Language and Literature.

The genius of a nation is the
source of untold riches; it has been
bred by centuries, dandled by favor
ing circumstances, nurtured and
tutored by a thousand influences; it
has taken to itself a multitude of
discordant elements, transformed
them into a homogeneous whole,
and stamped that whole will, the ma
tional cfhgy and superscription.
Language is the most perfect ex-
preston of a nations genius; it
serves the nations greatest needs; it
has had the, greatest labor bestowed
upon it. Generation after genera
ton has struggled to express in
I language its tenderest love, its pro-
foundest passion, its deepest grief,
its most subtle thought. One man
added word here, another a phrase
there: this man, as with hammer,
beat rough speech into smoothness
and deiicacy, a second rendered 1t
piiable, third fitted it for specula-
ton. Mothers wrought it into a
means OF comforting their babies:
lovers fashioned it into rhetoric OF
compliment; thinkers nodded it into
! substance so light that it is hardly
heavier than thought.
Finally, after a people has labored
for centuries to create national in
strument, literature picks up that in
strument and puts it to her uses.
What literature shall do is deter
mined by that instrument; she has
no choice, she is the creature Of her
tool; she is the handiwork OF
language.-Henry Dwight Sedgwick,
in Literature and Cosmopolitan
ism"

more than u years as cleaner in

Caroline Meyer. aged 81 years, has

U. S. FOREST SERVICE
GATHERS INFORMATION
: ABOUT FOREST FIRES
Preparing Statistics on Extent
to Which Fires Are
ID Caused by Smokers

Washington, Sept. 21.-As basis
for securing, if possible, cooperation
of tobacco users in the reduction of
losses from forest fires, the forest
service Of the United States depart
ment of agriculture is preparing to
gather information as to the extent
to which fires in the woods are due
to smokers.
eve have been gathering statistics
for a number of years as to the
causes of forest fires," said Acting
Forester Sherman today in outlining
the plan, "but these statistics have
not shown under separate heading
fires known to have their origin in
tobacco smoking. All fires started by
hunters and fishermen, for example,
are commonly classed as campers
fires; those started by loggers, to lum-
bermen; and so on. From now on
out men in the field making reports
will be asked to indicate, so far as
they are able, how many fires are
started by smokers. Undoubtedly the
general use Of cigarettes has tended
to make the task of forest protection
more difficult. In the days when
woodsmen and manual laborers usual
ly smoked pipes the danger from
smoking was relatively small.
"A burning cigarette ends seems
such small matter that relatively
few people trouble to be sure that
it is out before tossing it away. In
the western national forests, where
in the summer every spark of fire is
particularly dangerous on account Of
the: dryness Of the vegetation, our
forest rangers have again and again
traced fires back to the point of origin
and found there cigarette butt,
from which the fire had spread fan
wise down the wind. Some of these
cigarette butts lay by the roadside
where they had been tossed from the
cars of automobiles.
Lumber companies some times
forbid smoking in the woods. Restric-
tive measures of this character would
not be called for if smokers had a
sufficiently keen sense of response
bility, and the habit of care not to
drop fire in any FORM"

Estate FORESTRY BOARD
WILL MEET AT ITASCA
STATE PARK SATURDAY
= =. =
r. S. Lycan, Member. of the
Board, Will Submit PROPOSE
ton on Ruggles Tract

r. S. Lycan of this city, a member
Of the State Forestry board, has an
nounced that at the next regular
meeting Of the board to be held on
Saturday, Sept. Is, at Itasca State
park, he will submit to that body
the proposition Of securing the Rug
giles tract at the head of Lake Be-
midi as state park.
The object Of Mr.. Lycan is to Sc
cure the endorsement Of the board
in this project since the Crookston
Lumber company has made such a
generous offer to contribute $4,000
toward purchasing the timber and
the tract for park purposes. The to-
tai cost Of the tract will be approxi-
mately $4,000 including the timber.
The price of the timber is figured at
actual cost to the Crookston Lumber
company as recently purchased from
C. r. Ruggles.
Mr.. Lycan feels that the endorse
ment of such project by the forestry
board will have considerable weight
in final arrangements for securing
the setting aside of this tract.

profiteering ny moral forces in d
huge revolving fund placed in the
hands Of the president by congress,

Cox previously suggested that this
elimination be used to prevent sugar
tprofiteering. but has decided that it
would be applicable to all commod-

Cox's view so far is that vast pur-
chases wouIdrhave to be made by the
moral force having such power, to
eliminate profiteering 1T would be
like the musket behind the door," he
said. The democratic nominee now
