THE RIGHTS AND WRONGS OF CHILDHOOD The state promntlv lntervpn... when a plague strikes anv section nf the land, though plagues usually die out with the coming of the winter months. Little is then said in de fense of state rights, for national health and security are at stake. Child-labor is a plague that smites its immediate victims and strikes at the heart of the whole nation twelve months in the year. It is a problem of the nation, a problem to be met with courage and wisdom and pre vision. Democracy and relielon must unite for the protection of the chil.i I In a monarchy men are subject to a l king's will. In a democracy the child is the object of the govern ; merit's concern. The church of yes terday persists In childish rites; the church of tomorrow will insist upon the rights of the child. This is the children's hour between the dark and the daylight the darkness of tmmrens wrongs that Is passing, and the daylight of children's rights' that is dawning. Stephen S.

In connection with the forest work there has been no more im. portant undertaking 'than that which is now going on for the nrot eet Ion of live stock on the reserve n has beeu announced that the nolsnn. ous plant Investigations on the vari ous national forests are being con tinued during the present senson For several years the Forest Service, in co-operntlon with the Bureau of m i M,u ministry, has been making poisonous plant investigations on th national forests which have been of distinct value to stockmen. Whii,. the number of such Investiirntloiw u of necessity limited, every effort is made to give prompt attention tn i '.. itn localities wnere great or unusual losses of stock have occurred. The annual loss from poisonous Plants in many localities is quite heavy and some ranges are becoming practically useless on account of these plants, or if used the losses by death are so heavy as to material ly cut into the profits of the business. While no general plan of ridding the range of these plants has yet been devised, It has been possible by close study of a poison range to determine the particular species of Plant responsible for the trouble. Many times an exhaustive study of the plant, has proved that It occurs OIllV oil small arena l,l,.l. i.i " ii " II I I HI III easily be avoided.

Certain portoH f of the old trail were abandoned m.,i along other portions the i bokei,,., ,-,. bushes were cut out. The n.,.H.m! of handling the sheep was also changed. Instead of large bands, which could bo moved but slowlv smaller bands were trailed, and so far as possible they were allowed to fill up on healthy forage before en tering the dangerous area. The trail was also Improved wherever practicable and by this means It was possible to Ket the sheep through In much better Khape and with little or no loss. Areas where poisonous nlants am particularly plentiful are "fliiKged" by the forest rangers ho that tlm herders muy have warning of their condition, and where the area In volved Is not too great in extent, fences are built around them ho that stock like horses and cattle could not reach thetn.
