ARE REPORTED

Ogden, Aug. Although there
have been 102 forest fires in the
Fourth district of the United States
forest service to date, the property
loss has not exceeded $1,000 and the
total cost of fire suppression has not
exceeded $1,000. The next thirty days

upon as the most dangerous period in
so far as fire hazards are concerned
for drouth prevails in most Of the
forests OF the districts and there are
no indications Of rain storms.
Visitors to national forests are
warned to use care in lighting and
leaving fires. All fire fighting equip.
ment is in readiness as well as the
extra men and the success OF the for
est service thus far this season in
keeping down losses, forest service

outlook.

Reelection.

The New York Herald, which is
supporting Hughes editorially, puts
the state of Washington in the Will
son column as the result of it's polit-
ical poll.
The Herald's straw vote to date
shows Wilson leading Hughes in
states which have 331 electoral votes.
Only 266 electoral votes are neces-
sary for election. The states which
the Herald gives to President Will
son are:. Colorado, Connecticut,
Idaho, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland,
Michigan, Minnesota. Montana, New
| York, Ohio, Washington, West Vir-
ginia, Wisconsin and all the South.
Even without New York, which the
president is expected to carry by up
ward of 100000, the Herald shows
he would have 286 electoral votes
20 more than he needs.

questionably in the presidents direc.

one who desires the reelection of
President Wilson, to devote the
whole of that day to the inspiring
task of helping to make Mr.. Wilson'S
reelection sure.
Urges Undivided Effort.
president Wilson has given 365
days year to such labOrs and re-
sponsibilities as have not burdened
the soul of any president since Lin
coins time. Can we not do our little
part by giving at least one day of
undivided effort in appreciation of
his devotion, and to uphold his hands
in this most critical period of our
history?
patriots who would gladly die
for their country, if necessary, GER
tainly will not hesitate to give one
day of active life to that same pur-
pose. Let each loyal supporter OF
the president win at least one other
vote for Wilson and humanity
Talk for Wilson, write for Wilson
and distribute Wilson literature in
your precinct. Let the women hold
neighborhood meetings. 1t will not
require trained orators, for no tongue
can be more eloquent than that OF
the mother, thankful that war has
not broken her family circle.
Suggests Demonstration.
"Then, as a fitting climax to the
day, let all unite in an enthusiastic
demonstration that will attest our al
legiance, and be an appropriate an
swer to the food Of villifcation and
abuse which the Presidents oppo-
nents have reserved for these hnal
days. Let each regard this procla-
nation with a sense Of personal re-
sponsibility. 1T is not SO much that
we are for Wilson, as that Wilson is
for u.s. and II we have caught the
vision of the America that is to be,
