WEST SCENIC BEAUTY

Persons who wish to place adver-
tising signs within the National For
ests of Oregon and Washington must
obtain permission from a forest Off
Ger, states District Forester Geo. H.
Cecil at Portland, Oregon.
The regulations governing the use
of National Forest lands prohibit the
mutilation, DETACHMENT or deStruc-
ton of objects of natural beauty or
of scenic value on such lands; and
incidentally provide for legal action
towards penalties for violation. Only
those signs which are well construct
ed and slightly will be allowed. All
persons who have already posted
signs on National Forest land will be
requested either to remove them, or
else obtain written permission from
forest officer to continue them,
"The position of the forest service
is that the National Forests at least
should be kept free of Objectionable
advertising signs and only such signs
and notices as are actually of assist
ance to the public should be allow
ed, and these to be small" said Mr.
Cecil.
The indiscriminate placing of ad
vertising signs and billboards along
the roads Of the country has defacec
much of the beauty of the natura
landscape, and campaigns against tht
practice have been waged from time
to time in most parts of the UniteC
States. The matter is of moment no

Community Service

of service to national problems may
be known as Americanism. The Le-
gion has already succeeded in pass
ing or is working to pass in every
state school laws covering the teach
ing of the American constitution. II
is working to build up in the coming
generation vivid realization of what
American citizenship is, what AM
erican institutions are and how and
why they should be respected. Many
states already are carrying out in the
schools complete programs written
BY the Legion which will inspire a
new kind of citizenship in the years
that are not far away.
The Legion is working actively to
combat radicalism. 1t has taken ar
active and very influential stand
against class and sect selfshness and
intolerance in every form. The Le-
gion is working toward the passage
of adequate military and naval de.
fense for the country.
Work Is PRACTICAL.

auves of ex-Senice mems organiza-
tionS in all the allied countries. 1t
aims at such an interchange Of ideas
and such a preservation of the spirit
of comradeship of the war, that con-
lict or even i'll will between late
allies must be impossible.
The Federation has made great
strides in organization. 1t has ex-
pected that even more will be accom-
pliShed after the convention of dele
gates from the allied countries in New
Orleans in October, just prior to the
Legion national convention.
The Legion has always been first
in the fight to obtain justice for the
disabled of the late war. Surely, it
is a genuine community service for
the Legion to lead the way in de-
manding proper care for those COM
rades of ours who came home blind,
manned and broken in health and
body and who must live the war for
even in the homes and hospitals OF
our country.
GAVE THEIR BEST.
These men gave their best that all
of us might enjoy continued safety
and citizenship in this country ol
ours. Certain organizations and a
few individuals have succeeded il
arousing some interest in behalf oI
the disabled veterans but the Am
erican Legion, backed up by tht
press of the country, has not onl,
written, pushed but actually pu
through Congress every bit of legis
lation for the disabled man.
1t is perfectly safe to say that haC
it not been for the Legion, til,
shameful neglect and disgracefu
treatment of these men would still
exist.

lation did not originate with the Am

erican Legion but with Congress.
Legion men were told at their first
convention that national legislators
wanted to know the best way to ad-
just the pay Of the service men. They
said they realized this should be done
but had nearly hundred bills before
them and wanted the thought Of the
Legion. Then the Legion wrote the
fve-fold compensation bill and turn
ed it over without recommendations.
Then, from thousands of platforms
all over the country, the men who
are now representing us down in
Washington promised these four mil
lion men that they were going to
fulfill an obligation. They put the
entire returned service population
in the state of mind where they feel
that they have been promised some
thing-and now are in danger Of
having the promise repudiated.
PUT THEM TO Work.
Through the efforts of the Legion
it now appears that this promise will
not be repudiated.
Recently the Legion has been
bending all its efforts to put every
returned service man to work. The
Legion believes this man should have
chance to earn an honest living
and lead useful life in the nation
he offered hisl ife to save. 1t as the
nations business that this be done.
The Legion has been wonderfully
successful in this effort and feels
that it has accomplished something
that rebounds to the credit Of the
whole nation.
The American Legion knows no
class, sect, creed or division except
between the loyal and disloyal and
the constructive and destructive citi-
zens. Its members feel sure that no
greater field for service to the coun-
try exists than through such a med
ium.

Honey Philosophy for 1922

Since the truth is best, we had ra-
ther inquire than argue. There is
nothing gained in arguing to prove a
point after the manner of the district
attorneys. Argue to ascertain the
truth. When we present our views
it should be to draw the other fel-
lows fire in opposition and from the
outcome to reach the conclusion OF
common sense. We gain more when
we lose an argument than when we
win one, because when we lose we
learn something, while when we win
we only add to our vanity, which is
always more than sufficient for our
own good. Entering into an argu-
ment with our wits is like going to
the grain field with a scythe-a
waste of time If we don't gather the
grain we seek and need.
