NATIONAL FOREST GRAZING PRI-
VilEGES MUST NOT BE SOLD

Washington, January 1.-THE sec
retary of agriculture is notifying all
holders of permits for. grazing live
stock on the national forests that the
payment of any bonus or allowance
for waiver of the grazing privilege in
connection with sales of livestock or
ranch properties viii be cause for re-
vocation of the permit
Owing to the great and ever-grow-
ing demand for use of the forest
ranges. which is now in most regions
far beyond their capacity. the graz
ing privilege is of large value. Upon
the national forests the government
applies system of regulated use de-
signed to encourage production. pro-
mote the upbuilding of the country
along healthy lines. and secure the
greatest good to the greatest num-
ber, but makes only moderate
charge for the grazing permits.
In view of those in charge of the
national forest grazing business, it
would be entirely unfair for the pub
iitt W ioieSO Il IudNllnun return Tor
the value of use of its property and
then allow those granted the privilege
of use to collect this value from others
ns the price of surrendering their
privileges. Such practice would,
they say. make competitive disposal
by the government of the grazing the
only logical course.
As Secretary Houston says in warn
ing the range users that the payment
of bonuses or the giving of any con-
sideration to secure the filing of
waiver of the grazing privileges is
prohibited, such payment would be /
a consideration for a privilege the /
granting of which is wholly within the |
discretion of the government and for I
which no one is entitled to receive /
compensation Therefore any such /
payment will be sufficient cause for |
the revocation of permit or forfeiture |
OF all grazing preferences based upon |
the purchase of permitted stock"

APPRECITLION Of

of the communication received from
the chairman of the American Red
Cross War council thanking the peo-
pie for their ready response to the

WHY THRIFT STAMPS ARE

Festus ]. Wade, director War Saw
ings Committee for Missouri, has fire.
quently been asked, since the opening
of the thrift campaign, why the Thrift
Stamps were not redeemable In cash
and why they did not bear interest.
"The Thrift Stamps are not made
redeemable in cash." said Mr. Wade,
land are not Understanding for the
reason that the Thrift Stamps are sim
ply intended as a convenient method
for the small wage-earner and person
of limited means to accumulate
enough to purchase War Savings
Stamps, which bear interest and are
redeemable in cash"
The housewife, boy or girl or anyone
else may buy 25-cent Thrift Stamp
each. week until his Thrift Card is
full, and then with IL cents additional
purchase a War Savings Stamp, which
is redeemable in cash and bears in
terest at the rate of per cent if held
until maturity, January, 1928, or II
through necessity the holder finds that
he must convert 1t into cash before
maturity it bears interest at the rate
Of 8 per cent per annum.
In addition, to provide for the re
demption of these Thrift Stamps would
involve such an amount of detail &C
counting, labor and expense as to inn
pair the practicability OF their use.
