Several forest fires are burning
on the Locksaw branch of the
Middlefork, As miles above Koos-

ready burned over between 10000
and $4,000 acres. The fire, how
ever, is in dead timber burned
over in the 1910 fire and is doing
no damage at the present. time. A
large force Of men is fighting the
fire to prevent it reaching valu-
able timber.
Another fire has burned over
about 1000 acres and is still be-
You'd control. This fire is burning
in green timber but the timber is
a scrubby growth and has little
value. There are several other
smaller fires but they are under
control.
The entire force now used by
Supervisor G. F. Howell in fight
ing the fires on the Locksaw num-
bers AS men. but outside aid has
been asked for.
Up to the present time the loss
Of valuable timber has been very
slight but the conditions in the
forests are very unfavorable for
the fires and every pre-
caution is being taken to keep the
fires out Of the valuable timber.

She was doing canteen work in
France during the recent misun-

devoted considerable time to en-
tertaining American soldiers in
one of the hostess houses. Being
capable dancer and attractive,
she was in much demand among
the boys. One evening she danced
several times with a tall, tow-hair-
ed doughboy who showed sylnp-
toms of great lonliness and talked
volubly about things back in
Michigan.
When the evening ended, the
tow-haired one came over to Mrs.
Vanderbilt.
GIVE had bully time he
said, "and I want to keep track
of you. We're moving out of here
tomorrow for the front. But if
we get back, I'd like to look you
up over in the States. My name
is Albert Bridgeman, from Grand
What s yours?"
