- spreading Of fires just now,
which is due to recent showers, is
but temporary unless more precipi-
tatiOn follows. The present not
weather conditions are very favor
able to the spread of fire. 1t is no
time to relax effort to prevent fires,
but rather a time to increase care
and vigilance. Brush burning should
not be done on any account; campers
and smokers should heed the warn
ing to put out every spark; every
citizen, in fact should consider him
self special lookout and patrolman
to prevent and report fires, and to
caution those who are careless or
ignorant of the present danger to use
e%Jeme care with fire at ali times.
Ocal forest officers are exerting
every effort to prevent and suppress
forest fires, and to apprehend those
who through carelessness or malic-
iousness are the cause OF fires, and
they solicit the cooperation and sup
port of all good citizens in this
work. It is your National Forest,
which cOnserves your timber, irriga-
ton water and forage; and within
its 5oundaries is found your favorite
hunting and fishing grounds as well
as camping spOts-and, it is your
money that is spent suppressing the
fires, so as a matter of business, if
nothing else, you should render ev-
cry assistance possible to eliminate
man-caused fires.

He received varying offers
|couched in various disguises of
financial assistance to himself" said
Mr. Marshall, IF he would align
himself with the so-called cause of
peace These efforts eliminated in
a visit from a person who told him
that word from him would not
only stop the production of muni-
tions of war, but would stop the
shipping of them. and that if he
gave the word he could name his
own price.
ITO this he replied that he worked
for the American Federation of
Labor for the salary which it paid
him, that he had no income from any
other source and would never have
any"
