STATE FORESTER WARNS
OF FOURTH VIOLATIONS

If the people of Washington wish
their children to observe the Fourth
with fireworks in towns and cities,
there nothing the State Division Of
Forestry can or even wants to do
about it, But it is going to be differ
ent this year along the highways and
in the wooded sections of the State,
according to S. Goodyear, State For.
eeter, who -issred a. geneFA- order >. to
his department instructing all fire
wardens to give special attention to
the setting off Of fireworks on, or near.

4" In the past we have been lenient -
Goodyear said, "and thoughtless few
have taken advantage of the leniency.
Last year, for instance, the State
was called to suppress 119 fires start
ed along highways and in woods on
two day, namely the third and fourth
of July. This is a shameful record We
do not mean to see it repeated this
year.
"All State fire wardens and other
employees of the Division of Forestry
have been instructed to arrest any per
son, adult or juvenile, who is found
throwing firecrackers or other lighted
objects from motor cars, or setting
off fireworks on, or near, forest land,
"Arrests will be followed by pro-
ecutions to the limit. We mean to pro-
tect lives and property from the over
jealous patriotism of few careless

WASHINGTON WEEKLIES
EFFICIENT NEWS GATHERERS

Small town newspapers of Washing
ton have concentrated on becoming eff
ficient news and advertising agencies

focusing their attention on editorial
content and attempting to influence

the State College says.
AS evidence he points to the fact
discovered in his research studies OF
Washington weekly newspapers that i'll
1902 seventy per cent Of the weeklles
of the state proclaimed their sympa-

parties, where as in 1888 practically
seventy per cent proclaimed their in
dependence of political party ties.
Moreover local editorials were found
to be only half as common in 1897 as
they had been in 1916.

Basin Land Suited 70
Diversified FARMING

The most successful types Of farm.

where be sic conditions are similar to
those which will be encountered dnfng
the early development of the Columbia
Basin, combine crop and livestock prog
rams, according to the completed report
on Problem l of the comprehensive
Joint Inve stigation being sponsored by
the Bureau of Reclamation to plan the
successful development and settlement
of the 1900 ,000-ac irrigation pro-
ject.
All forage and grain for livestock
feed are grown on these farms, and
the area in cash crops is limited tt
that which can be well fortified with
barnyard manure, the Investigation,
one of a series of rs, disclosed.
The Columbia Basin project will re-
ccive water from the Columbia River
through the giant Grand Coulee Dam,
and is expected to transform vast
area of dry land, most of it unsettled
and unproductive, into well wateret
"ompactlv settled, and highly pro-
ductive region. With full development,
the district should attain total pop
ulation, rural and urban, of $4,000
to 100000 people.
Answers We're sought in this phase
of the investigation to the question,

iects, where basic conditions are simi-

en- the earlier units of the Columbia

Typos of farming depending pre-
dominantly, or exclusively, upon cash

seeds.
Speciality farms, small fruit and
truck farms, and poultry farms have
proved successful in the limited num-
bers, and with the somewhat specially

New Tang In Salads

If your gelatin salads seem rather "wishy-washy," and your family has ceased to display interest in them, Q sure way to put them back on the list of faVorites Is to use a car- bonated beverage as an ingredient. These beverages give an unique tang" to salads and make them Q refreshing treat. The lettuce must be crisp, of course.
 Cherry Salad is appealing both to the eye and to the palate. And men will agree that its new zest takes 1t out of the sissy" class.

 Every man, woman and child should take about one quart of milk daily, Dr Nelson recommends, and in this he Is in agreement with many other medical and nutrition authorities. Milk, taken in adequate quantities throughout life, helps keep an individual well and fit. Be- cause 1t prevents many ailments commonly associated with old age, milk is an important factor in ex- tending a persons prime of life" and keeping him healthy and youth- ful. The modern trend in medicine Is toward the prevention of disease and in this connection doctors are coming more and more to recognize the importance of a good diet, in- cluding liberal amounts of milk.

Whitefish Good Proof of Fresh Fish Transportation

Although the tremendous for ward strides in transportation and refrigeration are now accepted as commonplaces still many people do not realize that fish in its fresh state can be sent thousands of miles--and arrive in prime condi- ton.
 Fresh water fish from inland waters are now carried as routine to coastal towns and salt water fish from the depths of the ocean ar enow brought to communities far inland, according to the Fish cry Council.
 A fine example of this wide- spread transportation of fish is the whitefish, perhaps the most important commercial fresh water fish we have. It is produced Cx- tensively in the Great Lakes, and during the winter in Canadian lakes. Because of its great popular ity in certain sections of the East, the whitefish are brought half- way across the country in special new timber boxes and highly iced. Fast express trains bring them in 80 that they will reach the con- sumer in the finest possible con- dition.
 Just aS the fresh water fish ,Ire brought to the coast, so are salt water fish brought inland to peo- pie who have never seen the ocean. As yet people have not fully cap- italized on this modern progress to demand fresh fish they are not accustomed to- Yuor retailer can ge. 1t if you insist on 1t.
 Following is recipe for white- fish:

 2 pounds whitefish fillets ih cups fine soft bread crumbs
 1 tablespoon melted butter or fat

 With the approach of June, America again observes Dairy Month, and 1t is indeed fitting that with each passing day new research points out the value of milk, a pro- duct which is the mainstay of the Connecticut farmer.

Milk" says Dr Nelson, lis the only food which can supply enough calcium to assure the de- velopment and maintenance of mans maximum mental and physi- cal capacities"

 fish and dressing with finely chopped bacon and bake in 0 hot oven (450 Degrees Fahrenheit 70 800 Degrees) until fish is done. This should not take over 10 min utes, if the fish Is not over one and half inches thick. The dress ing and bacon will brown nicely in the same time. Serve with a tartar sauce If desired.

Butter In
 ButterfiSh Is
 Its Good Taste

There is no butter in butterfish. However, 1t can very well be as standard a table item as butter for butterfish are plentiful nine months a year, from April to December, according to the Fishery Council.
 This popular little fish is known by many other names besides its scientific designation as Poronatus Tricanthus a name almost bigger than the fish. In Maine 1t is called "dollarfish" and in Connec- ticut 1t is known as "pumpkinseed" In other localities 1t is dubbed Thar vestfish, "shiner" and "skipjack". It is an excellent food fish and is found from Nova Scotia to Flor ida. During tile milder part of the year 1t is caught along the shores in the bays, sounds and in- lets. In recent years the fish has been caught during the winter in deep sea, particularly off the Vir- ginia Capes. Tn the New York market alone, over 100000 pounds of this fish were handled in 1889. Because it is plentiful and Is Q good tasting seafood, butterfish are ideal for the housewife who wants to save money and get the best. In season, butterfish are one of the lowest costing foods obtainable.
 Here is good pay to prepare butterfish:
