farmers, and during the summer months we are subjected to endless annoyance, not only by having produce stolen which is near the highway, but also by having passers-by wade through corn and grain fields in order to get to the less convenient crops. City dwellers seem to have the erroneous idea that country property, no * matter where located, is for their delight and use. A farm wife, living not far from here, found automobilists in her front yard picking her choice roses. When she remonstrated, they affected surprise at her interference and retreated in anger. An extreme case, you say. Yes, but there are too many such.

The paragraph in your publication to which I am referring may do no harm. Probably it will not. But all of us could travel de luxe if we saw fit to "borrow' as that quartette did.

Now that I have relieved my mind, let me say that I know that you do not approve of that sort of thing. But it is the hit hen that flutters, and we have been hit many times. I have read The Outlook for twenty years, always with the keenest interest and with the feeling that one of your basic principles is that of a square

III-ROBBING THE PUBLIC OF ITS
RIGHT TO BEAUTY

I came home from a canoe trip with my husband and three children sick at heart. I was thinking after many experiences that the average American family needed educating along the line of caring for and enjoying the most beautiful spots out of doors.

I have canoed over a big portion of the north country. I have been auto-bumming. I have camped in our National Parks, and it is one and the same story. Paper, cups, tin spoons, soiled paper plates, oiled paper, newspapers-all left as litter to blow where they will, leaving not a pláce for the next party to eat or camp.

In Glacier National Park there are signs posted to clean up rubbish; yet all along the trails from one end to the other are remnants of lunch-boxes.

After canoeing down the beautiful St. Joe River, we camped for a number of days at Higman Park, St. Joseph, Michigan. It was a sad sight to see one party in particular at Higman Park build a fire against one of the beautiful gate pillars, which are made of Bedford stone and де brick.

0!

Picnic party after picnic party came in + and the débris blew into my camp until I was disgusted. After one particular party had packed up I said to my children, "I am going to take these overdressed Americans to task." I approached them courteously and I said, "Is it possible that you are going away and leave your picnicgrounds looking like this, and leaving your papers to blow into my camp?" "Yes," they said, and laughed. I said, "Talk about vandalism-you.are the best example I know. Don't come again." As they were leaving they yelled, "Just pick up the papers and build your fire."

ゴー

Farmers let me roam their fields to study birds where it is thickly posted with signs "Keep Out." I treat other people's property as I would want mine treated, and I am always invited to come back.

It is the fault of every individual camper and picnicker that places of beauty are gradually being closed to the public. Goshen, Indiana,

GOATS

In The Outlook, date of July 14, is a review of Rockwell Kent's book, "Wilderness. One paragraph reads as follows:

[ocr errors]

In the other class are the drawings which are mainly concerned with portraying the life of the artist, his son, and their companion, "old man Olson," on the island, surrounded by the animals of the Arctic regions and the wild glories of the aurora borealis. It is difficult to express any preference between the shining symbolism of the one class and the human beauty of the other.

The island mentioned is called Fox Island, an unsuccessful attempt having been made at one time to establish a fox farm there. It is a mountain at the entrance. of Resurrection Bay, and lies some eight or ten miles south of the town of Seward. The bay is always free from ice, and supplies can be obtained from the town. The temperature at Seward is seldom below zero, and probably differs little from that of the island. Probably the nearest proach to "animals of the Arctic regions are the possible traces of some domestic goats shipped in from the States and at one time herded on the island by " old man Olson." The "wild glories of the aurora borealis," while strikingly beautiful here, are said by those who have lived in the far north to be but a faint reflection of the aurora borealis as seen in the Arctic regions.

A spoonful of Eno in a glass of water makes a refreshing, bub-
bling drink. It promptly gives tone to the system by removing the
cause of lassitude. The entire digestive tract is stimulated into
healthful action; and headache, nausea, biliousness and nervous-
ness quickly vanish. A bright eye-an active mind-a vigorous
step-and regular habits-so characteristic of buoyant good
health, follow the occasional use of Eno.

Eno can be taken anytime, anywhere, by child or adult-with
perfect safety and most satisfactory results. It is sold by all
druggists at $1.25 a large bottle.

That was a picturesque ship-launching a few weeks ago when Mrs. William F. Cody, widow of "Buffalo Bill," christened the steel cargo-carrier Cody at the Hog Island shipyard. Mrs. Cody is seventyseven years old, and she traveled 2,500 miles to christen the ship in honor of her noted husband and of the war work of the citizens of Cody, Wyoming.

An ill-dressed and slouchy man, so a writer in "Harper's Monthly" says, entered a haberdasher's shop in Kansas Cityand demanded silk shirts. The salesman showed some at twelve dollars each. "Are those the best you have?" The haberdasher coughed and finally admitted that he had a line at fifteen dollars. The customer took three, and drew out a crisp fifty-dollar bill. The salesman thought of the change. "Perhaps you would like some collars too?" he suggested. The suggestion met with an instant negative: "I have never worn a collar in my life, and I don't intend starting in now."

On Johnny's first day at school, says the "Argonaut," he was given a registration card on which his mother was to write his birth record. The following day he arrived without the registration slip. "Johnny," said the teacher, "you must bring an excuse for being tardy, and don't forget the slip about when you were born." All out of breath, the next day Johnny rushed in, holding a note from his mother. "Teacher," he gasped, "I brought the excuse for being tardy, but I forgot the one for being born."

The damage done by the Bolsheviki, the writer declares, was only temporary. "It takes a good deal of dynamite to bring down a steel bridge of solid Russian construction," he says. The running schedule is slow. "Russian trains are run on the staff system. The steel staff, maybe two feet long, is the engineer's authority to proceed, and it is released in each station through an electrical device by the station-master at the stop ahead."

You can't fool a smart American. nelius Husk, on his first visit to the seaside, says a paragrapher, went down to the beach at low tide, and saw a big fishing smack lying high and dry on the mud flats. "Hey, mister," he said to a fisherman, "how do you get that big boat down to the water?" "We don't take the boat down to the water, mate," said the fisherman. "The water comes up to the boat." Cornelius Husk gave a harsh laugh. "Say, mister," he said, "I may be from the country, but I ain't goin' to swaller that."

From the London "Morning Post:" A French boy in an English school " when it should have been "to." His master was pleased to be sarcastic, and said (we can only represent it arithmetically): "There are three 2's in the English language. Write that out twenty times and then perhaps you will remember it." After puzzling for a while the boy asked how it was to be done, and the master had to admit that he was bowled out.

Life insurance policies of over a million dollars are not uncommon now, according to a daily paper. In Chicago alone several men carry policies of that amount or more. In one recent instance the president of a big Chicago company had his life insured for $1,250,000 in favor of the company. The corporation itself will pay the premium, amounting to $62,500 per annum, it is stated. Evidently the services of this man are regarded as so exceptionally valuable that the company believes it should discount his possible loss.

From "Meggendorfer Blaetter," of Munich.:

Slim Poet (to poetess of ample proportions)-"I have read your poems, Miss Flora. Do you get your ideas from experience?"

"No. They come from within."

"Then we may expect many more volumes from you?"

The worship of pedigree and title is satirized by a writer on "Snobocracy" in this anecdote of the conversation of two women of fashion: 66 I come from a very old family," said the first; "one of my ancestors was beheaded during the reign of Henry the Eighth." "How perfectly lovely!" sighed the other.
