I counties where there Is still forest land
are being organized into senior ant
junior divisions to learn fire proven
ton, fire projection and fire fighting
The work is to be made attractive a.
well as instructive.
This is a very clever plan. Ii is be
! ginning a: the right age for the FLU
lures greatest benefit. II will hav,
much cf the good effect of the boy
scout movement and much in addition
that will be of direct benefit both tc
the boys and to the state.
1t will arouse In the boys a direc,
interest in forestry. making an incen-
tive for them to 20 on with this study
and engage in this as a vocation. II
will increase powers of observation,
teach both self-reliance and helpful
ness and the practical principles of
woodcraft.
But beyond all this. when these boys
grow TO manhood. fires will not result
from their carelessness. When in The
woods they viii have learned TO ex-
tinguish their own camp fires and
those OF others which they find
smoulderlns.
They will have learned to build fires
in safe places and safe manner.
They viii form a valuable reserve OF
fire fighters, and in their own homes.
when they get them, will apply fire
prevention principles as a matter of
habit.
Northern Minnesota should fOnow
this good example set by northern
Michigan. It's boys should be similar.

near the forest country which includes
that most dangerous class, the young
second and mixed growth.
Boys naturally love the woods ant
all that concerns woodcraft. DeveloI
this liking along useful lines; make !
of practical value; reap the benefit
for the state and train a future greai
force of fire fighters, and a body
young men who viii put i'm practice as
habit the wisdom and caution i'm which
they have been drilled in boyhood.-

THE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY.

The primary is the one way to as

electing Of president a fair chance
to nominate the candidate for whom
they are willing TO vote. 1t is puer-
lie folly nowadays, when the people
are awake TO a realization of their
rights and their power. TO assume
that they will be contented with any
nomination handed down to them by
the machine and the bosses. That
sort of thing was taken once upon a
time as a matter of course. The MEM

conception OF the possibility of max
ing their own nomination, accepted
the deus ex machlna that was ground
out for them, and voted for him blind
folded.
They are not doing il any more.
The political party or faction that
refuses to recognize this change i'm the
popular attitude is storing up wrath
against the day Of wrath. The peo-
pie must be consulted: more. they
must DO given their way. II they are

BUSINESS CONDITIONS.

Business would be better were it no,
for political hindrances, yet i'm spite of
these the volume of business is not
falling much behind. says Henry
Clews. The chief injury comes from
an almost complete arrest of new en-
terprises and consequent shrinkagc
IN the demand for labor In some Sec
tons Of the country the injurious ef-
tects Of short crops are being felt. ana

tions as promptly as usual. These

drawbacks. however, are local and
confined mainly to districts tributary
to the Missouri River, where the har-
vest was least satisfactory. Advices
from the interior show that business
conditions are exceptionally sound ow-
ing TO the conservative policy which
has prevailed for over a year. The
land speculation which at one time
appeared so threatening has been
sharply curtailed. and liquidation has
been made easy by the profitable
prices generally obtained for farm
products. For this reason there is
much less anxiety than usual concern
ing the annual settlements made about
March | and April 1. 1t is now be-
lieved that these obligations will be
met withous difficulty. except in a
few isolated spots. Advices concern
ing the crop situation are very en-
couraging. owing to the heavy preci-
pitation of rain or snow during the
winter the subsoil has had a thorough
soaking and all the conditions are fav-
orable for a good start. This appears
to be true in nearly all sections of the
country. The Importance of good har-
vests in 1912 cannot be over estimated,
since large yields would do much to-
ward lowering the cost of food and
thus alleviating popular discomfort.

 FOR HEALTH
School Trustees Will Re quire All Teachers and Pupils to Be Examined; Arrangements for Adding Kindergartens

Pursuant to a policy of exceptional precaution, due to various things but in large part doubtless to the recent scare concerning infantile paralysis, the school board of this district has decided that eTery teacher and every pupil must have a physical examina- tion before they can attend school. Ar engagements have been made whereby this may be taken privately, or if neglected must be publicly submitted to at the opening of school. The facts of this arrangement as well as other important matters, especially pertain ing to the inauguration of kindergar- ten schools, are set forth in the fol- lowing order issued yesterday:
 Notice to Parents.
 The Board of Trustees of the public schools of Phoenix has arranged with the school physician to be at the of flee in Central school building each morning from to 10 o'clock from Sep tember 1st to 1Gth for the purpose of examining the teachers and all pupils who desire a private examination.
