dead from exposure when found. A
slow, cold rain fell upon him nearly
all night. He lived until Sunday af-

By DIR. EMMETT JAMESON.
We are just a little snort in our sup
ply Of news this week. Nothing has
happened among US that is likely to
excite or arouse curiosity. There have
been no marriages, no fights, no run
away scrapes to relate this week.
However, we are still having some
splendid preaching services, a good
Sunday School, and prayer meeting
services that are very commendable
for the Greenwood Springs commu-
nifty. Brother lines, if you have never
visited in the Greenwood Springs sec
ton in the fall of the year, you have
missed rare opportunity to have
your soul lifted up by the wonderful
natural beauty of the surroundings.
Here the hills, "Rocked-ribbed and
ancient as the sum-" are painted by
the magic hand of Nature in all the
colors of the rainbow. and whether
seen at sunrise, at high noon or in, the
glow of twilight, they arrest ones at
tention in awe and wonder. When we
gaze admiringly upon the scenes here
we are reminded of what the Psalmist
said, II win lift up mine eyes to the
hills, from whence cometh my help"
We are not surprised that the hill peo-
pie are so virile; it is in the very
atmosphere which one breathes of
strength up in this beautiful hill
country, where we drink of the purest
of water as it comes gushing and
sparkling from every hillside. To
him who, in the love of Nature, holdl
communion with her visible forms, she
speaks a various language"
Christmas is rapidly approaching.
Already preparations are being made
BY one and all for a most happy and
glorious Christmas holiday. Already
the children are shooting firecrackers,
reminding us old, grown-up children Of
the long, long ago. Our merchants
are all busy getting their Christmas
goods unpacked and on display. We
note that their shelves are loaded with
beautiful and useful gifts for every
member of the family, from the baby
in its cradle to dear old grandpa and
grandma. We earnestly pray that this
anniversary of the birth of the King
of Kings will bring unailoyed happi-
ness to every home in the land, and a
big, fat, fine turkey gobbler and a
Juicy pumpkin pie to the most worthy
editor of The Dispatch. t.s

HELPED SAVE FORESTS

In the great forest fires which were
destroying Idaho's great timber re-
sources last summer. while forest pa
troll did not come under the jurisdic-
iton of any bureau, every bureau gave
whole hearted assistance. The mem
bers of the fish and game bureau and
the members of the constabulary used
every possible energy toward saving
these resources. 1t was not q question
as to who was responsible, or red tape,
but all fought shoulder to shoulder for
the common state good. In n larger
sense it has been an observation that
this has been a feature of the new cab
met and centralized form of govern
ment, because in all those things af-
fecting the welfare of Idaho there has
been a spirit of unity and spirit Of
cooperation which has been beneficial
to the state.

FARM IMPROVEMENT

The older farm has during the past
season been all fenced with a wo-
ven wire fence, thereby giving us a
source of income for pasturing hogs,
ETC., after crops are removed, such as
we have not had advantage of hereto
fore. When the present management
took charge on March IL, 1919, very little
work had been done the previous fall
in the way of blowing, etc, yet we
were successful in breaking up 80
acres of old alfalfa land as well as
blowing other land so that we were
able to cultivate from last spring s
blowing, garden and all, about 200 acres.

Many days during last summer a.
many as 90 male patients. or about
one-half of our number, were employed
outside in healthful as well az profit

nothing more than employment for our

one-half mile east and north Is 800

Forget, then, that you are sitting
on your own doorstep, or looking
from your own window, and watch
your little neighbor as you would a
creature in the woods.
See how he flattens himself out
and spreads wide his short legs as
he climbs up and down the trunk
of the tree where he has built his
nest. Notice how alert he is, how
quick to take flight at any moving
object, and how he disappears on
the opposite side of the tree where,
though you run to look for him
Immediately, he is not.
On the ground see how he moves
in leaps how he searches for acorns
nuts, or roots and then, with tail
curled up comfortably on his back,
he sets on his launches and eats
what he has found, using his fore
feet like hands.
In the Spring the Gray Squirrels
are very active and, now and then,
you can see one running over the
high branches of big trees, jumping
from one tree to the next and catch
ing a swaying branch with the
sureness of an acrobat leaping
from one swinging trapeze to an
other. Later you may see whole
families of young squirrels at play
scampering over the lawn like kit
tens. Usually the nest is in a hole
in the tree, but is sometimes built
in a crotch of the branches.

We are Making A
Book of the Desert

We are making a little booklet,
IT'S about the desert land
Where the people travel on camels,
Across the beautiful sand.
The winds blow across the desert,
1t carries the sand all around:
1t whirls it up and throws it down
In heaps upon the ground.
The palm trees grow on the desert
We made them very tall,
Away up high in their branches,
Are punches of dates so small!
The people live in little tents,
Which are made from camel'S
hair
They load their things on the
camePs back,
And travel everywhere.

NEIGHBoR GRAY SQUIRREL
By Adelia Belle Beard

By Adelia Belle Beard
You must not think that neighbor
Gray Squirrel is less interesting
than his cousin of the woods, the
Red and Fox Squirrels, just because
he lives next door and you may see
him any day and every day.
TO be sure, like the birds, he will
make his home in almost any vii
lage, town, or park where there
are large trees and where he is pro-
tected, and sometimes he becomes
tame enough to eat from your hand.
but that does not mean that his
nature is changed. AT heart he is
still as wild as any wilderness
animal and he lives according to
laws of the wild.
By making his home most con-
veniently in our midst, Neighbor
Gray Squirrel is giving us a great
chance to study the life and habits
of one of Natures wild children, a
chance we should not miss.
