Forest Fires Pre vention Work. Cam m the Part of tbePeople WW ******* Most Fire^-Pe^Ry ^ SS^i., Flre-Pmvmthm Correspondence ofThe Matrict Forest Warden F. B MeriH the Geological and Economic Sur *51, #pant the pdst week la Robe county advising with the local foot wardens as to the best meaner which the districts shonid oe jhintHed during the approaching dan gerous fire season. The P***^ goadaOtion in the county consists of M forest wardens and 9 deputy cwa, headed by county warden W. P. Barker. Five more men have indica ted their willingness to assist in the as forest wardens and about 100 deputies will be secured. This should insure a prompt handling of all fires that occur. The work in the county has been progressing, but not nearly as rapidly as could be desired. Too many people jstHl hold the hopeless view that we have always had fires and always will and when a fire is started it can't be stopped. It should require but little seasoning to see that care on the part of people will eliminate over 90 per cent, of all the fires and prompt at tention to such fires as do occur will remit in most of them being extin guished before much damage is done. Another indication that many people do not understand the necessity for forest fire prevention is the number of fire-prevention posters that are tom down. These posters are put up for the benefit of all the people and there is a $6 penalty for tearing them down, but a certain class of people wlH persist in destroying them rather than any other advertisements along the roadB. It is hoped that this prac tice will soon be discontinued. Four convictions have been secured against persons firing the woods in the county and in each cases a fine af $Z6 and costs was imposed.

Toe Rev. M. F. Ham, evangelist, of Louisville, Ky., who is conducting a series of revival meetings in Durham, tjld the university student body in chapel this morning (Oct. 23rd) that statistics assembled by authorized agencies proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that preachers' sons rise highest in all fields of endeavor.
