timber, fences, telegrpph and tel-
ephone poles destroyed, but with
no effective means of lighting the
fires, with all vegetation d,ry as tin-
time. Already the loss caused by
destruction is great. The appear-
ance of the air here reminds one of
an Indian summer. At times the
fo'g has been so dense that one
could see no further than three or
four hundred yards.
here i- oin we nre at a loss for an
answer. It is from the southern
part of the state. It is not a good
policy to publish names and ad-
dresses for we want to encourage
all vvbfo are needing -ueh relief to
write to us as it is our intention to
i '':i'inue our camp ign for relief of
tho-e individuals. Here is the let-

we are to lie efficient and active in
the conservation of the life of our
fellow men. Surely since God
made man after his own image,
mtn should be. more precious than
the hog, for Christ drovejthe devils
