SIXTY.NINE CARNEGIE
MEDALS AWARDED FOR
PAST YEARS HEROISM

Pittsburgh, Pa, Oct. 30-Ohio has a
fine record as a mother of heroes, as
well rs presidents, according to the
awards Of medals made by the Carne-
gle Hero Fund Commission here to-
day. In all 60 acts of heroism are rec
cgnized; 10 to the credit of Ohio men
and hoys. This is more than twice as
many as appear for any other state,
Michigan having nine, and the others
scattered among 10 states.
March % and 20, 1918, were the great
hero-making days, 81 of the heroic
acts in the list given out today hav-
ing been recalled from those days OF
food along the Ohio and it's tributa-
ries.
In all, Is silver medals and "a bronze
medals are awarded. Thirteen of the
heroes lost their lives, and to the de-
pencents OF 10 of these pensions or
sums of money to be applied subject
to the discretion Of the Commission,
are granted. In fifty cases sums aggre-
eating over $4,000 are appropriated
for education, purchase Of homes, or
other worthy purposes that may be
approved by the Commission.
Accidents in the water called forth
by far the largest number of heroic
acts,-51 in all; and students figure
most prominently in the rescue work,
but the occupations given in the lists
show there are heroes in every walk
of life, from clergymen TO laborers.
There are six heroines: Margaret
Guy, aged is, of South Boston, Mass,
who saved a lad three years her sem
ior from drowning; Mary Allen of Big

from drowning in Rose Lake, Leroy,

There are altogether too many
pessimists in this country who

some people the feeling that
prosperity would not return for
a long time. AS a matter of fact
the wars big cost Will fall on
Europe and as soon as the final
treaties of peace are signed the
commercial and financial ascen-
dency of the United States Is
bound to begin-then we will
have to get busy and figure out
ways and means to fill orders

we will have no time to lament
over anything.

nance, but 1t is now well in hand
and will entirely stop as soon as
peace is in sight - and that
should be soon.
This war has given the United
States a greater opportunity to
increase its foreign trade than
any other country has ever had.
German foreign commerce is
practically stopped and the COM
merce of other European nations
at war Is very severely affected.
A large part of this trade will
surely come to US if we are prop

rine which this country has not
had since the Civil war. With the
establishment of a merchant
marine the commerce of the
United States will again be
transported to all parts of the
world in American bottoms, and
we will become the greatest fl
nancial power in the world. We
believe some new records for big
business are not far ahead for
the entire United States of
America. Let US supply Americas
needs. This alone will make business
improve greatly.

Prof. of Forestry Briscoe's Report.

The annual report of John NJ.
Briscoe, professor of forestry at the
University of Maine, to Forest Com
missioner Blaine S. Viles has been
made. 1t states that the greatest
advance has been made in this de-
partment since it was established in
1908, the number of new students
taking the four years forestry course
being: Year 1923, %; year 1894,
10. The total now taking the course
is 80. beside "a agricultural students
taking an elective course in general
forestry.
An instructor in forestry has been
added to the teaching faculty. New
courses have been added to the cur
strengthened. Extensive lectures are
given at Normal schools, Oranges.
public schools and clubs. A summer
school camp has been established as
well as State forestry nursery.
Four graduates each in 1913 and 1914
were awarded the degree of Bachelor
of Science in Forestry.
1t is suggested that next year
means be provided for reorganizing
the Maine Forestry Association,
which should include all who are ac-
lively engaged in numbering and wood
manufactures OF all kinds, as we'll as
owners of timber land and others
whose interest is chiefly from the more
general standpoint of economies or
aesthetics.
The department is facing a deficit,
owing to the increased work of the
year. The $1,000 increase by this
Legislature is not sufficient to pay the
necessary running expense at the pres
ent time. Unless special appro-
priation is made for the further
maintenance of the nursery an in
creased cost of some $500 for labor
and supplies per annum will be en-
tailed.
The general interest in forestry
throughout the State is increasing.

area is either forest or waste land;
