GUARD ITS FORESTS
PLAN WORKING IN MANY
OTHER COMMONWEALTH
Definite Plan of Protection Demanded
as Prerequisite.

Washington-A cooperative fire
agreement which has been entered into
between the United States department
of agriculture and the state of Michi-
gan provides for an expenditure by
the government of not to exceed $4,000
a year toward meeting the expenses
of forest fire protection m Michigan.
This form of cooperation between
the government and the state is made
possible by a law which congress
passed in 1911, and which has already
been taken advantage of by Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu-
setts, Connecticut, New York, New
Jersey, Maryland, West Virginia,
Kentucky, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Wash
ington and Oregon. The law, besides
providing for the purchase by the gov
ernment of lands on the headwaters
of navigable rivers for the purpose of
creating national forests to protect
these rivers, appropriated 100000
which the secretary of agriculture
might expend to protect similar lands
in state or private ownership from
fire, in cooperation with the states.
1t was provided that the federal ex-
penditures in any state should not ex-
ceed the amount spent by the state
itself.

Many a Loving Mother Will Appre-

Many a strong man and many a

their childhood brought them past the

men and women. Thousands Of
children are generally bothered with
incontinence of urine, and inability to
retain it is oftinmes called habit. 1t
is not always the children's fault-in
many cases the di. Guilty lies with the

The following statement shows how
one mother went about it.
Mrs. Arthur Stratton, 234 w. Chest

Representative James R. Mann of
Chicago, Republican leader in the
house, is being groomed by Republi-
can leaders in Washington for the
presidential nomination in 1916.
Backed by the great influence of the
house Republican organization, Mr..
Mann is put forth as the one candi-
date most likely to stem the Roose-
velt tide. He also is considered an
acceptable compromise candidate for
both the radicals and conservatives of
the Republican party.

SOME MEN WITH GOOD
JOBS CALLED EASY MARKS

The softest proposition of which
ancient or modern history makes
record is the man who kisses a
prosperous business goodby and
hooks up with a $500 office in
the county building. After a
man has held a county office for
two years he will be in just the
frame Of mind to bite off stock in
a proposition to dam the Missisa-
ppi river with a few well-chosen
words. If he refuses to head

floats into the village an out
ragged constituency will meet him

Soft Living And Soft Thinking

Prof. Arland d. Weeks Of the
North Dakota Agricultural col
lege is Internationally close to
truth when he says that a me-
chanistic age is leading the gene
ration into soft mental as well
as soft physical lives. City dwell
lers, particularly, protected
against the intrusion OF any I'M
toward demands on their hands OF
minds, are served by forces OF
which they have as little compre-
hension as would a llottentot
seeing the operation for the FIRST
time.
It's a readily acceptable age
but not a comprehending one. Tn
turn of a button Eliminates a
room and intelligence is salts
fled with knowing how to turn
the button. Folk + not re
quired to think or know. They
merely have to use-telephone
street cars, illuminants, and the
o Of devices that are a
part Of the daily experience but
seldom of the knowledge.
"It never was so easy for a
simpleton to live" says Prof.
Weeks. ''Let us not forget that
an easy environment with few con
ditions of surprise throws the III
dividual down to the lower reac-
lions and swings the beam to-
wards devolution and degen-
eracy."
The average person in good
circumstances is required to do
none of the things which
make his daily comfort, other than
pay the rent. 1t is altogether to
his comfort but measurably to
his misfortune that the conditions
of, his life are soft without his
effort, and it is UNNECESSARILY his
misfortune when freedom from
physical activity has freedom
from mental activity as a conse-
quence.- Minneapolis Journal.

The political pot is not only
.simmering around the edges, but
is beginning to bubble in the
center, says the Dickinson Post
Recorder.
Four political parties will be
represented in the primaries in
june this year, instead Of two as
formerly. Last year for the first
time the Socialist party cast
over five per cent of the total
vote. and the Progressive also cas-
enough to permit them to be
designated as a political party.

there will be a candidate for
Wahpeton Globe-Ga-
Zette.
In years past a politician was
pictured by many people as q
smooth or slippery individual,
who was out for office for the
plumber he could grab. The very
best people and the ones who
would serve the county, state OF
nation in the most efficient man
ner, have been kept out Of poll
tics in many instances, because
they did not want to be branded
as politicians or office seekers.
Very naturally this has given
the slippery oily fellows the adj
vantage in politics and it has
worked out in this county several
times SO that it has not been a
case Of voting for the best man,
but rather q chance of taking
your choice between two evils.
Our grandfathres may have
lived at a time when the office
sought the man, but it is an alto
gether different story now. The
county is full of office seekers wht
push themselves to the front with
out any encouragement and then
resort to any means in order to
get themselves elected. The men
who would make the most eff
cient servants will not lower them
selves to the level these self
nominated candidates in order to
land in some office. If every
man would be a live politician
the year around there would be
fewer office seekers in the coun-
try and more, efficient men in
public office. It is every good
citizens duty to keep posted on
the official acts Of the men in Of
ffice. Watch them, and if you are
absolutely sure that a pluDllc SER
want is not working for the best
interests of the people, let the
people know about it. Ask your
neighbor to investigate the
matter and he will soon find out
whether you are right or not.
Take part in everypublic matter
in your township and county.
Take stand one way or the
other and don't be- bashful about
letting your neighbor know how
you stand. An honest man isn't
afraid to speak up, and when
honest men talk more the crooks
will have less to say in politics.
Be a politician the year around
and make your neighbor be a
politician. Then we will get
more good men in public offices.
