fcjiniill towns are imperilled, many acres id' linilier are be

menaced'; financial losses (if varying amounts are certain.
Public education as lo the need of more forest pro
tection and fire prevention goes on year in and year out.
The season of 3uost fires is a good time for pressing the
education more persistently and' forcefully than usual.
First of all is needed adequate provision for fire pre
vention, fire detection and fire fighting. The public, and
private funds expended in such wirk Are investments of
the soundest sort. Jiut there can hardly be enough of such
protection if there is not at the same time a developing
public; 'ousciousness of individual responsibility.

going forth on picnics and camping trips. They will build
countless campfires. Xtflhing but pleasure w ill result from
these, fires if the campers know their business, choosing
a suitable spot for thell'ire, watching it- while it burns and
putting it entirely out when they are through with it.

criticize the court's latest i-mI most
sensational labor announcement, to
tho effect that labor unions are legally
responsible for property dami'Kcs in

When you arc riding home today
flense see, along the right of way,
The reawakened loveliness
Of fields so lately colorless;
The bushes, last week bare and told
And now u mass of sunny gold;
And silver willows are a-quivor
Beside the little dancing river.
And when you quit the ear and come
Along the pathway to our home.
As you have done so many days, ,
If you should smile upon my face,
If you should show me that you care;
1 think, perhaps, you'd find me fair.
Spring woiks a miracle with places.
And love a miracle with faces.
