Snow, Custer, superintendent of the Harney national forest.

Only .16 of an inch of rain in (lie forest in the past 25 days has placed the area In an extremely hazardous condition. A spark, he said, could set off a blaze that would reduce the forest to ashes, and only careful watching and co-operation" of the public will carry the Hil'a through the danger period. Anyone seeing a fire, or what they think might be a fire, is urged to report it to the nearest i anger station immediately, and every man, woman and child in the Hills is asked to be on hir, or her guard against accidentally starting a fire. "The condition is more than ser ious," eaid Snow, who also report ed that a fire on Sweetwater, southwest of Deadwood, has about burned itself out.

And if she wants to develop it, I'll be pleas ed." Wants Son To Preach Dr. Peale would like his 10' month-old Bon, John, to enter the ministry some day, but he'll never urge him. Minister must feel an intense conviction," he says, "and that can't be shoved on you by parents. As a case In point, he cites his own decision to enter the mlnis try. He had begun a newspaper ca reer and was about to accept the city editorship of a small dally when an urge to become a minister, as hiij father had been, became too strong to subdue.

If his son chooses the ministry, Dr. Pcale wants him to feel a like urge.

Reading Bible storied, singing hymns and saying nightly prayers form a normal portion of their home routine. Margaret ends her recital of "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" by asking the Lord's blessing for everyone, including her baby rabbit.

The minister has definite ideas about marriage. If Margaret wanti to marry as early as 18, he'll not prevent her. "Get married early," he advises. "I've seen too much unhappiness as the result of long-deferred marriages. It's normal to be married young."

Deadwood Days Of '76 Differ But Little From Days Of '37 Deadwood, Aug. 28 Reminiscent of write-ups in the Deadwood Pion eer-Times of 60 years ago, when men were men and women were scarce, is the following story, which ran In that paper Friday: "Ted Welch, Deadwood, a gentle man of leisure, pleaded guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct when arraigned before City Justice A.

Puthoff last evening and was fined $10 and costs and sentenced to 30 days in jail, the latter part of the sentence being suspended upon promise of good behavior in the fu ture. "Welch was taken into custody by Police Chief Dick Costello after he kicked up a rumpus at the Shy Ann rooms, 612 Main street, and punched Winifred Arndt, an Inmate around a bit. Winifred retaliated in kind and whanged Ted -over the noggin with a club, making it nec essary for him to seek first-aid treatment from a physician." President Likely To Tour The West Hyde Park, N. Aug. informed sources let it be known today that the chances were good for President Roosevelt making a western trip this fall.

Summer white house officials, meanwhile, would neither confirm nor deny a report by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer that the chief executive definitely was planning a cross-country journey to obtain first-hand injumation on new deal "accomplishments" in the northwest. In the absence of confirmation from the president himself, all they would say was that iuch a trip had been under consideration. At his press conference in Wash ington last Friday the president said he had made no engagements beyond 17. Many of the president's advisers have been urging him to tour the far west before congress reconvenes to see for himself the sentiment of the people on the court issue and other administration proposals sidetracked at the last session. That such a journey, if made, would gee tho president delivering at least a few speeches in behalf of his program is regarded in authoritative quarters as virtually certain.
