The state forester of Oregon is not
unreasonable in asking hunters of this
state to stay out of the woods until
rains shall have decreased the danger
of fire. The Western Oregon hunting
season opened August 1 5, and sports
men would be quite within their rights
in insisting that they be allowed to set
forth, as in other years, in search of
game. But this is not like other sea
eons. The summer drouth has been of
unprecedented length, and foreBts in
all parts of the Pacific northwest are
of tindery dryness, ready to flame into
disastrous and widespread conflagra
tion almost at the touch of a spark.
Hunters are hazardous people to be at
large in the forests at a time like this.
Some of them are skilled woodsmen
and therefore above reproach in their
manner of handling matches and ex
tinguishing campfires. But along with
this body of careful hunters there
must of necessity be great numbers
of careless men, of amateurs and
others who have not been made to rea
lize the terrible possibilities of stray
morsels of fire in dry woods. In the
hands of a careless man a match may
be as fatal a weapon as a cocked shot
gun. An appeal which should strike a
responsive chord in the hearts of every
loyal son and daughter of Oregon, is
being made by the Oregon Army and
Navy Auxiliary, which is now seeking
to secure sufficient funds for the pur
chase of one and perhaps two or
three Army ambulances for the Third
Oregon Regiment, which is soon to see
service on the battlefields of France.
It is a big undertaking this work of
securing funJs by popular subscription,
but in such a worthy cause the women
sponsoring the movement believe that
the people of Oregon will respond
quickly and with a patriotic enthu-
Food Administrator Hoover warns
America that the world faces a meat
famine. He cites figures to prove that
this nation's cattle, sheep and hogs are
dwindling rapidly under demands of
war and in allied Europe threatens to
be wiped out entirely. In his opinion,
a high range of prices for meat and
animal products will confront this
country for many years to come.
With the new sidewalk vdinance in
force, and deplorable condition of
many of the walks in evidence, there
will probably be considerable construc
tion work along that line in Athena
this fail. The cost of concrete walks is
but little more than when lumber is
used, comparatively speaking, and
every condition favors concrete.
With the ending of harvest, a swim
ming pool for Athena, naturally fol
lows. Country people are as much
interested in having a natatorium here
as town people are, and will readily
assist in financing the undertaking.

OUR MARINE CORPS.
It It Fully Equipped All Around
Efficient Littl Army.
! you know the definition of the
word "corps?" If you do your advan
tage iivcr the man In the street is con
siderable, for the word in itself signi
fies a large fighting force so completely
equipped In all branches that it can act
as an independent army. And that Is
what our marine corps Is - a fully equip,
ped Utile avm.T. representing Infnutry,
cavalry, artillery, sigunl service, engi
neers, moch'.ne gun men, aviators and
hospital service.
The varied nature of the marine's
duties Is reflected lu the dress uniform,
his dearly prized "blues." The trousers
hit the colcr of the lufuntrymiin's, but
I he firlpc Is red, like that oil the uni
form of the artillery. His cuut is a
dark nautical blue, but if he wears
chevrons on it they are yellow, like a
eavulryman's. As an example of cos
mopolitanism bis cup device bears a
relief map of half tbe globe. An eagle
with outspread wings eurmouuts the
globe, und a fouled anchor shows In
the background' To "toll" a marine at
a glance (Whatever his uniform or bis
ro.uk) look on the front of the bat or
the cap for that globe, it is the distin
guishing emblem of a marine the world
over.
Great Britain is the only other pow
er that has, hi our Bcnse of tbe word,
a real marine corps, and the cap de
vice of the Ilrillsh marine also has a
globe In thi center of the design.

A FAITHFUL HORSE.
Paul Rivera's Sturdy Stead Fairly En
titled to Fame.
Paul Itevere's nume was made Im
mortal when he rode from Ilostou to
Lexington and Concord warning tbe
patriots aloug the way of the British
approach, and Ills fame has been se
curely enshrined In the hearts of all
Americans.
Historians have honored themselves
bi honoring him. Poets have found In
spiration in praising him. He is an
idol of childhood, au example in the
prime of iiiiuihnod and a solacing mem
ory of old age.
How few characters loom up like
great peaks above the mountain ranges
of time!
And Paul lievere was one of these.
He was one of the precious few great
enough to grasp an opportunity to do
an luciili ulablo good to mankind.
But while we give deserved glory to
Paul ltevete let us no longer forget
that there was another hero in that
wild midnight ride.
There was the horse.
"Any other horse might have done as
well,'' you think? Well, so might any
other man have done as well perhaps.
So might we flippantly disparage any
hero.
But the fact remains that it was
Paul llevere and Paul Bevere's horse
:lmi did It. And the harder work fell
on the horse. But for the WOT '.torse's
faithfulness Paul Kevere would uavo
been a failure. Christian Herald.
Learn History by Novels.
In the Woman's Home Companion
Anno Bryan Met nil says:
"One of the pleasautext ways I know
of making varied travels into history
is by rending historical novels. I re
member that when I was twelve years
old I rend Harrison Alnsworth's 'Wlnd-
; sor Ciistle,' and when 1 whs Il'teeu I
j read Scott's 'Keuilworth.' When I was
' sixteen I read Hawthorne's 'Scarlet
I letter." i was not thinking of history
at all when I read them. I read them
solely for the story. Yet from those
three books I learned more of the
I times of Henry V1H. and Queen Elli-
alieth and of early American days, I
do believe, than In the tunny historical
j chapters iirvcrlng those times that I
I have read since. Those books made
: theso times live for me. and it was as
i though I myself were living in them."
