INDUSTRIES WOULD SUFFER.

AT THE last session of congress
"A bill was introduced Oh. r.
11O72) which practically excludes
Mexican common laborers from the
United States.
The bill was pending and did not
pass when congress adjourned, but
is likely to come up at the new SEES
sion.
Employers of common labor and
practically every industry where
Mexican labor is extensively en-
ployed, would be injured by such
legislation.
Many important industries, at
some season of the year, require
more labor than at others. Much
of this labor is obtained from Mex
leo, and ability to obtain it
promptly is of vital Importance.
Passage of H. R. 1902 would pro-
hibit such labor, with, the result
that when needed to plant or harv-
est the great fruit and truck crops
of the Salt River Valley, or per-
form common labor on our roads,
railroads, ranches, farms or in our
mines. it could not be obtained.
There is the virus of Industrial
disaster in such legislation. 1t is
detrimental to the industries of
many states which need seasonal
labor or labor which will do the
hard work the Mexicans perform
and which is not congenial or
agreeable to white labor.

Labor, rest; thy work is done
Evening sun brings glad cessation,
From thy toll at morn begun;
Thou, the pulse of state and nation.
Labor, rest; thy work is done,
For thy task hold no resentment;
Rather count a vic'try won,
Rather harbor sweet contentment.
To the hands that pillow and sow,
To machines give skilled attention,
Fashion SO all parts are true,
Build the ship, erect the mansion.
To the hands that build the world
From foundation stone to turret,
All our banners are unfurled,
Greater honors yet you merit.
Labor, rest; your work is done.
Homeward to your cosy dwelling,
Filled with comforts you have won,
Joy and hope and love compelling.
No race suicide is here,
Happy, joyful children greet you,
Blessed family ties revere,
Each day as they rush to meet you.
Noble honored life is yours,
Crowned with blessings God has
4 given,
No delays and no detours,
When you start from earth to
heaven.

Mather wrote: "The national park
policy is firmly established on three
broad principles; first, that the
national parks must be maintained
in absolutely unimpaired form for
the use of future generations, as
we'll as those of our own time; sec
ond, that they are set apart for the
use, observation, health and pleas
ure of the people; third, that the
national interest must dictate all
decisions affecting public or private
enterprise in the parks"
The national park service indir-
ectly had it's inception in 1882,
when the Hot Springs in the Ozark
mountains of Arkansas were set
aside as a national reservation for
the purpose of retaining the re-
markable curative waters for the
use of all the people. 1t was not
until forty years late, however,
that the idea of a national park as
a scenic and recreational asset was
developed.
An old Montana pioneer voiced
the first national playground
thought as he sat with a group of
NOR, hofOro q comm firo y11o6o of
the junction of the Firehole and
Gibbon rivers on a September
night in 1870. The men were mem
bers of the Washburn expedition
that was concluding a trip into the
Yellowstone area and WERE awed
by the magnificence of the Won
ders they had found. Several sug-
gestions were made concerning
ways of obtaining possession of and
preserving the amazing ground, be-
fore Cornelius Hedges advanced
the idea that the Yellowstone area
was too marvellous and too great
thing for any private ownership.
He thought the whole region ought
to be set apart as a great national
park and that each one of these
men who had seen it, should make
a determined effort to have this
accomplished. Only one man around
the camp fire chung to his pre-
emption claim idea. The others all
gave Mr.. Hedges suggestion their
instantaneous and enthusiastic ap-
prevail And two years later, in
1872, the Yellowstone national park
was created by act Of congress
the first great recreational national
park.

