FIRE SITUATION IS GRAVE
IN THE NATIONAL FORESTS

| Denver. Oct. l2.-The district for
ester at local headquarters to-day
announces that the fire situation on
the national forests under his iuris-
diction is unusually series. or the
i25 forests in Colorado and Wyoming.
but nine of the supervisors report
favorable conditions, while the stu
I'ation in the Harvey and Black
Hills forests In South Dakota, and
In the Bridger. Medicine Bow. and
rSundance forests in Wyoming is ex-
ttremely critical.
In general, the district forester
says, the forest service is experience
ling the worst season since the great
fires of 1910. Already more than
1900 fires have been reported on the
national forests, OF which number
1,0OU were in Montana and Idaho,
over 200 in California alone, and
$3.50 in Oregon and Washington. We
fhave been extremely fortunate so
far in our own district. as compared
with the other western states, but at
that We have had our share of fires
Since the opening of the season In
April. we have had a total of pa
fires. OF this number, however. our
fire fighting organization las beer
successful in confining 1S9 to areas
less than 10 acres each. Approx
mately 21.i17 acres of forest land
have been burned over, destroying or
damaging 270.000 feet of timber and
2Gi acres of reproduction.
We are making strenuous ef-
fort to keep the number of fires re-
duced to u minimum, but the I'M
usual lack Of precipitation through
out the eastern Rock Mountain re-
gion since September /. together
with the heavy frosts, is rapidly
drying up the vegetation in the
mountains and making the forests IA
fveritable finder box. | can not urge
too strongly therefore, on the part
of all who enter the forests, the need
of precautionary measures in the
matter of guarding against fires"

accounted to them and 1t is for that
they have lost all their possessions
upon the earth.
From the declaration made by the
Imperial German Chancellor 1t may
be seen that the German Government
is conscious of its wrongdoins AS
one OF the guarantors of Belgium $
neutrality, it wanted to force Bel
GUM TO relinNuish its neutrality for
Germany's benefit. Because Bclgi-
jury. and because Germany could not
reproach her with anything else,
Germany invaded and covered with
blood and ruin small. peaceful
country of hardworkinG and honest
people. Il country which it had prom
ised to protect.
This attack upon her neutrality
is the first violation for which Bel
GUM asks judgment from the uniyer-
sal conscience.
The entire Belgo-German gues-
ton today is dominated by the fact
of this violation of the neutrality OF
Belgium. Therefore. there is not a

THE SMALL sTockHoLDER.

Ihefc are Tour million individual
holders Of corporation securities in the
United States. The average
holding Of securities is less
than % shares. The significance Of
these figures, says The National
Stakeholder, lies in tho fact that the
great corporate enterprises OF the
United states are directed by the small
stakeholder The holder Of ten shares
Of stock is just as much a part of tho
tremendous machine which directs the
activities Of the holder of ten thou
sand shares. It is the cumulative di-
receive power Of the small stakeholder
which keeps the great business of the
country in motion.
The development of the United
states was made possible only through
the distribution Of stocks ard bonds,
among people who had money to in
vest. In no other way could capital be
secured. With this capital railroads
have been built great factories operat-
cd, and the myriad millions OF manu-
features turned out.
% may seem to be the small stock
holder that ne is a very small part in
this great organization. on the con-
trary, he is a very important part, and
each individual stakeholder is doing
his part TO maintain and promote prog
rcss and prosperity We think of the
great amounts of capital invested in
the United States. We do not stop TO
think long enough to resolve that cap
ital into it's units, and to realize that
it is made up of the contributions of
millions of small stockholders.
Is it not a necessary thing that the
men and women who make possible
the gigantic progress of these United
States should have some say in de-
termining whether the progress which
they have made possible, the prosper
ity which they have inspired, shall be
promoted or wrecked?
Unfortunately, heretofore the holders
OF securities have represented merely
individual units, each concerned pri-
marily with the property in which he
is interested. But the fact remains
that all progress and all prosperity is
dependent upon the corporation Of
and individuals.
Nowadays the political factor is an
important one in the industries of the
country Politicians serve their own
ends by making war on industry. They
would not dare make such war if the
four million stockholders of the United
States acted as a unit In demanding
that honesty and sincerity of purpose,
and not political expediency, should
inspire legislative action and legis-
lative tinkering with the laws that af-
feet the industries OF the country.
If politicians keep their ear To the
ground to ind out what union labor !

HUMANE EDUCATION.
Supt Keller Urging School Children
TO Feed the Birds.

70 CtN hHC
The legislature Of 1913 passed a law
providing for humane education in the
schools of the state which will include
kind treatment of domestic and wild
animals and birds. Supt. r. l.. Keeler
believes that practice is better than
precept. He suggests the following
work for schools. The next few weeks
are the hardest Of all the year for the
birds as those that have remained here
for the winter have ny now nearly eX-
hausted their natural food supply Of
wild fruits, weed seeds and insects
Through February and March the
weather conditions are variable and
bowling blizzards. deep snow and sleet
storms may occur. Every bush, tree
and weed may he incased in ice. If the
condition lasts several days some birds
will starve unless food is furnished
them. Every school should have a
feeding place for the birds. \ raw
fresh pork or beef bone with some fat
attached should he nailed to pole on

is the best food for the Chickadees,
nut-hatches, brown creepers, blue jays
and the hairy ana dOwny woodpeckers.

MOLINE TWIRLER
TO join BOSTON
National League Team Signs
George Beck for Coming
Season on Mound.

George Beck, we'll known boy OF
Moline, has, according to a telegram
received, been officially signed up on
the pitching staff of the Boston Ma
tionals for the season of 1914. AL
though George is making quite jump
in going from amateur baseball to the
majors the big league spies heard of
the remarkable ability he was show
ing and sought him out and conse'
quently he will appear in the lineup
of the National squad this season.
The class of twirling put up by
Young Beck during the past season,
as the principal pitcher on the Moline
Tigers staff was little short of phe-
nomenal and it is prophesised by the
local fans that he will put up even a
greater game this season than he did
last, at least they are hoping he will.
While the Tigers will feel great loss
in his departure from the team they
feel proud to think that they were
fortunate enough to have such a man
on their pitching staff-even before
the Boston club got him.
