call themselves Americans. The government man
ages them for us, but they are part yours and part
mine, because we help pay for their upkeep.
You are welcome to use the national forests as
a place for hunting, camping, and fishing, and
for rest and recreation. The latchstring Is always
out, and there is no Slosed door or cumbersome
restrictions. OF course, you will be careful not to
set the woods on fire; for who wants to burn up
his own property? And you will be sure to clean
up your camp before you leave, 1 know, so as to
make it pleasant for the next party that comes
along. From Maine to California, and from the
Canadian line to the Gulf Of Mexico, there are
156,0O0,O00 acres of such Fairgrounds, held in
trust for your use and recreation and for that Of
your children and your children's children.
Learn to know the national forests They are
well worth knowing, because they offer to the
tourist, the camper, the hunter, and the health
seeker, everything that the heart of man could
ask. The clean, bracing air of the hills, the glori-
Gus freedom of the mountains, the cool summer
breezes, and the ripping running water, all these
and more are yours If you will only have them.
The great outdoors is calling you-will never
cease to call you until you answer the summons.
Shall we spend the summer in the Rockies-in

There is always something for every member OF
the family TO do-for the adults, mountain climb

photographs, %berrying, or resting under the shade
of the trees with a good book for the children,
playtime in the genial sun from dawn till dark,
without fear of wild animals, snakes, or noXious

This is life out of doors in the Rockies, amid
the pines, and spruce, and aspen, and the whole

and snowy crests sentinel about spring and

tied. Look them up on the map, and then cast
your eyes north, south, east and west over the
remainder of this great country of ours. You will
agree with me now, won't you, that your knowl-
edge is but as one of the leaves of a forest floor?
Perhaps you have seen mountains, back East
Or down South, and have even climbed them and
thought them srupendous. But you will never
know what real mountains are until you have
crossed the "Big Muddy and stood at the foot of
those mighty %sentinels Of the West-the Rockies.
A thousand rugged peaks bid you welcome, and
the snow-capped submits seem as fingers of a
gigantic hand lifted to draw you to them.
Have you not felt the call Of the mountains, you
Mr.. Business Man, and you and you, my friends,
whatever may be your place In this world? 1t
was only yesterday I saw you sitting at your work,
dreaming. Was it of the big trout you were think
ing, in the dark pool by the haystack rock, or that
little lean-to camp on the edge of the meadow in
the big timber? That was some camp, wasn't it?'
And do you remember the THROUGH bed and the
big open fire, and the deer that wandered up into
the light one evening to see what it was all about?
How 1t all comes back to us, and how we long to
be again Gin the clear and wander at will In
Gods great out of doors. You must feel it-you
can't escape it. 1t is the call of the Red Gods
of the mountains-a part of the heritage of us
Americans, handed down from our forefathers.
Let us get out our map and decide where In
the great West we will spend our summer. We
will look over the Rocky mountains first; here
they are right under our finger. This is the Con-
tinental divide, the backbone of this great country.
Most of it runs through national forests. Do these
words mean anything to you? Forests belonging
to the people of the United States. Yesl you and

high mountain lands Of the Manti
national forest In Utah, IL was found
that erosion and decrease in soil
fertility following overgTazing ma
terially iengthen the period neces-
saFy for the grass to come back"
A study of the methods OF herding
goats has resulted In an improve
ment in the handling OF these ami
mails on the range. On the tornado
range reserve q calf crop fully 10
per cent above the average was
saved from a breeding herd held on
fenced range under improved
methods and given a small amount
Of supplemental feed. From anoth-
er herd, fed an average OF so pounds
Of cottonseed cake per head and
given still better care, the calf crop
exceeded the average by more than
20 per cent.
on some OF the Utah, Montana and
California forests tests were made
which further demonstrated the ad-
vantages Of the bedding out" sys-
tenn OF handling sheep over the old
method OF close herding with dogs.
Advance was made in the methods Of
sailing cattle and in showing the
value of we'll distributed watering
places. On a number OF forests
demonstration tests were made Of
eradication OF the poisonous tall
larkspur. In every case. the report
states, the losses from poisoning
were reduced TO an extent which
more than justified the cost. Minor
Investigations were also started TO
work out methods Of getting rid Of
other poisonous plants.

