At Quentin Roosevelt's Grave.

According to . cablegram received
recently By Commander Evangeline
Booth, of the Salvation Army In America,
Colonel William Barker, who is In charge
of the Salvation Army War Work In
France, was with the party Of American
officers who several days ago located the
grave OF Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt,
who was buried by the Germans. On Q
card placed upon the board at the head
of the grave was written the line "Buried
By the Germans"
The Americans smootbed over the
grave, and with the consent of the
officers present Colonel Barker secured q
big wreath Of flowers which almost
covered the plot. To this he attached
the card Of Commander Miss Booth as Q
token of the esteem In which the Salvs-
ton Army holds the dead soldier.
Recently Major Theodore Roosevelt
Jr., brother OF Quentin, wrote very
wonderful tribute to the Salvation Army
aud the work 1t was doing In France
The letter was addressed to Major At

Salvation Army War Work.
(Hal Cram.)

Many people in this country believe
that the huts of the war workers in
France are located far in the rear of the
lines, and far from the bursting shells
and shrapnel. This is not the case,
especially concerning those Of the Saliva.
tion Army Workers. Their huts and
dugouts are situated right near the front
firing lines, as near the actual fighting
as the Commander In Chief will allow
them. All through the big allied OF.
fensive Salvation Army workers, both
men and women, have been aiding the
soldiers in caring for the wounded and
doing first aid work, making the sui.
ferers as comfortable az possible until
the hospital conveyances arrived to take
them to the relief dugouts in the base
hospitals. Among the Salvationists
who have been In the action on the
scissors Rheims front, are the two
sisters of Mrs. Albert e. Widgery of
Portland, wife OF Major Widgery, head
of the Northern New England Division
of the Salvation Army. They are Miss
Captain Violet McAllister and Envoy
Alice McAllister. Both young ladies
before leaving for the battle front toured
Maine and New Hampshire and spoke In
many of the most prominent cities In
the interests of the Salvation Army
drive for funds for war work.
Letters that have just been received
by Mrs. Widgery from the young ladies
state that they have just been sent back
to Paris for q short rest after going
through the great Allied offensive. They
were under the German fire continually
for days and served the soldiers With
lemonade and took care Of the wounded
until the field hospital units arrived
They witnessed Hun airman bomb one
of the hospitals, he doing the act
deliberately, knowing full we'll the type
OF building that he was endeavoring to
destroy. Luckily only small part OF
the hospital was injured, but unluckily
some of the wounded were killed and
others suffered additional wounds.
After this the Hun flyer overlook q
regiment of the Scotch troops on the
road, who were coming from the front
for few hours rest and dropped bis
bombs into the middle of the ranks kill
ing many. The girls saw scenes OF hor.
ror that were too much for them to de.
scribe, but their words of praise for the
fighting Yankees were the highest.
Capt. Violet said that the great trouble
with the American boys was that 1t was
difficult for their officers to keep them
back, they wanted to do too much and
wanted to continue to fight without rest.

National Forest Receipts Increase.

Receipts from the National Forests In
the fiscal year 1918, ending June 30. ex-
ceeded those for 1917 BY almost $120, 900
and totaled over $3,574, 900. The. In
crease does not come up to the big In
crease OF the year before, which was
more than $500, 900, but still shows "a
healthy growth in most lines OF business
on the Forests. The cost Of operating
the. Forests was about $4,000, 900, and
was practically the same as in the pre-
vious year. This 10 exclusive Of the sd.
ditional expenditures caused by the very
serious fire situation and for which q
special deficiency appropriation OF over
500, 900 was made by Congress.
This years. increase In receipts, accord
ing to the forestry officials, came mainly
from the larger number of livestock
grazed, although every revenue-produc.
ing activity on the Forests except tim
Der business and permits for water pow
er contributed it's share. The timber
business fell off in consequence OF the
general let-up in private building activi-
ties on account of the war, tho disloca-
tion of transportation facilities during
much of the year, and the labor si'ua'
tiOn, especially in the Northwest, where
the timber business is ordinarily largest.
The falling off in receipts from water.
power permits was caused, 1t is believed,
by the uncertainty created by pending
legislation. Many prospective permit
tees are holding back until 6ual action
has been taken on the legislation now
under consideration.
Timber sales yielded over $1,000 600
and livestock grazing Uver 81, ,7OO,OOO.
Slightly less than 100000 was brought
In from permits for water power develop
ment. Other forms of land occupancy,
including leases of land for summer
homes, hotels, club grounds, spiaries,
fish ba,cheries and canneries, brought
in about $4,000. The sale OF iurpen'
tine privileges on the Florida Forest
brought in little over $4,000.
Much of the nse of the National For.
ests IL free. Settlers and residents of
the small communities in and near the
Forests are allowed without charge rea.
sonable amounts of wood for fuel. In
addition, the settler may obtain timber
for use in the improvement and mainte-
nance of bis farm and is given the privi
lege to Craze free not to exceed ten head
of milch and work animals.
Fees for grazing cattle brought in sp
proxima'ely 81 1,039, 900 and for sheep
s663, 900. Special efforts were made
during the past year to increase the use
of the ranges to the fullest extent in
order to meet the needs OF the nation
for meat, wool, and hide production.
On one Forest new range for $4,000
sheep was opened by building special
barge to transport the sheep across
lake to high mountain grazing lands
which could not be reached in any other
way.
Considerable cooperation was also
given the Forest Service by grazing per.
mittees in the construction OF drift
fences and the improvement of watering
places. Although the range is being
used to the limit the forestry officials
are regulating the use carefully, with
view to preventing any permanent dam
age to carrying capacity.

A s,a.ooo Story.

The story began out In Okanogan
county, Wash, some years ago. Three
peighboring families raised hogs, but
neither one had carload ready for mar.
ket at one time. So, being neighborly
they arranged to have their hogs ready
At the same time, combined them, and
shipped car load. They found It paid
to be neighborly. This arrangement
grew into the Loomis Live Stock. Asso
citation, Loomis, Wash.
Other communities heard of this and
began to market their stock the same
way. Cooperative shipping was soor
common. Then the people Of the county
began to organize livestock associations
Now there are twelve Of these aseooia'
tious. Last year the members OF ont
association shipped $50 head OF stock tt
market at one time; and that's wher.
the S33, 900 comes In, for their stool
nstted that much more than II they hat
sold individually In small lots.
In addition TO better prices, bette
shipping facilities have been secured
Railways have sgreed to make up speola
trains for several associations, .reducinl
the time in transit, hence lessening tn
shrinksge which accompanies shipping
and the transit feed.
