nil of these fires lnive liecn extinguished nnl while the forest fire
danger is not over, in fact, the season has only started, the pres
ent outlook, to say the least, is encouriicini;.
XeedlesH to say the recent weather has been, wilb cxtirme
beat mid frequent 'winds, ideal lor the start int? lynl extension of
forest fires. Nevertheless, under most hazardous conditions, the
fires have not only been controlled but extinguished, which calls
attention to the fact that Jackson county has a most efficient fire-
fihtinn service a service that deserves tlic active support and as
sistance of every eitien in southern Oregon.
Therefore, it seems an opportune time to njjain admonish local
people who are motoring to the hills and lakes for climatic change
and recreation, to carefully Observe those common sense "precau
tions, which are essential if Jackson county's present good fortune
is to be continued.
Never leave a camp fire however small, until it has been drown
ed in water, never throw away a smoudering match, or a lighted
cigaret ; and not only should one observe these rules, but should
sec that others do likewise.
In timber lies one of our greatest natural resources. The pro
tection of this resource means material benefit to' every resident of
the community. Therefore, to join actively in the war on forest
fires is merely to assume one of the primarv obligations of eood
citizenship. ... ,
Incidently, it might be noted, that tourists avoid forest 'ire
areas as they would a pestilence. Southern Oregon is now enjoying
the first fruits of what promises to be a record breaking tourist
crop. Co-operation with the fire fighting forces here, therefore,
also means potecting this valuable crop from serious -mutilation.

DRY CLEANERS,
T DO ADMIRE the cleaners who spend their useful lives pro-
viding pies and wieners for children, aunts and wives. For
fair and honest payment they cleanse the pantaloon, renew our
ancient raiment, and rest an hour at noon, lint for their earnest
labors, but for the work they do, the voter and his neighbors
would be a seedy crew. Hut one thing seems surprising I often
wonder why they're always advertising the fact that they are
dry. Since Volstead knocked beer higher than heck we all are
drys; and cleaners are not dryer than any other guys. Dry hat
ters sell us kellys, dry grocers sell us beans, dry bookmen Bell
us Shelleys and Seotts and Laura Jeans. Dry butchers hew'
the mutton on which the people feed, dry tailors sew the but-
ton on gabardine and tweed. Dry authors tell us stories and
thirsty tenors sing, dry statesmen toll of glories their 'policies
will bring. Dry plumbers fix the piping, and men with parch
ing throats arc polishing and wiping the grease marks from our
boats. All honor to the cleaners who make our garments shino,
their diligent demeanor's a thing that's high and fine. But if
they're any dryer than other toiling gents,' arithmetic's a liar,
and not worth twenty eenls. Dry bunkers, clerks and bakers
