FOREST PROTECTION WEEK
MAY 22-2S. 1921

Leave a clean camp and a dead fire
A smoking match carelessly thrown
may mean a smoking forest.
Livestock needs grass and water.
Forest fires mean an end of both.
Don't let a blaze from your match
start blaze in the forest.
The great menace to the forests Is
fire, which destroys the timber, dries
up the streams, drives away wild life,
and leaves in its wake ruin and desc
lation.
A lighted match, cigar or cigarette
butt, carelessly thrown to one side in
the woods, may start a forest fire
which requires days Of hard work and
thousands of dollars to control.
minutes count in reporting forest
fires. Avoid delay by using the tele-
phone to call the nearest forest offic-
er.
The national forests are the source
of the streams which supply domes-
tic and irrigation water to millions of
people. Destruction of these forests
by fire means less water for home and
farm use.
Grazing and numbering are two
great industries which are largely de-
pendent upon the national forests.
Forest fires kill the green trees and
destroy the grass.
All national forest headquarters,
and many ranger stations, have tele-
phones. If you discover a forest fire,
call central and ask to be connected
with the nearest forest officer
The laws impose a fine Of $500, or
~ months Imprisonment, or both, for
setting a fire in a national forest and
allowing it to escape from control, OF
for leaving a camp fire without COM
pletely eXtinguishing it.
Carelessness is the cause of most
of the forest fires in the national for
ests. Be careful with fire when in the
woods.
A match started it! The result: \
great forest fire which destroyed tim
Der and property, drove away wild
game, and turned hunting and camp
ing grounds into desoate wastes. The
lesson: Break your match in two
be sure it is out before you throw i
away.
Hundreds of thousands of tourist
visit the national forests each season
Do your part to preserve the scenic
and outdoor attractions of the noun
tains by using care with fire in the
woods.

HORSES COMING BACK

With feeding prices going lower
and gasoline remaining around the

to its own. There seems to be no
doubt, according to c. NJ. Hubbard.
extension livestock specialist of the
State College, that the horse is with
Us to stay.
The returning demand will be for
draft horses, weighing fifteen hun
dred or over, of good draft conforma-
ton, flat boned and sound. MANY
farmers have been letting their pow
err run down because Of old age" saws
Mr.. Hubbard, "and if they do not
breed their mares this spring, the
long delayed horse famine, which is
nearly, upon us, will last just that
much longer.
''In breeding the mares to produce
the type of horse that will be in de-
mand, sire should be selected with
plenty of scale level on top, short of
coupling powerfully muscled, with
clean, heavy, flat bone and entirely
free from unsoundnesS. A stud lack
ing quality is a comparatively cheap
horse.
an Adams county there is held a
horse show each year, with classes
for not only registered drafters but
grades as well. Undoubtedly the part
of the show which appeals most
strongly to the public is the two, four
and SIX horse bitches.
IF the owners of good horses all
over the state, would start to build
up their horses again, and particular
ly stud horse owners, they could
change the sentiment in many neigh
borhoods in a few years time relative
to the use of good draft horses"

