LONDON, July 22.-Germany's reply
to the French security note is received
very favorably by the London morning
newspapers. They say that the tone is
friendly, gives the impression Of Ber-
Inns sincerity and justifies hope that
the negotiations for security pact now
will proceed toward settlement although
this is not necessarily in the immediate
view.
Some commentators, however, regret
that Germany raised controversial

FORESTATION GAINS

This has been constructive year in forestry egls
lation. Seventy-nine important statutes enact
ed by state legislatures, many Of these laws dealing
with the fundamental problems of taxation and fire
protection.
The yield tax" plan which puts only nominal
taxation on acreage during the trees term of growth
and taxes the timber crop only when harvested is
making considerable headway. Louisiana established
that tax principle long ago. Michigan has adopted
such plan this year. Minnesota has such plan
which needs only ratification by popular vote. Cali
forna is Submitting constitutional amend en its
citizens providing for the exemption Of growing trees
from taxation.
There now 26 states with specific laws encour-
aging reforesaton. In addition to this public action
so great commercial forest companies have started
reforestaton under these helpful laws.
Yet with all this encouraging news and imposing
array Of legislative advancemens it should be rcaz-
ed that the merest beginning has been made So great
has our forest waste been all through history that
successful restoration of the forests calls for ggan-
tic efforts Millions of idle acres still await the work
of the intelligent forester. Fires still wipe out other
millions OF acres of noble trees Wasteful numbering
mt .hods still taking their toll of the woods There
is still much to be done toward refores alton from the
education of the public to the planting Of trees

HIGHWAY THIEVES

1t is possible that automobile tourists believe fruit
and vegetables cost the farmer nothing that they
lust grow" in abundance on the farms? Some such
queer notion that to be the kndest way to ex
plain the freedom with which passing motorists turn
vandal and help themselves to fruit from waysde
chards and vegetables from garden patches.
According to an estimate of the New York State
Farm Bureau Federation, farmers in that state are
robbed Of than 100000 in produce year, not
by bandits actual thieves, but by otherwise honest
motorists who casually help themselves to what they
like the looks of without offering to make any
sating payment
The situation has become so serious in New York
that the Farm Bureau is organizing vigilance commit
tees to protect various farm communities Farmers in
other states along wellraveed highways will be TAX
ing similar steps before long if the depredations
tinue.
The individual motorist who his
petty pilfering by the fact that there is much
that the little he takes won't be missed is making two
bad mistakes He is forgetting to multiply his
handful of grapes apples whatever it is by the
number of motorists who will pass that way and
take their handfus too He also forgetting that TAX
ing anohers property earnings without permission
or compensation is just plain stealing.

LET'S SUPPORT THE SERVICE BUREAU

The service bureau established by the Woman
Ten Thousand Club is real community enterprise
and worthy of the best support Of citizens More
persons should avail themselves of its facilities.
The bureau instituted for the purpose of bring
ing the employer and the person seeking work to-
gether. The service is entirely gratis and is main
tanned for mutual convenience Those requiring help
register their wants with the bureau and those seek
ing employment file their names. member of the
club committee in charge of the bureau attends at regu
lar hours to take of the service The office is at
Worth.
The Press urges its readers to show its apprecia-
ton of the service that has been established through
the enterprise of the Womans Ten Thousand Club by
patronizng the bureau To the rancher who wishes to
get hold of extra help in hurry 1t should prove
great boon. The housewife can always get in touch
with reliable person to do some work around her
home, woman to help clean house, or man to tidy
up the garden. The merchant and the other business
men would also do we'll keep the bureau in mind the
next time they wish to put on some more help.
The bureau does not by any means conflne Its ac-
tvities to obtaining employment of the more or less
casual kind. 1t can do far than that. The SER
vice covers help of all kinds Through its connections
it supply persons for practically any kind of
position.
If the bureau is only given the right kind of sup
port it can be developed into an important branch of
community activity. There all kinds of fine people
who to the valley in search of employment. They
the best type of citizens many of them and they
only need helping hand at first to get settled After
they once get located they get by themselves.
1t is the function of the clubs service to get employ
ers in touch with these folks.
So let's get behind the bureau and give it the sup
port that it merits.

DAD GETS CHANCE
NOW TO SHARE IN
CHRISTMAS JOYS

Someone at last has thought of
Dad--Dad the Santa Claus of all
American families who has for years
interpreted the beatitude-"1t is
more blessed to give than to re-
ccive.
Now dad will not have to buy
mother a shaving mug tor Christmas
in order to have the benefits of the
yuletidc season of gifts. Nor need
sister be cnvious Of brother s glft.
The "kevs to happiness y will
unlock with equal facility dad s door
as well as that Of the rest of the
family..
This has come about through a
unique feature Of Christmas giving
originated by Studebaker in pro
viding in a jewel box the "keys to
happiness. y
The KEYS are to Studebakcr car.
The Jewel box with its contents
comes on the Christmas tree or III
the family stocking, and is Dad 3
present for the family. The ear it.
self is delivered at thc curb and dad
himself has chance to enjoy it.
There are more motor ears III
America than there are telephones.
The automobile is almost as ncccs-
sarv TO the American family as n
, kitchen table or n cook stove. Until
recently, obtaining n ear presented
a distinct problem to many famil-
ics--a problem now solved by Stude
bakers s budget payment plan.
The "key TO happiness enables
the head of the family now to kill
two birds with one stone--to lump
! the family Christmas expenditures
iuto one sum as n down payment on
car. and thus provide the family
not only with an elaborate Christ
mas present. but one which is most
serviceable the entire year through.

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-11-21

The militant children of the workers
will spread the message far and wide
of the class solidarity of all the work
ers' children in the struggle against
the bourgeoisie rule.
Each group of the Young Pioneers
will set up campaign committee to
guide the struggle of the children in
the specific schools. Studies will be
made of the conditions in the various
schools and concrete demands based
upon these conditions will be formu-
lated and linked up with the general
slogans of the, campaign. Meetings
will be arranged to which will be In
vited the older brothers, sisters and
parents Of the Young Pioneers. Spe-
cial efforts will be made to concen-
trate on schools where there are large
numbers of Negro children to draw
them into the struggle.
Special efforts win be made by the
children to- spread mass propaganda
thruout the schools on the issues Of
the campaign. The slogans and de-
mands will be distributed in leaflet
form, in bulletin form and chalked
on the blackboards and side walks
of the schools. When the teachers
spread the pro-boss propaganda dur
ing this week the children will ques-
ton the teachers in a systematic
fashion and endeavor to turn the or
binary class room procedure into that
of a discussion.
Experience in the American Com
munist children's movement proves
that the child of the worker can and
does make an excellent fighter in
the class struggle. The mis-educators
of the American legion, the bureau OF
education and the American educa.
ton association will be answered by
the militant struggle Of the workers
children.
