Range Improvement VIII In
crease Meat Supply.

From the Forest se-7ica. S De-
partment Of Agriculture.
Salt Lake City, January 16.-
Albert F. Potter, Associate For
ester, u. S, Forest Service, made
an address before the National
Woolgrowers Association here
today and said that the question
Cf meat supply is involved in
the methods of grazing used on
the national forests. He also
made the statement that over
,grazed ranges can be improved
quicker through use than they
could be if they were left idle.
He points out that the forage
resources on the national forests
represents a valuable asset upon
which not only the welfare Of
The stOclSmen depends, but
that of a large proportion of the
people. The task of the gov
eminent has been to work out a.
plan which would develop this
resource and promote its use to
the fullest extent without harm
ing tree growth.
During the first three years
OF administration, from 1905-7,
the problem Of the service was
10 take care of areas which had
been badly overgrazed, and
material reduction had to be
made in the number of stock
grazed before the damage could
be stopped. From the very be-
ginning, the forest service in
vited the cooperation of the
stockmen and consulted with
them regarding the practicability
of the plans which were to be
adopted This cooperation was
secured through the various
stockgrowers association and it
was so successful that similar as
sociations have grown up among
other users of the national for
ests.
Before range control was put
into effect, the feed belonged to
the man who got his stock on the
land first though there was no
way by which he could hold it
except by physical force. I'm
der such a system might made
right, and the only thought was
to get what feed there was while
It lasted This condition led to
serious controversy and out Of it
grew the range wars which often
resulted in loss of life and prop
erty. Under the present con
troll, right prevails, and had
nothing else been accomplished,
Mr.. Potter says, the removal Of

The secret Of having good buildings that will last,

 What Julia Wainwright Says.
 Reports of the National Child Lab, r Committee show that the states which are most progressive in enacting and enforcing child labor legislation als not woman suffrage states, but New York and Massachusetts. There are nine states which have prohibition on'y one of them, Kansas, is suffrage state, Kansas had prohibition long before it had suffrage. A prominent suffragist in Wisconsin offered last year, as an inducement to the brewers to vote for woman suffrage, the argument that 1t would mean better business for them, since all the suffrage states were wet. The only states which have laws prohibiting night work for women are are Massachusetts, Nebraska and In- diana, all male suffrage states.
 Laws insuring the woman operative one days rest in seven are lacking in three of the four oldest woman suffrage states Colorado, Idaho and Wyoming) and were passed in Utah only after they had been passed in Massa chusetts. Michigan and Missouri, all male suffrage states.
 Legislation protecting the working woman has not been enacted in a woman suffrage state until after it's enactment in male suffrage state.

Poorly Paid Police.

The Paris police are poorly paid. The maximum salary attainable by ''ser- gent de vile" is $36O year. In view of the high cost of living in Paris this amount is inadequate to maintain Il family in any degree of comfort. and the married members of the force have frequently to supplement their income as best they can. Some of them earn a few francs by working as market porters during their time off duty. Others do boot repairing. and there is one who does odd tailoring jobs. Still. in spite of these hardships, there are always plenty of men eager to join the force. about ten candidates being avail able for every vacancy that occurs.

Illusions.

A rude shock greets the idea that the testimony of eyewitnesses is especial ly reliable when one comes to study the laws of evidence. The majority of persons see what they think they ought to see. If house is reported haunted it Is easier to see ghost there than not. Possibly this accounts for the widespread belief that lumi- nous appearances of one kind or an other accompany earthquake shocks. Scientific men do not believe these stories. and they usually dwindle on investigation. yet they continue to cir culate on both sides of the Atlantic, says a writer in Cosmos, Paris, trans lated for the Literary Digest

Memory.

Dear as remembered kisses after death.
 All our sensations are memory. some say. It may be. It may not be. But this we know: The perfume that is the finest is the perfume of reminiscence. It may be a vagrant fragrance from the woods or in the city's air. The song neglected, but remembered, is the most appealing. The taste acquired in childhood is that that tickles most our older palate. A friend Is a com posite of our memories. Sometimes that part of us that is the bud and leaf seems the whole tree. But we would die without the roots. Memory is the roots aud sap of us.-Kansas City Star
