The measure Is interpretated by forest officials 'to Indicate recog nition X that the I federal ; govern ment, the states and the private timber- owners each have an In terest and a responsibility ; and each should bear a proportionate share In the cost of preservation and reforestation. -To this end there is authorized an annual ex penditure tot 12,700,000, the ap propriation to be available for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1925. Meanwhile plans for carrying out the proTision of the law are to he organiied and matured. !

When a man' flew across the continent fiom ' dawn to- diisk. It was of more than ordinary im portance. It was a miracle re duced to the commonplace.-' in the first place, mea have no busl aes flying." That belongs to the birds, but tley are flying and are beating 'the -birds... We doubt If there Is a hrd living that -could cross "the continent in one day. We have heard a good deal of long flights of birds but I it is mostly conjecture. Here we have a man time,d ' making 800 miles a day, on an average of 156. miles an hour. , . I. Certainly the -world does' move and it I3 moving very fast. In 4 9 our ancestors took a low trail for California. Half a' year it took to-f ross half the continent and enly the stoutest hr.rts rce avS to riake'the whole'tr'.-).-' Tcr trail, the weak who had fallen by the wayside. ' . : . 'Then came the pony express, he-wonder of. the. world. The ponies almost ' had -wings they went so fast, but' it was a alow process compared with flying. Then came . those wonderful en gines that pulled trains at - the rate of 50, CO and 70, miles an hour. . Here was the acme of all strength here -was the end ; of men's endeaTors; but.no, see ;men begin flying. Time; was annihi lated and the continent crossed in one day. A miracle, of course it was, but a miracle that has come to be commonplace. AN INTERESTING CHARACTER ": For many years General Smuts, as premier of South Africa, stood out in public life as a great per sonality. During the: Boer war, General Smuts was a leader of the boers. Jfe was a born "strate gist and leader of men. .He was f&V most troublesome thorn in the flesh of the British government. When the boer nation was exter minated and the people scattered. General Smuts accepted - the ver dict of v the war Great Britain annexed the country and General Smuts became at once a British subject. In -25 years he was prime minister in the very country he tried so hard to defeat. It is probably the first time in the his tory of the , world that ueh a thing ever happened, ;f f As an administrator,-, ,Ceneral Smuts was a, success. i ,He,-gathered the fragmentary .-: countries together and solidified:;: them. When the- great war.came'onThe left everything and went. to Eng land, where his executive tatents were tn demand for, five years. Upon returning . to South - Africa, he resumed his .old place and hehJLlt until thisweelu The elec tions went, against, him ; and . he had to resign. That Is the fate of politicians who do not die in harness. It probably means . that the last years of this man's life will be cloudy yet he has contri buted so much to the betterment of. the .world and been sucbr an empire builder that he ought to look with 'satisfaction 3 on his career and appeal to history.'-? HOLD YOUR TEMPETl r--s:r - ..-: i;- ;. . j-r. ;Of course there .is 'no question about the American people having a. .rfght,.to P.a?xclnslyH laws such as tfiey - desire: and exclude anybody- they do not. want here.

Men who do not believe in a law will not convict others, and offending juries win- wink - at evasions and not feel their patri otic responsibilities. 7; "t; One national reform we need Is in supreme court decisions on constitutional questions. Now .a bare majority decides. It should be a two-thirds vote.

The rat . is. "responsible t for more deaths among" human beings than all thewars in history. It is' a serious menace to human life. A single , rat does more harm ta life and property in one year than wo realize. What then is our con ception of the loss from millions of these pests. . - . Not all the fatal epidemics of the past were bubonic plague, but enough of ithem have been identi fied as such to show that almost every century of the christian era has had at least one scourge of which destroyed millions of the world'B people. Through the fleas that infest them, rats are almost wholly responsible for the" spread of bubonic plague,' and it has been proved that rats are agents in spreading pneumonia plagUa as well. Scptie pneumonia, and epi demic jaundice in man have been traced to the rat to say nothing of t.he germs of infantile paraly sis and other Infectious diseases carried from its haunts of filth. leaving them upon human food. It is hardly thinkable that we should rest content under' such conditions that exist In regard to the art. particularly when so many human lives are in jeopardy. Ac cording to" statistics there, is a property waste of. $200,000,00 a year." The . constant labor of an army of more than 200,000 men Is required to produce the materials eaten -and destroyed by rats in one year. ..-''-"' .'".:--.'' -: -, . The loss of life has not1 been estimated. 1 . The natural enemies of rats and mice Include, besides such domes tic animals as dogs, xata and fer rets, nearly ,aU the predatory mammals and birds of prey, as well as snakes, -storks; herons and other water, birds J In' recent years the animals that-prey upon rod ents have, become very scarce, while the rats. have increased In NOW SHOWING mw , : UNDER v Is One of the Mtfst Interesting: Places in the Vt'crM See It In , " . i Arthur Somers Roche's W Powerful Story With A r7 GREAT CAST i ' t mm 9l Jf ' COMING ;'-","A .