The San Francisco
Mountains
By JACK O'BRIEN
written for The Winslow Mail

The San Francisco mountains,
That loving Nature made,
Beautiful, at dawn of day,
Enchanting, sun-arrayed.
Inspiring, massive, grandeur,
Their beauty ever win
Praise and admiration,
For the wonder work of Him.
From Hendricks towering peak at
night,
I saw great cities, afar,
1t seemed like another world, TO
me,
And their lights, as brilliant stars.
Again at the dawn of morning,
I saw on the peaks a light,
Twas the early hunter from the
East,
Dispelling the stars of night.
Mountains of white-crowned glory,
Most gorgeous of all, in the land,
Made brighter still, at dawn OF day,
By the hunters magic hand.
Calm. in the glorious sunshine,
The storm god sleeps away,
Tomorrow, sullen, awakening,
In dress. of battle array.
Breaks forth in a voice of thunder,
And the clouded heavens defles,
The battle of the storm god RACES
In the lightning, flashing skies.
Twas here that Mother Nature,
Made Frisco mountains grand
With peaks that eYer point heaven
ward,
To Him, who gave command.
That this sublimal grandeur,
VIII forevermore withstand,
The passing of the sands of time,
In this enchanted land.

scenic masterpieces, the preserVer
of it's wild life and the custodian
of many individual features OF
unique geological, historical and
chronological interest. 1t is bu-
reau of the department of the in
terror
The national park service was
created by act of congress in 1916,
after the great volume of travel the
previous year had demonstrated the
necessity of a distinct service for
the parks. Previous to the crea-
ton of the service, the national
parks were administered through
the office of the secretary OF the
interior In 1915, to prepare for
the unusual crowds attracted to the
west by the Pacific coast exposi-
tions, the secretary of the interior
appointed Stephen T. Mather, "a
Chicago business man with noun
tain top enthusiasm" as his assist
ant, to take over the administra
ton of the national parks. Mr..
Mather saw in the parks great
national economic asset, as well as
a scenic treasure, and when the
national park service was organ
lied in April, 1917, he accepted APP
Jpointment as its director. AS di-
rector, he was charged with the
maintenance, Improvement and pro-
lection of the national parks and
monuments under the jurisdiction
of the interior department, includ-
ing control of the public operators
conducting utilities therein for the
convenience and comfort of visitors.
AT the time the national park
service was created, there were
sixteen national parks and twenty
national monuments administered
by the department of the interior
Now there are nineteen national
marks and thirty-one national mon
nments under it's charge, and
law has passed congress providing
for the twentieth national park
when certain private lands in thu
proposed park area shall have beef
acquired by the government. IN
present area of the national park
is 7,277,7O9.45 acres, and that 0
the monuments is 1892, 1881 acres
The parks and monuments com
prise one-third of one per cent
the total area of the United States
The act of congress creating tn
national park service contains tn
following: 1.-THE service thus eS
tablished shall promote and regt
late the use of the federal area
known as national parks, monl
ments and reservations, hereinaft'
specified, by such means and mea

The Old Tomahawk
By C. G. FANCHER
written for The Winslow Mail.)

Thou'rt smooth and heavy with a
grove and an edge,
And have in thy time struck blows
like a sledge.
Who made you, my friend, and
when did he DO II?
With strong arm to WELD you,
you'd kill and he knew it.
Many a skull have you crushed in
thy time,
Some of them enemies, then-that
others might dine.
Perhaps little children grasped thee
by thy helve,
And willed that you, too, in the
sand bank should delve.
Speak! During your day have
streamers bedecked you?
And after the battle, did thy master
neglect you?
And thrust you all bloody again in
his belt,
Till through anger or danger his
CuullD your OuS0 1SlI.
With patience he wrought you, and

