Ad rate on application Office W ith A1 Hermanson PRESERVE OUR SCENIC BEAUTY F irlv this week there was a haze over some of the Gal leys of Southern Oregon. That haze was caused by the forerunner of the season’s forest tires. With spring scarcely open we are seriously reminded of the terrible destruction which comes to the country’s forests every year. We hope that the people will take the early omen as a lesson and will do everything within their power to check any possibility of forest tires in Oregon this season. The winter has been dry and the summer will, no doubt, be hot with the result that early in the season there will be a luxuriant growth of dry grass as a mantle for our hill sides. This will increase the tire hazard and will call for greater caution by the people who would use our for ests as a means to escape the heat of the city and valley. Those people who were raised in the wooded hills of Oregon little appreciate the great value of the green hills and wooded valleys—they h*.ve become accustomed to them. Their beauty, their coolness and their verdure have become commonplace. But to the traveler within our gates—the people from the big cities, with no sur cease from the torrid temperature save the overcrowded parks, the dweller from the barren plateaus and plains from other parts of the country where the hills reflect back the heat from the thirsty earth in mockery to the parched and uncomfortable residents—they act as a tonic which, soothes. Oftentimes the remark of a tourist about our beautiful hills draws a chuckle from the native. It seems queer to one who has become accustomed to the pleasant recrea tional opportunities of this wonderland of ours, that any one should draw sentiment from the hills which have be come so monotonous to persons who have always lived among them. Yet, let the person who scoffs at the lovli- ness of our wooded lands go but a few miles in any direc tion from home and they will soon find that there is com fort in these hills. Nature has been kind to Southern Oregon. She has given us a climate which is incomparable. She has wooded our hills and valleys. She has stocked our streams. Besides these facts she has filled our valleys with a fer tile and prolific soil. We can but hope that the people of COME INTO the G A R D E N Just another good PREPAREDNESS L ittle C harlie; Yoa do look Urvd, thing added to the mother.

WHY CAMELS ARE THE BETTER CIGARETTE Camels contain such tobaccos a n d such blending as have never been offered in any other cigarette. They are made o f the choicest Turkish a n d American tobaccos grown. Camels are always smooth a n d mild. Camel quality is jealously m aintained . . . by the w orld’s largest organization o f expert tobacco men . . . it never varies. Smoke Camels as liberally as you choose . . . they w ill never tire your taste. N or do they ever leave an unpleasant after-taste. FILED UP F ather: I hear you are always at the bottom of the class.
