Should Protect Wild Life
Dear Editor

Dear Editor:
Stopping the other day in front Of
Harry Sincell's ''mourners' bench"
where a great many questions of
Importance are discussed, we engaged
our fisherman friend, Jim Painter, in
conversation and being of an inquir-
ing turn of mind we asked him which
parable in the Bible he liked the best
He replied that he always liked the
one that spoke of the multitude that
loafs and fishes. This struck a res
ponsive chord and we pushed the con-
versation a little further along to-
wards its real or rather 'reel' pur-
pose by asking him who was presi-
dent of the Isaac Walton League in
Oakland. That one stumped him. We
then inquired whether or not Garrett
county had a Wild Life League He
hung his head in a shame-faced way
and replied that there was none such
to the best Of his knowledge and be-
lief. We were surprised because we
wanted to interest some one in a
proposition looking to the turning of
a frozen asset" into what the bank
ing fellows call Liquid asset" Not
to be discouraged, however, we
asked him what had become of all the
fish in the Yough River. We had
heard that he had caught some beau
ties down below Muddy Creek Falls
and in the Sang Run country. With
language as picturesque as the view
from Allegheny Heights, but not
quite so spiritual, he replied THAT
the (here. for the sake of the young
readers, Scoop, the Boss and the Chief
of Staff, we delete) coal mines, tan
neries, and saw mills some place, he
knew not just where, were permit
ted to allow so much pollution to flow
into the, streams that the fish just
naturally gave up the ghost and left
for parts unknown" We agreed that
if Maryland industries were the
source of such pollution the State au-
thorities ought to stop it. If West
Virginia is the source, then there
should be a conference between the
proper authorities of the two states
looking to ending a situation that is
diverting tourists who love the out
door sports to other states where wild
life is protected.

RETURNS WERE 222 TO 1

An interesting contribution to the
lore of advertising results comes from
a business statistician, Roger w. Bah
son. According to his statement in
Cleveland he broadcast an advertise
ment at a cost of $4,000 and received
sixteen inquiries and two orders as a
result. Two days later for $4,000
he printed the advertisement in five
newspapers in as many cities and re-
ceived 1000 inquiries. He figured
that the radio advertisement cost
S166,66 for each reply; the newspaper
advertisement IS cents a reply.
Testimony like this may lead to
challenges and tests. No concern dis
seminating advertising by radio is
likely to contend that it produces such
results as are obtainable from the use
of the best newspapers, yet to find
that newspaper has the better Of
radio advertising in the ratio Of 222
to /, as Mr. Babson's experiment indi-
Gated, is perhaps more than the radio
folk will concede without further evil
dence.

nerisms of the broadcaster.

Forests as Farm Relief Measure

Diversion to timber growing OF GER
tain marginal lands now being farmed
at a loss is advocated as a measure
contributing to farm relief by Secre-
tary of Agriculture Hyde. 1t was
pointed out that extension of forestry
to marginal and submarginal lands
will be not only practical measure
of farm relief but also will increase
future supplies of wood and contri-
butte to soil conservation and flood
prevention.
"Much land that is submerginal for
agriculture still is being cultivated"
Secretary Hyde said. Increasing
poverty eventually will force the cuI-
tivators of submerginal agricultural
land to abandon their farms also.
Meanwhile, their misdirected efforts
are an important factor in contribut-
ing to the depression of the entire
industry.
"The proposal that a reasonable
amount of such lands be purchased by
the federal government, or some other
agency financially able to carry the
investment for a sufficient period to
realize on the greater value of the
land for forestry purposes, has much
to commend it. Some such plan might
be worked out on a scale sufficiently
large to be Of consequence as a farm
relief measure.
"The farm lands which already
have been abandoned require atten-
ton. Such lands spring up to an in
complete, inferior and relatively un-
productive forest. There needs to be
broader conception of the forest as
farm crop, which by proper methods
of establishment and culture can be
made revenue producer, and a
valuable feature of diversified agri-
culture.
THE problem of bringing larger
areas of land into use for timber
growing has been given consideration
by this department in recent years.
The matter of taxation is important
Many states have tried by exemp-
tions, bounties and by special forms
of forest taxation to promote re-
forestation and forestry practice by
private owners. To only small de-
gree have these efforts been success
full On the whole, it appears that
forest lands can and should bear
their fair share of taxation How
ever, it is important to determine
what is fair tax to place on forest
lands and then to develop a system
providing for payment at such times
and in such ways as will not be an
unreasonable obstacle to growing for
est crops by private owners" wall