Your creator his labor commenced
with the dawn?
Where now is thy master and all OF
his tribe?
Gone Gone are thy people to Gods
"other side"
Answer, old axe head, or I shall
conjure,
By medicine" strong the truth
to secure.
Axe head, thou'rt lonely-so also
am I,
Thy companions have passed to a
lodge in the sky,
And soon we shall go where our
chieftains have gone,
And never return, for our work is
near done.
Axe head, old timer, best answer
my pleas,
Then back in the cabinet, I'll leave
you in peace,
Leave you to dream of the days
long ago
I'll dust and I'll treasure you, now
do let me know
The story you hide in your old
stony heart;
Come, we live here together, let's
not live apart.
And--after a long time as it lay
there alone,
The axe head did answer in low,
gritty tone.
o! Son of the white race, my story
I'll tell,
I'll speak but this once, so listen
full well.
1 was born Of mountain, flung
high in the blue,
By the mountain in labor-then
bathed in the dew,
Then a great river seized me and
flung me about,
And rolled me, and broke, yet my
heart was still stout.
For hundreds of years I got moth
ing but blows,
Then flung on a sand bar where no
white man goes
Came an Indian there whose eye l
had caught,
Who fashioned me slowly, as you
see I am wrought,
Slowly he worked till he sharpened
an edge,
And through handle my head he
did wedge.
Then polished me well, and shone
in the sun,
His work was finished-mine not
yet begun.
Then away to the war l went with
a rush,
With his hand to guide me, did
many skulls crush,
For, swung by an arm, well backed
by will,
My mission on earth was to MAIN
and to kill.
I've attended the dance, in councils
have sat,
Rode the wild mustang, seen lean
years and fat.
Been owned and used by young
bucks and DID,
Been scorched by the sun, and froz-
en- with cold,
And in all of my years, got nothing
but blows,
And gave nothing else, for as all
the tribe knows,
What is poured in a vessel will
always pour out
Shout at the echo and it gives back
a shout.
And when at last the old chief lay
dead,
They buried me with him-cIose by
his head
The years came and went-till at
last the plow share
Flung me from darkness again in

WOMEN WILL GATHER
At Various Points In the County
to Take Millinery Lessons

"a ten dollar hat for little or moth
ing" is the slogan of the Garrett
county women who are looking for
ward to the arrival Of Miss Knight,
clothing specialist from the Univer-
sity Of Maryland. The last week in
February, Miss Knight and Miss
Greene, who is already known in Gar
rett county as the very competent
home economies worker, will conduct
all-day classes in millinery at central
points throughout the county.
Miss Greene has already met sew
eral groups of women to discuss the
seasons styles and to give prelimi-
nary instructions concerning the MAX
ing of hat.
Everyone, whether she has attend
ed the preliminary meetings or not,
is most cordially invited to attend
Miss Knights classes. If you want to
make a new hat or remodel or retrim
an old one, or if you want just to
watch and 'learn, be on hand at the
scheduled place and date at about
ten o'clock a. NJ, and you'll get the
help of a specialist.
Each one who takes advantage of
this entirely free millinery instruc-
ton is to bring her own materials,
including long, slender needle and
both cotton and silk thread to match
materials.
To cover small shape one yard of
36-inch material or three-fourth of a
yard of 40-inch material is enough,
Miss Greene says. To make a small
straw hat it takes from II to 16 yards
of straw braid. Either new frame
or a becoming old one may be used
and perhaps changed a little
At her phone (No. 132-W) Miss
Green will be glad to answer ques-
lions relatives to the use of old or
new materials in the making of hat
or relative to preparation for Miss
Knights class.
The exact time and the places of
meeting will be announced later. Miss
Knights schedule is as follows:
Grantsville, Tuesday, February "a;
Friendsville, Wednesday, February

PUZZLES AND BRAINS

The Teachers College of Columbia
University, in New York, is conduct
ing a series of crossword puzzle
tests for grammar schools, high
schools, colleges and professional
schools. The purpose is to find out
whether working on crossword puz-
zles is really Observation-Disclosures
it develops and equips the brain for
general usefulness or is a waste of
time and brain power, and whether
the puzzles should be introduced into
all the school courses.
The world may await patiently the
result of this undertaking. But from
general observation of the way hui
man brains function, any observer
may hazard a guess at the forth
coming conclusions of the highbrow
eXperimenters.
They will probably discover again
the familiar fact that we learn to do
anything by doing it, increasing by
experience our mental power and IA
cility-for doing the same thing. AL
so that there may be some slight by
product of power and skill which can
be turned to the doing of other men,
tai tasks.
In other words, the chief benefit
from doing crossword puzzles will be
added ability to do crossword puz-
zles. So, if that is ones chosen life
work, very well-go ahead, and keep
everlastingly at it.
If it is more important to gain
power and facility in mathematics,
language work, history, geography,
physics, chemistry, etc, then perhaps
the schools had better concentrate on
them. For besides being useful in
themselves, they are more likely to
develop the learners mental powers
generally, because they represent or
gained systems of human know
ledge which fit naturally into each
other in the development of all-round
education.
Crossword work merely gives a
glimpse here and there, as the puz-
zle fan chases words and synonyms
through the dictionary and encyclo-
pedia, and the result is not organized
knowledge, but sort of verbal chaos
tending to er-brainedness The
enc thing developed is the will to keep
at thing not worth keeping at, ex-
cept for time-kilHng purposes.

