FOREST PROTECTION
WEEK OBSERNE

Last week was Forest Protection
Week and the efforts of the Depart
ment to educate the Public to the ne
cessity of putting out camp fires and
aid in protecting the forests were Civ
en- a big boost by the local stores,
most of which devoted considerable
window space to the demonstration
of the results of negligence and dis
play of Forest Service posters.
Considerable time was spent on
some of the efforts of window decor
ators to show the difference between
the result of care and negligence and
we believe that the lesson was forced
home so that the campaign was sue
cess. Too much space would be re-
quired to describe all the windows but
we believe that the Leavenworth Mer-
camille Co. is entitled to the banner
for their very successful and repre-
sentative window Their window
showed on one side green hills, pleas
ant meadows, standing forests and
happy campers, while the other side
was in direct contrast, showing =
couple of careless campers who had
neglected their fire and returned to
find the grass burned off, the trees
fallen and even their cabin burned up.
The activities of the week wound
up Saturday evening with wenie
roast attended by a hundred or more
boosters for forest conservation.
The forest guards have been very
easy on those setting fires but each
year are finding it more necessary to
closely watch the campers because OF
the greatly increased numbers and
the great numbers Of those who do
not understand the first rudiments OF
fire protection; but by careful and
gentlemanly instruction they are
rapidly educating the public, and peo-
pie generally are taking it upon
themselves to help protect our for
ests, now that they are learning that
the forests are OURS and not the
property of some mysterious party
called the Forest Service.

GOLD DISCOVERED
IN WASH BASIN BY
LOCAL LADY
FLOWS IN WATER MAINS OF
ACKNOWLEDGMENT SYS-
TEN - EVERYBODY "PANN-
ING"

Gold brought right into the house
through the water pipes is the latest
discovery in this wonderful commun
ity and it is no longer necessary to 60
out and search the mountain streams,
dig and delve and freeze or roast to
procure the shining metal which lured
humanity across thousands of miles
of Indian-infested wilderness in As
and caused the mad rush to Alaska in
'98.
Here in Leavenworth if the good
housewife wants to "raise" little
| dust" all she has to do is take .
kitchen pan, go to the sink and turn
on the water and a golden stream
flows into the pan. She doesn't even
need to pan" it as there is no sanl
or gravel to wash away. All that is
necessary is to let the water run I'M
til enough shining metal is accumu-
lated in the pan to pay the weekly
grocery bills, admission to the
movies" and small residue to pro
vide fund for the winters fuel and
other incidentals, and then "clean up
and the days work is over.
Of course it is admitted that not
every city water system is so con
structed that it will actually deposit
gold-dust in a kitchen basin; gold is
heavy, bankers and miners say, and
it takes a gilt-edged, bonded system
such as the old settlers have been
discussing and cussing for many
years in this city to finally settlc
down to real business and promise to
pay for all the grief and grievous
language engendered on cold morn
ings when the pipes were frozen and
the bathtub had not been filled
against such emergency.
But this will now all be forgotten
and the city dads had better rush the
work on that new 14-inch main and
extend it all the way into town to
meet the demands. for good house
wife only this week noticed particle.
of bright yellow metal in a basin
she was using. She thought it was
gold, her neighbor thought it was
gold and we believe it is god-but the
good woman's husband said it was
only mica. But that is often the way.
Some married folks can not agree. If
| the husband had made the discovery
the wife would probably have said il
was only brass.
But suppose it really is mica. Mica
is used in lubricating oils. Have the
| city dads been oiling the water syS-
tenn in an effort to slip somethinr
over on coniding constituency or
has someone been greasing the mu-
nicipal machine in the hope of slim
ping something over on the city ia
theirs. Mica is also sometimes called
fools gold,' and to judge from the
manner in which we have heard some
Of the older residents speak of then
fellow townsmen's business ability in
public affairs we may expect to be
paid off, if at all, in-''fool's gold" or
something equally valuable.

LOVE COUNTY BOYS
GET MUCH GOOD
FROM STOCK SHOW
Especial to The Ardm0reite)

Marietta, Okla, March 22-Love
county is reported to have made a
very creditable showing at the Fat
Stock Show at Oklahoma City, held
from March IA to March 10, at least
that is the report Of County Agent
r. F. Waters. Love county is essen
TALLY cotton raising county, but
there are a number of herds of fine
cattle to be found here.
The following boys fattened out
Hereford calves and went to the show
with Mr.. Waters: Cecil Waters, Ray
Bondurant, Babe Balthrop, A. X. FL
lis, Charles May, Earl Clark, Lafay'
ette Alexander, Charles Alexander
Ginger" Mckinney, Roy Foster Carl
Foster, Edward Holloway and Jesse
Holloway.
All of the boys were elated over
their splendid trip, but there were
those who were sorely disappointed
when they saw calves so much better
than their own. One boy remarked
I'm ashamed of my calf. thought
he looked good at home, but he looks
like full-blood scrub here" Another
boy said: I'll bet will know how
to do next time"
The Love county boys realized that
they did not have the best calves
but they were glad to see enterprise
and skill of other boys that had pro
duced such fine animals. and they
are determined to come back to tho
stock show in the future with exhibits
more difficult to excel.

ENTENTE DEMANDS PAYMENT
OF ONE BILLION MARKS GOLD
TO APPLY ON REPARA-
TION OBLIGATIONS

Berlin, March 21.-(By the Associ-
ated Press) .-Germany's reply to the
demand of the entente for the pay
ment before March 23. Of one billion
marks gold, to apply on reparations
obligations will be in the negative,
it was unofficially stated today.
The allied reparations commission
in a note sent March 16, demanding
fulfillment by Germany Of article 235
Of the peace treaty notified the Ger
man government that it must pay one
billion marks gold before March %
and that she must complete the pay
ment of twenty billion marks gold
by May /. Germany was given until
April 1 to submit a proposal to pay
the balance of the 20 billion marks,
otherwise than in cash, having the
privilege to bring forward plan for
a foreign relation, the proceeds of
which should be payable to the COM
mission. 1t was announced by the
commission however, that Germany
had virtually refused to pay the bal
ance, asserting that the 20 billion
marks have already been paid in full.
The allied representatives stated that
the greatest sum they could compute
as having been paid by Germany
against this amount could hardly
reach eight billion marks by May l..
1t is, therefore the initial payment
of one billion marks and balance Of
at least II billion marks that the
allies are demanding of the German
government.
