BETTER PROTECTION
FROM FIRES Is SEEN

More effective forest fire preyen-
ton during the next two years Is
made possible by the $4,000 annual
fund provided by the legislature, w.
r. Cox, state forester, says. 1t was
explained that more than $4,000 a
year is made available, compared
with the previous $4,000 for the
work. 49, J .-. -.
Forester Cox said the increased
funds will enable the forestry de-
partment to maintain more effective
systems of patrol and general police
work and also to better regulate
burning of logging slash and better
inspect conditions along railroads.
The forestry board asked for $780,
600 for the two-year period, assert
ing that the sum was necessary to IN
sure a reasonable measure OF pro-
lection against disasters like that
last fall in the Moose Lake district.
The appropriation of $4,000 a
year just voted includes $4,000 for
REPRESENTATION and $4,000 for office
and travelling expenses, part OF which
goes to protective work. Apprecia-
ton of the assistance given the for
estry board toward securing larger
funds was expressed by the forester.

GET GOOD SEED
TO GET GOOD LAWN

A good lawn depends in a large
measure on the quality Of seed used,
says R. c. Dahlberg, State Seed Lab
oratory, University Farm, st. Paul.
Large quantities Of very low grade
seed are on the market--seed which
under the most favorable conditions
would not produce lawn of which
any one could be proud. This low
grade seed Is put up in packages,
usually Weighing less than a pound,
and sold at price SO low as to make
1t appear bargain. One brand Of
such cheap seed was found to contain
only 8 per cent of seed. The remain
der was chat. Two or three other
brands were found to contain only
about so per cent of seed. Such seed
though apparently cheap, IS in reality
expensive. Such cheap mixtures also
frequently contain in quantity seeds
which are not desirable, as timothy,
meadow grass, and Italian rye grass.
If a whole lawn Is to be newly
seeded, it is probably, advisable to
buy the pure seed and mix 1t at
home A very satisfactory mixture
rs made of Kentucky bluegrass, 80
per cent; redtop. 10 per cent; white
clover, 10 per cent. One-haf pound
of this mixture to the square rod will
be enough. On slopes where the soil
Is likely to wash and where seed
rather than sod is used, it is advis-
able to decrease the bluegrass 10 per
cent and replace with perennial rye
grass The earlier the grass is plant
ed the better.

THOSE WHO CANNOT GO
BY EDWARD A. C. HERMANN
Of the ViaiLantes.

Are you sorry? Or are you glad?
Perhaps you would go if you could,
but you must stay at home.
You cannot be a hero at the battle
front, but you can live heroically wher-
ever you are.
1t takes five men at home to keep
one man in the trenches.
YOU belong to one Of those groups
of five men.
The five men at home must stand to-
gether and do the things that count
most for one man at the front. For
any one man to fail is to play false to
the cause for which we work and they
fight.
You cannot fight, but you can work
and pray; you can love and serve; you
can save carefully and give sacri-
ficially. Above all else you ought to
worship in times of war.
We believe our cause is righteous.
Our faith is justified. Our human in
stincts are not lying to us.
The lofty ideals for which our brave
boys are fighting are the ideals for
which pure Christianity has stood for
1900 years. When the church has
been blind to the vision of the
ideals she has grown weak and I'M
worthy of the great Leader. We stand
with him today for the sanctity Of
womanhood and the protection of chill
dren; for justice and mercy, truth and
righteousness; for Industrial, political
and social democracy; for internation-
al law and universal brotherhood; for
the establishment Of the kingdom Of
God on earth.
These are the great ideals which
carry with them freedom, peace and
happiness for all the future.
After all, true religion is the real
conservator Of civilization and the ul-
innate unifier Of humanity. The fu-
ture of democracy and civilization is
bound up with Christianity.

Frau Won Hindenburgl We're gOing
to Berlin to get your precious kaiser"
"Ya, va" said Louisa sadly. "Such
things must be. 1t stands in the Bible.
Publication by fire. If it's Gods will
we fight, then we fight"
When the teachers had gone to their
rooms Louisa appeared in the office.
"Hark," she whispered to the head
teacher. "My boy has volunteered
for the war. What you think of that?
Isn't that fine? He says: Mother
Louisa, must CO. and I tell him: Go.
We live in America, we are Ameri-
cans'"
One morning when the teachers had
gathered for the morning chat, Louisa
came in, her face shining. "Look," she
said to the young teacher, there is my
boys picture. He is a soldier now.
How grand he looks. He is a sergeant
already"
Louisa gazed lovingly at the post
card picture of q fine looking soldier
boy. "Ha, ha, my fine fellow. Now
you don't turn over and sleep again
while I call you five times more. Ia
tata, Ia tata, TIA ia ia. Forward
march. TELi is fine for you," she
chuckled.
The Liberty Loan posters came.
The big loan drive was on. Louisa
fell in love with one Of the posters.
"Such beautiful young lady. How
strong she is waving the flag and
leading the army. She is schoen, va,
va, she calls for money for the soldiers.
She shall have it. va, va"
CHANGING about to be sure she was
not noticed. She slipped into the office.
Once inside she drew from her pocket
an envelope with the red triangle in
the corner and laid it before the head
teacher. "Look. This money my boy
sends. 1t is the money they give him
for being a good soldier. That money
I never spend. Take it and buy
Liberty Bond" So Louisa went over
the top for Uncle Sam.

THE FLAG SPEAKS
BY THEoDoSIA GARRISON
of the Viuilantes.


Great minds planned me,
High hearts made me,
Strong arms raised me
To fly while life endures;
Fine souls wrought for me,
Brave men fought for me,
Bound and broken sought for me-
Now-I am yours.
The wide world sees me,
The wild seas know me,
The four winds lift me
A signal and fame;
Your youth and your age,
Your hope and heritage,
Your fathers fathers page
That bears your name.
Your hands uphold me.
Your strength sustains me,
Your service honors me
With every task 1t gives.
Hold me your word and worth,
Hold me yosir sword and HEARTH
Hold me yonr sign to earth
That Freedom lives.

THE TEST
BY JOHN BROWN JEWETT

or the Vigiiantes.
This is your crisis, this your hour;
Earth's oceans and its shores
Hold but one place of portent power,
One duty-it is yours.
Think not to hide amid the crowd
That covers land and sea;
The voice of Fate is calling loud;
Look to him, world-'tis he!"
Yes, you-no other None are born
To do what you must do;
No beaten captain waits such scorn
For failure, as must you.
1t is the test, the fine one;-
Shall king or people reign?
Who are the people? There are none
If one is called in vain.
On you the sorrow, blood and cost,
The glory or the shame.
If freedom s cause today is lost,
You only are to blame.
