I,OWIK QjEVEltAL yenra age there was published J by the United Htatcs Oeu'riiment, under the supervision of the then Secretary of the interior McLnne, it most beautiful book of photographs of the lintieual parks of the country. The mcre turning ever of the pages wits enough te make one patriotic and ox ex nltcd. The pictures were pronounced by ex perts te be liner than anything that had yet been accomplished in photography. Uncle, sain certainly could have spared no expense te make them the "best ever," it being the tieernmcnt's.idea te "enthuse" Americans about their nntlennl parks se that the would vote mere money for their censervutldii and for adding te the number by setting aside mere nnd mere grpnt spaces of forest and river and mountain scenery for public en joyment. Then the war came and another kind of propaganda was In order.

It will be about the greatest thing in pictures that has ever come te Hhiladelphln, and I nm wondering why se small a hall was taken. Tt Is the sort of Information and illustration thut if children could be get in terested in would help the future of the natlenul parks idea mere than n little. Of course, theoretically exery one believes in the Government's acquiring land for nub ile parks, but If it In geed laud nnd likel) te be profitable for town sites, or for mines, or for hdntiug grounds, or for lumber, or for water power, then the inhabitants there abouts wish the Government would ehoe&e some ether wonder of the world and leave theirs te be exploited for private picnlii parties or for hemethlng that they could reap the almighty dollar bj holding en te.

The cattle were branded nnd allowed te graze for months en the "no mini's. Jiuid" of the F. S. A. It was very convenient, and it cost nothing.- It xvn s felt that however great the pleasure of the reurisi might be ever the scenery, and however future generations might enjoy the preservation of the land and river and mountains in their pristine beauty. it might -pell i uiu for mere than one cattle, bleeder. I suppose dure is always a ceed reason why ii geed ihing should net be done.
