In the wake expressed views of this newspaper

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

I have been going with a young
man for one year. He has a birth
day soon and / would like to give
him a watch. We are not en-
gagged. Do you think it.would be
proper? A READER.
No, indeed. lady. It will not be
proper. You had better save that
generous present for the man to
whom you will some day be en-
gagged. Else you will have to ex'
plain to this man TO whom you
will some day be engaged why you
gave such a considerable and con-
sequential present to a man to
whom you wre not engaged. And
that won't be so easy or so pleas.
ant!
If this friend Is well-bred and
has a sure social sense he will not
admire you for giving him such
a present He will know that your
enthusiasm for him has triumphed
over your sense Of what is socially
correct. He will know and you
must realize that when a man and
girl are not engaged they should
not give each other considerable
presents, like watches. They have
no right to give each other this
kind of present. If a girl gives
this kind OF present to a man to
whom she is not engaged. she Jays
herself open to all kinds of un'
pleasant criticism. and she will de-
serve 1t. And the irony Of the
whole thing is that the person to
whom she gives the gift, while he
may be delighted to- have a watch.

first to know that she has made a

FARMS, FORESTS
CLOSELY LINKED;
PREVENT FIRES!
American Forest Week Has
Meaning for Farmer as Well
as for City Folk

The Gallatin valley, the "Gem Of
Montana" covers an area Of $500
square miles, and is one of the best
wabered valleys in the state, being
served by Is large natural streams.
An Of these streams have their sources
far back in the wooded mountains
where the green forest cover pre-
vents melting Of snow and rapid run
OFF in the spring, and holds water un-
til it is needed fer irIigating farms
during the crop growing season.
Farms and the forests are closely
linked together. The farmers are the
largest users Of lumber and other
forest products in the United States,
consuming more than one-thiId Of the
total produced. If timber is not to
be had at reasonable prices, they are
the first to suffer.
Our beautiful streams and camp
grounds throughout the Gallatin Ma
tiOnal forest afford camping and fish
ing opportunities to all. The various
phases Of recreation are open and
free for the farmer as for the mer-
chant and the banker.
The Gallatin valley is dependent
upon the farmer, upon his wheat and
oats, hay, seed peas, canning peas,
potatoes, vegetables, livestock, poul-
try, and dairy products, and the farm
er is dependent upon the forests. His

HUNTERS, ANGLERS,
HELP PROTECT THE
HABITAT OF GAME!

The effect of forest fires on
hunting and fishing can not be
reckOned by the nests destroyed
or the number Of fish, birds, or
wild animals killed outright at the
time or driven from the fire-in-
tested region. It is more far
reaching than that, for forest
fires destroy the opportunity for
fish and game to survive and null
tiply.
The loss is not that Of a sea-
son, but for all time to come; at
least until there has been adequate
replacement of food and shelter,
and that is very slow process.
Fish and game can survive no
longer than their natural habitat.
Every forest fire, large or small,
disturbs the natural and vital re-
latiOn between forest and stream,
and makes natural fishing waters
less habitable, less inviting to the
fish. For the sake Of your sport
BE CAREFUL WITH FIRE!
