WANTS RVERYBODY'S AID
State Warden Asks Cooperation to
Keep Fire Loss Down.

State Forester and Fire Warden f
w. Ferris is seeking the cooperation
+ OF school children, campers and the
public generally, to assist his depart
ment in keeping down the fire loss
during the coming season. Teachers
In all public schools have been asked
to take up, once each week, with the
pupils. the necessity of guarding
against forest fires, and thus protect
ing the state timber that is one of
the main assets Of the public school
system. Mrs. Josephine Preston,
state superintendent of public in
struction, is supporting this move
ment.
During the past year losses have
been kept to the minimum and only
one-fourth of the $4,000 appropria-
ton has been expended. Mr.. Ferris
asks the taxpayers to assist him to
continue this record, pointing out
that the destruction Of timber by fire
necessitates additional tax burdens
on remaining property.

The Way to Get Settlers.
(Big BEND Outlook

If those people who are SO anxious
to tax the state to raise a fund to
get settlers for their lands would use
as much energy in an effort to reduce
the tax levy, there would be no need
of advertising for settlers. They
would come without it. The home
seeker from the East knows all about
our natural resources. He also knows
all about our high taxes, and for that
reason is as shy as range broncho.

The G.. A. r.

The first national gathering of the
Grand Army of the Republic was held
in 1865, and the order, which is now
more than forty-eight years Of age,
now has five thousand G. A. r. posts
throughout the country.
The order reached membership
of 400,4s9 in 1890. Today it has
been reduced by death to less than
10000. The death rate is becoming
higher each year, for the veterans of
the Civil war now have an average
age Of 60 years.

No Argentine Beef Trust.
That the American people are in
clined to be overly suspicious of the
beef trust is indicated by the results
of an investigation by the department
of justice at Washington into the
widely published charges that the
packers have secured control of the
supply of beef imported into the
United States from the Argentine
Republic. The Attorney Generals
agents give a clean bill to the Ameri-

great source of satisfaction to the

The Raising of Babies.


Three hundred thousand babies die
each year in the United States and
the children's bureau at Washington
says that one-half of all these deaths
would not occur eff individuals and
communities applied those measures
of hygiene and sanitation which are
question of the correctness of this
startling estimate, as it has been alb
solutely verified by the government.
Miss Julia c. Lathrop, chief of the
children's bureau, comments that cit
was once thought that high infant
death rate indicated greater degree
of vigor in the survivors," but this
old fashioned fallacy has been ex-
ploded and when the public gives
the same attention to the conditions
surrounding the raising of babies as
has been furnished by the govern
ment to hogs and other animal life,
then this terribly needless loss of
10000 babies each year will be
checked.
Hunting in the Frozen North.

that expression on his face before.
"Milly and he struck up an acQuaint-

Heaven knows he wasn't worthy
30 much as to touch the hem of her
gown. But he was lashy and sporty,
and Milly had seen few men of his
class-she didn't understand. Used to
talk to her for hours about New York
and foreign parts. Then he went
away.
THE young fellow at the lighthouse
was eating his heart out in grief and
bitterness. But he had his charge,
which he couldn't leave, and there
was nothing that he could do. How
ever, after Cray had gone back to New
York, Milly seemed to realize that she
had played with an honest mans
heart. She asked him to forgive her.
He forgave her, and they arranged the
day for the wedding. But there was
always a something between them.
"The minister was to bring the girl
out in his boat, and they were to be
married in the lighthouse. The day
before the wedding a note from Milly
came. She told him that she and
Cray were sailing for Europe together.
