Vacationists.
Recreation seekers, numbering
more than three quarters of. a
. million, visit the National For
ests of the East and South each
..year, according to a statement
of District Forester F.wY Reed
ab Washington.
, Motors and good roads, the
statement continues, have com
binecLto effect a radical change
In the outdoor recreation habits
of the American, people. Vaca
tion time is now a period of free
movement, namadic enjoyment
of widely separated scenes, and
of simple living in the open
Rich in scenic beauty and na
tural charm and. offering the
primitive attractions of the wil
derness, the National Forests
afford an incomparable field for
the indulgence of this whole
some tendency toward -rational
play and physical improvement
Within their limits travelers by
motors by wagon, on horseback,
oV on foot, campers, hunters, and
fishermen, amateur photogra
pherSj mountaineers, berry
pickers naturalists, ancf every
body else who wishes to come
have, equal opportunity. Care
- wi(h fire and cleanliness in camp
are the only requirements 'im
posed upon their sojourn. ;
The Wide distribution and ex
; tent of the National forests and
- their'proximity to- thousands-el
cities jmd communities ' make
them natural centers of sum
mer recreation, particularly for
the masses of people, whose va
cation must be inexpensive.
Tfye discouragement of recrea
tional use of the Forests wouh
therefore be a distinct hardship
and failure to develop recrea
tional possibilities would mean
1 withholding a form of public
service jvh ch ranks in social
and indeed economic importance

water-power values of these
. properties ' ' ' .
. Numerous western counties
and.cities now : have programs
of development which provide
for maintaining county or muni--cipal
camps and camp- grounds
within the National Forests. As
the National Forests of the East!
and South grow in area and are
made more and more accessible
to odr massed populations, tills

Such use meansor the Natio

Go-operation. -
It is hard to think of some
people as wanting a thing and
lyet not ready to sacrifice or co
operate in the making possible
certain things. There are in the
county men who before the elec
tion wanted to see the prohibt
tion law enforced and promised
every help for this. In many
localities the Sheriff, has found
hearty co-operation Of the citi
zens but in other those who
cried for it the loudest are. hold
ing back from helping. Sheriff
Ramsey has done all he can and
successfully in riding many
marts of the county from the
rum sellers and makers. How.
ever there are parts where he
has not found this help and it is
hard to do his best hi these pla
ces He is not able to lay out
and hunt ail the time and if the
good citizens of these ' sections
would give the least help and
inform on the' men ana then
witness he would be able to do
something. Don't lay backhand
cry. for a thing and then not
help. Every good citizen ought
to do his best and help. We are
laying it on hard, not mention
ing names but with them in
mind when we say this. Whis
key can be run out and the
County made dry but only
when the citizens feel their re
sponsibility. ' Help the sheriff

MOVIES AND
How Much Alike They Are
Will be the subject of the prelude to the regular evening ser
vice at the Baptist Church Sunday night Those who are opposed to
theNjse'of pictures in the Church are especially invited to be present.
And if they wish to take the" floor in opposition to. what we shall have
to say they will be allowed to do so That is fair, is it not?
, In connection with the service we will have a "Moving Picture
Program," and in presenting it we will use one of the "NIFTIEST"
little machines on the market. It is the very latest thing out in the
way of Picture Projecting Instruments, and up-to-date in every res
pect. If you do not believe it, just come and fito. ' That old saying
it a true one-"The proof of the pudding is in the eating thereof." Nuf
We will take as our,te,xt on Sundny morning one of the grea
test verses in the Bible that which is the key-note of all others
"GODJS LOVE."
The world would never hav kroWn that God is love bad not
God made it known in the Bible. y'To the Bible, then, we must go for
the interpretation of it all, So from a Biblical standpoint, wc will con
sider it and its manifestation on. Sunday morning.
Just a little thought serious one, from Alexander Maclaran, in
closing ''Here is'tho manliness of. manhood, that d man has a reason
for what be does, and has a will in doing it." x

