HOT THE" STATES BUT YOUR UNCLE May Say the Final Word on Conservation, Rules the ' Supreme Court. Washington. May 2.4-The legal battle against the forest reserves of the Went In particular and conservation by the Federal Government of natural resources In general was lost Monday In the supreme court, of the United States. ' ' -' j The tribunal .not only upheld the constitutionality of the' eatabllahment of the vast reserves for any national nd public purpose, but It settled once and for all that the Federal Government and not the states may say how the reserves may be used. . The Immediate results of the conclusion of the court are that Fred Light,

a Colorado cattleman, win remain joined from allowing his cattle to grate on the Holy Cross Forest Reserve In Colorado and that Pierre Orlmaud, K. P. Carajous and Antonio Inda, California sheepmen, must answer to the Indictment charging them with grazing sheep upon the Sierra Forest Reserve without a permit , in violation ef regulation 45 of the Secretary of Agriculture and the statute of congress of 1891. Two Opinions Made. The subject was dealt with in two opinions delivered by Justice Lamar. The entire court concurred. The basis principle-upon which -be proceeded was that "the nation is an owner and has made t congress .the principal agent to dispose of its property." , "The "United States can prohibit absolutely and fix the terms on which its property may be used," said the Justice In the Colorado case. 'As it can withhold or reserve the land, it can do so Indefinitely. It Is true that the United States does not and cannot hold property, as a monarch may for . private and . personal purpose. But that does not lead to the conclusion that It Is. without the rights Incident to ownership, for the constitution declares that congress shall have the power to dispose of and make all needful rules and regulations belonging to the United States! ". In the California case Justice Lamar upheld the rules the Secretary of Agriculture had promulgated for control of the reserves.' He said "the violation of reasonable rules regulating the use , and occupancy; of the property Is made a crime.' not by the Secretary of Agriculture; but ;by congress." , It was difficult, he said, to separate the legislative power to .make laws and the administrative' power to promulgate rules and regulations to put the laws into force . A "The offense Is not against the Secretary, but as the Indictment properly concludes, contrary to the laws of the United States and the peace and dignity thereof.'" . COURTSHIP IN MARRIAGE. ' Many men, are prone to consider that their courting days end with mar rtage, but the little attentions which the wife' used to delight. In are still dear to her. Maybe flowers and candy are too expensive now, but a man can bring Joy to her heart by making her work easier. . '. Have her try a cake of Hewitt's clean, white. Easy Task soap. It will dor half of the work which has been wearing her out; she can keep her hands soft and white, and the house will be kept neat and clean.

AN ENDLESS CHAIN LEnEjHSFOUGHT Richmond Postal Authorities Aid in General Campaign Against It. Information received by the local post office authorities from a well known woman of the city last week has led to the disclosure that an endless-chain letter, which pon office inspectors throughout the country have been trying to - break up for many months, has been largely circulated throughout Richmond. The letter states that if 5,000,000 used stamps are sent to "Miss Mills" of Philadelphia within a certain time they will provide for the erection of a children's ward In a hospital in Australia, aud the request Is made of the receiver

that he or she send ten canceled stamps to Miss Mills and three letters to friends, asking them to do likewise. In this manner an endless chain is created. The purpose of the scheme seems to have completely baffled the postal authorities. As canceled stamps are absolutely valueless there is no apparent fraud, and yet- it Is believed there Is something behind the scheme despite its seeming ridiculousness. Several post office inspectors have branded it as an act of a person of an unbalanced mind. The mall has never been called for at the Philadelphia office. Local authorities became aware of the presence of the chain In Richmond last week when a prominent woman resident consulted them regarding sending out other letters as the one she received had requested. She said she was afraid there was something wrong in the affair but she also had fear that if she didn't do as requested she might lose an opportunity of helping a worthy cause. Local officials who had heard of the chain in other cities, advised her against mailing the letters and they were withheld. In vestigation showed there have been a number of Richmond residents who have received letters of the same chain and have kept it intact by sending out others according to the request.

UriCLE SAM HELPS III MOSQUITO WAR How to Prevent . Breeding - -Places Shown : in Re- ' cent Bulletins,

Washlngton, May 2. War on the mosquito aa well as on the house fly has been declared by the department of agriculture. As a dissimilator of disease the mosquito is branded as being as great an menace to humanity as the fly. L. O. Howard, chief of the bureau of entomology, has issued a bulletin on the protection of communities from mosqultos. He lays stress on the necessity of abolishing breeding places of the insect pest. "Since tbe discovery that mosqultos are not only nuisances, but are also conveyers of malaria, yellow fever, filariasis and dengue fever, a great deal of remedial work has been done by individuals and communities," says the bulletin. Screening the Rain Barrel. "Where the rain barrel and rain water tank are necessary they should be screened. The waste places in the immediate vicinity of a house should be carefully searched for tin cans, bottles and wooden or tin boxes in which water can accumulate, and all such receptacles should be destroyed or carried away. The roof gutters of every building should be examined to make sure that they are not clogged so as to allow the water to accumulate. Where the branches of tall trees over hang roofs this is especially likely to occur by agency of falling leaves or twigs. In Marshy Ground. "In slightly marshy ground a favorite breeding place is the footprints of cattle and horse, in one cvountry village, which contains many small vegetable gardens in clay soil, during a rainy season mosqultos were found breeding abundantly in the water ascumulating in the furrows. "Even in the house these mosqultos breed in many places. Where the wa ter in flower vases is not frequently changed mosqultos will breed. They will breed in water pitchers in unused guests rooms. They will breed in pipes and under stationary washstands, where these are not frequently, In use, and they will issue from the sewers in back yards of the city houses during the dry spells in summer time, when the sewers have not been recently fulushed by heay rains 'Thousands From 8mall Space "Public dumps are great breeding places, because here accumulate old bottles, cans, boxes, bits of tin or iron Vessels and other objects in which water may accumulate for a time. Even a, small amount, of .water will make a breeding place for many mosqultos. It is quiee possible for a half of a beer bottle to contain enough water to give o" literally thousands of mosqultos." "All -such breeding places should be abolished by covering, draining or treating with kerosene. To seep mo quitos away temporarily, campher, oil of pennyroyal, oil of peppermint, lem on juice, vinegar, oil of tar and oil of citronella are recommended. A few drops on the face and hands or on a towel hung over the head of the bed are sufficient. The commercial fisheries of the United States have an annual value to the fishermen of $62,000,000. jvayser You

LOOKED LIKE WRECK

Bill Van Sickles a Battered Man. Badly When William Van Sickles was brought into police court this morning, to face a charge of drunk, there was a murmur of sympathy. One eye was closed, and one ear clotted with blood. Dabs of blood were over his face and clothes. Van Sickles hobbled along on one leg, assisted by a patrolman, and one hand hung stiff at his 'side. It was truly "a mo6t bloody sight." After Van Sickles had been careful ly propped up in a chair with his "off" foot stuck up in front of him, he look ed at the court out of one eye and sorrowfully plead guilty. The man received four and a half months In the county janL i4h He was given a lecture by the court. Some time ago, Van Sickles"s wife sued for divorce, alleging that her husband threatened to kill her at various times and that he was a habitual drunkard. Through the efforts of Sheriff Al Steen, the man and woman were brought together again and the divorce proceedings quashed. He was reproved by the court for striking at the man who had helped him. Van Sickles did not seem to mind the lecture, but sat nursing his injured "paw" like a huge grizzly bear. He was quiet and made no resistance, when he was taken to the county jail.
