THE FOREST FIRES OF
SPRING

The month Of Spring, before green vege-
tation becomes heavy enough to obliter-
ate dead leaves, is a time favorable to forest
fire. Such losses have been very frequent
this year, although many sections had
heavy rains up to few weeks ago.
Where woodlands are situated anywhere
near cities or large towns, this property
becomes more and more precarious. A
host of strollers escape for Sunday from
crowded towns to breathe the air of Gods
country. Automobiles make fore=t lands
within so miles of city general picnic
ground. Many is the jolly party camp
on the pine needles of the sylvan roadside,
far from mans occupation.
These excursions are usually innocent.
Yet they imbibe many things other than
country air. They frequently regard the
woods as general waste basket, for every
thing from fruit skins to matches and
cigar ends.
The railroad companies have suffered SO
heavily from suits for forest fires that they
are taking pains nowadays to protect the
land next their tracks. Today the great
est cause from forest fires is from pic
mic parties, hunters, and strollers.
The growing of timber ought. to be very
stable industry. Frequent fires place it in
category Of hazardous industrial invest
ment. This does not encourage people to
own lands. 1t deters them from apply
ing scientific methods to the timber crop.
1t has also helped deplete the national
supply of building material 1t has been
one reason why lumber prices have gone up.
Thus it hits not merely well wooded sec
tions, but localities that have to import
lumber.

INTELLIGENT ATTENTION

Among the wide range of reasons why
it is better to buy goods from the home
merchant is this, that you get more in
tellgent attention.
The essential trouble with the big store
in the larger city is that its business is too
spread out for good detail work. The
army of clerks becomes machine. You
are strangers to the entire force. Your
face may never been be seen by them
again. They do not fear your disSatisfac-
ton, or covet your approval, unless the
former Is acute enough to enlist the wrath
OF the floor walker. You are simply one
grain in the grist to be ground through the
hopper.
The shopgirl in the large city may wait
on you faithfully enough as the standard of
service goes for her type. But she is not
ordinarily intelligent about the goods she
is selling She is kind of automatic
machine for swapping goods and change

stiIIwell's Class, Numbering Fifteen,
Enjoy the Pleasure of
Long Country Walk.

The class of ]. Fred Stillwell Of the
Trinity Methodist Episcopal church
enjoyed most enjoyable hike yester-
day. Under the leadership of their
teacher they left Keokuk at 7:15
o'clock and walked to the Des Moines
river bridge where stop was made.
There the party enjoyed picnic
lunch and most enjoyable game OF
baseball in which all the players en-
tered into the game with much inter
est and energy.
Starting on the second hike they
made a wide circle, arriving at Keo-
kuk at $3.50 o'clock in the evening.
There were fifteen boys in the party
and though the length of the hike
measured considerably over six miles,
the boys will be fully rested and
ready for another and even longer
hike in surprisingly short time.
Hikes are becoming very popular
Ipastime. While a long hike is about
as tiresome as hard work. 1t Is far
more popular. And the boys are al
ways ready for a hike with strenl-
Gus game of baseball on the way and
enjoy 1t probably with greater
relish than almost any other kind OF
sport.
