NATIONAL PARK SERVICE
CONTROLS YELLOWSTONE

The soldiers have disappeared a
second time from the Yellowstone
National Park, this time permanent
ly They. were taken out in 1916 by
arrangement between the War De-
partment and the Interior Depart
ment, but Congress ordered them
back in 1917. This year Congress
itself ordered them out and added
the road building and patrol of the
park to the. other functions of the
National Park Service. Originally a
number of national parks were placed
under the control of the War Depart
ment. Yellowstone remained under
its jurisdiction longer than the 9TH
ers because of the fort at Mammoth
Hot Springs. With the passing Of
the soldiers the fine permanent build
ings of Fort Yellowstone came into
possession of the Department of the
Interior.
During the last summer the Ma
tional Park Service organized the
most effective wild animal patrol
which Yellowstone has ever had. 1t
consists of a chief ranger, four as
sistant chief rangers, and 25 rang
ers, all of whom are experienced
scouts of unusual ability. During the
season the ranger force will be
doubled so as to take care Of visitors
and guard against forest fires.
These services will be many times
as effective as that formerly render
ed by several hundred soldiers gath
cred in squads and changed so fire.
quently that few mastered the duties
of game patrol or, in fact, became
greatly interested in 1t.
Under the old system there were
three authorities in the park, the
superintendent, who was responsible
to the Department of the Interior,
the patrolling military, who were re-
sponsible to a general officer in San
Francisco and the Army Engineers
working on the roads, who got their
orders from the War Department In
Washington. At last Yellowstone is
effectively organized under one re-
sponsible head.

YANKEE SOLDIER is
AN ENVIABLE PERSON

Not many fortunes in American
small change are being spent by
General Pershing's fighting men, for
they are not at all like the old-style
private in the days when army pay
was $13 month. This person, It will
he recalled, lost his entire month S
emoluments in Is minutes expert
menting with craps, whereupon he
shrugged his shoulders, commenting
philosophically, "0h, well, easy come,
easy CO."
The new type Yankee enlisted man
isn't like that. lIe Is saving young
man and he sends a good share of
his earnings home TO help out his
wife or any other partial dependents
that he may have. in fact, he sends
back as mucn money as he spends on
himself, If figures from Y. NJ. c. A.
finance reports may lie taken as a
criterion. And they ought to be con-
siGered a fair indication of the wGy
the pay goes.
In the first place tho private
makes an allotment of half his base
pay by government order If he has
any one at home that needs it. And
IL he hasn't the government takes it
and saves it for him. With very few
exceptions, he also is the holder of
government insurance policy, which
takes another bite out of his earn
ings. BY the time his allotment and
his insurance payments have been
deducted there isn't a great deal left.
Yet from this little he manages to
save what in the aggregate amounts
to vast sum.
In four of the five huts from which
figures are available in one Y. VI. C.
A. division, the soldiers sent more
money home than they spent on
themselves in buying canteen sup
plies during the month.
In the other hut, the amount of
merchandise sales was only a small
percentage greater than the home re-
mlttances handled by the Red Tri-
angle. Taking the five huts as a
whole, the difference in favor of the
remittances was over 1850 francs
for the month. One of the huts, the
one whose business in all depart
ments was the biggest of the five,
sent to America almost three times
as much money as 1t received for
sales. All of which shows that the
Yankee soldier is as generous and
thrifty as he is brave and capable
Here are the figures in total: Mer-
chandise sales. 254,2O2 francs, Of
which 562,679 francs represented
canteen sales and 5O5,57O francs re-
mittances to the United States, or
approximately half and half.

MOTION PICTURES TO
HELP FEED HUNGRY WORLD

The motion-picture work of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture has been redirected ance
the signing of the armistice to help
more directly In meeting the needs
Of the world for food.
Secretary of Agriculture Houston
has stated that for a considerable
period the world will have need par
ticularly of larger supply than nor
NAL of live stock, and especially of
fats. We should not fail, therefore,
to adopt every feasible means of
economically increaalng our live
stock products. AS a part OF our
program we should give due thought
10 the securing of an adequate sup
iply of feed stuffs and to the eradi-
cation and control Of all forms of
animal disease"
In carrying out this program the
motion-picture branch is rushing to
completion projects that are deemed
specially necessary for this work,
such as those covering the care and
handling of dairy and beef cattle and
poultry, cleap milk production, hog
feeding and housing, the control and
eradication of hog cholera, of insect
parasites of live stock, and the trans
fer Of cattle from drought-stricken
areas to the corn belt, where feed Is
plentiful.
Since eradication of plant diseases
and OF other factors tending toward
the reduction of human food and ami
NAL feed crops is also essential for
the execution of this plan and in
strengthening the foundations OF
agriculture for the future, the series
of films on the control and preyen-
tion OF grain rusts, and fumigation
OF citrus fruits and the extermina-
ton OF such pests as prairie-dogs
and grasshoppers, which were filmed
during the summer by the depart
ment's camera men, are being moved
ahead rapidly.
Films are also being prepared as
part of the campaign which the For
est Service is making in cooperation
with the Fuel Administration for in
creased wood fuel production and
the substitution OF cordwood for coal
in regions where coal will be scarce
during the winter.
Many features of the depart
ment's work which received little or
no emphasis during the war, such as
game preservation and the develop
ment of recreation on National For
ests, will also be featured in New
films to be released during the win
ter months.

