For the protection of wild life and for the benefit of the public, the State of Missouri has established a set of rules and regulations for its parks and game refuges, some of which are as follows: ul. Hunting with gun, dog, or traps is prohibited and no person shall cage, kill, or take birds, game, or animals in any manner. UZ. No person shall cut, bind or bruise or deface or injure any trees or shrubbery. U3. No person shall fish except by means of pole or rod and line baited with natural or artificial bait. It is not permissible to bait Waters with foocl for the purpose of congregating fish at a certain 'point to be caught later in a legal way. A H4. No person shall take in any one day more than ten pounds of fish from state parks or refuge waters. H5. No person shall be permitted to fish in the waters within the boun- daries of any state park or refuge unless in possession of a fishing license duly issued to such person by the State of Missouri. These rules were formed for the purpose of conserving our wild life and to make our parks more enjoyable places for lovers of the out-of-doors. Mis- sourians have every reason to be proud of their state parks which certainly are preserving and protecting the wild life which everyone so dearly loves. JEANNETTE. ULRICH Twenty-three

Couric-sy of Conservation A FOREST FIRE IN MISSOURI me FOREST fire! A forest fire! Like a hurricane the dreaded word Tv' swirls around the country side. All is in an uproar. Men leave every- thing to stop the oncoming flame. Animals rush through the woods, leaping to get away from it. Birds Hy higher. Woe to the unlucky one who is in its way, for the intense fury of a forest fire stops at nothing! Can we city dwellers stop the ravages of a forest fire? Certainly many times it is our carelessness that causes the outbreak. Safety rules are not much good on paper: but when put into action, they will save a great deal of heartbreak and ugliness. We should not drop lighted matches and should be sure our picnic fire is extinguished. Let's do our part! DORIS MARNER Twenty-Eve
