Tie Times is informed that a COM
Pany OF Eastern race horse men are
contemplating the purchase of the
old Iron Mountain farm, at Iron
Mountain, this county, which con-
tains 1900 acres. The intention OF
the prospective purchasers of this
great tract Of land, so this paper Is
informed, will be to convert it
into breeding farm for fine horses.
Very little change or conversion
will be necessary to make such tract
into an ideal place for the raising OF
fine horses, as it is already practically
Ideal for such purpose. 1t perhaps

to find another location, anywhere
throughout the entire country, thai
would be so thoroughly adaptable fol

Lutheran Liberty Bond Drive Success.

Reports received at headquarters
indicate the success Of the campaign
for Three Million Dollars in Liberty
Bonds, by Lutherans OF the "Mis-
souri, Synod of the United States
This fund is to be the foundation for
a permanent Endowment Fund to
care for incapacitated pastors, pro-
fessors, teachers or their widows and
orphans.
The actual drive for bonds took.
place Sunday, March Both, 1919,
from Q to P. M. Fifty thousand
workers throughout the United States
were actively engaged. First reports
show an average of more than $4,000
per congregation and as there are
more than 5000 congregations in this
Synod an over subscription is indi-
Gated. The leaders in this campaign
also feel sure that many of their fell
low Lutherans will not send in con-
tributions until after the Victory
Liberty Loan. They will buy these
new securities of the Government
and then give their share OF these to
the Endowment Fund, which action
has been recommended as helping the
Government and helping the "Veter-
ans OF the Cross"
Statistics show that the mem bers of
this one Lutheran Synod alone
bought considerably more than Fifty
Million Dollars worth Of Liberty
Bonds.
1t is peculiarly fitting that such
Liberty Bonds, bought to help our
soldiers and sailors win the war,
should now, the war being won, be
donated to help keep veterans of
the Cross'' free from want and worry
The purpose and plan of this cam
paign have received the following

Aerial Patrol Against Forest Fire. Planned


WASHINGTON, D. C.-Captive bal
looms and military airplanes will guard
and patrol portions of the national
forests Of California, Arizona, New
Mexico and other Western States this
summer to help in detecting and sup
pressing forest fires. The exact areas
to be covered and the extent to which
this system of aerial patrol will be
Employed are to be determined by the
Secretary of Agriculture and the
Secretary of War.
One Of the interesting methods to
b g tested is to be the bombing of fires
to quench them. 1t is believed that
grenades and bombs charged with
suitable chemicals will produce good
results. There are to be experiments
also with the plan of transporting fire.
fighters by dirigibles from which lad
ders can be lowered to the ground.
In the beginning the planes and bal
looms will be used primarily and al
most wholly for detecting fires.
Lookouts in a broken coun try ira
versed by deep canyons or ridges
which obstruct the view, or in fat
areas which afford no advantageous
points of observation, are often un-
able to note fires quickly by the ris-
ing smoke and then locate them def
nitely. For precise location the

lation through reports telephoned
from separate points. Airplan es
would use wireless in reporting fires,
just as they have been employed to
direct the fire of artillery.

these qualities will have little trouble
in consulting with the government ad-
visers with whom he discusses the
training he desires.
Representatives of the federal board
are busy in the great reconstruction
hospitals, making preliminary investi-
cations of men about to be discharged.
Sometimes it proves comparatively
easy to place a man in a good job;
training isn't always needed. The board
acts as an employment agency to a
considerable extent. But it's great task
is to seek out the men who have to
be re-educated, or who, never having
had the opportunity to secure an edu-
cation, can take advantage of this
chance.
No attempt has been made so far
to place disabled men in special schools
for cripples or to segregate them in
any way for training or other pur-
poses. Experience has shown that such
segregation is harmful and that the
more disabled man is thrown with
his fellow men who are strong and
healthy, the quicker will be his re-
covery and the more readily will he
absorb training. For this reason use
is being made of existing educational
and trade schools throughout the
country.
More than 100000 disabled men have
already sought the assistance of the
federal board Of vocational education,
and new cases come into the central
office in Washington and to the four
teen branch offices at the rate of
500 a day. There are about 5000 men
to take the training and efforts are
being made to get disabled men to
take training just as quickly as pos
sible after they leave the army. When
it is considered that more than $4,000
disabled men left army hospitals be-
fore they could be told about the
board, the figures of those who have
shown their interest are encouraging.

