Conservation is one of the leading
questions of the present day. Far
seeing men have pointed out the fact
that our forests and minerals are rap
idly diminishing and if conditions are
not soon changed, we shall soon have
to turn to other fields for our raw
materials.
The purpose of this short article is
to point out ways by which we might
apply conservation in our school.
Lead pencils should be saved. They
are now used to a great extent to dull

POET.SCOUT CRAWFORD
MAKES PATRIOTIC PLEA

Capt. Jack Crawford, known by
thousands in the southwest where he
fought Indians, that progress and civil
lization might secure a foothold here,
has taken exception to the sentiment
carried by a new song entitled, 81
Didn't Raise My Boy to Be Soldier"
The captain wrote the following to the
New York World, concerning this
song which, it seems, was attracting
some attention:
81 see that you give considerable
space to the author of the song, 81
Didn't Raise My Boy 70 Be Soldier"
and | trust you will give a veteran Of
several wars half the space to say
that in my estimation there is not a
single patriotic thought in the song
1t is an insult to every patriotic
mother and it was because felt this
strongly that | wrote an answer to it
and gave it to my comrades of the
Grand Army and thousand patriots
in O. scene in "The Battle-Cry of
Peace" when was introduced by Ad-
miral Sigsbee. | have right to ex-
press such sentiments because of my
service to my adopted country, for |
was barefooted boy in a foreign
land on the day my Scotch-Irish daddy
enlisted when Abraham Lincoln called
for $4,000 men. / left the old coun-
try on the same day and picked slate
in the coal mines to help my patriotic
mother keep the pot boiling to ill six
mouths, and when my father came
home wounded, mother nursed him
and sent him back to the firing-line.
Before | was sixteen, | enlisted,
fought beside my daddy and as | say
in my song
And his daddy fought beside
My dear mothers boy and died,
My mother raised a real American.
Twice | was wounded before ] was
seventeen, and my father was twice
wounded and died from the effects Of
his last wound at the Battle of Cold
Harbor. Since then have boen n
| scout and chief of scouts on the from
tier and was twice wounded in actual
Indian war service, and because Com
modore Blackton has made me the
chief of scouts in his great play "The
Battle-Cry of Peace" | am the proud
est Broncho who ever wore buckskin.
"The Battle-Cry of Peace" is a s)o-
gan Of patriotism. 1t is new birth
of new nation, battle-cry for God
and home and country. Peace at any
price is the slogan of the fools and
towards. Every patriot and every
soldier loves peace, as did Washing
ton, Lincoln, Grant and Lee, and it
took Grant and Lee, the great war
riors, to make peace at Appomatox,
and when Grant said, Let us have
peace" the great Robert E. Lee, his
former comrade, said "Amen."

westward. From Meade they
will walk south westward, pass
ing through New Mexico ant
Arizona, and into the state o
California. During their stay ii
Meade they camp at the coun
try club. They are pleasan
party to meet and soon won tn

the early settlers to know tina

Sham Funeral

Charleston, w. Va. June s.
Varied and ingenious have beer
the expedients adopted to irri
cato arid .tbroats since this Stat,
went dry last July, but the mos
startling was one revealed today
when promoters Of a fake funera
came TO grief.
A hearse, hack and casket
were used in the plot. Waiting
at a local railroad station were
the two vehicles, the hack con.
taining three mournful-faced
men. From a passenger train
stepped yelled woman garbed
in deep black. At the same time
a child's casket was removed
from the baggage car.
AS the woman walked toward
the waiting hack to join the three
men, the crowd gazed at her in
compassion and there was a
murmur of sympathy as station
employees started to carry the
little casket toward the hearse.
Just as the white receptacle
containing the remains" was
being lifted to be deposited in
the hearse the bottom dropped
out. To the astonishmento of the
onlookers quart, pint and half
pint bottles fell with a smash to
the sidewalk.
The black gowned woman gave
vent to her feelings by utterIng
a word descriptive of a region
supposed to be even drier than
West Virginia. The entire
funNal party was arrested.
The plan was to actually to
bury "the child" IN a grave that
already had been dug and then
to go to the cemetery at night
and disinter the body"
