COL. II. 5. GRAVES TELLS OF
EXPERIEN IN FRANC

EN- BEhlENC CES IN FRAN & h.
Denver, April 29-Col. II. : Graves.
Chief Forester of the United States, who
recently returned from France where
he went last June TO prepare the way
and later TO direct the work of the lOth
and 2Oth forest regiments, is visitor at
local forestry headquarters this week
At a luncheon served in his honor on
Tuesday, Colonel Graves addressed the
members Of the Denver forest Office tell
ing Of his observations and experiences
abroad. The two 'lumberack reg-
ments," Mr.. Graves says, are making
name for themselves and, in keeping
with the spirit of the Allies in with
standing the terrific onslaught of the
enemy, are working night and day in
the French forests turning out lumber
and other construction material needed
by the allied armies at the front. Where
time is so essential to success, be says,
absolutely correct silvicultural methods
can not always be employed, but when
we have won the fight for liberty we
will not have to look back with regret
on the work of our forest regiments.
In his talk Colonel Graves emphasizes
the fact that although France is sorely
hit by the war, there is no sign of ex-
haustion or being oiled white as pro-
pagandists would have us believe. On
the contrary, France and England are
trained to the minute and fighting in a
united spirit with the one aim to crush
militarism. He further emphasizes the
fact that only the highest degree of eth
cheney and the most concerted action
behind the lines by everyone in every
phase of activity can supply the front
line with the necessary man power,
fighting materials and necessities of life
to stop the rush of nation gone mad
with the idea of world conquest.
Colonel Graves will return TO Wash
ington today having concluded visit
to each of the six national forest districts
in the west.

bA r. T. hiNbs
April 29, 1918.
Emmett Iogue, who has been working
at the Wind Cave for the past year, has
gone on farm near Oelrichs.
Mrs. T. w Brazell returned last week
from Lake Andes where she had been
visiting relatives the past two weeks.
The Park management is fast getting
the park enclosed in fence, which will
make the grazing proposition good deal
easier in the future.
We have had very bad, stormy, dis
agreeable weather throughout the month
and indications are not favorable at
present writing for anything better
Bert Woodcock is having good luck
with his sheep, taking into consideration
the bad weather. He has about ninety
lambs so far, and reports the losses few.
Troy Beach, who has been trapping
at the Game Preserve, expects to move
within the next week to other places
where trapping will be more profitable
than here He will visit with his fam
lily at Folsom before moving his outfit.
Chas. j. Bayer, Predatory Animal In
spector for the Biological Survey, of Lam
der, Wyoming, spent three days at the
Game Preserve last week. He was well
pleased with the progress being made in
clearing The preserve Of coyotes. Mr..
Beach, the Government trapper, has
caught eighteen coyotes in the iast five
weeks.
Argyle and PrinRle have both gone
over the top in the Third Liberty Loan.
Beaver Valley is near the mark and may
go over before the campaign closes. The
district under the supervision of A. +.
Chambers, as "a whole has gone over the
top, but on account of some misunder-
standing the Beaver Valley precinct is
still behind.

SENIOR CLASS
PLAY IS GREAT
WIS.,

Perhaps the most interesting event
of the close of the senior year at the
High School was the class play, "All
the Comforts of Home produced at
the school auditorium Wednesday
night.
Standing out in the work of the
Thespians was the work of Walter
Collins as Tom and Mildred McGov-
ney as Mrs. Bender.
Jamie Graeser, another lead, in the
part of Alfred Pettibone, played his
more serious Interpretation in very
successful manner. John Hopkins, in
his first try in the High School dra-
matics, more than surprised both the
students and the cast with his action
in the part of Mr.. Bender.
They were ably supported by the
rest of the play cast, and the senior
play proved itself to be probably the
best class play presented at the high
school in years.
The crowd was also agreeably Ell
i t2rtained by the reading of the class
history, by Ruth Connect, the class
prophecy. by Forrest Clements, the
class will, by Ida Galeener, and the
singing Of the class song by the Sc
nior class.

yesterday, when speakers led the null

the dead heroes and in an appeal for
the purchase of War Savings Stamps.
Attorney Louis G. Guernsey Of Los
Angeles, in the principal address of
the day, said, in part:
Ladies and Gentlemen u lmpcr-
