FIRES TO
 BE REPORTED BY
 R. F. D. CARRIERS

The official Postal Guide for May calls
 the attention of postmasters and ru-
 raI carriers to an order of the post once department that carriers report 10 the proper authorities all forest fires detected along their routes. This order was issued at the request of the secretary of agriculture.
 For several years in some sections Of the country a sort of informal un- derstand4ng had existed between na- tional forest rangers and mail car r1ers with the idea of securing in creased fire protection. The marked effectiveness of this 'co-operation was a strong argument in favor of it's ex- tension and official sanction, and was in part responsible for the request of the secretary of agriculture which re- suited in the order by the post office department.
 The plan is for the carrier to re- port a fire to the nearest forest officer on his route, or, if no officer lives on the route, to have him notified by national foresters are supplied with post road maps and with postal guides containing the addresses of the different postmaeters. The postnas- ters in turn are supplied by the for esters with the names, addresses, and telephone call numbers of forest off, cers residing on or near the carriers routes.
 operation between rural carriers and federal forest officers will take place in Florida, Arkansas, South Da- kota, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mex ico, Arizona, Utah, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and California Co-opera ton with state officers is given in all the New England states, and in New York, New Jersey. Penn sy1vania, Maryland, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Michigan, Wis consin, Minnesota, Idaho, Washing ton, Oregon, and California, all of these states having established fire protective systems

A MATTER OF BYEsnGlHF

A medicine man in Yucatan, Y Declared he never ate, And a, scamp who heard, Impugned his word, Asserting the statement was absurd And otherwise challenged Fate. With wrath and indignation At the slur upon his station, The other quick denounced the slan-

 case. When the doubter was arrested, His relatives protested,
 Declaring they had seen the other

 at his lunch ''In Timbuctoo there's a chieftain who Has never seen me eat; In the Isle of Whing there's a. cannf- bal King Prepared to swear to the self-saane thing, Which will make my case complete. There are witnesses by dozens, Including fourteen cousins,
 Who were born and raised on Indi's

CONVERSATION IN PUBLIC PLACE
Bv RuthN

It is really remarkable how thought less some people are about the sub jects of their conversation when in public places. Sometimes they will talk of their most intimate affairs in the trolley car or the theatre. If they would modu1ate their voices it would not be quite so bad, but usually they talk so loud that you can not help but hear and accordingly are burdened with the joys, the sorrows mad all the petty talk of these unknown ones Sometimes the opinions which you form of such people are exceedingly interesting
 r. One evening, not long ago. a couple sat in back of us at the theatre who, between the acts, persisted in talking about everything in such loud tones that, unless one really stuffed ones fingers: in their ears. 1t was 1mpossi- ble to avoid hearing what they had to say.
 I don't mean that they were deaf of course, but that they simply seemed unconscious that anyone might hear them.
 There is no doubt that their conver- sation was interesting, quite anus ing in fact, but the opinion that we formed of them was, I am afraid, far from complimentary. Perhaps we jud- ged wrongly and they were not at all the kind of people We thought them.
 ThereN is the danger. The person with whom yon are talking usually knows and understands you and in- terprets your words accordingly. The one who overhears your conversation does not know you-and so often takes al meaning entirely different from what you intended to convey.
 Oftentines he hears but fragments of what you are talking about and the mind unconsciously pieces in the mis- sing parts. Perhaps if you could but read these fragmentary thoughts which are in the miuds Of your un> known hearers you would be greatly shocked
 At any rate one can't be too careful about the subjects of their conversa- ton when in public.

LONDON COMMENDS
 "NO DRUNKARD" PLAN
Proposed Law Will Be Discussed Mon
 day Evening at Y. M. c. A..

Jack London, author of "John Bar leycorn. the story which gained such wide reading recently in the Saturday Evening Post, has commended by let ter the t'No Drunkard'' plan of solv- ing the liquor problem as promoted by the National Defense association of which there is a branch in this city. The idea is comparatively new but there are organizations in Connectt- cut, Georgia, Florida, California, Wis consin and New York. Jack Lon don says:
 First of all let me say all of the very best kinds of words I can say concerning the mo drunkard'' plan. Personally, and intellectually, I should like to see the sale of alcoholic liquors stopped absolutely. On the other hand, I know how hard it is to move the whole human herd in any given right direction; and the best compromise plan I have seen, so far as John Bar leycorn is concerned is this ''no drunk ard'' plan law, a copy of which I have read.''
 The ''No Drunkard'' plan is to be presented and discussed in open debate in the rooms of the r. M c. A. to- night, at 8 o'clock. Men and women are cordially invited to attend as the meeting is an open one. Supt. Fred Johnson of the charities department of the city will preside.

FEMININE BEAUTY.

