Causes of the Fires.

The foregoing figures show that
something like 40 percent of these fires
were caused by human agencies and
were the result of carelessness. This in
dicates then, that every citizen Of Idaho
county who is interested in the future
development and prosperity of the
county should lend his active assistance
to the protection of the great resources
of the county's forests by exercising
greater care with fire and by Impress
ing the need for such care upon his
neighbors.
Another point brought out by these
figures, is the small amount of volun-
tary assistance by the public in aiding

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE 1T BETTER

For a good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting
series Of experiments having as their
object the Improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And it is interesting to know that one
Of the greatest of their discoveries was one
OF the simplest and that was, that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it in every
way, just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took a real Burnley tobacco, grown
in this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; noistened it to replace the
natural moisture driven off by t-oasting;
made it into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE. the toasted cigarette
and offered themto the public.
Theresult has been the greatestdemand
ever created for any tobacco product in a
similar length Of time.
The change produced by toasting is not
! only most wholesome. but the flavor is
greatly improved, Just AZ cooking improves

Get Right With God"

The caption of this paragraph is
q slogan sometimes used by timer
ant evangelists It's good motto,
even if bit slangy. There is an
other motto, a much Older one,
which reads like this: The voice
OF the people is the voice of God !"
Well, the voice of the people is not
the voice of God, but it is the only
deity which some people seem TO
fear, and Populi is the only god they
know The members of the Ameri
can congress have heard from the
people now, and they know what
to do. One thing to do is to repeal
that infamous and absurd postal
law zone repeal it in toto, and
repeal it at once. 1t has worked a
needless hardship on every newspa.
per in the United States The Dem
ocratic Congress should repeal this
silly enactment at the short session.
They should not wait for the Re-
pubhcans to do it. The Democrat.
ic party can get a worse drubbing
in 1920 than it received in
1918. That is not probable, but it
is at least conc eivable. Missouri
