POPPIES FOR SALE ON
POPPY DAY, SATURDAY, MAY g

Poppies which will be wore here in
memory of the World War dead on
Poppy Day, May 20, have been received
by Austin Reedy Post Unit of the
American Legion Auxiliary from Fl
Harrison Hospital, where they have
been made by disabled war veterans
The flowers are crepe paper replicas
of the famous peoples of France and
Flanders, that flourished and bloomed
amid the wars desolation. They are
being arranged for city wide distribu-
ton on Poppy Day.
Each flower has been made with
pains and care by some disabled World
War veteran Mrs. c. w. Wiprud, pop
py chairman of the Auxiliary, ex-
planned. They are made to represent as
closely as possible the little red flowers
that these men saw in the fields of
France where SO many of their COM
rades still lie. Their significance comes
from the sacrifices of those thousands
of brave young Americans who died in
the countrys service on the battle field
of France
Making the poppies has provided
employment for many hundreds of dis
abled men through the winter and
spring months. The work not only has
enabled them to help support them
selves and families, but also has been
valuable as occupational therapy. 1t
has been conducted in veterans hos
pitfalls and IL special poppy workroons
in every part of the country
Disabled veterans receiving little
or no government compensation are
the only ones employed in the poppy
Preference is given to those
with dependent families The work is
a Godsend to those men who could not
possibly find or perform other en-
ployment"

Man Caused Fires Are
Costly IN 1886 Season

MISSOULA.-Altho there was a
record number OF forest fires casued by
lightning and the number of man. caused
forest fires was smaller than usual in
the Northern Rocky Mountain national
forest region last year, man took a
greater toll from the forests than
lightning did
This is revealed by an analysis of
the cause of forest fires in 1886, the
costs of suppression, and the amount
of damage done by the fires, which has
just been completed There were 1,449
forest fires which burned inside the
boundaries of the national forests
and 293 which were outside the forest
boundaries but which, because of CO.
operative agreements, were handled by
the forest service.
There were $3.50 man caused fires
which burned $1,000 acres of land.
causing damage appraised at S415,0O0.
The cost of suppressing those fires was .
$4,000 The combined total Of cost
and damage was $651 900, about half Of
which was Incurred on lands within the
national forest boundaries
/ Lightning caused fires numbered
1853, for which suppression costs
of $4,000 were incurred The dam
age done by those fires was appraised
at sos, 600 The combined total of sup
preston costs and damage was S529, 900,
4 $4,000 less than the total for man.
caused fires. Only about tenth of the
| lightning fires were outside the national
| forest boundaries. The national for
ests include the higher back country.
which is the dangerous lightning belt.
In the lower lands, lightning does not
strike nearly so often.
Smokers Cause Many Fires
OF the man-caused fires, 176 were
caused by smokers They were the
most costly, burning $4,000 acres, and
costing SIT. 900 to suppress. The dam
age they did was appraised at $3.50, 600.
A third Of the smoker fires were out
side the national forest boundaries.
Most of the damage and suppression
expense were in connection with the
: disastrous Little Rockies fire in north
central Montana.
Railroads, campers, debris burning in
l. connection with land clearing and dis
! posing of logging slash, and lumber OPP
erations were the other principal agen-
cies responsible for man-caused fires.
\ Because most of the people in this
4 region know from experience the tre-
: mendous public loss resulting from Q
$ bad fire, they give the forest service
e fine cooperation in fire prevention,
said Regional Forester Evan w. Kelley
But the above figures show there |:
G still careless minority. All man
S caused fires are preventable. Each fir,
menaces the resources upon which ev-
: eryone in the region is directly de
y pendent. Some are engaged in tn
n lumber industry or employed in tn
. various services to that industry; som
/ are engaged in stock raising or ranch
r, ing, to whom preservation of the range
I'd and watersheds is Of vital Importance
se and there are the thousands of peopl
Re in the various communities who de
1e pend upon the forests for recreatio
ne and upon the forests water consery
2, ing capacities for their water supple
TX 1t is to the personal interest Of every
one to protect the forests from prt
ventable fires"

BASKETBALL GETS
UNDER NAy AT H. j. y.

Basketball was initiated at Hol-

day following Thanksgiving,
when a squad of thirty five men
reported to Coach Ras Branch for
the initial practice.
Coach Branch admitted that a
great deal of work would have
to be done, but he, nevertheless,
expects to have his boys clicking
before long.
The first night of practice
found the boys scrimmaging, and
it should not take too long for
the boys to whip themselves into
shape.
During the scrimmages to date,
Johnny Powell and Jack Busby
have been tie outstanding men.
These two men will be worth
watching, as will others who are
developing very rapidly.
Gillian will be depended upon
as n of the mainstays at guard
this year. Buck Norwood seems
to be showing more development
than the majority of the new com
r and James Mcdonald, who
comes with a worthy reputation,
is sure to help the team a lot.
