A Much Needed
Measure.
- Last Monday in session of
the Commissioners Mr, Foster
the State Forester came and
laid before the commissioners a
plan by which we might avoid
the fires that do such great
damage to' our forests. The
State has in other parts made
arrangements with the counties
by which the county appro
priates some money the state
will appoint wardens who will
help fight these fires. The com
missioners appropriated and
eventual amount that will call
to our aid the whole force of
the State. The expense of the
county will be , only that (of
fighting the fires that come.
However the stite will see that
the patrols watch the forests
and woods and keep the fires
from starting. In each town
ships there will be men who
wil look' to it " that the people
are instructed and shown how
to avoid these fires.
There is a
oheif warden' who will have all
the others under his control and
will direct the crusade. The
commissioners named Mr. Errer -
son as chief warden and are en
trusting to tunu

ILLUSTRATED TRAVEL TALK
Entitled
A Trip Through A State Prison
This is something that every man and woman, boyand
woman, boy and girl should see and hear if it is at all' pos
sible for them to do so. '.-.-
It will be presented in connection with the regular t ser
vices at the Baptist Church Sunday night. , .0
Scenes of foreign countries are interesting : The inte
ior of one of the greatest prisons in the world.' that of ' the
State of Illinois, just South of Chicago, is to many as
strange as that of any foreign country. " '
The object of this Prison Lecture is not merely to en
tertain, but also to give wholesome knowledge s as to how
thousands of our fellow citizens live in '-captivity. , , ,
It will also serve as amoral sermon by showing that
"The Way of the Transgressor is Indeed Hard.". . -
It tells how people get into the Penitentiary.' Also 5iow
they can keep out and what they must eqpect when" 'once
they are on the inside and looking out.
' ONE OF THE GREATEST OF BIBLE TEXTS," will
be the subject of the hour. ,
In the morning we will preach on 'THE LIFE THAT
SATISFIES." : !
Will be glad to see you present. ; ' i

The White House
When the historian records the
finer examples and expressions
of human excellence for 1922, he
may well top the list with Presi
dent and Mrs. Harding's tender
appreciations toward animal life.
In answer to an anonymous let
ter the President took time to
write to Gov. Sproul in Harris
burg to appeal for the life of a
dog belonging to an alien. John
Silverman, being an alien in Pen
nsylvania, had no right to keep
his fine St. Bernard dog and the
court had pronounced the death
sentence for the dog Harding
wrote, "I have tried to put my
self in the position of this poor
immigrant and I know flie per
turbation that fills his ' soul. If
it came within my executive aut
hority I would gladly grant a
pardon to the convicted animal.
I have an abiding faith that the
man who loves his dog to the ex
tent that he will grieve for him
has in him the qualities which
will make him a loyal citizen "
Mrs. Harding answers another
appeal by sending a $lc0 check
to provide for the care of the 51
year old horse, from known re
cords the oldest horse in the
world, In her letter to the own
er, Rev. Dr. Myers, she makes
these beautiful comments: "I
am deeply moved by the sense
of justice and1 gratitude and
faithfulness which compels you
to sacrifice your comfort rather
Lhan kill a splendid horse which
''ffMii11
has given you a long life . of wil
ling service. It seem? a strange ,
ingratitude that demands such a
sacirfice because your failure to a
ttain wealth has not made a cruel
and inconsiderate master of you-
Eor, examples sake, I hope, Clover
will long continue to be the old
est horse in the world, and that
somehow there will grow an im
pression that the loving God nev
er intended either dumb friends
or self sacrificing men to be con
signed to mother earth merely
because the most and best of
their strength has been exhaust
ed in human service."
