Importance of reforesting such parts
Of the national domain as have been
denuded of their forest growth.
One Of the most serious problems
connected with the reforestation of
treeless areas within the national for
ests is the protection of newly plant
ed seeds from the attacks of mice,
chipmunk, ground squirrels, and other
rodents, whose depredations collective
ly continue the year through. The
extent of this damage may be under
stood by the results of reforesting
experiment in the Black hills by the
forest service, in which from 30 to 70
per cent of the seed was destroyed by
chipmunks and mice within six days
after planting In order to get an
idea Of the abundance of these ro-
dents, exhaustive trapping on a half
acre contained 1000 seed spots was
undertaken. We secured three chip
hunks and II white-footed mice, which
in three days had pilfered 70 per cent.

BLUE JACKET. MARINE
Words Not Synonymous But FIRE.
quently Used So.

Since the beginning of the trouble
with Mexico, the question has been
asked most every day, What is the
jackets? Many people hold that
there is no difference. Below is the
opinion of one, who has sailed the
ocean blue, and also when it was of
other Colors, and he says:
"Bluejackets are sailors, marines
are not. Remember that! The two
words commonly held as synonymous
by the lay mind, mean radically diff
ferent types of fighting men. To call
a bluejaCket marine is as wrong as
calling a sailor a soldier, or a boil
ermaker a blacksmith. Sometimes
both do the same kind of work with
the same tools; but they follow diff
ferent trades.
Aboard ships there is little love
lost between bluejackets and mar
ines. Each looks down upon the 9TH
er as being of a lower social grade
Each never loses an opportunity of
belittling the other. To a bluejacket
a marine is a 'leatherneck,' to a mar
inc a bluejacket is a 'fiatfoot. Both
recent the sobriquet the other has
given them and sometimes it is TAX
en- as an insult. So be careful in your
address when you meet one of either
service.
The feeling between marines and
bluejackets is as old as history. In
former days bluejackets were general
ly pretty tough lot. If they weren't
fighting an enemy they might turn
and fight their own officers. So some
sort of a guard was needed. The
marines were the guard. Also, the
marines in those days were the main
fighting men of the ship, and blue
jackets merely attended to the duties
of seamen. Nowadays a bluejacket
does the main part of ship fighting.
Marines man only small guns. Form
erly the marines were police officers
of ship and that did not make them
more popular with the bluejackets.
"Bluejackets in this day perform
all the duties connected with the nav
igation of the ship and also the hand
ling of the guns. In addition to being
sailors, they must be competent artil-
lery men, artisans and know the rud-
iments of infantry drill.
Marines have nothing to do with
ship navigation. They are soldiers
carried aboard ship for just such pur-
poses as the capture of Vera Cruz.
They give a naval commander a pro-
fessional landing force to enforce his
nations demands. Buejackets are
quite frequently landed with marines
and do the same work marine has
to do in such circumstances. Marines
are highly trained as infantry soldiers
and also light and heavy artillerymen.
They are the most versatile soldiers
in Uncle Sans employ. They are
proficient in landing on
hostile shores, breaking up street RI
OTIS and skirmish warfare"

COUNTRY CLUB OPENING
Season Is Started In a Most Enjoy
able Occasion.

Despite the proverbial unpleasant
weather for such occasions, the an
.nual opening of the Oskaloosa COun-
try Club was a great success. Besides
we needed the rain and that helped
some. The moisture, however, in
terfered only with the golf scores,
which were not as good as they might
have been had the grounds been less
heavy.
The club supper was served on the
Cafeteria plan, and the innovation
was surely enjoyed by everybody
About 100 people were served. Mrs.
Swick, the matrOn, surely made ev-
erything appetizing. The ladies in
charge of the occasion also deserve
great credit for the success of every
part of the program.
Following supper, order WAS called
by the Club President G. w. ShoCkley,
and little program was given. Miss
lone Smith favored the assembly with
a piano solo, Mr.. and Mrs. Roy KEN
BILE with a vocal duet and Mrs. Il. l..
Butler with a recitation. Each was
so good that the participants were
forced to respond to two enCores, and
while the program was wholly inform
al it was most enjoyable.
The scores in golf contest were
not record breakers, owing to the con-
dition of the grounds, but they were
good Golf ball prizes were awarded
to w. d. Cole for the low score, to
II. S. Rosecrans for the handicap, and
to Seth Thomas for the Blind DOGGY.
The scores were as follows:

MAHASKA IS THE FIRST
Leads Other Counties in Womaus'
Suffrage Organizations.

Mahaska county enjoys the distinc,
ton of being the first in Iowa to be
organized under the state woman's
suffrage association. This is the re,
suit of the visit to Oskaloosa of Miss
Flora Dunlap, president of the Equal
Suffrage association of Iowa, woman
member and vice president of the
school board of Des Moines, and over
seer of the Road Settlement of Des
Moines.
A large and representative audience
of Oskaloosa women and men met
with Miss Dunlap at the court house
in the afternoon. James A. Dewitt
State Senator John +. Ream made an
address in explanation of the suffrage
movement in Iowa and his position
on the state resolution adopted at the
last state assembly.
Miss Dunlap was introduced by Mr..
Dewitt. She made an excellent pre-
sentation of the suffrage movement
and set forth the needs for the same
among other things that there are
eight million women wage earners in
the land who had no voice in making
the laws under which they work.
Under the direction of the Suffrage
association of Iowa careful and
complete canvass of the state is to be
made and for this purpose each sena-
torial district is to be thoroughly or
ganized and the work of the canvass
is to be taken up and carried through
by the women workers.
Mrs. James A. Dewitt has been ap-
pointed president of the Mahaska
county senatorial district and she will
at once proceed with the organization
of the townships appointing chair
man for each township or voting pre-
cinct of the county, following WHICH
a meeting will be called to complete
the organization of the county. This
meeting will be called possibly about

War, in any event, is youth. It is

makes itself mechanical and techni-
