prices of lumber and newsprint early
in the year also contributed to the
growth Of the movement.
The forest service is advocating q
program based on the conviction that
the problem is national and not local,
and must be handled as such. Nation
wide protection from forest fire for
all classes Of forest land, Colonel
Greeley states, is the first and most
essential step. 1t Is his belief that
the police powers of the states offer
the best means Of enforcing reason
able requirements against forest de-
%struction.
Legislation Needed.
The expense of fire protectioc, the
forester says, should be borne Jointly
by the landowner and the public. Ne
holds that federal legislation is need
ed to provide for a comprehensive
plan of cooperation with the states
in fire prevention and the development
Of forestry practice, and the extension
of the national forests through pur-
chases, through the inclusion of other
timber lands now in federal owner
ship and through exchange.
There are still large quantities of
timber in the United States, the re-
port states, but they are mo- in the
right place. More than 60 per cent Of
what is left lies west Of the Great
Plains, far from the bulk of the coun-
try's population, agriculture and
manufacture. The country Is taking
about &c, 900, OOO, 1000 feet Of wood from
forests each year and Is growing only
100000, 200.
Idle Forest Land.
"We have used up our forests with
out growing new Ones" says the re-
port. "At the bottom of the whole
problem is idle forest land. The
United States contains 326, 1000
acres of cut-Over or denuded forest
containing no new timber; S1,OOO,O 900
acres Of this amount have been COM
pletely devastated by forest fires and
methods of cutting which destroy or
prevent new timber growth.
"The area of idle or largely idle
land is being increased by from 3,0OO,-
600 to 100000 acres annually as the
cutting and burning of forests con-
%tinues." These f; cts, together with
the steadily increasing distance be-
tween the average sawInill and the
home builder, "have had a vital bear
ing on the high cost of lumber, which
during the year reached a prOhibitive
figure for many uses and checked the
building Of homes which Is so urgent
nv needed"

HOW CAN WE DO 1T?

De Smet Independent-Well, here
we are in the new year. Now that
we have it, let us treat it better than
we did the last one. How can we
do it? BY showing more confidence,
by exercising a little patience, and
by doing all in our power to keep
things moving in an industrial way,
We may talk about conditions but
do you know that conditions depend
in a considerable degree Upon the
mental attitude of the people. The
mar who does his banking business
in his stocking and refuses to do
what he can in the way of liquid
ating his obligations is one who is
not only injuring himself but his
neighbor. And there are many Of
them today in the United States, as
there are always is in times of de-
preston. Constant talk of hard
times helps to make times harder,
servatism. They are wrong. Pessi,
mism is simply going to the other
extreme. Already times are a little
easier; money is seeking investment
to some extent. AS confidence grows
and radicalism decreases, men OF
money will furnish the funds that
industry requires. Everyone can
help by looking 1t the brighter side
of life. Let's treat the new year
right.

lPrep4red by the United States Department

A demand is growing on the part of
wood-using industries and the public
at large for a national policy of for
estry which will insure adequate fu-
ture supplies of timber and other for
est products, according to Chief For
ester w. b. Greeley. Figures gathered
by the forest service this year, his an
nual report states, showed the extent
of the depletion of the nations for

ton on the fact that the country is
short of growing forests and that
something must be done at once. The

this story:
"There was once a little girl. She
was the daughter of a mother who was
just like her, except older. The mother
thought she was beautiful and she
was very vain. The little girl was
very vain, too.
"And oh, she was very, very con-
ceited.
"Now one day she said that people
were always looking at her because
she was so pretty.
everywhere she went she knew that
she attracted attention.
"She had often asked other little
girls If they hadn't noticed how people
smiled as they passed her and looked
at her pretty face.
"Some of the little girls said they
had never noticed it and so were not
spoken to again. But they had told
the truth at any rate. For she imagined
she was far prettier than she was.
"Yet her imagination and her mother
kept telling her how lovely a creature
she was to look at.
"Now one day she was sitting in the
dining-car of a train. Her mother had
a headache and had had a cup Of tea
taken in to her car.
"The little girl was sitting by her
self in the d%ining-car and very proud
was she to be doing Sc grown-up a
thing.
"a lady came and sat down beside
her. They were going along the shore
of a magnificent river. From time to
time she gazed out.
GAS she did so she could feel the
lady was looking at her. She was
glad she had decided to wear her little
red hat on the journey.
"That was by far her most becoming
hat. She felt the lady was enjoying
looking at her too! For she could have
taken other seats In the car but in
stead had chosen to sit along side Of
her.
"After awhile the little girl looked In
the lady's direction. But she was look
ing at the river admiringly, steadily.
Then she heard her speak to a woman
across the aisle.
"T am Desperate she said, If I
don't get a seat on this side of the
train. for I can never see too much Of
this glorious river
"Now wasn't that the best Joke on
the little girl? Here she had been
thinking she was being admired and
1t was the river being admired all the
time. She lost a great deal Of her
conceit that day and did not talk so
much about her beauty!
81 heard some children telling that
story as they stood in front of me but
I didn't laugh about 1t her as 1t was
during the middle Of the day.
81 like to laugh in the morning just
as birds like to sing her and also in
the evening just as birds do a good
deal Of chattering at that time.
81 think I'll sing a song about my
laughter"
The birds all urged the Laughing
Jackass to do this.

voice a song which in our language

 This situation is not helped by so- called "conferences," which really are nothing but junkets arranged by ver- satle ministers who enjoy a game of golf on the azure coast of the Medit- erranean during the foggy months of winter Nor is 1t improved by the childish belief of the French chamber that the Germans pay only half as much in taxes as the French-if they paid double what they now pay they would be paying more than their to- tai Incomes.

 Open Doors Necessary
 Tho United States needs a conva- leseent, renascent China, not a China held sterile by foreign guardship. The British empire needs a friendly Islam in Mesopotamia, Arabia and India. France needs a physically capable and a willing Germany for reparations. All three, therefore, have a direct interest n keeping Rus sia's three doors open.
 As there Is no present hope of a speedy fusion between Woodrow Will sons League of Nations and the one planned by President Harding, a treaty patterned after the Washing ton four-power agreement, guaran- teeing for 10 years the inviolability Of the possessions of the United States, the British empire. France Germany and Russia would be useful. Each power should pledge itself to consult the other signatories when its vital interests were threatened. and in any dispute between two of them the other three should be con suited
 Such a pact would not burden the United States with European entan- elements, but would control bolshe- vik agitation and obviate the increas- ing danger of revival of the old Anglo French enmity. It would make world disarmament possible. It might civilize and modernize Russia, a huge undertaking which ought to begin this spring with a system of worldwide volunteer labor service in Russia, using those in every land who learned so well how to command dur ing the war.

 With Russia once more at work, equipped with railroads and ma chimes. the bulging warehouses of the exporting nations can be emptied of their goods. With far sighted credit system, the factory fires throughout the world could be re- lighted, the unemployed put back to work, and Russia's neighbors would be strengthened and enabled once more to purchase goods abroad A uarter of a billion white people who
