KEEP CLOSE GUARD
OVER THE FoReSr1

The season Of the year Is at hand
whom there should be an increased
vigilance to prevent forest fires. The
forests lands are beginning to dry out
and fires ct this season are more
serious than At any other time Of the
year. In recognition Of this fact the
Conservation Department IL increas-
ing it, number Of rangers, and citi-
Gems generally are asked to render
them every assistance in their power
not only in putting out fires. but In
guarding against their -occurance.
Fires in the forest not only destroy
the trees. which are becoming scarceP
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 It 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. II 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 . heavy price 10
nov being paid for the ill-advised act.
Forest fires injure. they do not i'm
prove the range, and they do not kin
ticks. There 10 no benefit to result
from their occurrence In any case.
Their effect 10 always bad. and no
valid excuse can be found for their
practice. They annually destroy mill
Ions Of dollars worth Of property and
at times are destructive Of human
HE. Fires in the forests should b
fought n vigorously - those In
settled communities. for while they
are not ~ common they are usually
more injurious, the property loss In
each case being generally greater.

to such scenes, which we candidly
confess we regret have come in our
lifetime, it was interesting to sur
vey the procession in formation ct
the polls, each voter waiting his OF
her turn at the ballot box. Young
ladies, who we were surprised would
admit being 81 years old, fair az
the lilly, with cheeks and lips like
unto the opening rose, standing
along side gray-haired grandmothers,
often too infirm to stand unsupport-
ed and not infrequently having to
be given chairs in which to rest
while. those ahead, all talking at
once, were answering the call Of
the" country. But youth and age
alike did their duty and the battle
Of the ballots went merrily on, hap
PLY unaccompanied by unpleasant
ness Of any nature. After the day
was over and the result became
known the victors celebrated, and
when We say celebrated" we mean
all that the word implies or is pos
sible since the 18th Amendment got
by! Bells were rung, fireworks dis
charged, automobiles honked and
men and women cheered and cheered
and then cheered; we may say pam
demonia reigned in happy, good
natured way, and though we regret
to acknowledge, as it would be foolish
to deny, the ladies held the balance
Of power and gave victory to the
winner. We tremble at the thought
Of such day coming to Tensas!

Dear
You realize as fully as / do the
importance of getting the folks to
pay their poll taxes between now and
the S1st Of December, in order that
they may be qualified to vote at the
numerous and important primary
and general elections to be held in
1924.
During that year we will elect the
Governor, and all other State ard
parochial officers, United States SEN
ator, congressman, President of the
United States, etc., and unless the
folks begin to qualify by paying
thsir poll taxes this year, they will
be cut out Of participating in these
elections.
feel that you have given this
matter the same thought that l have,
and my only excuse for bringing
1t to your attention is the necessity
for prompt action.
Wishing you and yours O Merry

No voter can enjoy the privilege
Of the ballot. or, in other words, can
become a voter, if the prerequisites
to voting are not fully complied
with. Among those prerequisites are
registering and paying poll tax. The
former can be done without loss
after January LIST, though it can be
done equally As well now, but the
latter cannot be done after end Of
the year without loss of franchise
for two years. The law requires that
poll tax must be paid for each Of be
two years Immediately preceding
year in which election is held, and
must be paid within the year for
which it is due. Thus 1922 poll tax
must be paid within and not after
the yssr 1922; if paid or If not paid
after the year 1922 is gone the payee
suffers disfranchisement for two
years. So it will be seen that all who
do not pay their poll tax before end
Of the current year-only two weeks
off-wil lose the right to vote during
1928 and 1924, and in the latter
year we will elect state officials and
parish and ward officials, president

the way things are now looking 1t

should ever be our motto, so get
ready now for the time, when it
comes, by paying your poll tax now,
and also register. II you don't do it