AMERlCANISM
BY Thelma Field
Winner of First Prize in the
h. of p. Essay Contest

"Bre3thes there man with soul 50
dead, '' 81
Who never to himself hath said.
THIS is my own, my native land"
Breathes there an American man
or woman, who has not gazed with n.
most sacred reverence at that biz of
color which waves against the blno or
| me gray OF the fathomless skv. and
felt IN his heart a thrill, which he can
neither name nor explain.
We love our God; we call This re.
| llgion; we love our families AMI
friends, we call this human ties. VIII
shall we call this inexpressiblc emo.
ton that makes us willing and pl,d
to render the best that is in MS to
the one land we love?
We shall call this Americanism
Amerlcanism, the great love that
means honor, justice and service. that
means hope and freedom.
1T is somewhat difficult to distinp-
uiSh Amcrlcanlsm from patriotism.
PATRIOTISM may dwell in the minds of
the people of any nation, while Amer
icanism can dwell only in the hearts
VIC 4N''ci iodh people.
The immigrant, who comes info
America, may have heart full of ma
tfiotlsm for his native land. vet if
may take years of experience and ed
ucatlon before he can feel one touch
OF Amerlcanlsm. Time will open his
ewes to what our flag really means.
and he will begin to understand that,
lnasmuch as all nationalites of peo-
PIE compose America, Old Glory is
the flag OF all nations. Under its pro
tectlon, he may find the right to
speak Tor himself and a Square deal"
from his fellow men. He will find a
people who are broad and upright.
and land of opportunities.
why IS America as she is? Because
her first purpose was to gain liberty;
because she fought for freedom. ius-
tlce and humanity; because she has
protected weaker nations from op-
preston. Her people have worked
honestly and inteligently for the
highest standard of human life and
government.
God set his own price on the most
precious things man could desire
freedom and prosperity-andA meri-
ca has paid the price. Let us see
now she has done it.
Remember the tales of the grand
old men of rs whom we proudly call
our forefathers. The courage they
had to match their tiny armies with
those of a world power To fight the
"Redcoats" on the old roads and mead
oWs of Lexington and Concord for the
sake, of breath of freedom. How
blushng Betsy Ross stitched the
snow white purity and the "blood
red courage" of the new American
heart and made the banner that
waves, and God grant, will always
wave over land and sea. How the old
bell rang out the tidings of liberty,
That was the birth of nation!
Yet it was not the powder and the
sword that made the nation, they
only gave the people the right TO
make it. 1t was feeling of the peo-
pie: themselves, the enthusiasm, the
ambition. They then began to work
and build up the nation for which
they had given their service and their
lives.

THE LEAvENWORTH ECHO

have today! Americanism of every
type, in the homes; in the workshops;
IN the schools; and in the hearts of Il
mighty people.
Our country has found the road to
happiness and other nations are
profiting by her example. Our faith
ers nave opened the gate of national
success with their labor and their
lives. 1t is for us to take their work
upon our shoulders and enter in.
80 much for what we have. But
how shall we retain that which We
have gained? By keeping in mind
the creed of Americanism. intelli-
gence, honesty, bravery, faith, self
denial and reverence; by bearing our
little inch of the flag we love; by
making ourselves good citizens. To
do this we must have knowledge Of
the value of good citizenship. We
must be educated to the standard Of
American life, to master ourselves
and to use health, wealth and all that
Is OF value to our country with the
one purpose of service to her.
Our Americanism is not only for
the present but for the future What
Will America be when our work for
her Is done? We look into innocent
eyes for our answer and find that af-
ter all the citizens of tomorrow will
be what our example and our teaching
makes them.
There are just three kinds Of
Americans. The one who has no
Amerlcanism; the one who is "too
busy and the one who is red-blooded
through and through, who sees the
country's faults (she is by no means
without them) and does his best to
correct them. Which are you?
The past has Slipped away and the
time to be an American is now
We cannot dwell in Yesterday,
With the heroes of history.
We cannot see tomorrow,
Through the veil of mystery.
So short the life we live,
So small the steps we take.
Live, oh live in the golden now,
For our country's sake.
See Old Glory waving
In her beauty and her pride,
With her citizens behind her,
And her soldiers by her side.
She's calling, ever calling
To the heart that's true.
Serve her now, pray for her now
The Red, White and Blue.
Now-the time to do our best an
Americans best for America, no
matter which of many occupations
that may be. America asks no more OF
less of us than our best, now and al
ways, in peace and in war, at homo
and abroad.
We go out under the sky and gaze
again at the scenes we love so well,
the yielding fields and forests, the
smoke of the factory, the depth of the
mine, the endless chain of railroads,
the rivers and lakes, and we know
that American industry, the hope Of
the world, rolls on We turn to the
wonder of mountain and plain that
God has placed in the heart of our
country that it might be beautiful
place in which to live. And we do
great honor to the flag when we bow
our heads to Him and pray, ever for
America,
beautiful, for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesty
Above the fluted plain.
America, America,
God she'd His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea-
And for Americansm in the hearts
of the people-forever.
