires,
or if in case fires do start there are
enough people available to fight
them, they will gain no Roadway.
The forest service in it's posted no
tice lays down a few simple rules
to keep in mind when in the woods
and particularly requests in case Of
fire that the forest guards be mott
fed. If the fire has not gained too
large Roadway it may be very pos
sible to check and extinguish it, al
ways remembering that fire runs
rapidly up a slope, burns slowly on
the crest and travels down hill yet
more slowly. Many an incipient
fire has been put out by a single
guard or ranger, or an experienced
camper, using his blanket or green
branch for beating the fire or throw
ing on loose earth or sand.

DUTY OF HAPPINESS.

Japan Interfering With Mission
Work i'm Korea

DR.. Arthur J. Brown, of New York,
President of the Presbyterian Board
OF Foreign Missions, has sent to
President Taft charges recently re-
ceived from missionaries in Korea
that Japan is making efforts TO stamp
out Christianity there by torturing
converts, closing mission schools and
interfering with the work of the
American missionaries, OF whom
there are between three and four
hundred in Korea, mostly under the
Boards of Foreign Missions of the
Methodist and Presbyterian Church
es. An account of the situation Civ
en- by a missionary ust returned
from Korea characterizes conditions
there as little short of 5arbarious.
While there have as yet been record
ed no cases of physical attacks on
Americans, they are compelled to en-
dure constant interference with their
work and every possible means are
being employed to nullify their eff
forts and discourage them so that
they will give up in despair and re-
turn to the United States, leaving
Korea to be dealt with by the Japan

Mr.. E. Wheeler Stone, of McDon-

told the Robesonian that he has seen
farmers much farther along with
their work the last of December than
they are now, that there are tenant
less farms galore all over the county
and that labor is so scarce that many
large farmers are going to have to
let much of their land lie idle for
lack of sufficient help. That would
seem to indicate that there is going
to be, perforce, very material re-
duction in cotton acreage in Rcbeson
