 We had feared on hearing of floods and slides in this section last winter that salmon eggs might have been destroyed and this years es- exponent small" MT Floe conclud- ed, but have seen twice as great a run of small fry heading out to sea this spring as ever before, in dicating fine run in a couple of years"

 Same Reputation
 Besides enjoying the reputation of being the most widely known ar tist in America, MT. Flagg has writ ten dozen best sellers and pro- duced 26 feature motion pictures. Up to the period of the World War his Spirit of the Red Cross called for more negatives than any other picture.
 Hal Phyfe, the widely known New York portrait photographer, close friend of MT. Flagg, gratuitously posed for the painting.
 F. A. Silox, Chief of the Forest Service, commenting upon the forest fire prevention painting, said:
 Straight to Point
 MT. Flagg has gone straight to the essential point in the problem of fire control-the human ele- ment. His title tells the whole story in rapid-fire style. Americas for ests are literally Your Forest For ests, no matter whether they are under private, state or federal own ership, influence the daily lives of millions of people directly depend ent for a livelihood on forest pro- ducts, and upon additional mill lions who use the forests for hunt ing, ifs hing, camping and other forms of recreation. Green for ests adequately protect watersheds exert a powerful control on the source of floods.
 Fire Man Caused
 "The second part of MT. Flagg' s title-'Your Fault means just this: Ninety percent of all the for est fires in the nation are man. caused. Because they are caused by man, they are preventable." Due to the close interrelation- ship between the forests and our everyday life, the pharase Your Loss becomes equally true. It may reasonably be said that when for est burns, everybody loses. MT. Flag has made a valuable contri- button in the fight against forest fires which burn annually over an area almost as large as the entire State of Washington"
