Shipping Forests to France
is lLate Red Cross Move
BY GEORGE MARTIN

WASHINGTON - Even America
forests are being shipped to Europe t.
help win the war.
Great fir tracks along the Columbis
river in Oregon, the Red Cross an
nounced today, are being hewn, loaded
Panama canal to New York and hurl-
ed across to France.
Thus it falls out that permanent
quarters for Red Cross base hospitals
on the western front are being fash
toned from the ranks of Oregon's army
of trees
The need for sending American for
ests across the seas to France Is
shown in the Red Cross statement
that so scarce is timber in France
that tents are now being used to
house many of the American conting-
ents.'
This shipment of lumber" said
the Red Cross Like many other ship
ments of Red Cross supplies now going
abroad, is being made through the CO.
operation of the United States ship
ping board with the Red Cross war
council. Chairman Edward n Hur-
ley of the shipping board, was MEM
Der of the war council until appointed
to his present post.
1.-THE railroads and the City of New
York have aided in the establishment
of the new Red Cross transportation
service. The railroads, through the
railroads war board, have issued or
ders that Red Cross shipments must
not be held up by embargoes or any
delays of ordinary freight in these
days of railway congestion.
New York City has turned over
to the Red Cross large warehouse
on the North river without charges,
and commissioner of docks and fer |
ries, Smith, is acting as associate di-
rector of the Red Cross supply serv-
ice which has charge of the assembl-
ing OF all goods for shipment abroad.
ITO help in this great service of
mercy at sea, the allied governments
have also taken the unusual step of
their transports to be used

DON'T MAKE PROMISES YOU CAN'T KEEP

is a splendid thing to have people say of you,
YES will it, because he always keeps his
promises" you promise to be at certain place
O'clock be three not at $780, Your neglect
to keep promise in this may upset tange up
some one elses cherished carefully laid plans
When you have once passed your word on anything
keep it, But before making promise giving your
word be the you propose to pursue is the
right one We all the difficulties people get
by making promises matters which, after calm
Election they apt consider entirely thing
There old saying that is applicable almost all
questions that confront u.s. First be sure you are
right and go ahead It's simple little rule of
life but it's one of the very hardest to follow.
We all remember the old story of the man who was
so faithful his promise that his word in any transac
ton was considered as good Now that's the
right sort of reputation 1t makes life much
easier and consequently much happier Conentment
must ever sit by the hearth of such person
mind easy at rest, and much power
to do ones work in the world.
Unfortunately there people in this world about
whom you be in perpetual doubt They tell you
thing, but experience you expect them to
other. They keep those compelled associate with
them in perfect of uncertainty destroy
ship with them.

ment the bill is $47.36. The rifle
heads the list at a cost of $3.50. The
gas mask comes next and is set down
at $12. The cartridge belt is $40s
and the steel helmet is SO. For the
most part steel helmets and gas
masks are made in France and Great
Britain, although the manufacture of
them has begun in this country. Eat
ing utensils, first aid kit and pouch
to carry it foot up 1913.
We venture to say that no soldier
in the allied forces will be so well
clothed as he who will fight for free
world under Uncle Sans flag.

promise is, or should be, sacred thing under all
conditions Yet how people place that value
it? All kinds OF promises made without thought of
the obligation implied Yet, at the same time, one
would be highly indignant if accused of being untruth
full If friends implied that wouldn't keep
your word you would be pretty apt deny the
ton with all the vgor you possessed and yet you know
that your friend only telling the truth gained
through experience in assocating with Someone
said death is the only acceptable

Bear. Tt would be such a waste OF

second place, how could we ever pick

look so strange with summer feathers

to have the wind take message to
the King of the Clouds, telling him
how much the bears liked the rain.
"And from the way the rain kept on,
1t seemed as if the rain wanted to

"'There are some people who go in

Bear.
"'And I have heard it said,' added
Mrs. Brown Bear, that folks who do
not go in when it rains, do not know
much. In fact there is saying about
very foolish people, that they do not
know enough to go in when it rains
"sHow can such foolish sayings go

the rainstorm the bears stayed outside

two polar bears next door to two
brown bears.

to say that they lived in cages side

people living next door to each other.
But the bears had fine yards to
play In, as well as their places for
sleeping. Their homes were almost
entirely of rocks. and In each place
there was big pool where they could
swim.
"Now the polar bears were very
handsome. They were white and they
