FOREST FIRES.

Now comes the time when excessive care should be taken to prevent grass, brush and forest fires. The latter often result from the former. The loss is irreparable. The fires in this vicinity noted in yesterdays news reports emphasize the necessity of calling this matter to the attention of all people. A match dropped care- lessly, a burning cigarette, which in- cidentally does not go out until con- sumed, small picnic flre-any of these may start a blaze which will destroy forests of great value or at least a considerable portion of them.
 One of the first things "tenderfeet" learn when they go on camping eX- cursion is to be sure the camp fire is out. They are taught that stamping it "out" so that no smoke arises, is not enough. In some localities it burns down into and beneath the sur face, invisible TOT some ulne, oHly to crop up elsewhere and do it's damage.
 AS appeals to the pocketbook are usually effective mention is made of the fact that to fight fires costs the taxpayers money. The state pays part of the expenses but it is probably that local taxpayers will suffer somewhat in a more direct way if the fires be- come general.
 But entirely aside from other con- alterations people should take the greatest care lest a careless act may result in a great damage through fire as the spring comes on and summer arrives.

SPRING IS HERE

She is here-Spring. The calendar says so; the sunlight says so; the efficient young man in the light check ed suit and cap to match, says so. So it's true.
 Well, what are we going to do about it?
 We are going to grasp hold of the Spring pep that comes and we are go- ing to use 1t, all of us. We are going to believe that with each new evl- dence of the arrival of the glorious, inspiring season of the year, our de- termination to make the most of life, its pleasure, its chances to do things, will grow stronger We are going to bn optimistic, to smile. We are going to speak encouraging words, to make the best of unpleasantnesses, to dig out deeds of thought and kindness that have been resting, forgotten, We are going to work harder, to play harder-and to rest better because of our increased energy.
 For it Is Spring.

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.


 The attitude Of the democratic can didates for the mayoralty as indicat- ed by the suggestion of Alderman Paonessa that the party nominee be selected by ballot of the people, and the acceptance of his suggestion by Joseph M. Halloran, is admirable. It may not be supposed that either can didate for the nomination expects he will lose by the arrangement and the cynics may have the pleasure of de- clar.ng that the mutual willingness to accept the plan is prompted by selfishness.
 This, however, does not destroy the significance of the fact that both are willing to % before their party friends

TOO MUCH FUSS

There is no reason to- become ex- cited over the fact that wealthy young man who drove his automobile faster than the law allows is obliged to spend five days in jail as punish ment for his lawlessness. Probably driving fast was easy for him because he had money enough to buy a fast car, So it was easier for him to make a fight against imprisonment because he had money enough to pay lawyers to make that fight. Everyone knows there Is this unfairness in the law and in life, which embraces law as part Of it. The unfairness permeates every thing and there is no way to get around it except by making everyone equally wealthy: Were it possible to do this the situation would not re- main that way long, for the wastrels would get rid of their money and the energetic, the efficient and the savers would get most of it again. So condl- tions, in a generation or two, would be much as they are today.
 The matter reminds of the story Of a humble clergyman's remark when It was announced that celebrated man of great wealth, was to be buried from his humble church. A few days previously a poor woman, practically without friends, had been laid to rest from that same modest country edi- flee. Someone spoke to the clergyman about the pomp of ceremony which would attend the funeral of the great Mir. Blank.
 "Yes," remarked the minister quiet ly, 'I see no reason why he should not have as fine funeral as did poor Mrs. Roe"

wonId do the world any good.

would do the world any good,
 Probably when it was reported that an apple had hit Isnue Newton on the nose, or thereahouts, and that from d deep consideration of the event Sir Isaac had figured out all about the attraction of gravitation, many pco- pic laughed and "allowed as how" the world would be little better off. So when one Ben Franklin made certain deductions from the appearance of sparks in the noighborhood Of metal key which he had probably taken from the pace where 1t belonged in some kcyhole of door, many peo- pie undoubtedly remarked that the sparks wouldn't trouble them.
 Those unconsdercd discoveries did make d difference to the world-a most decided difference. Hence there is reason to believe that there are latent possibilities in every discovery that every discovery is worthy of re- spect and study. First the discovery. then the practical application of 1t that it may become useful to the world. And discoveries in the world of the mind, in psychology and phil osophy are included in this comment. Only those who do not understand refuse to see any good in gaining of Knowledge in every direction-a fur thcr penetration into the world of the unknown.

ROOSEVELT RELICS"

Guns, knives, chaps and cooking Roosevelt in his cowboy days" out West have been placed on exhibition in New York. They will be viewed with interest. They are suggestive of the primitive instincts of the man when he was alive-suggestive of his strength and love of all that was strong, violent, rugged.
 The man had enemies, energetic opponents, innumerable warm friends. People differed as to his wisdom, his fitness for the high office he filled. People differed as to many of his characteristics.
 But all people agreed that he was man strong enough to fight for the cause he espoused, determined to stick to his guns.
 Were it possible to place a great reservoir of the strength and de- termination and decision of character that was Theodore Roosevelt's where it might not only be viewed but where it might be tapped" by men in pub lie life, the good that would come to this country would be inestimable. No man may reach perfection in wis dom. Theodore Roosevelt did not. But every man may strengthen his determination, his character. A great flood of strength and fearlessness flow ins from such a Roosevelt reservoir over all the country would give it the sort of bath that 1t needs. People will, perhaps, feel this in thinking of the Roosevelt relics" now on view in New York.

The first shock, about 4:30 was not so
generally noticed, though it was quite

about 1926, was even more distinct,
longer continued, and was more gem
orally felt.
For several seconds the latter
shock was felt, causing a rumbling
noise and rattling of buildings that
was often quite alarming. The cen

these boys.
They are fine "bunch" of boys
every one a model patient. The
straneer ones Insist or helping 10
care for the sick ones. They seem to
be one family of brothers.
1t has just occurred to me that, as
these boys have a 75-foot steel flag
pole, and are asking for a flag, that
the boys from Carroll county might
want to be the ones to dedicate a
large flag for these boys. Pm willing
to head the list with donation, I'm
derstand, Pm not asking for it-I
merely thought that Carroll county
might want to do it. The local le-
gion has been talking about it, but
none of their boys are in this institu7
tion, and Carroll county has some here
for treatment.
