A BOOSTER ROOSTER

DO you know there's lot o people
Settin' round in every town
Growlin like broody chicken,
knockin' every good thing down?
Don't you be that kind o cattle
Cause they amt no use on earth
You just be a booster rooster,
Crow and boost for all your worth
If your town needs boostin boost er,
Don't hold back and wait to see
If some other fellers wilin.
Sail right in, this country's free;
No ones got mortgage on it,
It's yours just as much as his,
If your town is shy on boosters,
You get in the boostn' biz.
II things don't just seem to suit you,
An the world seems kinder wrong,
What's a matter with boostin
Just to help the thing along
Cause if things should stop aeon',
We'd be in sorry plight.
You just keep that horn BLOWN,
Boost 'er up with all your might.
If you know some feller's failins,
Just forget EN- cause you know
That same feler's got some good points
Thems the ones you want to show;
Cast your loaves out on the waters,
The'll come backs saying true,
Mebbe they will come back "buttered'
When some feler boosts for you.

State Should Own All Public Lands

During the past several ses.
sions of Congress have observed
that a large mum Der of measures
have been introduced by both
Senator's and Representatives OF
public land" states, having for
their object the securing of a
more liberal policy ON the part of
the Federal Government as to
the passing TO private ownership
of the public domain.
The sentiment in this state is
heartily in favor of such legisla
tion, and | have no doubt that
liberal policy on the part of the
Government in the administra.
tion OF the unreserved and pnap-
propriated public lands within
your state would meet with the
hearty approval of your citizens.
am not familiar with the pub
lie land conditions in your state,
except in 80 far as information
that can be gathered from Gov
eminent reports, but from "a per.
iOd of seven years observation
from the position of land com.
missioner of this state, and
being brought in daily contact
with the Government policy,
am free 10 say that | favor any
Legislation that will have tie
tendency TO liberalize our public
land laws, which have been grow
ing steadily more restricted. In
fact, to be perfectly frank, l am
of the opinion that all unreserved
and unappropriated lands should
be granted the respective states
having same within their bor-
ders.
Knowing the views of our Rep
resentatiYes in COngrass and the
sentiment OF our people, and
Judging from the efforts of Rep
resentatives in Congress of pub
| lie land states to secure
Legislation of this kind, | believe
it would be wise course to Sc.
cure concerted action, and | am
writing you to ascertain your
views as To the desirability of
holding, some time during the
year, "A convention To be cOmpos.
ed of the Senators and Repre-.
sentatives, Governors and Com.
missiOners of public land states,
and at such a convention views
could be exchanged, conditions in
the different states become com
mon knowledge, and If thought
wise, general legislation of a
character be decided upon add
recommended, and a course of
action mapped out by which we
could render our representatives
assistance that would enable
them 10 secure results.
| am at this time, taking the
matter up only in a preliminary
way with the State Land Com.
missiOners and would he very
glad 10 have your views as to the
desirability of holding such a
convention, and If l can count on
your active assistatce in the mat
ter,

Hebrew III. Look il up,
God in his attempt to reach
the human heart and conscience
uses different methods and
means. For example. God may
reveal Himself in the events of
history or He may make His APP
peal through the object lesson of
the ritual and ceremonial; He
may use as mediatOrs especially
we'll qualified individuals TO
whom He can make Himself
known or He may dispense with
the external means and influence
more directly the human soul.
These are some of the means by
which God makes Himself known
today and these are some of the
means by which God made Him
self known during the period co.
yered by the BiblecaI records. 1t
is evident then that when at.
