DRAB NEWS.

Nearly everybody has their wheat cut and hauled in the dry.
 We like to read what MT. L. A. Markham has to say about farming and truck growing. We believe every farmer along the P. & N. w. should help MT. Markham as he is working for the good of the farmer and we should work with him. We wish he could spend day with each farmer. They could get some good advice from him in regard to the growing of diff erent crops.
 Miss Alice Hannah is in our comm unity holding prayer services from house to house. Several have been sav- ed and some santified. She is doing a wonderful work here at Drab.
 The meeting will contiue as long as there is lost sheep strayed from the folds of God. Put on the whale armour of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil.
 Sidney Johnson left Monday for the West. We are sorry to see Sidney leave us but knowing him to be a child of God he will be guided safely on. We hope to see him back with us again soon.

The Call of the City

Tired of the old home with father and mother, Tired of the scenes OCT laden with joys: Tired of his sisters and kind hearted brothers, Tired of the farm with it's humble surroundings, Tired of the Work-sweet health giving tO The din of the city in his is resOunding, Tis calling away from God and the soil. Tired of the country his story
 Tired of the dullness and deadness of life; Tired of the fields robed in green glory Tired of the cares, the tolls and the strife. The dazzling city dressed in her splendor With extended, is beckoning, Come; Away from the old folks, lovingly tender Away from his mother away from his home. Up and away to the seducing enchantress, He is caught like fly in the web of her charm; She extends vain hopes to his reckless ambition, Her traitorous kisses laden with harm. She saps from his soul his rural refinement And rustic religion akin to his God And puts in it's stead the citys defiement, To go with his body back to the sod She steals from his life all high aspirations, She steals from him pride, ambition and more: She clothes him with rags and stngs him with munger And puts him at last outside of her door, He goes on the road a wreck of the city, m lies having faint visions of freshly turned sod; The cltys allurements longer enchant him, He's travelling back to mother and God.

A government bulletin recently B-

the wages of his class In Europe.
Well, he possibly and probably earns
four to six times as much for his en-
ployer. Leaving out the relative differ
Ance I'm the market values of farm prod

question of methods Of work. In most
European countries women work In the
fields, and where women work wages
nre low. But the European man labor
er does not work like the American
farmland. In comparison American
farm work Is one continuous hustle
with longer hours and more physical
wear and tear. Supply and demand

the supply Is often cut into by the de

VIEWS OF SECY. HOUSTON
ON NATIONAL FORESTS

GUS Grand Canyon, the Secretary was |
particularly impressed, he said, by the |
necessity of improvements which will |
make the canyon more accessible to |
the public and which are being con- |
structed by the Forest Service on |
these and other forests as rapidly as
funds permit, nearly 5000 miles of
road and 1000 miles of trail having
been built on all of the National Fpr-
ests up to date.
On the Angeles Forest, in southern
California, the Secretary said, he saw
striking illustration Of the import
sheds, which in this locality has con,
tributed to the irrigation development
that in twenty years has transformed
desert into one of the most flourish
ing agricultural sections of the coun-
try. He visited some of the 1,100
towns and cities which derive their do
mestic water supply from National
! Forests and, after crossing the Sierra
Nevada range in an automobile that
was fitted to the railway with special,
flanged wheels, he inspected one of the
largest water.power projects on the
forests, a fourteen-million dollar plant
operated under permit on the Sierra
National Forest. With regard to wat

of Agricutures regulations, the Sec
retary said that he saw no need for
change in the existing system of con-
troll, except for legislation to permit
long-term leasing of water-power sites.
Stock owners in the West, said the
Secretary, are more than satisfied with
the departmental regulations under
which improved range conditions are
brought about along with the grazing
of increasing numbers of livestock, OF
which more than Is million, mainly
sheep, cattle, and horses, now Craze

In tnis age or novelty ana excite
ment 1t was natural that many women
should become tempted to play heroic
roles by nursing soldiers at the front.
The same imagination that inspires
boys to seek the bubble reputation at
the cannOns mouth" induces tenderly
bred women to take chance on rough
ing It under conditions that would re
pei even hardy peasant women. They
think the reward will sweeten the sac
riflces and hardships involved. The
awakening is pitiful I'm both cases.
The recruit and the nurse start with
the highest of motives and believe that
their motives will be appreciated and
rewarded at their own valuation all
along the line. On the contrary. the
soldier must at times submit to treat
ment which he would not Impose upon
a dog, much more a human being.
The same with the nurse. Where q
few have positions Of honor and trust
the many must be "hewers Of wood
and drawers of water" There Is more
necessary sordidness and dirty work
) for all hands in war than In any other
activity known to mankind. The sol.
dier must count upon physical suffer
ing and spiritual humiliation; realize
that his personality. however grand II
, may be at home, does not count In tho
fleld. The same with the nurse. War
demands the obliterauOn Of self. and
that is why individual men and WON
en- at for war are the rare exception
and not the rule. Happy those who
are not called upon to try the expert
. ment

Washington, d. c., June "a - The
frst-hand Impressions and experiences
gained on his thirty-day tour of the
National Forests are described as "in-
valuable" by Secretary of Agriculture
Houston in letter which he has sent
on his return to Washington to the
Chief Forester, expressing his approv-
al of the administrative work and
methods of the Forest Service.
Starting out with the expressed in
tention of seeing the work with his
own eyes and studying on the ground
the principal problems involved in
managing and developing the Forest
resources of the country, Secretary
Houston visited typical Forests in each
of the six great Forest districts of the
West, penetrating into the wilds on
logging locomotives, automobiles,
horseback, and at times on foot, and
getting into personal touch, not only
with the rangers and guards, but with
homesteaders, cattlemen, lumberjacks,
and others among whom the Forest Of
ficers do their work.

myself" says the Secretary in his let.
