opposite direction at a gentle trot,

To Prevent Forest Fires.

fGolh tue Army anu NdNy journal
Because of the feet that many
forest fires are set through the care
lessness of hunters, campers and
others who go into the woods for
recreation, the United States Forest
Service has taken up with manu-
facturers OF firearms and ammuni-
ton the question OF a cooperative
arrangement through which pur-
chasers and users Of guns and cart
ridges shall be reminded OF the fire
danger. Many forest fires are started
by the carelessness of hunters, who
drop burning matches, cigar or Gig
arctic stumps, or pipe Goals in the
woods, or build fire carelessly.
Forest fires greatly .niure the in
terests OF sportsmen by Tobbing both
birds and big game of Sheir cover and
food supply.
1t is suggested that the manufact-
urers ought to be sufficiently in
terested in the matter Of perpetual
ton of game to be willing to help by
printing some brief fire warning Gu
cartridge boxes or some slip to 90
with any hunting or camping sup
plies Several manufacturers have al
ready expressed their interest in the
matter.

From the New York World.
"There is absolutely nothing wrong
with business" Henry Ford, the great
automobile manufactures, tells the
president. He insists that there is
not even a psychological depression.
But where does Mr.. Ford come
from. and what doe= he know about
Wall Street? He seems to be speak
ing about a country outside of lower
Manhattaa. He evidently has in
MIND a region which is now engaged
in taking over $40, 100000 900 out of
the soil at the rate of many millions
a day; which win have 300, 900 10000
bushels Of wheat to sell to Europe
when Europe needs it; which is de-
veloping q traffic that forces upon
the railroads the need of putting to
use every freight car within their
reach.
Nothing wrong with business2'
What has all this got TO do with
business? What about Wall Street,
which is the sourc9 Of all wealth and
the fountainneaG of all prosperity?
They are no. gambling in Wall
Street as they used 20 do. There are
no more nlllion-share days. Fewer
people are at work o. shoestring
margins, and the resulting unem-
ployment is terrific. 1.-The market
lacks leadership" and no new Ma
poleons of 10 percent margin finance
have as yet appeared. All is going to
the dogs, and calamity strings out Us