YOU MEN WHO PAY THE
FAMILY SHOE BILLS

Tranping 18 miles day, Mr.. H. M.
Foreman, a mail carrier OF Allentown,
Pa, found that shoes with ordinary
soles last about one month. But he
says a pair Of Ne0lin-soled shoes gave
him more than nine months Of service,
in which time he walked over 1000
miles.
His experience shows how you may
save shoe money by providing your
family with Ne6lin-soled shoes. which
give extra wear where other shoes wear
out quickest.
You can get Neolin-soled shoes in
any type of shoe you want. Prices
are about the same as for shoes that
give only ordinary wear, sometimes
they are even less. II your dealer
hasn't the style you want, he can get
it for you quickly. Remember, Neolin
Soles are created by science to be what
soles should be. They are available
everywhere for re-soling as well as on
new shoes. They are made by The

EXPERIMENT STATION
AFTER TOMATO BLIGHT

Samples of disease resist tomato
strains, four varieties, have been re-
celved at the o. A. C. experiment sta
ton by H. p Barss, plant pathologist,
to be tested for resistance to the so
called western blight, which has cut
down the crop more than half in
many districts of the Columbia river
basin. Blight has been the chief fac
tor in discouraging tomato produc-
tion on a large scale on many of the
best tomato soils of the state. The
tests will be made in cooperation
with county agents as far as possible
but experiments can be conducted on
a limited scale only unless larger

SCOUTS PROUD OF WAR WORK

The Boy Scouts of America have
good reason to, feel proud of the pa
triotic and helpful service they have
rendered to the government in all of
Its wartime activities during the year
Never before In the history Of the
scout movement have organized boys
been able to demonstrate SO thorough
ly their helpfulness. The Fourth Lib
erty loan has left behind it q broader
and more comprehensive vision OF
what scouting in It's truest sense
means to the growing boys of the com
munity and to the nation at large.

can be supplied TO tide Germany over

1t is quite clear from all this that
the world is going to depend more
than ever upon this continent to keep
the wolf from the door until the war
devastated and anarchy-ridden coun-
tries In Europe can once again feed
themselves. Already we read of the
protests of British soldiers occupying
Germany against allowing German
women and children to perish of star

these conditions prevail In Germany

where In Europe among nations which
have fought with US during the last
four years?
To sum up. II may be stated with
confidence that the demand for every
product of the farm will be unprece
dented, and that the ugriculturlst Will
receive the highest prices on record
for all that he has to sell.
The duty of Canada, therefore. Is to
keep up It's work OF assisting In sup

SCOUT ACTIVITY THREATENED

A bill introduced in the House of
Representatives threatens a most in.
teresting scouting activity. 1t is to
further regulate radio communications.
The effect of the bill would be to
prevent any person not connected with
the navy (exceptlng scientists) to have
anything whatever to do with radio
communications.
The reasons for this are not known
Navy officers say that the navy needs
the radio amateur. The work of the
scouts in discovering illegal radio
outfits during the war is well known
The first scout who gave his life
for our country In the world war was
luther Weaver Of Broeklyn, who as q
radio amateur became so proficient
that he was accepted as an operator
on the U. s. transport Alcedo. He
went down with her.

Considerable, discussion Is taking
place in the papers as 10 the amount
OF money that the United States will
have to pay for its guarantee OF the
price Of wheat for 1919. The indica.
lions at present are that the treasury
will not be affected. Instead of wheat
going down the outlook now Is that It
will go considerably above the pres
ent guarantee. 1t is not only the opin-
lon of man Of the experience of Mr.

for this year. and the next year or so,

SCOUTING KEYNOTE FOR 1919

After 1S neaths Of service to the ma
ton in the various phases Of the swim
the-war" program, is seems to be gen.
orally agreed that the Boy Scouts OF
America have now, as never before,
established the movement In the hearts
Of the people.
More than that. the nation, as never
before, realizes the value and i'm
portance Of the scout training and
program In community and national
life.
The country over, our average num-
ber Of registered scouts equals not
quite 8 per cent Of the available boys
of scout age. II less than 100000 reg.
lstered scouts can serve and produce
results, what might the national gov.
ernment expect with million boys
on their toes awaiting its commands !!
Chief Scout Executive James T..
West, in sounding the keynote for 1919.
says:
'It~is our opinion that now, as never
before. Is the time to strongly present
the claims Of scouting for the support
Of the community on comprehensive
basis. We have passed the expert
mental stage. No matter how COM
mendable our intentions may be, we
have no right to fail to do our utmost
to extend the benefits of the boy scout
program to a larger proportion of the
boys Of each community as whole.
Upon those Of us who know what
scouting has done for the boys who
have been members rests an obligation
to do everything within cur power to
have it reach greater number of
