TWO ESSAYS BY COLORADO
FOURTH GRADE PUPIL:
A Careless Camper

One day in summer some people
went out to camp in the Forest. One
man made fire to cook their dinner
After the fire was made they went
to get some fish. When they had
some fish they went back to their
camp.
The other man said, "Let us go
home" Then they went home, for
getting to put the fire out. When
they were gone the fire began to get
bigger and bigger. Soon a little
breeze came and the fire scattered all
around. The trees and soon the
whole forest was on fire.
On the other side of the forest
was house with some women and
children in it.
When they saw the fire they jumped
down the hill. They saw their house
burn up but they could not put it
out.
When the people heard about the
fire they were sorry, but that did
not do any good.
"Better be safe than sorry"

Fire Prevention
Week of May 22nd to 28th

game animals: destroy them and the
wild life disappears.
IL. Fish abound in our well-tim-
bered regions; fires destroy them.
13. Wild flowers of rare beauty
thrive in the forested sections; fires
destroy them and leave an unsightly
landscape.
IA. Every man, woman or child
should be as careful with fire in the
forests as at home. That means
building fires near good water sup
ply; in location sheltered from
strong wind; away from trees, living
or dead, standing or fallen, and from
underbrush; on ground that has been
cleared of all moss, rotten wood and
leaf mould. 1t means building only
as big fire as is needed; it means
building none but absolutely neces-
sary fires in hot, dry weather; it
means being absolutely sure that a
fire is out before leaving it. It
means care with matches, cigars and
| cigarettes, not only while camping
but while riding by railway train OF
automobile. It means making every
| effort to put out a small fire, if one
is discovered: it means reporting lar.
1>ger fires Immediately to the nearest
! ranger.
| Is. Regard for the beauties Of the
forest will keep the lover of the out
of-doors from marring trees by hack
ing off the bark or cutting dowr
young growth, and will impel the
camper to clean up his camps site
thoroughly before leaving it.
Those who recognize their respon
| sibility toward the forest and know
how to behave in it are welcome
They will find rest, recreation, inspir
alton and the most wholesome sort
of pleasure.

REASONS FOR PROTECTING
OUR FORESTS

The forested areas of the United
States represent millions of dollars
in wealth of timber. When manufac-
:tured into lumber and other products
the value is ten times greater.
These areas furnish material for
building purposes and other indus
trial uses, especially for the local
communities.
The greatest asset of the forests
to the states in the Rocky Mountain
region is for watershed protection,
preventing erosion of the mountain
lands with consequent destruction Of
the farming areas. The forests reg
ulate the stream flow by retarding
the run-off of rain and delaying the
melting Of SHOWS. They add mater
tally to the landscape, shelter our
wild life and furnish an inspiration
to all mankind.
The protection of them is a re-
sponsibility of all the people. In
view Of this fact, President Harding
and the Governors of the different
states have set aside the week of
May % to rs as Forest Protection
Week.
Here are a few facts about our
forested regions:
l. Throughout the United States
| vast forest fires have ragged, each
year destroying $20,OOO,0O0 worth of
timber and other property. There
is some natural restocking of burned
areas by healthy young timber but
these must be protected from fire.
There are 81,000,OOO acres, of barren
land suitable only for timber produc-
tion.
2. Our forested regions, laid waste
by destructive logging methods and
by fire, are causing floods, erratic
stream flow, lowering of the water
table and serious erosion. Complete
forest destruction in China has re-
suited in crop failures and the starv-
ing to death this year of millions of
Chinese.
g. Irrigation is dependent upon
water, regulated in its flow bv our
mountain forests where moisture
from melting SHOWS finds it's way
gradually through leaf mould and
crevices of rocks to the streams be-
low or bubbles out IN the form of
springs.
4. The remaining timbered lands
being rocky in the mountain regions
and for the most part gravelly in
the plains states, are unsuited to ag-
riculture, but do supply timber and
are valuable for watershed protec-
tion and furnish forage for domestic
stock and game animals.
5. Forest fires destroy the beauty
of the landscape and allow the soil to
wash away:
6. 81 per cent of the forest, fires
are preventable because they are due
to ignorance and carelessness of -hu-
man beings.
Z. Waterpower development is on
the increase; forest destruction
makes the water flow uncertain. This
enterprise can be stabilized by keep
ing fires out of the forest. <
8. ,35 per cent Of the gross re-
ceipts from the National Forests is
returned to the several states for
schools and roads. Fires destroy
timber and forage and lessen the in
come. ~. ~:.1 f.. .. !.
g. Millions of cattle, horses and
sheep are grazed in the forests; fires
seriously injure this; industry: ,. :.
10. Visitors are crowding our for
ests yearly in Increasingly large mum
bers. Camping places surrounded by
beautiful timber are real joy. No
one cares to camp ia burned over

Russian Recognitione

Certain leading New York bankers
are Of the opinion that some form
Of satisfactory recognition will be &C.
corded to Russia soon by the United
States, probably within six months.
1t is believed that many bankers
and industrial leaders are exerting
themselves in this direction and
formulating plans for the resumption
of business with Russia.
The Russian Socialist Federal Soviet
Republic is not inclined to contend for
those forms Of recognition which have
been customary among nations from
time immemorial, such as the ex.
change of ministers, ambassa dors or
consular agents.

Banking Trust Plans.

Banks are barometers that almost
unfaillingly forecast increasing or de-
creasing prosperity, according to a
statement Of President A. II. Fowle
OF the Premier Finance Company, who
is completing the organization of the
Banking Trust and Mortgage Company
of this city.
He based his statement upon the
ready response Of the subscribers OF
the new bank to the first call for so
per cent of the par value OF their hold
ings.
The call was made for November I,
and Mr.. Fowle says the anticipated
payments have been very gratifying,
as many thousands Of dollars are
being received by the trustees. This
response he regards as a barometric
reading indicating the fullest con-
fidence and prospective prosperity in
the field of finance.
The officers of the Banking Trust
and Mortgage Company have been
notified by the contractors who are
remodeling the temporary bank, 1909
II street, northwest, that the build
ing will surely be completed by
November Is. The charter of the bank
has gone forward, Col. NJ. A. Winter
explained. and we will be ready for
business in a few days after the work
is finished.
The Washington times., 1921-11-02

various other schemes to finance for
eign business, 1t is thought, has IN
fluenced the New York interests TO
let the matter rest until these prop
ositions were disposed Of.
The many schemes for going after
foreign trade which made such a
strong appeal TO the country in the
spring have faded away about as
rapidly as foreign trade itself has
faded. Meantime, every exporting
point in the country is congested
with grain and other products await
ing a foreign market, with no means
OF marketing them. Wheat dropped 6
cents a bushel yesterday and corn 2
cents for that very reason, and the
farmer can see little in the roseate re-
ports of improving business condi-
tons when his wheat is selling at S1.02
and his corn at 46 cents a bushel.
