kEEF CLOSE GUARD
OVER THE FORESTS

The season of the year is at mana
when there should be an increased
vigilance to prevent forest fires. me
forests lands are beginning to dry out
and fires at this season are more
serious than at any other time OF the
year. In recognition Of this fact the
Conservation Department is increas-
ing it's number of rangers, and citi-
zens generally are asked to render
them every assistance in their power
not only in putting out fires, but In
guarding against tleir occurance.
Fires in the forest not only destroy
the trees, which are becoming scarcer
and more valuable yearly, but they
also destroy or permanently injure
the ranges, destroy the nesting
places of birds and squirrels and
other small animals, and do an in
finite amount of injury otherwise.
In increasing its force of rangers
the Conservation Department hopes
to minimize the injury done by these
fires, but it cannot hope TO succeed
to any extent unless 1t has the earn.
est cooperation of the people of the
neighborhood. The deliberate setting
fire to forests by ill-informed PERSONS,
for one purpose or another, is now
prohibited by law, and serious penal
ties are attached to the custom. This
setting fire to the woods for the pur-
pose of improving the range. or Of
destroying ticks, was some years ago
not uncommon, and a heavy price is
now being paid for the ill-advised act.
Forest fires injure, they do not i'm.
prove the range, and they do not kill
ticks. There is no benefit to result
from their occurrence in any case.
Their effect is always bad, and no
valid excuse can be found for their
practice They annually destroy mill
ions of dollars worth Of property and
1t times are destructive OF human
life. Fires IN the forests should be
fought as vigorously as those in
settled communities. for while they
are not as common they are usually
more injurious, the property loss IN
each case being generally greater.

STUDY OF HABITS

During the past month R. L. Bar.

fana Conservation Department, res
cued about 800 paddlefish, or spoon.
bill cats, about foot long, in borrow
pits along the Red River, tagged them
with aluminium tags and released
them in the main stream. The fish
were rescued near Lucas, La both
the State and the Federal authorities
have been interested number of
years In the natural history of this
fish, with view of the artificial
propagation OF the species, which is
valuable food, and whose roe is. esps-
cially valuable In the manufacture Of
caviar.
The growing scarcity Of the fish
and its commercial value have aroused
the interest of the Federal govern
ment, and led to investigations into
its life history, with particular at.
tentiop to its breeding habits. At
present the breeding grounds, the
exact temperature and time and
manner of mating of the fish are un-
known. The rapidity of growth, the
time of attainment of sexual maturity,
seasonable migrations and their
causes are matters of conjecture only.
In fact the fish, unusual in appear
ance because of its long spatulate
bill, Is something of mystery.
The tagging done at Lucas may re-
suit in the solution of some of the
mysterious features in the life history
Of this fish. The fish were tagged
with small metals labels on which
were stenciled number and the ad-
dress, 80. S. Fisheries, Fairport,

who in the next few years catches

MoB-THINKING in AMERICA

New York. - The United States is
intolerant; it is democratic only in
theory, and is pervaded' by mob-think-

things while lacking high seriousness.
So said Rabbi Stephen S. Wise in a
sermon here on What Is the Matter
with America? During the world war
Said Wise. the United States did not
declare war on Turkey because. it
wished TO protect few million dollars

after the war, when we should have
been helping to avert the near-east
hostilities. we devoted our time to won
dering when France, Belgium, and the
others were going to pay us the mil

is THIS CUBAN LIBERTY
(By The Federated Press)

Washington. A snug post en- a
tropical isle where prohibition does not
vex the thirsty, has been chosen for
w. P. G. Harding, lame duck of the
administration.
Harding is at present governor of
The federal reserve board; but the far
mers CT the country have been de-
manding his scalp ever since the re-
serve board cut off credit to the farm
ers more than year ago. So the an
nouncement is made that President
Harding will send Governor Harding
down 10 Cuba to help Gen. Crowder
administer the $50,000,000 loan that
the Cubans have been forced to take
in Wall Street. Recent reports Of dis
content in tie island indicate that it
will be a job for two men, at least,
with excellent chances that the mar
ines will have to finish the undertake

is THIS CRAFTSMANSHIP?

New York. = The Statesmen" of
the world apparently are doing every
thing in their power to bring ruin to
the strongest nations of Europe. They
are doing all they can to prevent ma
tons from meeting their debts, and the
American government itself in this re-
spect is acting in a manner which does
not differ from the actions of the Eu-
ropean nations in erecting tariff bar
riers which will prevent the import of
goods from debtor nations.
Those statements were made here
by Sir George Paish. British econom-
ist. He did not stop there.
He declared that nothing less than
a resolve of the peoples of all nations
to understand and realize the disas-
trous consequences Of the present dom
inant statesmen, and worldwide de-
mand for drastic changes of policy,
will "avert the catastrophe toward
which the entire world is now moving
with ever-increasing rapidly"