Big DEMAND FOR
NATIONAL FOREST
RANGES BY STOCK
men OF THE WEST
Winter of 1867 Most
Disastrous Stockmen
Have Experienced
SCARCITY OF
HAY rs CAUSE
Total Receipts From Graz
ing Reach Sum of
$1,549,0OO

Washington, Dec. ga continued
increase in the demand for permits
to Craze livestock on the national
forests and the necessity of going
ahead with the work OF developing
the forest ranges to the utmost are
emphasized by Acting Forester A.
+. Potter in the annual report of the
Forest service. The settlement OF the
public domain brings new applicants
for grazing privileges with each sue
ceeding season, while the continued
high prices received for meat, wool
and hides are an incentive for the
older permittees to endeavor to in
crease their numbers. New permits
for an increased number Of animals
and an advance in the grazing fees
made during the year brought the
total receipts from grazing up TO
81, SAG, 0OO."
The winter season of 1861 was
the most disastrous the range
stockmen OF the west have known.
Mr.. Potter states. There have been
years when the local losses were
heavier, but never when the losses
were so general in every range state.
AS result of continued severe
weather throughout the winter
months and a scarcity of hay, which
was hard to get at any price. stock
men suffered severe losses. The
lamb crop for the entire west was
probably IS to 20 per cent below the
average while the calf crop was con-
siderably below normal. Because Of
the shortage OF feed on the open
range, the national forests were
opened TO grazing in advance Of the
regular season and several hundred
thousand sheep and cattle were ad-
mitted TO the forest ranges.
The number OF cattle on the
forests the past season was nearly
200, 900 greater than In 1915, and the
number Of sheep more than 200, 700
greater. This increase, IT Is stated,
was due to a more intimate know
ledge of the forage growth and the
carrying capacity OF the ranges, and
to efforts made to increase produce
ton Of livestock to meet the
emergency food needs Of the coun-
try.
About 100000 acres were examin-
ed by the grazing experts Of the ser
vice during the year. The informa-
ton gained viii. the report says, aid
In raising the number OF livestock
on the ranges to the maximum,
without excessive damage. Light
grazing for three years has result
ed in excellent recuperation of
large area of grama grass range on
the Tornado range reserve. On the

Hundreds Of Christian worshippers
in Fargo and Moorhead will lift their
voices. and sing anthems OF praise in
honor Of the birth OF the Christ
child at the services to be held Sun
day morning and evening.
Holy Night "Hark the Herald
Angels Sing" and other Christmas
anthems that have been handed down
to posterity will be sung by mixed
choruses with special music ac-
commandment. Tableaux will also
be presented in some Of the churches
to convey the Christmas message.
From the coming of the Babe, the
Christian world dates the real
Christian church. Historians trace
the river to a mountain spring, the
forests to a single acorn, the locomo-
tives to a little model OF Watts, but IL
seems far more wonderful that all
the churches and cathedrals, all the
TIE Deums and the ntanies, all the
theologies and institutions go back
to Jesus single life.
Americas first war Christmas finds
the religious bodies Of Fargo and
Moorhead actively engaged in the
conduct of such work as is espec-
tally fitting at this time. In practi-
cally every church, the old system
of giving has been abandoned, and
the people are being asked to bring
offerings of foods and moneys, to be
used for the relief of the less fort
innate.
The war spirit in church services
will be quite evident, with the
American flag predominating in the
decorations. Service flags in various
churches are constant reminders OF
the fact that men and women are
"over there" or elsewhere, doing
their bit for the advancement OF
humanity.

following staple articles of food:
Beginners and primaries. crackers;
juniors, breakfast foods; intermedi-
ates, rice; seniors and adults, can
ned goods; mems Bible class, -four;
home department, corn meal. The
| money will be used to buy potatoes,
ETC., and the gifts will be given
through the Glad Tidings Mission.
This promises to be one of the very
best Christmas programs ever given
at the First Baptist church.
The Christmas program at the
First Baptist church at 1880 o'clock
Sunday evening will comprise a
cantata dealing with the story of
Bethlehem. Twenty-Five vUces will
be heard. The chorus will be under
the direction Of Miss Clara Tayes.
Plymouth Congregational Church.
"A Pilgrim Pageant" presented by
the members of Miss Lillian Chand-
ler's Sunday school class will be one
of the interesting features OF the
Christmas program at Plymouth
Congregational church at o'clock
Monday evening.
The pageant represents the land
ing, of the Pilgrims, and then the
representatives Of various other ma
tions and shows how they are made
into good American citizens through
the church and the school. The
pageants are one Of the means which
the Congregational churches OF the
country are taking to arouse inter-
est in the three-hundredth anniver-
sary Of the landing OF the Pilgrims,
which will be celebrated in 1920.
A really unique feature of the
program will be an original playlet
written by Hamlet Larson, a stu
dent OF the Agricultural college, en-
titled THE Great Spirit and the
Medicine Man." which will be pres
ented by Mr.. Larson's Sunday school
class OF eight boys. The playlet
gives the Indians idea Of religion and
leads over naturally to the Indians
conception of Christmas. The boys
will be appropriately costumed.
There will be various other num-
bers on the program, consisting Of
songs, recitations and exercises by
the other classes in the school.
The Christmas committee in
charge of the entire arrangements
are Miss Marion Johnson, Mrs. NJ.
Il. Schnell, Miss Lillian Chandler,
Miss Bertha Stickney, Clarence SON
