HOW DO THE FOREST
FIRES START?
What starts these forest fires?
This question has been asked over
and over again this summer by read
ers of the accounts of the destructive
fires which have been raging in all
parts of the country.
Campers and locomotives, is the
usual answer. Many of the other
things which start blazes in the for
est are forgotten. It is true that
perhaps one-half to three-fourJhs of
the forest fires do begin as a result
of the carelessness of some camper,
or from sparks flying from loco
motives, but there are a number of
things which set the woods a fire.
A complete report of forest fires
on the private forests of the country
and their causes is not kept by any
one. Uncle Sam, however, is most
done by the blazes on his timberland
under forest administration, aggre
gating about 16S.000.000 acres, and
each year the total area burned over,
the timberland burned over, the
amount of timber destroyed and it3
value, the cost of fighting fires, and
the causes of fires are carefully
checked up. These reports are made
at the end of the calender year, and
the announcement of this year's
losses will therefore not be known
for more than two months.
Last year's figures, however, give a
good idea of the things which cause
fires in forests. Of the l,3oo fires
discovered on thp national forests
last year, all of which were checked
by the rangers before they had burn
ed over fourteen hundredths of one
per cent (14-100 of 1 per cent) of
the national forest area, campers
caused 346, while railroads followed
next with 273; lightning came next,
with 176; donkey engines used in
"lumbering operations, fourth, with
C5; careless brush burning by home
steaders clearing land, 34; fires
caused by Incendiaries and those set
by herders and hunters, 30. For
more than 400 of the fires the cause
Is not known. This is not strange
when it is remembered that a fire
may smolder for days if the air is
too thick to permit the smoke to be
seen at a distance before it breaks
out when fanned by a wind so as. to
reveal Its presence to the watchful
forest officer.
hile campers caused more fires
than locomotives last year, there are
many seasons w hen the railroads hold
undisputed claim to first place. For
est fires started by both are mostly
unnecessary. If campers would exer
ciso caro In starting camp fires and
be sure that they are extinguished
before they are left, and if the rail
road companies would use the most
modern and efficient spark arresters,
It Is reasonable to think that the an
nual forest fire loss could be reduced
more than one-half. Lightning ranks
third among the causes of fires, and
of courso, man has no greater respon
sibility in this case than to put the
fire out as soon as possible after dis
covory. Careless brush burning by
homesteaders nnd persons clearing
land is said to be the cause of many
of the fires which have started this
year, particularly tlioso which have
swept over the lake states.
The ranger forco on many of the
national forests have been kept busy
lighting fires which, if left to run
unchecked, would have done Incal-
culahlo damage. By quickening
communication between important
points through the construction of
telephone lines, and building roads
and trails, the national forests have
been .undo more accessible during the
past two yonrs nnd fire fighting has
been greatly facilitated.

A CONUNDRUM.
Returning; home at close of day.
Who quietly chides my long delay?
Who greets me In a cheerful way?
Nobody!
Who caters to my every care?
Who makes me take the easy chair,?
Who puts my cosy slippers there?
Nobody!
Who has my dinner steaming hot?
Who for my welfare cares, a-jot?
Who heeds if I am sick or not?
Nobody 1
But who will presently do this?
Who's going to give me every bliss?
Who must you know? well, it is
Miss
Somebody!
G. G - - d - - m.
YOU DESERVE IT!
Have you ever been struck
With the thought that luck
Is just plain pluck?
That the big rewards
Have come in hordes
To the men who've strained with
their thews and cords?
Why, you can win
If you don't give in.
You can climb as high as your
strength will go,
And only your weakness will keep
you low.
The tumble you took last year won't
count
If you have ambition enough to
mount.
But if the effort makes you quail.
And the first hard tussle turns you
pale,
You deserve to fail.
Why does one look for sympathy
'n he saint and find it in the sin
ner? Will there ever be born a woman
endowed with a mathematical sense
accurate enough to meet a man half
way? When an employer discharges a
clerk his wife, his father, his mother
and his children all begin to hate the
employer.
Most bachelors are looking for a
woman who will fulfill their Ideal of
a wife, but they would be better sat
isfied with one who tried to fulfill
her own.
When a young man proposes to a
girl and she asks time to consider,
It may mean that she wants to con
sider the ad Inability of breaking off
another engagement.
"Why did their marriage prove
mutually disappointing?"
"He married her because she was
poor and could make her own gowns,
and she married him because he was
rich and she wouldn't have to."
When a woman falls in love with
a man she is prepared to find him
out. A woman In love believes a
whole lot of things about the subject
of her affections that he is sure to
disappoint her in, and she will claim
finally that he "deceived" her.
ROYCROFT PHILOSOPHY.
Verily In the midst of life we are
in debt.
Anyone can sympathize with people
jn trouble, but to take joy In their
success requires some one bigger
than I.
Often a good way to conquer Is to
wisely submit.
Think less about your rights, more
about your duties.
Men are great only as they are
kind.
They say what say they? Let
them say.
Aim high and consider yourself ca
pable of great things,
Do your work as well as you can
and be kind.
