Only the slow chisel of time can
carve the truth Of history. That which
we debate holly and surround with
words and eagerness and doubts and
disappointments fades and is forgot
ten. Some simple fact, seldom upon
our tongues and too obvious to be dis
cussed, is left standing against the
horizon.
The beginning of some such revalua-
ton made itself felt on Memorial day
last year. In the commemoration Of
the day here and abroad there was
silent power that all who participated
could not but feel. Tears were nearer
the surface than any one suspected,
memories more poignant. The very
thought of our dead lying in the soil of
France their graves covered with flow
ers by the hands of French women
and French children, the bugles of
their French comrades blowing over
them, stirs the deeps of reverence and
loyalty.
scene in France, in one of the
largest cemeteries in which American
soldiers are buried, is thus beautifully
described
Scene Most Picturesque.
Beyond the wall masses of purple
lilacs spread against the low red roofs
of the houses. In the distance a few
lazy clouds, in sky of blue, hung about
the old cathedral spires. Bird calls
and scent of flowers filled the air. At
our feet low mounds and white
crosses. Above our heads, at half mast,
the Stars and Stripes.
Monsieur Gounelle, in black cassock,
spoke in French and explained to his
people the meaning of Memorial day.
One felt, instinctively, their sympathy
and love.
Then we laid on every grave spray
of flowers and breathed a prayer for
the absent ones Each girl felt per-
sonally responsible for each mound in
the row she decorated. How clear the
names on those crosses stood out even
though a year had passed
The French officers laid a wreath at
the loot or the nag pole and one OF
them spoke with tenderness of the he
roes who had gone on. Already there
hung upon the pole lovely wreaths
from the Vile de Chateauroux, from
the French mothers association, and
other local organizations.
The chaplain from the post at Mon
tierchaume addressed US. and then
three volleys rang out upon the air,
the missives winging their way over
the white crosses and silencing for a
moment the song of the birds. A young
marine faced the flag, saluted and
placed a bugle to his lips. Upon the
warm clear air Of that May day there
fioated down the sweet and plaintive
notes of Taps And-it was finished.

Sidney Jackson:
@HOw To Keep the Forests Green
The people of the state of Idaho
should be proud to own such beautiful
forests as those who clothe her noun
tains in greenness.
Of all the states in the Union. many
of them have things to proud of, but
Idaho has right to be proud of her
beautiful timber as any of them.
Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho
and California have the finest forests
in the United States. They produce
half of the timber in the Union. Is it
not something to be proud of to know
that Idaho is one of those states?
Not only has Idaho such fine forests
but such beautiful scenery.
Have you ever walked through the
tall pines and noted the beautiful view
about you? 1t is a picture no painter
could express. In the topmost boughs
of a tall pine you may see a saucy
squirrel, stuffing his cheeks with nuts
Far in the woods you hear the drum
ming of pheasant on a log, and the
far off tap of woodpecker.
And then did you ever walk out on
burnt off timber land perhaps burnt
off by some thoughtless camper or
hunter, and see the black and charred
logs. There are no little animals
frisking about 1t reminds a person
of a desert with charred logs lying
about. Fire reminds me of a huge
dragon who kills the trees with his
fiery breath and leaves nothing behind
but the black and charred bones.
Is it not a disgrace to think that
Idaho has such thoughtless citizen
that would not put out his campfire
and save all the destruction that twill
cause?
When a man leaves his campfire
burning, does he leave it on purpose?
No, he doesn't think about the destruc-
ton it will cause. 1t is just careless
ness and sometimes laziness, | think.
Why should the whole United States
suffer on account of one thoughtless
camper or hunter?
A hunter may be in a hurry and
leave his fire burning. Probably his
intentions were to put out the fire
but he was in haste and thought, ooh,
well, that little fire won't hurt any
thing" and so he leaves it,
After he has left breeze springs up
and blows a spark into some dry leaves
they catch on fire and the flames
creep up the little branches and soon
there is a raging fire that may take
weeks or even months to quench. Not
only does Idaho lose the fine timber
but the money and even lives spent in
trying to put it out.
The man that leaves his campfire
burning is really committing a rob-
berry, because he not only robs Idaho
of her fine timber but the whole
United States. That man should be
punished for carelessness.
The other states look to us to supply
them with timber, and therefore
think it is the duty of the people Of
the state of Idaho to take pride and
to protect the beautiful timber that she
owns.

Perhaps the highest keynote of
Memorial day, either In this country
or abroad was struck at Suresnes,
the high hill under the guns Of Mt. VAL
erien, overlooking the city of Paris,
to which President Wilson went last
Memorial day to pay his homage to
the several thousand American dead
buried there. The first American mon
ument abroad authorized by the War
department was set up at Suresnes,
France, last year, and unveiled as a
part of the Memorial day observance.

"What | Can Do To Save Our Forests

'What / Can Do To Save Our Forests"
One day last summer when / and my
friend were out riding we discovered
an old rotten log on fire. Although it
was just smoldering, it would have
blazed up quickly if it had been famed
by the breeze. With the aid of knife
and an old can cover which we found
we scraped up enough earth to put the
fire out. Around the log was a lot
of other windfalls and much dead
brush. Farther back from the trail
was tall trees, and as far as we could
see up the mountainside the green
branches of the white pine waved in
the wind. There was much under
brush which would have burned quick
ly AS we looked at the tree top sill
houetted against the sky we pictured
that vast forest which had taken hun
dreds of years to grow going up in
smoke, and all because of the careless
ness of some one in throwing lighted
match or cigarette away. We were
glad we had come along and put the
fire out before it spread larger and
larger and then became a regular for
est fire.
My brother was a fire fighter and at
that very minute was fighting fire
somewhere over on Pack river. He and
many others were saving the forests
from destruction by fire. How could
I help too? Well, if l couldn't fight
fires like man I could at least put
out all small fires or tell a forest
ranger or warden of the ones I couldn't
put out.
On a fishing trip last summer, we
were looking for a good place I'd
camp, and fry our fish. Going around
bend of the creek we discovered a
small fire, burning good. The cans
and bits of food scattered around
showed plainly that someone had
camped there recently. And the fact
that their fire was still burning showed
thae whoever it was, they were very
careless.
"Oh, good% cried companion
"Some kind camper has left his fire
for us. He must have known we were
hungry and too law to build a fire
ourselves" Right then and there
gave that companion a lecture that
hope he will remember. When I had
finished he looked kind of cheap. and
said:
"Oh, well, we can put it out when
we're through"
We made use of the fire but put it
out completely before we left.
There is not much that a child can
do towards preventing forest fires
but all that can be done, should be
done willingly. The "lookouts" can
see most of the fires and report them
to headquarters. But there are some
that cannot be seen by the lookouts
and so headquarters" might not know

Analysis Of Appropri-

Showing by statistics that 90 per

Frank A. Wolf. physicist of the

After describing a series of charts

Dr. L. d. Ball, Assistant Secretary
OF Agriculture, in commenting on
the, lecture by DR.. Wolf, stated that
only 40 per cent of the appropriation
to the Department of Agriculture

research purposes, while the other
90 per cent was used for purposes
which are in reality primary gov
ernment functions.
The government does not expend
any money to help the farmer" Dr..
Ball said. There seems to be an
Impression that the government is
giving something to the farmer. This
Is not true. for the farmer is the
most independent person in the
world.
