FIRE CARELESSNESS
NEXCUSABLE.
T,HE fire demon is taking an in

THE fire demon is taking an in
creasing toll every year in this
country, on account of careless
folks in the mountains. They ride
in comfortable automobiles, throw
smoking stubs of cigars and cigar
cites into the brush and leave live
Goals in their campfires: Such hab-
it's are dangerous, even in the city
where there are paved streets, tiled
floors and electric stoves; but they
are fatal to the future of our for
ests.
Fires swept over thousands OF
acres of timberland last summer
and fall. The time of year is ap-
preaching again when such fires
may be expected. Every citizen
who goes into the mountains should
have impressed upon his mind in
some manner the tremendous fire
responsibilities that rest upon him
along the roads, trails and in the
camps.

MOODS
By STEPHEN l.. HORTON.
(Written for The Mail.)

My spirit is restless as the brine
less sea
Along whose marge I wander aim
lessly;
My thoughts no part of me express
But seem like driftwood on my
consciousness.
Fer I, like you, when I would wan
der far,
Feel the cold touch of my prison
bar
That drives me back from spaces
free
Into the realm of cold reality.
Content within my little niche must
lie,
can not soar, only reflect the sky.
When stirred by winds that moan
or roar,
l only feel my limitations more

interest, morning, noon and night. "
Senator Winsor is president of
the state senate, as he also was of
the senate of the sixth legislature.
That OF itself is an unusual dis
tinction, for no other man has oc-
cupied the office of the Arizona
senate twice. Senator Winsor is
widely regarded as one of the best
informed and most skillful parIia-
mentarians in the country. He has
represented Yuma county in the
state senate almost continuously
since statehood, and was connected
with number of territorial legis-
latures. His extensive legislative
work, however, by no means repre-.
sents all of his political experience
which began as a student and
writer AS an editor of Arizona
newspapers he displayed an insigh:
into economic and other public
questions and lucidity of express
sion that gave him fame as a jour
nalist. In 1905 he retired from
newspaper work to engage actively
in farming in Yuma valley, and
that, he explains, has been his
business occupation" ever since.
AS might be expected, he is a stu
dent not only of the farmers Gull
tural problems but of his economic
and social problems also.
Senator Winsor was one of Yuma
county's representative in the con-
stitutional convention, of which
body he narrowly missed being the
president. He served with great
distinction, and was chairman of
the important legislative, distribu-
ton of powers and apportionment
committee In a three-cornered
race for the congressional nomina-
ton in the first state primary, he
was defeated by Carl Hayden, soon
afterward becoming the first Sec
rotary to Governor Hunt. This po
sition he resigned to organize the
newly state land commits
sion, being chairman of the COM
mission until it was succeeded oy
the present state land department
consisting of five elective state Of
ficials. He then went back to his

THE ART PRESERVATIVE.

DRINTING has commonly been
called "the art preservative. "
Perhaps some have not quite under
stood why such a term should be
applied. They might get some sug-
gestions by studying recent news
from the eXcavators who are now
finding such remarkable discov-
cries at Kish, in old Mesopotamia,
illustrating the customs of the
Cumerian people about 5000 years
ago.
The relics of that time show a
high state of civilization. 1t sug-
gests that the people of those re-
mote days were very much the
same as those of present times, that
relics are found women's hand
mirrors, vanity cases, manicure
sets, etc.
In many respects it would be
found that the manners of those
times were equally advanced. How
did it happen that race that had
acquired SO much sophistication
was blotted out, until the memory
of its ways was almost obliterated?
The answer is that they did not
have the arts of writing and print
ing. They made records in those
days, consisting chiefly of marks on
blocks of stone and various kinds
of hard material But such records
are clumsy and inconvenient to
handle. Civilization did not be-
come permanent until the arts of
writing and printing became COM
mon, by which people could record
their achievements and ideas on
something of the nature of paper,
which could easily be handled and
passed down from one generation
to the next.

WHITE MOUNTAIN
TROUT
BY JACK O'BRIEN.
(For The Winslow MaiI.)

Within the depths the speckled
beauty moves,
In shaded stream of waters crys-
tai clear,
Or sometimes bounding high above
At Turing bait that ever hovers
near.
Again, with lightning swiftness fits
away
To join another schooloin distant
place;
Returning drifting, playful, gay,
Where lazily he swims with shy
est grace.
Wary, watchful, cautiously he
moves,
With ever-graceful ease from
pool to pool.
The wisest of all mountain fish is
he,
And yet, withal, the greatest fool.
To White Mountains streams of
sweet allure
The Winslow sportsman ever
makes his prayer,
To shaded brooks of running waters
cool,
For a happy joyous time awaits
him there.

| They were fearful for a time that
the terms of peace were not severe
enough on those terrible people
who had caused all this sorrow AMI
suffering.
They were perfectly right in feel
ing that the German people abund-
antly deserved retribution. Our
people will never take much stock
in those theories which some are
promoting so earnestly, that no one
nation was responsible for the war.
They know that the Germans in
vaded peaceful countries whose
neutrality they had sworn to pro-
tect. The Germans may not have
been the only ones to blame, but
they bear the great bulk of the
blame
But the main thing that should
have been kept in mind, when the
peace terms were fixed, was not to
hand out proper retribution for the
sins and mistakes of the past. The
main thing was to fix it so that
there would not be any more wars
If the nations could assure perma-
nent peace, they could well afford
to let the past go.
The peoples of Europe in 1918
almost unanimously wanted peace
and desired no more wars. 1t
would have been wiser to have
built on this foundation, and to
have tried to show a little more
magnanimity in looking at the
past.
The German people were terribly
to blame for maintaining such a
wicked government as the one
that started this war, but as long
as they were disposed to start a re-
publican form of government, it
would have been better policy to
give that government every en-
couragement, and not menace its
overturn by too drastic conditions

When letter without return

Out of every five letters received

think that another Chuck should be

Johnny sat up and looked this way

Chuck. Where could Polly Chuck

this Polly and the stranger might

on that mound was Polly Chuck He

narrow band, sometimes tied in a
little bow.
Quite recently the occasion has
come for an immensely increased in
terest in this type of blouse. This is
due to the suspender skirt, which
appears at it's best when combined
with just this sort of blouse. The
sketch shows one of the new straight
line suspender skirts of navy blue
cloth, worn with a blouse of white
voile showing bright-colored cross
stitch embroidery.
With the peasant blouse designed to
be worn with the suspender skirt the
embroidery appears on sleeves and a
little at the front. However, there
are tunic blouses of the peasant sort
that show elaborate embroidery all
the way down. And these tunic
blouses are we'll chosen for Spring
and Summer, either in cotton voile
or in white or light-tinted crepe de
chine.
