Early. spring grazing in Western
ranges has SO materially reduced the
carrying capacity and forage re-
sources that the forest service, United
States department of agriculture, has
found 1t necessary on many Of the ma
tional forests to shorten the present
grazing season from two to four
weeks. This cut will be put into eff
feet this spring.

Ice" states an official in charge of

it is necessary to produce a maximum

first precaution is to avoid too early
grazing. Every stockman interested

L. linery shop determined to find a
hat that adds at least 20 per cen to
her attractlreness, for such a hat Is
to be found there. There is so great n
variety of shapes and such diversity
of styles that it is not hard to follow
the advice conveyed by that reliable
old millinery adage which says a wom-

than without it. She may choose be-

size, all good style, in endless variety
of shapes and materials and having

smaller than the average, a hat must

essential thing in the matter of becom-

There are quite a number of little
hats with wells of net or lace playing
the most important part in their
adornment. Usually the wells are very

into a deep curve. The new feature
in this frock is the deep border at the
bottom of the skirt of a machine-made
shocking. The same shocking makes
the cuffs. A narrow frill of fine lace
at the neck and a girdle of heavy silk
cord, ending in a long and handsome
tassel, measure up to the quality Of
the dress.
The foulard dress appears to be
made with a tunic, but close in
spection reveals, that u wide, ungath-
cred fiounce of georgette crepe and a
side drapery make the illusion of a
tunic where there is none. The bod
ice is made of blue georgette over
white, with drapery of foulard extend
ing over the shoulders. At the neck
md sleeves the white crepe is extend
ed beyond the blue, making a becOm-
ing finish. There is a wide, plain CIR
die ending in three flat loops at the
left side, made of the foulard.

in his business knows that forage
plants cannot be grazed the instant
they begin to show above the ground.
Such early spring use of the range not
only decreases the density and luxuri-
ance of plant growth, but also reduces
the carrying capacity and the fertility
of the soil, and If continued, ultimate
ly results in waste range.
Plants Grazed Too Early.
"Studies carried on at the Great
Basin experiment station in Utah have
proved that where plants are con-
tinually cut back or cropped, the root
system loses its vitality and the plant
OOH dies. On some of the national
forest ranges, which are grazed early
and heavily, the forage plants are
showing similar signs of serious dam
age, and will rapidly go from bad to
worse If remedial measures are not
put in force. The old grasses, with
their root systems weakened by re-
peated cropping, are almost extcr-
minated and are being replaced by
worthless weeds. Erosion of the soil
has also started In many places and
threatens serious erosion. Expert
ments have shown that off a ten-acre
tract, heavily o~vergrazed, as much as
% tons of earth and rock have fire.
quently been washed down after a few
minutes of heavy rain. These are
some of the things which follow in
the wake of too early use of the range
and from overgrazing.
Later Season Is Best.
"a grazing season that starts later
in the spring, thus giving the forage
plants a chance to develop, and more
careful management of the range, will
do much toward lettering and event
ually eliminating such conditions"

these pretty trimmings-a revival of

Among the hats for midsummer

twenty thousand, shouting and en-

Governor CoX'S speech, which VIC

diose gencralities. clear, frank and
wholly free from evasion-a speech
which any school boy can read and
understand. He said this was Il
time for straight thinking, straight
talking and straight acting. He dis
CuSSed the issues of the campaign
with clearness and stood boldly and
unequivocally for the League of
Nations, if need be with only lin
tcrprefatiUe" reservations to which
President Wilson never objected.
The speech reveals him to the coun-
try as man of force, undeniablc
ability, unquestionable loyalty 10
the people, splendid patriotism anG
large vision. In his speech there
is little pointing with pride" but
much clear and enlightening dis
cussion of policies for the future.
He looks constantly forward never
backward except to draw valuable
lessons from the past.

The New York World thinks ina,
Gov. Cox's chances of election de-
pend upon the kind of appeal he
makes to the great body of liberal
and independent voters. He will
get nowhere by trying to compete
with Senator Harding in the manu-
facturc of platitudes. nor can he
further his candidacy by relying
upon the ordinary methods of or
ganiZation politics. The Republi-
cans will have the money, as they
usually have. They will have The
better organization. as they Away
have.
Unless Governor Cox determines
10 appeal 10 the idealism and the
consciences of the Americap people
his campaign will be wasted effort
Unless he demonstrates that he has
courage and convictions he will APP
pear TO the great majority of the
voters merely as Democratic Hard
ing. and a Democratic Harding is
beaten candidate from the start.
The Republican managers have
challenged Governor Cox TO make
the League of Nations his chief is.
sue. 1t is a challenge that he should
not hesitate moment TO accept.
1t is an issue that he cannot evade
without destroying himself. If the
Democratic party does not repre-
sent the League Of Nations in this
campaign, if ii does not represent
the moral obligation of the United
States 10 exert all its power and in
iluence TO end war and compel dis
armament, if it does not represent
the vast responsibilities incurred
by the United States on the battle
fields of France and the supreme
duty of the republic toward civil
cation, 1t represents nothing except
the ambition of officeseekers.
There is not serious problem
that cOnfronts the American people
which can be ASSOCIATED from the
issues of the World War and from
the issues of the treaty of peace.
There is no isolation left except in
the minds of Republican polite
lans. Nothing of consequence can
happen anywhere in the world
which does not concern us and
which does not affect our national
tranquility and prosperity. With
out political and economic stability
IN Europe, there can be no politi-
cal and economic stability in the
United States.
10 subordinate the League of
Nations is to wreck the Democratic
campaign. The League has become
the symbol of all the great liberal
and progressive policies TO which
the Democratic party is pledged.
1t is not the only issue by any
means but it is the issue by which
Governor Cox's fitness for leader
ship will be tested. Harding can
be puppet and trust to the Re-
publican organization, but Cox
must lead or fail disastrously.
