Marie Coreli, who died some
days abo at Stratford, England,
was one of the best known nov

spite the fact that she had no
standing whatever with the critics.
OF Italian and Scottish parentage,
she was adopted as d child by the
song writer, Charles Mackey, and
was educated in French con-
vent, where she received a sound
training in music. The success Of
her first novel, "A Romance of
Two Words" determined her car
eer and won her public which
remained faithful despite the jeers
OF the critics, who found her books
melodramatic and crude in style.
But as she often said, she did not
write for the critics, and made It

works for review. Whateyer the

PREVENTING FOREST FIRES

Millions of people are making
their first contact with the wild
wooded areas of the nation. Per-
haps 1t is but natural that they
should make mistakes and heed
lessly cause fires. However, fit
is just as bad form to throw an
unextinguished match or cigaret
on the forest floor as it is to do
the same thing on your hosts
floor.
Here are simple rules which if
observed will go a long way in
reducing the appalling lose of life
and timber in the forests:
Be sure your match is out be-
fore throwing it away, Break it
in two with your fingers.
DON'T throw cigars, cigarets
along the roadside. If you are rid
ing improvise an ash tray in
your machine. A tin can will do.
If you are walking, grind your
stubs, matches and ashes in the
dirt.
Build small camp fires away
from brush and small trees.
Scrape away all leaf mold and
other inflammable material near
your fire.
Never leave your camp fire I'M
watched. A wind may spring up
any minute.
Pour water on your camp fire
when you are finished with it.
Be sure it is dead--then bury it
with dirt or gravel. Don't make
the mistake of burying 1t with

that the Star gives the Western
farmer, and just as good for the
Southern man:
ct is a mistaken notion that
when prices are low because of
overproduction that the remedy
is to take less pains and let the
yields of our acreage and Of our
animals run down. Such practice
leads to but one end-bankrupt
cy. Whatever the price, it is the
man that makes the highest re-
turns on his acres who is most
prosperous. The truth is the
lower the price of the product
the greater the need for high ef-
ficiency in producing it. When
prices are high even mediocre
yields are profitable but such
yields are always Improbable
when the prices are low There

On the rebound, values went

due to the fact that diversified

why it has gripped the interest

Basketball has all of the ele-

1t appeals to the love of good
sportmanship inherent in the true
American boy. Ii is a game. of
