The Washington Heralds Poet
Today Rhymes on
Pa Weakens.
By EDMUND VANCE COoK

BY EDMUND VANCE COOKE.
When l was kissin' ma one day,
Pa sort of shoves his chair away
Back from the table, and says he,
You're kind of big, it seems to me,
To allus be slobberin' so
Around your mother. Don't you know
Affection shouldn't be a show?
II sort of cheapens love, l say,
To have it allus on display.
Leastwise, | was brought up that way"
Just then my sister foated in
And rubbed him underneath the chin
And wrinkled up his face and skin
Between her hands. And then she dips
And smacks him one, right on the lips.
And then she pecks him two or three
Up where his top-knot used to be-
And pa, he grins just like a cat
And gives her hand spoony pat
And says, "By Georgel tell you what :
Appreciation helps lott
1t hits me in tender spot"
And ma, she looked across and said,
Il noticed that she kissed your head"

OUTBREAK OF FOREST FIRES

The warm dry weather of the past
few days has increased the danger of
forest fires. Some small fires have
developed in this vicinity. That a
large fire has developed either in
Kittitas county or Immediately west
of Chelan county on the coast side of
the mountains is indicated by ashes,
cinders and burned pine needles that
have fallen in the Cascade orchards
the past thirty-siX hours. 1t was at
first thot the fires might be on he
head of the Icicle river, but investi-
cation by Forest Ranger Brender con-
WINGED him that the fire was not on
the Chelan county side.
"A fire of considerable proportions
developed Wednesday in Nahahum
canyon, near Cashmere, which, how
ever was under control yesterday. In
vestigation indicated that it had orig
mated from a cigarette. A small fire,
believed to have started from mo-
squito smudge, west of Blewett, yes
terday was also reported under con-
troll.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1919-07-11
WILL YOU HELP TO PREVENT
FOREST FIRES +?

Forest Ranger Brender has been
advised that the coming two weeks
will be dry, with northerly winds.
Producing the conditions which make
forest fires hard to control This fact
should make all who go into the for
est doubly careful about starting
fires. Most of the forest fires start
from carelessness. Leaving a camp
fire without putting out the fire, a
cigarette stump dropped among dry
leaves or grass, or lighted match
carelessly thrown aside by a smoker
is exceedingly dangerous. Timber is
more than ever valuable during the
reconstruction period and every tree
destroyed by fire makes lumber
scarcer and higher in price.

POLICE SNOQUALMIE FOR
AUTO THIEVES

Policing of Snoqualmie pass to pre-
vent stolen western Washington auto
mobiles from reaching the eastern
portion of the state, and those from
the east getting into the west, was
advocated recently by Sheriff John
Stringer of King county before the
state sheriffs' association convention.
Stringer also suggested that all roads
leading out of the state be guarded
to prevent stolen cars getting thru.
Passage of laws compelling every
auto owner to display his name in
prominent letters not less than 11s
inches high on both sides of his car
was urged by Sheriff David Yates
of Walla Walla county. Muddy and
dusty number plates sometimes make
reading of them difficult Yates de-
clared, and with the names on the
cars it would be easy to check them.
