The meeting will be under the auspices of the Washington Con- servation Association, and is held with the approval of conservation commis- sions and committees of states, and of the joint committee on conservation be- tween states and nations. This will be the first of a general conservation na- ture that has been held in the United States; other conservation congresses have held sessions, but their work has been carried out along certain special- ized lines. In the National Conserva- tion congress, all related and interde- pendent resources of the nation will receive consideration. The members will be drawn from representatives of each of the important industries and callings of the people of our country. At the meeting it is possible that dele- gates will be selected to attend the International meeting at The Hague. Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt probably best defined conservation when he said: "The conservation movement is the application of com- mon sense to common problems for the common ; It is for the dis- seminating of the principles of conser- vation that the congress is called, and In no other place are greater oppor- tunities for its practical appliance to be found, than in the northwest part of the United States. Forestry, fish- ing, irrigation, dry farming, water- ways and good roads are but a few branches pertaining to the common good which will be considered, and the importance of the movement is, or should be, of the greatest Interest to every citizen of the country. Many persons of national prominence will be present, and hopes are now enter- tained that President Taft will be a speaker. A FEW GOOD THINGS YOl WANT. Rex Begonia,
