You are if you have a dirty back yard, an uncovered garbage pull, an unprotected well, an open or broken sink drain, a neglected privy, exposing its contents to the flies, draining into any water supply, or contaminating your garden vegetables. A manure heap, a filthy corral, uncovered barrels, buckets or tin cans containing water that provide mosquito breeding places, weeds growing around your premises, run down or unpainted buildings and fences. Look around and see if there is not something for you to do: Protect your family from disease and discomfort, make your home more pleasant and beautiful, help make your community a safe and healthy place in which to live, be a good neighbor and a good citizen. Dont be responsible for sickness and One of the feature exhibits for National Forest Week in Salina this week, is the splendid display made at the Lewis Drug company by Albert ' Albftris.an,ranger for the Fishlake While emblems National forest. demon were displayed showing fire wrecking forests and foliage, making bare the water sheds, another feature showing the successful efforts of eradicating poisonous weeds, giving statistics in the valuation of the loss of stock which roam the forests, n Through the agencies of the ment experts, experimental stations are maintained throughout the try and here studies and effects of the various weeds poisonous to sheep and cattle are made.

Through the consistent, advertising of the management, the news has been broadcast and Salina is certain to have a banner crowd. While t a novelty to many, airplanes there are some who have not as yet seen the mechanical eagles soaring in the air and the coming event promises to be interesting to all. To show-thfast progress of the airplane in commercial and .passenger use, announcement is made that between now and the first of June, there will be three and a half times as many airplanes delivered by the various factories, as are flying today. There was an increase during 1927 from 67 to 117 factories established and it is predicted that during 1928 will see at least 250 factories operating in building airships. That airplane flying is safe is vouchsafed by the announcement of the survey recently made by the aeronautical department of the United States Chamber of Commerce. This report stated that there was only one fatality for 1,340,872 passenger-pilo- t miles traveled. Statistics also show that the airplane is a safer means of transportation than by bus, watnew airports er or rail. Forty-tw- o are being established in Utah this year, showing the increasing interest in the latest and quickest modes of transportation. Franklin S. Nelson, a graduate from the Kelly field, in Texas, and where Colonel Lindberg got his training, will be here on the aviation days set for Gunnison. Mr. Nelson will pilot the trips that are to be made demonstration during the here. ing. deaths of cattle and sheep from all poisonous plants, also . furnishes food for thought. The total loss of are-no- cattle for four years,' from 1924 to 1927, inclusive, as compiled at the offices of the Fishlake forest at Richfield, shows that 1,011 were .kil- led through eating all kinds of poisonous weeds.

In a recent proclamation, dent Coolidge designated the week 8 of April as the 1928 American Forest Week and urged the. people of the United States to join in its observance, to the end, he said, that energetic forest policies will be adopted in all communities. Prevention of fire will be stressed during American Forest Week this year, it being pointed out that the red terror is the chief enemy of the Forests. The rehabilitation of our forests demands first of all that the forest fire evil be suppressed, the President declared. Many of the forested States, with the cooperation of timberland owners, have undertaken organized protection against forest fires; and in recent years, under the law, the Federal government has given its support to This great cooper.the movement. ative enterprise must be extended and strengthened until every forested county in the United States is safeguarded against forest fires. But we are still far from the goal of complete protection. Every year, on the average, 80,000 fires scourge our woodlands, steadily undermining their vitality. For this bad situation, the blame falls equal- ly on us all. Public agencies rarely provide adequate protection against fire, the timberland owner is too often indifferent to his property, the forest worker is too often neglectful of the future forest, the average citizen is too often careless with fire in the woods. We must all gain auch resPect for the forest that its -- I 22-2- $10,750 9,560 7,560 7.344 The total market value of the cattle killed, numbering 1,011 during! the four year period, from all poisonous weeds, shows the amazing total of $35,214. Until 1927 all kinds of poisonous weeds resulted in death of sheep at a tremenduous rate. The number of fatalities from sheep during 1924 was 1,084; in 1925, 1,139; 1926, 1,450, and in 1927, the total was only 829. Clarke-McNar- y .

In the observance of .Amerloan Forest Week this year, pubiio spirit- ed citjZens in all parts of the coUn- try are taking an active part. Tha American Forest Week CommitUa, of which Theodora Roosevelt of Haw York is chairman, has been orgaa-- . ized to direct and coordinate the many activities for the Week. The committee is composed of more than jqq organizations representing every conceiVable form of interest the Federal Government, State Governments, outdoor, wild life and recreational interests, foresters and forestry associations, the lumber industry, large consumers of forest products, labor, groups interested in water resources, scientific and civic womens organisaorganizations, tions, newspaper ipublishers, boys and girls organizations, and a host of others. Local committees are serving each State, all working to carry to the people the message of forest conservation and protection. Although the subject of forestry covers a wide field and the development of Americas forest resources presents many problems, the principal ideas being emphasized this week are the protection of the forests from fire and other causes of devastation, and the need of reforestation and sound timber management to restore and maintain in a productive condition the vast areas burned-oveof and Idle land which at present are making no contribution to the wealth of future timber supply of the country. The forest problem, it is declared, touches practically all citizens of the country, each of whom can contrib- ute to onservation and forest development by care with fire when ha frequents the woods as well as by lending intelligent . and understand ing support to the furtherance of better forestry conditions locally and ' nationally, ENTERTAINS FOR BRIDE.
