WOMAN'S L u o
SPECIAL

A special meeting of the Woman's
club was held in the library on Tues
day afternoon for the observance and
study of American Forest Week.
Forst Supervisor j. N. Langworthy
addressed the meeting and brought
out many historical facts in regard
to how interest in our forest fires
grew, the methods of protecting the
forests and the vital need of forests
to any nation or people. 1t is now
fifty years since the need of protect
ing our forests was recognized and
steps along that line were taken. This
is of particular interest in view of the
fact that the Wapiti ranger station
on the Northfork is the oldest ranger
station in the United States.
1t was felt that a very enjoyable
and instructive meeting was held and
the fact was left on the minds of the
members that the greatest need of
the nation is enlightenment on the vi
tai needs of the day.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
LET OTHERS Do IT.

LEI OIdE1iS DO IL.
When I'm too old to ply the pen
And scribble trifles airy,
Tnt going to seek some sylvan glen
And run an apiary.
A million bees I shall employ,
Who through the sunlit hours
Will labor tireless to destroy
My neighbors' lovely flowers.
Transferring from them to my hives
A goodly store of honey
Which 1, when winter time arrives,
Can sell for ready money.
I'll watch them toii-a million strong
On sunny days and gray days,
Each day some sixteen hours long
And never any pay days;
And think of builders and the like
Whose help but rarely ceases
To talk of going on strike, \
Or ask for pay increases.
While my assistants, all adept
At their expert vocation
Will neither ask nor would accept
A cent of compensation.
AS for my neighbors, who have toiled
To raise the fields of clover
Whose nodding blossoms are despoiled
By being crawled all over
know they will not look on me
With pique or irritation
Because the labors of the bee
Help clover propagation.
EACH day, until the sun sets low
Beside my bees I'll linger
The while I watch my fortunes grow
And never lift a finger.