WASHINGTON GOSSIP
(By The Federated Press)

Washington. - M. Parmentier,
French financial agent to the United
States, has taken his revenge upon us
for the failure of his effort to have
! America cancel the French war debt.
No sooner had he got back to Paris
than he gave an interview to L'Opin-,
ion in which he said:
Il have never seen more champaign
than was set before me in the homes
of officials in prohibition America,
But if their drinks were excellent, their
food was not. 1t was melon for break
fast, melon for lunch and melon for
dinnev-and between meals | was
obliged to talk business with Secretary
Melon"
This unguarded reference to cham
payne in the homes of cabinet mem
bers will not cause any embarrassment
in official circles here. The percent
age of executive officers who observe
prohibition is rather smaller than the
number who attend holy communion
We are a prohibition nation in the
same sense that we are Christian NJ
ton, and the eighteenth amendment
does not interfere with pleasure any
more than the ten commandments in
terfere with business.
To Justify his private use of forbid
den fruit juices the lower official,
when accused, has only to point his
finger upward in the scale of execu-
tive personnel, and the nearer one
comes to the top the more completely
is one justified by higher example.
Those to whom the masses look for
guidance are especially frank with re-
porters-so trusting indeed that CORE
spondents are sometimes received in
official audience by one who is visibly
under the influences of refreshment,
which, if outlawed, has apparently lost
none of its ancient virtue.
This circumstance lends piquancy
to what might otherwise be very dry
encounter between the fourth estate
and the executive branch Of the gov
eminent, Questions and answers as
sumo character which quickly shows
how wise is the ruling that nothing
dropped by the official tongue shall
be printed without special permission.

ALLIES ANTICIPATE WAR
WITH EACH OTHER

Washington. ~ Speaking in the pri--
vate auditorium of the war college, to
an audience composed exclusively of
army and navy officers, Secretary of
Commerce Herbert Hoover denounced
the imperialism Of the allied powers.
viewed with alarm the program of the
British Labor party, said there would
be no American recognition of Rus
STA for another four to six years, and
that the nations in Europe which de-
feated Germany have 100000 men
under arms now for use in fighting
each other.
Hoover addressed the War college,
in response to an invitation that he.
tell the students Of war what they
ought to expect from Russia, and what
bearing the war debts and indemnities
have upon the outlook for more wars.
| 1t is held significant that profession
al economist and director of our for
eign trade should be called in to in
struct the men OF war;
Taking first the situation in western
Europe, Hoover pointed to the 3,000.-
600 men still kept under arms and sup
ported by the taxpayers Of the allied
countries which America helped to win
the war. Confronting this huge mill
tary establishment, he said, was the.
little force of 100000 soldiers still pos
sessed by the former central empires.
1t was not, of course, to combat the
100000 remaining Huns" that the
democratic allies were keeping their
100000 men under arms; our pre-
sent allies anticipate wars with each
other and are right now feverishIy at
work forming new alliances and COM
binations for that purpose.
Great Britain, said Hoover, is in
fear of France at this moment. In
spite of English efforts to prevent it,
the French have advanced their lead
e-ship over the continent to a point
where the British find themselves iso-
lated and in danger at every turn.

FARMERS DENoUNCE GRAFT

Washington Denouncing the ship
subsidy measure as a burden to the
masses and menace to prosperity,
100 representatives of Is farm organ
izations assembled here have gone on
record in strong opposition to a pet
plan of the Harding administration.
This action by the national board of
farm organizations is taken simultan-
eously with the announcement that
Harding will call special session of
congress late in November to pass his
ship subsidy bill. The farmers also
demanded that the farm loan bank
regulations be changed to permit of
loans totaling $4,000, instead Of the
present maximum Of $4,000, and
that the loan limitation of 20 per cent
on buildings be raised TO SO per cent.
Selection Of at least one farmer 10 sit
on all government boards and commits
sions was also demanded.

CHILDREN SLAVERY
In AUSTRALIA

Adelaide, South Australia. - The
South Australian government is intro
ducing boy immigrants into that state
for labor on farms. These boys are
being ruthlessly exploited because Of
the conditions allowed by the govern
ment.
They are paid a wage of $3.50 a
week, for which they have to work
from daylight to ,dark. learning the
art of farming. Of this amount only
one dollar is paid weekly to the boys,
the other $3.50 being retained by the
Government and handed to the boys
in a lump sum at the end of the en-
gagements. Out of this sum. so re-
tanned, however, all expenses incurred
in bringing the boys from England is
deducted.
The dollar a week which the boy re-
ceives amounts to 81 dollars a year,
out of which he must provide himself
with clothes, one suit and a pair of
boots, which would run away with the
lot, leaving nothing for recreation or
a holiday.
Labor members in the South Aus
tralian Legislature oppose the scheme
on the ground that it is dishonest, VIC
limitation of the worst kind, and a
form of cheap white slavery.