Dispute Over Mountain

Tacoma and Seattle, away up in
Washington, and other communities
out in that direction, are having
wordy wrangle over what is called the
great mountain that towers to the
clouds "just across the river" 1t is
set down in the geography as Mount
Rainier, but the people of Tacoma call
it Mount Tacoma, and now there is a
considerable number of persons in this
country who want it named after the
late Colonel Roosevelt-they want it
called Mount Roosevelt
The name Rainier" was given the
mountain by the Canadians, in honor
of a British admiral of that name who
sank an American vessel during the
Revolutionary war. Naturally, the
name is not especially popular on this
side of the border. The Indians
called it "Tacoma"-the tribe itself
bore the same name, which means sim
ply "the mountain" The Tacoma In
dians were "the Mountain Indians"

He will get for his living expenses, if
he lives alone, at least $75 per month.
If his compensation does not amount
to that, the federal board will make
up the difference. His dependents, If
he has any, will receive the allotmentS
that went to them while he was on
active service-at least $50 per month
to his wife and $40 to each minor
child.
1t might seem, offhand, that no man
could need any persuasion to take ad-
vantage of such opportunities as the
federal board offers. But it isn't
quite so simple If a man is in a hos
pital, a long way from home, and he
receives letters from his family urging
him to return as soon as he can, with
promises of love and care and rest
and comfort; if he is pretty tired
after long spell of illness and con-
finement, he doesn't feel much like
making a new effort.
He may feel that it isn't necessary.
He may know that he can get a job,
at higher wages than he ever got be-
fore, without taking any training at
all.
There is an anSWer-and good one
to every one of these arguments
against vocational training for men
disabled in war.
1t isn't good for a man who might
be able to take care of himself, if he
made an effort, to turn that job over
to anyone else, no matter how closely
they are related to him. 1t saps his
self-respect.
He can go home for a little while j:
he can have a furlough before he
starts his training. Often he can
get his training SO close to his home
that he can live at home. And even
if the training does involve a separa-
tion, how about the way he'll feel
five, ten, fifteen years from now?
mean compared with the comfort, the
stability, the self-respect he will get
with his training?
And then, suppose he can get job
at good wages just as he is? How
long can he hold it? Sooner or later
he will have to face the competition
of men who are strong and healthy.
He can meet them on even terms
only if he has training. Sentiment, in
the long run, doesn't count much in
the matter of employment. The an
cient law of supply and demand hasn't
been repealed yet.
Experience has shown that in other
countries where something of the same
plan being carried out by the federal
board has been tried, the majority of
the men who train get better jobs than
those they had before they went into
the service Investigation has shown.
also, that few professions or trades or
vocations are too difficult for dis
abed man, provided he has the ability
to fill them and the grit to prepare
himself to handle them. The govern
ment is anxious to encourage initia-
tive and individuality in every possible
way, and the disabled man who shows
Arizona state miner., 1919-10-17

millions of dollars to the value Of his
output, has developed many new
products, and, in consequence, lowered
the cost of many others.
But the idea of salvaging human ma
terial is new. Of all the factors that
go to make up industry the wastage of
labor has in the past been the least
considered. 1t became rather the ac-
cepted fact that disabled man should
be looked upon as fit only for the scrap
heap and that instead of being an
asset to himself and the nation he
was liability; that he should become
a charge upon the rest of his fellow
citizens, unproductive but consuming.
Although the world was waking to
the unsoundness of this view before
the war began, it remained for the
awakened consciousness of men that
came with the war to look at this
fact in a more human as we'll as a
more economic way, particularly when
it came to the reclaiming of wound
ed soldiers. Perhaps the very number
of those disabled forced the nations
engaged in the war to look about for
a solution of the problem of the
wounded men, but with interest once
aroused in the subject it has become
apparent that it will not stop with
the soldier and that eventually the
injured worker in any line of indus
try or commerce will be taken care Of.
AS matter of fact, many of the
great industries already have dis
covered new fields for disabled men.
Estimates of the surgeon-general
served in the army have received dis
abilities of such a character that a
large number of them will need special
education or training to re-establish
them in civil life where they will be
economically independent
The government wants every dis
abled man to fit himself, by special
training, to fill at least as useful
and important place as was his be-
fore he was disabled. The only way
he can do that is through training.
Therefore the government has pro-
vided training. in addition to insurance
and compensation. Every man who is
entitled to compensation is entitled to
training And the federal board for
vocational education stands ready to
see that he gets tiff he wants it.
There's the rub-if he wants it: if
he will take it.
There are no limits to the train
ing a man can get. He may go to
college or law school or an agricultu-
raj college or to a school of medicine.
He can have the course, no matter
how long it takes or how much it
costs. Or he can be put in shop
or a factory to learn trade and paid
while he is learning.