GEOGRAPHY AND PATRIOT
ISM

PATRIOTISM seems to mean different
things to different citizens at differ
ent times. 1t is usually easier to
agree on methods of expressing "de-
votion to the welfare of ones coun-
try" during a war than in times of
peace. This is simply because small
er disagreements are forgotten in the
face Of common emergency and dan
ger. Some people believe that true
lover of country during peace times
helps to prevent war.
Henry David Thoreau, in 1862, in
one of his essays, outlined sort of
patriotism that is too often forgotten
in the present zeal for material pros
perity in this country. Speaking first
OF the comparative size and beauty of
America and Europe, he then wrote:
If the heavens of America appear
infinitely higher, and the stars bright
err, l trust that these facts are sym-
bolical Of the height to which the
philosophy and poetry and religion of
her inhabitants may one day soar.
81 trust that we shall be more i'm
aginative, that our thoughts will be
clearer, fresher, and more ethereal,
as our sky-our understanding more
comprehensive and broader, like our
plains-our intellect generally on a
grander scale, like our thunder and
lightning, our rivers and mountains
and forests-and our hearts shall
even respond in breadth and depth
and grandeur to our inland seas. Per-
chance there will appear to the trav-
eler something, he knows not what,
of joyous and serene, in our very
faces. Else to what end does the
world go on, and why was America
discovered"

GOSSIP

Somebody has said that gossip is a
humming bird with eagle wings and
voice like a fog horn.
1T can be heard from Dan to Beer
shelby and has caused more trouble
than all the feas, ticks, mosquitoes,
coyotes, rattlesnakes, cyclones, earth
quakes, billiards, govt and indiges-
ton this United States has known or
will know when the universe shuts
up shop and begins the final inven-
tory.
'In other words, it has got both
war and hell backed up in corner
yelling for ice water"
The tongue of gossip has ruined
the lives of more women and brought
more good men to grief than all the
blows that ever were struck in hon
est condemnation.
When the first man who ever tried
to start newspaper in America,
back in 1890, went out of business he
had just announced that he would
print in his next issue the names of
all the liars in the city of Boston.
He found it couldn't be done. He
gave up and closed his shop. There
wasn't another newspaper for ten
years and more. That is no refec-
ton on Boston. There were never
any more liars there than in any
other city.
Gossip is a hardy plant. 1t grows
in any soil or no soil. All gossip
needs is a start. 1t never gets any
pruning, but it bears bushels Of fruit
bitter, rotten, yet ever in the
market and ever in demand. Gossip
IS one of the many curses of ignor-
ance-ignorance of the facts after
criminal carelessness about bother
ing to get the facts. Put ignorance
and viciousness together and you
have crime. And gossip is crime.
What wondrous dividends of de-
cency it would pay if all of US would
make it rule to check up on our
selves whenever we have a tidbit to
contribute to the conversational pot!
Do you know what we are talking.
about? To the best of our knowledge
is it true? Have we the facts? And
if we know what we are talking
about and if it is true and if we have
the facts, whom will it hit and hurt?
What purpose will be served by tell
ing it? The habit of gossip is one
of humankind's curious customs of
insiduous cruelty. Think before you
say.
