CARELEssNEss COSTLY.

During the past season there
were 167 court convictions for
carelessness with fire in the ma
tional forests in Oregon and
Washington, according to re
port just given out by the dis
trict forester's Office at Portland.
A total of 1T cases of careless
ness with fire in the forests were
brought to trial Of which 167
were convicted and 10 declared
to be "not guilty. Fines and
costs in these forest fire law en-
forcement cases amounted to
S1529.1S, while civil damages cov-
ering value of government timber
destroyed amounted to $995l.95,
according to the forester's state
ment. Both Oregon and Wash
ington have laws prohibiting the
leaving Of uneXtinguished fires,
starting fires, or being careless
with fire in the forest; burning
brush without permit during
danger season; there are also
federal laws against such prac-
tees. Forest officers report splen-
did cooperation on the part Of the
justices of the peace and other po-
lice officers Of the two states.
The report shows that the con
victions for leaving unextinguish-

approximately 500 Of the total.

has represented his country at the
Court Of st. James since 1911, and con-
sequently took part in the negotiations
that brought Portugal into the World
war. In an Interview he said:
"One would think to read the news
from Lisbon that they had revolution

There are, to be sure dssensions and
uncertainties. My policy will be, in the

The new president has written books

grandfather had cherished liberal sen
timents and had suffered for them. His

LEAF CURL ON RAsPBERRIEs
BY Arthur Frank
Plant Pathologist Western Wash
ington Experiment Station.

Another trouble that red rasp-
berries are subject to is much
the same in nature as the mosaic.
1t is known as the leaf curl. This
disease also occurs entirely with
in the plant. No organism is
known that causes it. Affected
plants never recover. Once a plant
has this trouble, this plant and all
it's progeny is diseased.
On plants affected with curl the
leaves on the suckers and the
fruiting canes are either much
darker green than normal or they
are a light yellow color, particu-
larly near the ends of the canes.
The leaves have shortened Stem,,
and the leaflets may be arched
and crinkled. The midvein of each
leaflet is arched in or curled down
ward and the margin of the leaves
also. In most cases the leaves
are crinkled due to the arching Ct
the tissue between all the small
veins. Sometimes loss of color
occurs and the tissue between the
veins turn a bronze color.
The effect on the plant from
season to season is for the leaves
to become very small and crinkl-
ed. The canes become dwarfed
thick and stocky. In a few years
the canes become affected so that
they are not more than a foot
high. The fruiting laterals become
upright, dwarfed and bear curled
dark green leaves which are
small. The blossoming occurs
later in the spring than on nor
NAL bush and the fruit that de-
velops is very inferior, being
small, dry and tasteless.
The disease is present and has
been found in certain fields and
occurs on the Cuthbert and the
Marlboro. Leaf curl may spread
indirectly by the use of pruning
shears and during cultivation OF
the fields. The principal way of
its introduction though, is by the
use of the diseased plants, that is.
plants taken from affected plants
The principal method of con
troll is the same as for the con-
troll Of mosaic. Rogueing affected
fields and the use Of healthy plants
only for planting out new fields.

SOVIET DOCUMENTS
Believed GENUINE
Department of State Ignores
Tchitcherin's Charges of
Forgery.

Washington, D. C.-The state de-
partment ignored the charges of for
gerry" made by the soviet foreign min
ister Georges Tchitcherin, concerning
documents made public by Secretary
of State Hughes, which contained al
legged instructions from the soviet
leaders to the Workers Party of Amer.
lea to promote revolution in the
United States.
Secretary Hughes, it was said, will
reserve further comment until the
foreign relations committee OF the,
senate undertakes the promised irsves.
tgation of the Russian situation.
There is no likelihood that the Uni
ted States government will submit toI
arbitration the authenticity of doCu-
ments which the state department
recently made public to show that
revolutionary soviet activities and
propaganda are being conducted in
this country with the object of under
mining the government.
The American government is fully
satisfied with the genuineness of the
communications made public from the
soviet to workers in this country and
believes that to enter any such pro.
ceedings as suggested by Foreign
Minister Tchitcherin in statement
in Moscow would only involve a pro-
ceeding long sought by the Russian
authorities.
Secretary Hughes in his recent
statement, which was transmitted to
Tchitcherin, made it clear that nego-
tiations cannot precede the cessation
of soviet propaganda in the United
States and the adoption of measures
by the Russian authorities to demon
strate their good faith in the discharge
of their first international obligations.
The assertion of Tchitcherin that
the documents are forgeries not only
was expected by American officials
but is regarded by them as a species
of propaganda in itself.

LOWER ANIMALS DESIRE LOVE
Mankind Not the Only Creature That
Is Able to Appreciate Feeling
Of Affection.

A certain hymn tells us that 'the
world is dying for little bit of love-
But have you ever thought that even
as people desire love, so do animals?
All animals-especially dogs-are long
ing for love every day Of their lives.
You can walk down the street and
meet lonesome, ragged. disowned
dog, which, if you will snap your finger
at him and speak kindly to him, will
prick up his ears and wag his tail and
follow you. Some dogs endure so many
kicks and cuffs and so much starvation
that they eagerly grasp at any insig
niticant kindness.
Animals love to be loved almost as
well rs q person does.
Remember this and see that all AMI
mails with whom you come In contac
get some sort Of affection.
A college president once stated tina.
one of the tests of an educated person
was to be able to say that a stray dog
would follow him home.-Exchange