' EVAN RIDGE EVANS,
Board Of Equaliza-
Reading the caption of this
article one would tie it up with
some state commission and think
of taxes. However we are tak
ing this to ccH attention to the
fact that throuhout life' things
eaualuD in the lontr- run ami
when we consider life as a whole
a Hare about equal, in
the distribution and receipt of
the worlds goods and honors.
However we must count all of
life in. There are spiritual val
ues and material values and in
the final balance of all these are
combinedfend what one lacks in
one perhaps they 'will et in the
other. A great deal of the worlds
unrest comes from the fact that
we count the material alone and
then we find that things seem
unequal. Also in this count is to
consider how we have used the
different opportunities' and tal
ents that men have A man may
be rich and envied by mothers as
having so much comfort and
luxury and an easy time in the
worlds We leave out the Board
of Equalization. Instances may
be where a man has money and
has gained it in a way that is not
a blessing to others. Say in the
making of liquor that has been a
curse to many. If is blood mon
ey and in the equalization of ac
counts he' must pay for what he
has done. He maynold all until
his death but the death comes
home to him in his children and
that which he has amassedpill
be before he dies dissapated. He
may be a usuer and. he will receive
only, ;what he has gathered.
Many things which he wants and
strives - for will never be his.
Scruggs in his lonely fireide on
Cbristmas Eve saw -the .' vision of
what he might have gotten;' but
had lost V However he found it
but had lost However he found
it but had lost the many years he
might have had it. . Material
things are line to have but they
may cost us the greatest thiags
in the world. The highest . val
ues'are those which are inside
and in the heart We may kill
these in. the pursuit of the other
things and when we lose those
we have lost the best The scrip
ture had this, in mind when it
fe-as written that all things had
to be considered and not the pre
CHURCHES
sent time benefits only. . There is
over all a direction that looks to
the interest of every one and
sees to it that all get ptheir.dues.
Misfortune comes and we say
that it is because of our unlucki
ness and a persecution because
of no reason whatsoever. Often
times it is the compensating act
of the higher law that has made
all equal. Sooner or later it com-
Z to every one. ,There4 i.,4ak
ance of accounts and when that
comes we can usually tell wheth
er man or woman have enough
of the spiritual values to counter
balance the others. Zacchues of
the gospel checked up and found
himself short in something and
immediately proceeded to rectify
the account and paid the over
draft. He came out all right.

"IF."
. . -
A word of two letters but his
tory has been made and unmade
by just that little word. It is
the sign of the conditional and
the whole of an action depends
on the fulfilling of the condition
There is in everything a cause
and effect. Without the cause
all, is lost No action, no life,
no great event can come to pass
without its cause. It is one of
the great arguments for God,
for the universe, for history and
the little word comes in to show
that the cause is there. If Cain
had not killed Abel, murder
would not have been in the
world. , v .. .
If Judas had not betrayed
Christ, if the Jews had received
him. If Washington had not
crossed the Deleware, if Bleuch
er had arrived, if the horse at
that time had not lost a shoe, if
William 'of Germany had con
quered, history would have been
changed. We can see how the
little word has been the turn
ing point of wars, battles lives'
just because some condition that
was Jacking made the opposite
come true. It is true with every
one that the world plays an
enormous part in the making or
unmaking of the life.
All of us have without doubt
have used the expression many
times and have given as an. ex
cuse the "if and feel that it was
not our fault at all. , All lives
havrf their cause and effect and
we do not meet the conditions
always so as to make a success
of things. Many times 'we. do
not think or realize that: these
two things are in every thing
that has to do with us.
There should not , be, where
we have the control, an if. If
we can fulfill all conditions we
should be able to tell what the
outcome will be. ', .
Life also depends on an if
We will go a certain, place if it
does not rain. . We . will meet
someone if they come. We will
live to an old age if something
does not stop us. We will pay
our debts if we have the money.
It shows also that '"we .are de
pendent on some condition. It
teaches us that we do not live
to ourselves ' If we meet the
condition others will be able to
do things. If men did their
duty the State would be able to
fulfill its obligations. The utter
dependence of all on the ether.
If others do their duty we can
do things. If we fulfill our
trust, others will be able to ful
fill theirs. It shows how inti
mately all are connected.
Business, trade, social life are
possible if all do right Then
when it comes to spiritual things
the if plays a great part. If we
follow the gospeli of love "the
world will be better; if of Hate
the world will go to the dogs. '
If the individual believes , on
God and Jesus he will be saved.
If the nation has God for its
leader, ii will be blessed
It is a little word indeed tut
all ofi life and, death and busi
ness and relationships depend on
it. How has it played in your
life.
