.one cent was illegally, improperly,
cor, 30 far as we know, unwisely ex-
pended. The campaign for the for
sestry amendment to authorize the es-
Establishment of permanent state for

the forestry association.
The governor ought to remember
that in 1919 when the big fires oc-
.eurred, most Of the experienced men
OF the forest service were in France,
that the appropriation was small,
that labor was difficult to obtain,

men had been placed on duty. Warn

vide stronger fire protection. Ex-
Icept for this action and the system

OF the forest rangers, backed up by
every means at our disposal, the loss
of life and property undoubtedly
would have been much greater.
Many Prosecutions
prosecutions under the forest
laws were as numerous and as drastic
as the attitude of the courts would
Justify. Ever since the forest serv-
ice was organized there has been a
gradual strengthening of the law en-
[forcement activities on the part OF
the rangers and an increase in the
rproportion of convictions obtained;
1t seems best not to go too far ahead
of public sentiment in this matter,
since a high proportion thrown out
of court would only lessen respect
for the forest laws.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March "a
New light on the sources of the BIZ
Bile is eagerly sought by critics and
commentators the world over. The
startling discoveries in the Valley of
the Kings have so occupied public
attention that some less vivid, but
perhaps more important, have escap-
ed general notice. From Glasgow,
Scotland, comes the account of the
discovery Of Biblical manuscript in
Egypt which may be of the greatest
Importance. According to this ac-
count about 100 miles north of Tut
ankh-Amen's tomb in the Valley
of the Kings at Luxor lies the
once important village of Quarrel
kebir on the right side of the Nile.
Here last winter members Of the
British school Of archaeology were
excavating among the rubbish heaps,
and one day broken earthenware
jar was dug up. One of them saw a
sand-eolored rag In the jar, which
proved to be bag, and in the bag
were inscribed papyrus leaves. Fur
her examination showed that the

that the unfair, high-handed treat,
ment given Mr.. Cox will be effective
in turning good foresters away from
the state of Minnesota"
Since his dismissal by the packed
forestry board on orders from Gov
ernor Preus, Cox has received many
letters from the foremost conserva,
tionists of the country, praising his
work in Minnesota and condemning
the action of the Preus board. Some
of these follow:
Letter From Federal Man
From A. B. Greeley, chief forester
United States forest service, Wash
ington.
My Dear Cox: was much surprised
and shocked at the news which we re-
ceived at the end of last week regard
ing the action of the state board OF
forestry in relieving you of the du-
ties of state forester. / had sup
posed that the acute phases of this
controversy had been passed, for the
time being, at least, and that your
continued work in Minnesota was as
sured.
The fundamental issue in this con-
troversy, as l have understood it, is
not personal one, but the policy
which the state is to follow in re-
gard to the disposition and admins
tration of it's own forest lands.
have felt that you were absolutely
right in the policies which you have
endeavored to have the state adopt
and follow in the preservation and
conservative use of it's own forest re-
sources; and it certainly will be q
severe setback to forest conservation
in the United States if the forester's
office leads to a reversal or impair
ment of the program which you have
sought to bring about in the admin
istration Of the forest lands of the
state.
would be glad to learn what you
may have in mind as to your future
course and plans, and also how you
think the change will affect the for
est policies of the state. If you
have any tentative plans or ideas in
view in which | could be of any as
sistance to you, | will be glad to have
you write me freely and fully regard
ing them.
lou nave put up a splendid hght,
Coxey, and | believe the great ma
jority of the people of the state are
with you. | hope that the action of
the state board does not mark the
end of this fight.
Whenever you have the time, write
me all about it, and let me know par
ticularly if there are any ways in
which l can be of help to you per-
sonally."

TRIAL OF AMERICANS
IS CALLED TRAVESTY
Four Men Held for Alleged
Assault, Established Per.
feet Alibis

PITTSBURGH, PA, March "a
Keen indignation is expressed at the
treatment accorded four reputable
American citizens of western Penn
sylvania, as the result of a farcial
hearing in the office of Squire Fred
Stuhlmiller, Wednesday of this week,
when the quartet was arraigned on
charges of assault and battery and
rioting, growing out of the alleged
kidnapping of an aged foreigner at
Dravosburg several weeks ago, during
which the newspapers said EARNED
and hooded men dragged the man
from his bed and to the street"
Perfect alibis were established by
the four defendants as to their pres
ence elsewhere at the identical time
the alleged violation was perpetrated
and the aged foreigner, a cripple,
and said to be gaining his livelihood
by bootlegging, testified that he did
not know who the men were that had
kidnapped him and did not say that
the men arraigned were the guilty
ones. No one else saw the men ex-
cept the officers at the police sta
tion, and they did not testify that
the men arraigned were those who
had taken the foreigner from his
home to the police station.
AT one point in the proceedings,
Squire Stuhlmiller virtually closed
the case by going to his cabinet and
securing blanks necessary to hold
the men for court, telling their at
torney that che had made up his
mind already" and considered it I'M
necessary to listen further. One of
the warrants, it has been reported,
had been made out for Claude Hen
dershot, but when it was shown he
had an alibi, and it was reported his
name was scratched off the official
warrant, and that of his brother
George substituted.
Spectators at the hearing indicat-
ed that little irregularities such as
this received very littlee attention
from the court.
All were held for court trial, but
it is firmly believed that when the
cases reach the Allegheny county
grand jury their absurdity will have
reached such stage that the jury
men will spend little, if any, time on
them.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March "a.
That the melting pot does not al
ways melt and that this country has
an unduly large number of unassimi-
lated and unassimilable foreigners,
is contended by many friends of the
proposed new immigration law which
will materially cut the number of
nationals of other countries now be-
ing welcomed to these shores under
the present law.
Miss Olive M. Jones, president of
the National Education association,
believes that while the teaching of
English to incoming foreigners is
important, il is stressed too much to
the exclusion of the reason for that
teaching. She says:
People coming to the United
States today are not dangerous to us
because they cannot speak English,
but because they are coming from
lands which have no conception of
our American point of view. Our
Americanization work should be aim
ed at converting and evangelizing the

