To a Mother

~ &sAOtAfSA
The following thoughts originated
from the reading of an address under
this title, published anonymously in
the Youths Companions:
1t is hard, perhaps impossible, to
say anything that will help you to
forget your loss or that can dull the
sense of emptiness in your heart for
the boy who is gone.
That consolation is beyond the
power of words to bestow. but it will
come to you of itself, unsought and
unexpected light from the glory
of the great cause that has taken
him.
You are his mother, and therefore
have had mothers dream for your
son. You taught him to be honest
with himself, as with others. You set
his feet in the difficult path of cour-
age and helped him to walk in it.
You encouraged him to think little
of himself, but much of others, and
to hate injustice and cruelty. As the
years have passed you had the SUI
preme happiness of seeing your as
pirations take form and express
themselve sin your sons character,
and of knowing that it is your
dreams, guidance and teachings that
have made him what he is.
When the call came he heard it and
was ready. He went in the purity of
his youth, with his vision undimmed
and his heart on fire with noble pas
sion. So for you, he will always re-
main. 1t is your high privilege and
comfort to remember, that having
the great opportunity that he took
so gladly, and by your sacrifice set
the seal Of success on both your lives.
Your reward is the peace in your
heart that forevermore cit is we'll
with your child"

FOREST COMR'S.
ANNUAL REPORT

Forrest H. Colby of Bingham, the
State forestry commissioner. in his an
nual report, which was filed with the
Governor and Council Friday, recon-
mends that an additional half mill will
added to the forestry tax and that the
present method of appointing the for
est commissioner by the governor be
changed.
The greatly lessened purchasing
power OF a dollar applies to fire pro-
lection as well as to food or clothing or
anything else for which dollars have to
be expended and if a certain amount of
money will not buy half the amount of
flour, pork, woodspreads or labor that
it would a few years ago, neither will
it buy as much fire protection" says
Commissioner Colby in his report.
THE price of tools, telephone equip
ment and supplies, structural steel for
lookout towers and all the other ma
terial appliances that enter so largely
into the makeup of an up to date fire
fighting system have practically
doubled since the beginning of the
war: and doubtless prices will con-
tinue to go higher.
Labor, particularly, the class of
labor we require in the fire service,
cannot be purchased at the old price
How can we get men to work in the
fire service for $500 or $3.50 per day
when they can get from $500 to $500
per day cutting pulpwood or working in
shipyards or in some other industry
But whether the war continues for a
period of six months or six years oui
vigilance in protecting the forests
should not be abated or lessened.
The suggestion naturally follows
( that there should be more funds placed
at the disposal OF this department. and
| would recommend that an additional
half mill be added TO the forestry dis
trict tax for a period. Then if we are
favored with several fortunate seasons
in which the rains are frequent, the
fire hazard consequently being reduced
the department can lay up fund OF
reserve against the dry year which
( will surely come 1t would seem as
though this might he a propitious time
for a slight increase in the forestry

Unwise and Unpatriotic

Postmaster Rhode received this
week from Judge j. F. G. Griggs,
director for Florida of the Ma
tional War Savings Committee,
the folio win g communication,
which is commended to the ear
nest attention of every one who
has bought War Savings Stamps:
ut has been called to the at
tention of the State Director for
War Savings from various Sec
tions of the state that many peo-
pie are making application to
have their War Savings Stamps
cashed, under the impression that
there is no longer necessity either
for purchasing additional stamps
or for holding the ones they al
ready possess.
i am writing to ask if you will
not use your influence and efforts
to discourage this growing prac-
tice, calling to the attention of
those who make application for
cashing in Of their stamps that
they have sent the boys over to
France, and the theoretical effect
of recalling their money would
be to leave them in France after
they have won victory.
II am sure the patriots will lis
ten to this argument, and will not
cash in their stamps.
