Forest Commissioner SAMUEL I.
Dana in a communication sent out
Friday to all chief forest fire war;
dens, says that in no field Is it more
true than in forest protection that
AN ounce of prevention is worth
q pound of cure
The fire that never starts does
no damage and one of your import
ant duties is to keep fires from start
ing" continues Commissioner Dana.
This can be done largely through
: education. Every member of the
force should therefore regard himself
ms a missionary called to preach the
gospel of fire protection.
Most of our fires are due to either
y ignorance or carelessness. You can
help to reduce their number by call
ing the attention of the public in
general, and of those going into the
woods in particular to the danger
from fire and to the need for the
utmost care in it's use. Impress
upon them the fact that fire is al
ways dangerous. Teach them to
S handle matches and smoking mater
ials, where and how to build a camp
fire, and how to put it out. Set them
a good example by yourself from
smoking in the woods.
Never lose an opportunity to talk
. things over with fishermen. hunters,
campers, motorists and other travel
ers. Distribute freely the fire pre-
vention tags and literature, but re-
member that a few minutes talk is
worth more than pages of printed
matter. Patrolmon particularly
should regard themselves as educa-
tional agents. The value of their
services is measured rather by the
number of fires they prevent from
starting than by the number they
put out.
Fire warning signs are another
effective method Of reaching the pub
lie. They should be posted where
the danger is greatest, where they
will be seen by the most people. and
where they can be easily read. This
means in general along fishing
streams. canoe routes, highways, and
trails, and at logging and at other
camps and camp sites.
The large 'banger-Drive Care
fully signs should invariably be
placed along automobile routes, and
at points where danger actually
exists. They should be mounted be-
tween cedar posts beside the road,
rather than strung on wires over
head. to be faced so that they may
be read with ease from rapidly ap-
preaching automobile and should be
taken in over winter The small
signs should seldom be posted along
main autmobile roads. but should be

TO $4,000 MARK i'm BUSINESS BOON
March Turns Scale to Better
Times in Kansas.
Merchants Attending n. q.
Course All Optimistic.

Lawrence. Kan, March S.-An up
turn in business in Kansas, due to i'm
proved crop prospects and to an in
crease in building and manufacturing
activities. is forecast by merchants
from all parts of the state, attending
the Merchants Short Course, now in
session at the University of Kansas.
A sreview of trade, based on inter-
terviews with merchants from various
sections of the state, shows January
and February of this year to have been
at a slow ebb, with transactions below
those of the same time last year ana
farmers buying only what their prod
uce would pay for.
Some of the merchants pointed out
that economy practiced by the farmers
was making it possible for them to
bl1v more now, and was leSSen1ng the
difficulty caused by slow collections
growing out of the poor grain crops OF
last year.
The recent snow, general over the
Etate ard the consequent improvement
of crop prospects, plus general
gthening of farm products, have
improved the outlook in farming com
rnunities the merchants declared. and
they believe, with aggressive selling
the turnover of merchandise will be
greater and the sales equal in money
value to those of a year ago..
Caney has been having good busl-
ness all winter and looks forward to
a busy sum nIer, due to construction OF
two railroads, one to Ninitas Okla, and
the other to Pawhuska, Okla. Two

This opinion was expressed today

Doctor Rathenau warned the depu-

He told them the absence Of the
United States from the conference
table would severely restrict the use

would be but another hating place on

Convention Here Thursday.

May Submit Platform for State
Wide Political Campaign.
Governor Allen and Other Or

Kansas tax leaguers will be in To-

at the crowd in public service. Be-
tween 500 and 700 delegates are ex-
pected to attend the convention from
more than, fifty counties. Plans for
a state wide political campaign and a
general survey of public expenses will
be made by the delegates.
There is seemingly a possibility that

Thursday promises to be a decidedly
uncomfortable day for the Industrial
court. the public utilities commission
and the attorney generals office. At
this time it isn't an easy matter to
forecast the extent to which delegates
may romp on the wish bone of these
state departments. There may be a
good many inquiries as to the num-
ber of persons on the pay roll of
various departments. Investiga ton
may also extend to junket /expenses
and particularly to duplication of legal
departments in the state house and
employment of special counsel in the
Howat and oth-- cases.
Several rumors have been current
that the league delegates may at
tempt to endorse an individual candi-

hardly probable at this date, altho