Ry Ruth.)
 Some girls and women have a. most anusingly exaggerated idea of their own eomeliness They are always ing favors just because by some work ing Of mature they happened to be turned out more pleasing to the eve than the majority of women.
 Usually those who have few. if any, claims to beauty, who arc silly enough to listen to the tongues of fatters are the most conceited about their good looks.''
 That ''it is a woman's duty to look her best is a well known and truthful saying but I hardly see how it inn plies that women should spend small fortunes trying to improve what often is beyond improvement.
 It is mere vanity which leads some women so far in this direction. They are seeking beauty-the advocation and complements of a lot of hatterers
 They forget that the only true beau ty is that of the mind and the char acter; that ''the face is the index to the mind'; and that in filling their heads with frivolous thoughts and starting on wild goose chase'' after beauty they are losing whatever chances they may have had for even tuaI1y securing that very elusive thing.
 It always amuses me to see the fuss some girls make when they are told they are pretty. It seems as though they can't thank the one who says it enough. Of course if they have at tained their comeliness by their own hard work it is right that they should feel as proud of it as of some pretty dress which they, themselves, made If, however, they just happened to be pretty and really had no more to do with it than the rose or violet has to do with it's beauty, I can't see how they can feel responsible for it andI go out of the way to thank people who mention the fact that they are pleasing to the eye.
 There is another thing, too, every one has their own standard of beauty which in two persons may differ as does night from day.Quite often one person will call a girl pretty and per haps the next simply can't under derstant how anyone would even con sider her good looking
 It is a privilege for a girl to be good To, lxfng-.one which she should not abuse-one for which she should not take too much credit to herself-one which she should improve by putting her money into books instead of into face lotions.

 In this way thousands of employees of Colorado sugar mills have been ''in- fluenced" to write to their Senators and Congressmen, urging them to vote against free sugar. Senator Thomas charged that a similar campaign was carried on among the sugar beet grow CTS and with banks and commercial associations, all of whom have been adding their letters to the flood now pouring in upon the Colorado legisla- tors.
 These companies have made an enormous amount of money. not only upon their capitalization, but upon their r-capitaHzation,'' declared Senator Thomas Two of them oper- ating in Colorado represent collective ly a capital of $50, 100000, $3O.O00, ,000 of which is water, pure and simple. Yet they have paid dividends constantly upon their preferred. stock, and for 8 large part of the time on their wa tered stock, and one of them has a sur plus in the treasury in excess of $10.- 0O0 900.
 This fight merely means that these hugely over r-capitalized industries want to retain their franchise to rob the people by taxing the necessaries of life to the end that they may pay profits upon the capital that they have invested, and upon the capital they have manufactured with printing presses and fountain pens."
 Senator Thomas's ringing challenge to the sort of public opinion these bloated corporations have manufactur- ed deserves to be read in the public schools as an example of the new, rugged patriotism which now has con- trol of Congress. He sa,id:<
 MT. President, while I have the most profound respect for petitions sent to myself while I am a member Of the Senate, want to say here and now, and think I speak for my col league (Mr. Shafroth) well my self, that I was sent here by the people of the State, by the producers and by the consumers. by men and women who are not organized, who no great fund to go out through the highways and byways Of the State, seeking and obtaining favorable action in their behalf by the great banks and associations.
 s'T.hey are the toilers and the tax payers, the common people, as MT. Lincoln called them: It is their in terest and their welfare, their wants and their desires that I propose to rep resent and promote in the Senate of the United States to the best of my ability. They look to us for relief, and we shall not disappoint them

UNUSUALTROUT
 TO BE PRESERVED


 Washington, June 2-Oficials of the federal bureau of fisheries are await ing with interest the arrival of a trout taken by Indians in Iceberg Lake, in Glacier National Park, Mont, which never has been known to exist outside the icy waters of the polar, sea. Geo. Iogists believe that subteranean chan neIs may connect the frozen waters of the far north with the lakes of northern United States and they like wise are awaiting the verdict of the fish experts who will determine wheth- CT the trout belong to the Arctic dnny family.
 While there are several divisions of the trout family in Iceberg Lake and adjacent stretches of water the spe- cfes that has raised the conjecture is the first of it's kind known to have been taken outside of Behring Sea It is reported to be a, splendid specimen, some two feet in length and it has been preserved for the benefit of the naturalists.

Main street pedestrians Saturday af- ternoon and night were reminded Of the industrial troubles of Paterson, N d., where a prolonged silk strike is in prcgrese, by the appearance on that thoroughfare of two of the strikers so- liciting funds from passers-byr for the relief of their associates. One of the men had a hand organ and ground out popular music by the mile while the ot1 CT circulated amongst the crowd with a receptable for the coin Of the realm. Dimes, quarters and even full sized iron men, seemed to come his way quite plentifuily A goodIy sum was realized and sent to Paterson last night. The men will continue their work in other nearby cities, ard ex- pressed the hope that they would be as fortunate as here. It does a lot of good at home they say.
