H0W- DID YOU DIE?
By Edmosd Vasce Cook in Zios's
Ensiun.
9
DiJ you tackle the trouble that came
your way
With a res.lute heart arid cheerful?
Or hid your face from the light of ifty
With a craven soul and fearful?
Oh, trouble's a ton, or trouble's an ounce,
Or a trouble what you make it,
And it isn't the fact that you're hurt
that counts,
But only how did you take it?
You're lieaten to earth? Well, well,
what's that?
fome up with a smiling face,
It's nothing against you to fall flat,
But to lie there, that's disgrace.
The harder you're thrown, why, the
higher you bounce;
Be proud of your blackened eye!
It isn't the fact that you're licked that
counts;
It's how did you fight-and why?
And though you be done to the death,
what then?
If you battled the best that you could;
If you played your part in the world of
men,
Why, the Critic will call it good.
Death comes with a crawl, or comes
with a pounce,
And whether he's slow or spry,
It isn't the fact that you.re dead that
counts,
But only how did you die.

Cooperation In Fire Prevention
Work Urged
4
According to official reports,'
there has been an unusual amount
of damage done in the eastern
states this spring on account of
forest fires. As a result, the
Government is emphasizing its
campaign, having for its main
object the cooperation of the
general public in the work ot hre
prevention and suppression. In
this work the west has already
been very active, for fire pre
vention west of the Rocky Moun
tains has reached a well estab
lished basis.
For the past five years, the
Northwest has carried on a live
campaign of publicity, setting
forth the results of forest fires
and urging the help of the comr
munityin suppressing and pre
venting them. Various kinds of
notices have been freely posted,
-and circulars have been dis
tributed among young and old
everywhere. The campaign has
been so effective that Ae public
has awakened to its duty and
interest in the matter, with the
result that where the forest
Service once stood alone in fire
prevention work, it now has the
cooperation of the States, of
private organizations, timber
owners, and the public genneral-

ly.
Every camper that enters the
woods knows that he must not
throw away a match until he is
sure it is out; he will not drop a
burning cigarette or cigar butt;
he will not knock out his pipe
ashes while hot, or where they
will fall into dry leaves or other
inflammable material; he will not
build a camp fire any larger than
absolutely necessary, nor will he
build it against a tree, a log, a
stump, or anywhere but on bare
soil; he will not leave his fire
until he is sure it is out; he will
not burn brush or refuse in or
near the woods if there is any
chance that the fire may spread
beyond control or when the wind
may carry sparks where they
would start a fire; if he discovers
a fire in the woods and can't put
it out himself, he will notify the
nearest forest guard, ranger, or
State fire warden.
In fact, he will be just as care
ful regarding fire in the woods
as he is with fire in his own home.
He will not only do all these
things himself, but he is so well
convinced of the wisdom of fire
prevention measures, that he
will urge it upon his friends and
neighbors and thus help the good
work along.