LIVE AND HELP LIVE"

A desire to do something worth
while for Oakland, a desire to make
Oakland better town in which to
live, desire TO make visitors want
to return to Oakland, were kindled in
nearly every person who were so
fortunate as to hear Mr.. W. w. Bur
russ, inspirationa sales counselor, de-
liver an address at Garrett Memorial
Presbyterian church on Sunday morn
ing.
His talk revealed the motives of
men since they began to live upon the
earth. First they killed to live. Then
came the motto Live and let live"
and finally came the thought, Live
and Help Live" Those who lived in
any town and ridiculed it at every
turn, tore down the reputation of its
inhabitants and had nothing good to
say about it, he termed as still living
in the first stage
Those who wanted things to remain
as their grandfathers had found them,
asking for no assistance from any
one, and giving none, he placed in the
second stage, the stage of stagna-
ton, or bare existence.
The third stage was shown by him
to be the ideal one, where people lived
and helped other people to live. This
idea has been the reason for the
growth of all public institutions, and
could be spread still further by peo-
pie all over the country if they de-
cided that they want to do it.
Wanting to do something for other
people, wanting to make people vel
come in Oakland, wanting to make
Oakland a better place in which to
live, wanting to believe nothing
against people until actually proven,
was all that was necessary for the
growth of the third stage in civic and
social relationship, according to Mr.,
Burruss.
At Camp Dawson, the national
guard camp for the 2O1st infantry of
the West Virginia State militia, on
Sunday, a guard on duty stopped a
Maryland car. you're an out Of the
state car, you can go any place in
the camp" And it was not only this
one Maryland car but all Maryland
cars and all cars from other states.
Would your warm feelings toward
West Virginia and your desire to re-
turn to camp have been the same if
some over-sized misunderstanding
bozo had hoped on the running board
of the car and beloved, Hey there,
where the hi do you think you're
going? Park over there and don't
be so dumb. There's one born every
minute"

from being decreased by radio adver-
Using, has grown steadily since the
radio period started. Mr.. Babson's
experiment offers the obvious expla-
nation. No advertiser getting good
results from newspaper advertising
deserts it for medium that produces
less business, whether he finds the
ratio 222 to /, or % to 1, or even ? to

EDUCATORS CLASH

Old. Time Plan Of Teaching the
Higher Courses Later Is
Being Challenged

Minot, N. D.. Nov. 8.-tH1-Teachers
Of mathematics are having an argu-
ment as to the proper method Of
teaching the subject. John G. West,
superintendent Of the Grand Forks
city schools. told the mathematics
section at the State Education asso-
citation, today.
Some authorities contend that the
subject should sbe given general
treatment early In the school course
and that simple phases of arithmetic.

sented in the seventh, eighth and
ninth grades. these to be followed by
higher and specialized courses In al
zebra. geometry and trigonometry
along toward the end Of the senior
high school period. West said.
Other educators support the time
tried plan whereby instruction IN
arithmetic is completed in the eighth
grade. algebra is started in the ninth
grade, geometry In the tenth and
these r followed by higher algebra,
solid geometry and trigonometry.
Another point In controversy. West
said, Is the time needed to complete
the courses. Eleven states maintain
seven year elementary schools and
contend that their instruction is as
complete as that given in North Da-
kota schools in the standard eight
years.
West suggested that the standard
arithmetic course be concluded In the
sixth grade and that advanced arith-
metic. elementary algebra and plane
geometry In their simple phases be
completed at the end Of the ninth
grade. Students interested in cngi-
neering course could get instruction
