Let us figure with yon on your painting and wall papering Maupin Drug Store. I Wonder I wonder how many readers of this paper ever paused for a few moments in their persuit of life and hapiness to consider why they should be interested in the prot ection and preservation of the Forests. Of the Forests right here at 'your back door. Don't say you aren't interested, because you are and you can't help it. You go there in the hot days of summer to enjoy the cool air and get a good drink of water. You go there to fish and hunt and pick berries, and you go there for your wood and lumber. And the time is not far distant when you are going there to sell your produce. There is approximately four hundred and thirty five million feet of pine between White River and the north boundary of the Warm Spring Indian Reservation. There i3 approxrnately two bil lion one hundred seventy five million feet of pine and a larger amount of fir which is going to market in the not very distant future through the White river and Wapinitia creek gateways.

PRE VENT FOREST FIRES - IT PAYS. Joe A Graham, Forest Ranger. PROPAGANDA Before the war, the term "pro paganda" was a dignified poly syllabic used only by academic newspaper editors and silver-ton gued demagogues. During the war, it gained a new significance i i the mind of the public. It became something sinister, in sidious, a divice of the devil for the purj ose of leading the snsdi- cious public astray. Yet the definition of "propa ganda" is simple enough: "Any plan or method of spreading an opinion or belief." It is, in oth er words, as old as human speech. Since the beginning of time man has impressed his opinions and beliefs upon his neighbors. Pro paganda tinges every expression we make. It cannot be avoided. Man is a gregarious animal de pendent upon his neighbor throughout our entire social stru cture. And, he is dependent on his neighbor's opinion. Let U3 take an example right here in Oregon. Smith, the farmer, goes to town to do a little shopping. He has several calls to make at the grocery store, the hardware store, and the garage, let us say. Smith enters the grocery store, Jones, the proprietor, greets him and fakes his order. As he is wrapp ing up the parcels, Jones says: 'I feel sorry for. you farmers this year. You're not getting a "lit Dalles square deal. The agricultural situation looks pretty bad." Smith agrees, takes his parcels and departs. At the hardware store, the proprietor says: "How is every thing, Smith? I suppose you're broke like all the rest of the boys?" Smith admits that he isn's as prosperous as he has been, and proceeds to the garage. "My business ain't what it what it used to be," complains the garage man. "Everybody's down and out." Smith gloomly agrees. On the way home, Smith is despondent. Although he does not realize it, propaganda has done its dirty work. His ambi tion and energy are impaired. He is discouraged, and draws a questionable comfort from the belief that all the farmers of the country are in a bad way. Now, suppose the grocery mer chant, in talking to Smith ad vances something like this: "Well yon're certainly looking fine, Smith! You're another one of these boys with the big crops this year, huh? You farmers are coming back strong, no ques tion about it!" Smith doubtful ly agrees. But when the hard ware man says: "Pretty nice the way you fellow3 are getting top prices for wool now figured out your income tax yet?" Smith laughs, and feeis better. And when the garage man says: "Sloan, down on the old Taylor place, is buying a new car this spring. Do you know how much his twenty cows are making him each month? Two hundred and forty dollars! He's making more than I am." Smith decides that the farmers aren't so badly off after all, If other farmers are doing so well, he can do as well, too. Come to think of it, he is getting along all right; he really hasn't much to complain about. As he rides home he notices with satisfaction how broad and smooth the highway is. It is early spring, and wide fields and orchards and evergreen groves stretch afar to the distant hills. A prosperous land; a productive land. He settles himself com fortably in his seat and begins to lay his plans for the spring; bigger and more optimistic plans He does not know what has hap pened to him. He does not know that propaganda has stretched forth a kindly hand to him. He only knows that he feels better. All of which leads us to the question: What, kind of propa ganda are you spreading? Ore gon Business.
