This is a sample of what we have seen almost daily in the morning papers : " Large forest fires are raging at Harvey's Lake, twelve miles from Wilkesbarre. Fifty men are fighting the flames, and it is hoped they will be- able to save the cottages in the vicinity".

In New Jersey alone the damages this year will not be less than $1,000,000. Fifty men clearing out underbrush and dead material from forest land, would render these forests secure and save the millions annually lost by fire. All we can do is to reiterate these facts. It may some day be somebody's business to get legislation in this direction.
