words after the Seventh day,

Adam is the root word Of Great.

But God linked them together
in Gen. 2~-3 and 5-1-2 This is
the book OF the generations of
Adam. In the day that God
created man in the likeness of
God made he him: male aud

shall now ask you to read where
God created man, by the breath
of his mouth"
And cod said. Let US make

likeness; and let them have
dominion over the fish of the sea
and over the fowl of the air. and
owe the cattle, and over all the
earth, and over every creeping
thing that creepeth upon the

So God created man in his own
image, in the image of cod

And God blessed them. and
God said unto them, Be fruitful,
and multiply, and replenish the
earth. and subdue it, and have
dominion over the fish of the
sea, and over the fowl of ehe air
and over every living thing that
moveth upon the earth

FOREST FIRES ARE COSTLY
Cause Average Loss of $25,0o0,o 900 and
Seventy Lives Every Year in the
United States.

The direct annual fire loss in the
United States from forest fires is said
to be about $25,OOO,OOO, to which must
be added an equal amount from the
destruction of sawmills, farm build
ings. crops, and stock that are burned
by fires originating in the forests.
Apart from the property loss there
is an average death list of 20 human
lives each year. The indirect losses
through the destruction of raw mate
rial, the shutting down Of sawmills and
woodworking industries, the losses in
wages through unemployment, all tend
to increase the price Of wood products
and these losses cannot be estimated

He made up a package of the star,

Rachel and straightway leave for the

new DIRECTOR OF THE MINT

Ray Baker, the newly appointed
director Of the mint, gained thorough

The son Of a former chief counsel of
the Union Pacific railroad, Ray, as
he is known to everyone in Washing

his career as a prospector. Behind

probably will one day put him in the
millionaire class.
His mine is so far from civilization
that he must await the development of
the country before expecting to reap
his harvest. A more conveniently To-
