Cattlem9n Recruits
Hold Range Rights

Users of the national forest range
who enlist in the army or navy may,
according to telegram received from
H. S. Graves, forester and chief OF
the Forest Service, retain their graz
ing preference rights without actual
use of the range during the term of
their enlistment. Under the present.
regulations, a permittee, II he fails
to make use of the range for one sea-
son, forfeits his preference rights as
"Class A" or old-time user, and has
to stand his chance on fully utilized
range with a newcomer. This new
order is intended to prevent any pos
sible hardship that might arise from
the absence of permittee while serv-
ing his country in the army or navy.
The forester's order provides that
grazer who enlists and does not usa
the range in his absence should file
a statement with the forest super+
visor so that the range can be used
temporarily during his absence.
In line with the campaign Of pro-
ducing the utmost food products, the
Forest Service, says M. L. Ericksons
forest supervisor of the Crater na+
tional forest is allowing more range
stock on the national forests this sea-
son than ordinarily, even in some in+
stances at the risk of overstocking
the range and temporarily injurins

Seena Owen Wins Her Spurs As a
Rough Rider

Rough Rider
II there is any doubt in the minds
of the motion picture fans who have
been watching the screen career Of
Miss Seena Owen, the Triangle star,
whether or not that young woman
can make good on her advertised rep
utation as a feminine athlete, they
need only to see her in her latest
production, Madame Bo-Peep", to be
convinced. In this drama she runs
the gauntlet Of athletic achievement
and acquits herself with champion
ship honors. She rides bucking
broncho, swims across a lake when
the horse beneath her becomes mired
in quick sand, races down the side
of a mountain and engages in hand
to-hand encounter with a villainous
assailant, fights another pitched bat
tie with an unwelcome suitor on the
rear end of a speeding train and par
ticipates in scores Of violent and
thrilling situations. Miss Ovens dis
play of horsewomanship is not sur
prising when one knows that she was
born on an Oregon cattle ranch and
learned to ride when she was a small
girl. She is not of the athletic type,
however, and in the early part of the
picture she is seen as a pampered
society darling. It is quite astonish-
ing to watch her development in the
course of the screen story, and realize
that the same girl is playing a part
portrayed by Miss Owen calling fol
the display of such versatility.
