We are in receipt of an invitation
to the 10Th annual Reunion of the
"Old Associates Of Coal Creek, Iowa"
This is a community affair instituted
by the younger generation of Quak-
ers, among whom we spent our child
hood and youth, and from whom we
received much of the better part of
our early ideals.
The invitation brings up train of
reminiscence which is, in the main,
pleasant, and while we would not ex-
change our mesa, climate and friends
here for them again, we do warm up
to a world which is so good that the
"Old Associates" are just common
people in it.

The most acceptable remembrance
we have received Of late was box of
superb cherries, great big black-red
fellows with flavor all their own
the gift of Mr.. and Mrs. f. A. Sar-
gent, of South Tacoma, Washington.
The letter accompanying the box
expresses regret that we might not
have samples of a dozen other variet-
les in which they revel. Mr.. Sar-
gent is still jewelry salesman, and
the Griner Sisters are camping out
picking raspberries and other wild
fruit.
They claim to be in the greatest
cherry country in the world and the
sample convinces us. Greeting is sent
to all friends here.

Nels Benson had an experience last
week which will teach him lesson in
caution. He picked up man from
the road recently and taught him to
drive his tractor, giving him a good
job and good pay, Friday he let the
fellow have his car to come to town
and gave him signed check to the
Continental Oil Co. with which to buy
a barrel of oil and bring back. The
tramp failed to come back and Nels
came in to find his car had been left
at the shed, but the man was gone and
the check had been altered to read to
the tramp instead of the Oil Co. and
the amount filled in, $500, which
he had secured at the bank and ''beat
it,.
Tracers are after him but he had a
long start and the best that Nels can
hope is that he will be caught and re-
formed by law.

The Mesa Cooperative Co. has
prevailed upon Wolcott L. Russell, to
accept, tentatively, the position of
Manager for the business they plan
to start in the near future in Roy
Mr.. Russell still has his own busi-
ness of selling tractors, autos and
other farm machinery to attend to,
but he has consented to assist the Co.
op., for time at least, until suitable
arrangements can be made. The con-
tractors are getting along fine with
the new elevator, and will be ready
to handle wheat as soon as the bulk of
it will be marketed. Most of the
wheat crop is being stored and will
quietly wait till the manipulators are
through with the market.
1t will take rather long run of
manufactured financial depression to
force this crop all onto the market at
low price.

To Conserve the Forests.

The second Southern Forestry
Congress was held in New Orleans
January $3.50. The meeting was
largely attended by foresters and
forest conservationists from all parts
of the south. Commissioner Alexan-
der of the state department of con-
servation announced that his depart
ment would ask the next legislature
for the entire severance tax on tim
Der, for forestry purposes, to be ex-
pended for fire protection, reforesta-
ton and the purchase of state forests
At present IA one-ffth of thu :
is available for forestry, and tss
fund he said has p yen entirely too
small for the prol Elton of Louisi-
ana's future timbeh He advocated
the purchase by thEsstate Of at least
/ 100000 acres Of 5..he poorest lands
to be converted into state forests and
Isaid that in future years these would
yield splendid revenue, thereby re-
ducing taxation. Chief Forester IL.
is. Graves Of the United States forest
service, delivered an address in
which he declared, that at the present
rate of cutting the virgin pine forests
of the south will last about ten or
fifteen years more, and that the rapid
cutting of southern hardwood, was
even a more serious matter as these
kind of timber is nearing exhaus-
ton elsewhere in America and the
south is the last source of supply
| He predicted that the production OF
hardwoods on rough land or in over
flow areas would soon become ex'
tremely profitable.

FOR RELIEF OF ARMENIANs.
Campaign to Raise Funds to Succor
STARVING NAtion

: Starving skipn 81
"a nation-Wide ca1flp IGN is being
conducted this month for the raising
OF funds for the relief Of the perse.
cuted, starving and dying Armenians
That the American people are realiz-
ing the necessity of giving help to
these distressed people is evidenced
by the fact that at a meeting held in
New York few days agoxthe sum of
81 ,021, 900 was subscribed to this
worthy cause. In speech delivered
at Kansas City Sept, s, 1919, Presi-
dent Wilson said of the Armenians:
"There is one pitiful example which
is in the hearts of all of us. l mean
the example of the Armenians. They
are Christian people, helpless, at
the mercy of the Turkish government,
which thought it the service of God
to destroy them. Great populations
are driven out upon a desert where
there is no food-and can be none,
and they are compelled to die. There
men, women and children are thrown
into a common grave, so imperfectly
covered up that here and there is a
pitiful arm stretched out to heaven i;
but is there no pity in the world?
When shall we awake to the moral
responsibilities of this great occa-
sion?"
The committee in charge of this
relief work in Louisiana is composed
of Gov. R. G. Pleasant, Mayor Mar
tin Behrman of New Orleans, T..
New. Ford, P H. Saunders and Jas.