AMERICANS URGED TO
Use THEIR BALLOTS
Federal District Attorney For
Kansas Delivers Strong
Address

MARYSVILLE, KAN, March o.
A plea to every voter to go to the
polls in the coming political cam
paign and cast a vote was made by
AL F. Williams, United States dis
trict attorney for Kansas, in a
speech at the Republican county con-
vention here recently. Williams,
who is one of the staunch Americans
of Kansas, and who incidentally is
not a candidate for any office, de-
clared that many states allowed from
7 to 9 per cent of the total voters of
the district to represent them in
congress. Williams seldom misses an
opportunity to thress the necessity of
keeping America American and be-
cause of his oratorical ability and
the substantial nature of his
speeches, he is in constant demand as
a speaker at public functions.

Badly Strang

Badly Strang, the impsrsonst-
or of Harry Lauder, comes by the
rare Scotch brogue naturally, as
both his father and mother came
from the land where simple food
and fresh air create the physical
marvels of the Scottish highlands.
Mr.. Strang is over six feet tall
and in his march around the stage
playing the Scotcbman's favorite
instrument-the bagpipe pre-
sents an imposing appearance.
Mr.. Strang was with the Chau-
tauqua last summer and won thu,
warmest kind of appreciation
from the Coulee audience, and
everyone is delighted that he is
to be with US again at the Gregg
Theatre, on the evening of
March 10th, 1924.

Clean up? In February, with
the ground covered with mud? 1t
can't be done You say. Well,
perhaps not all of it, but pres
emily it will not be February.
The mud will have gone, and it
will have left an accumulation
of odds and ends which have been
in the process of collection all
winter. And while ali of the ac-
tual work cannot be done just
now, if we don't get into the
right attitude on the subject in
February we are not likely to do
really frst-c class job Of clean
ing up in May.
Let's see if we can't fix the old
town up this spring so that there
will not be a corner of it that we
need be ashamed of. There are
many things that we can't do,
things that are desirable. but
which will have to wait. But if
we will we can polish the place up
from end to end and MAKE it clean
and wholesome, good to look at
and good to live in.
This will involve something
more than hauling out the litter
ana gathering up the ashes. Il
will mean a mending Of fences
repair Of gates, the collection
and removal to a place where it
will not be an eycsore of the stuff

that is lying around loose and
that nobody wants. 1t will mean
a little lumber and few nails,
some paint and a lot of labor.
The material need not cost much
and the labor is of the class that
pays for itself while it is being
done, for it enables the doer to
see the results of his handiwork
as he goes along.
Learn to laugh. A good laugh
is better than medicine. Learn
how to tell a story A we'll told
story is as welcome as sunbeam.
Learn to keep your troubles to
yourself. The world is too busy
to care for your ills and sorrows.
Learn to hide your pains and
aches under a smile. No one
cares whether you have the head
ache, ckache or rheumatism.
Don't cry. Tears dowell enough
in novels but are out Of place in
real life. Learn to meet your
friends with a smile and a joke.
Life is too serious business, to
to play it without relaxing.

Use and Abuse Of Iodine in
Accidents

At recent meeting of the con-
ference board of physicians in indus
Try. some valuable hints on the use
of iodine in industrial and other ac-
cidents We're embodied in a recon-
mendation which has Just been made
public by the physicians organiza :
ton. Noted medical men attending
the sessions reported that the mis-
Use of iodine often leads to unsatis-
factory results.
"Tincture OF iodine" saws the
statement of the physicians, should
bc used only in and around the
wound. 1t should be applied wiiein
eight hours after the injury occurs
the sooner the better. Every skin.
no matter how clean it may appear,
has thousands of germs on it's sur
race ready to poison n fresh wound
before nature can build a defense
against them. II application OF TO-
dine is delayed beyond eight hours
the germs will have grown into the
wound so deeply that the iodine
will not reach them.
1T should not be applied too strong
as sometimes occurs when the solu-
ton has been made stronger by leav-
ing the cork out of the bottle and
allowing the contents to evaporate.
Apply folds OF gauze (bandage. no:
cotton) directly to the wound. Never
soak the gauze in iodine as this will
burn the skin. Never use tfncturA
of iodine on unbroken skin surfaces
as it frequently initiates and often
blisters. producing in turn a wound
that may become poisoned
In other words. apply tincture OF
iodine Immediately, or as soon as
possible after the injury occurs:
apply only once: apply TO the wound
it self and the skin immediately sur
rounding. Do not apply too strong
ror to unbroken skin surfaces"
