And yet we cannot help but feel that the making of a few additional good resolutions at the beginning of the new year is beneficial, no matter how many of the old ones have faithfully kept. We now have another year behind us, a year that has been In looking back over it if we see worth something in experience. wherein we made mistakes, we can do no wiser thing at this time than If we look to resolve to steer clear of similar ones in the future. back and see wherein we could have benefitted ourselves and the community, and yet failed to do so, now is a good time to resolve to do it before this year also becomes a matter of history. We are wiser than we were a year ago; we are in better position to make good use of the coming twelve months. Resolutions to more generally and more heartily in all movements for the good of the community are in order. Resolutions to stick closer to the institutions of our home town are good when made at any time. But right now, as we enter on a new year, filled with hope and promise, we can do no wiser thing to to mentally resolve that if the community does not prosper in 1924 it will not be because we didnt boost with all the energy and enthusiasm we can muster up. Personally, we take this means of wishing each and every resident of the community a happy and a prosperous year. We trust that good fortune will smile upon you, that you will be blessed with a full share of this worlds goods, and that, above all else, you will enjoy the greatest blessing that can be bestowed upon mankind the blessing of good health. co-oper- Edward Stern, of New York City, indulges in the gentle pastime of collecting stamps, recently paid for a Baltimore postmastei stamp, of the vintage of 1845 and of the value of 10 cents at the time ol The stamp had been hidden issue. in away Italy for more than of a century.

TAKING A CHANCE Most accidents and a majority of the financial setbacks which occurred during 1923 came from taking a chance. Notwithstandall that has said been to assume or continue done, people ing printed risks without proper consideration of the odds. We are too inclined to forget danger until we run into an emergency. We take too many chances at railroad crossings when driving autos; we dart about the steets, ignoring traffic. We are too quick to lend ear to the affable gentleman whose sole stock in trade is a stack of prettily printed stock certificates, bearing a lot of green and red and gold ink, yet worth no more on their face than they would bring as waste Some buy these as carelessly as they run their autos they paper. take chances and a financial accident happens. Dont take a chance is good, sound doctrine. Experience' is the most costly thing in this country, and also the most bitter thing you can buy. And quite often experience is about all we get out of taking a chance. A lliaami! TIIE LICENSE FEES? 8- - Forest fires swept over 373,214 acres of National Forest land during the calendar year 1923, and destroyed timber and property valued at $494,965, exclusive of damage to young growth, states Col. W, B. Greeley, Chief of the Forest Service, in his annual report to the Secretary of Agriculture. The area burned in 1922 was nearly equal to the area swpet by flames in 1921, continues the Chief Foresters report, but the damage was almost twice as great .because of moie serious fires in stands of merchantable timber. d fires again were responsible for 64 per cent of all fires, and lightning fires accounted for about 36 per cent of the total. One of the oustanding facts in connection with the 1922 fire season, states Col. Greeley, is that except for highly localized sore spots of incendiarism, man caused fires on the National Forests seem to be decreasing. The rapidly growing use of the National Forests for recreational purposes would naturally jead to many more smokers and campers' fires, but d fires are undoubtedly decreasing in relation to the greater use of the Forests by the Man-cause- $152,-167,02- ht for state highway departments, millions; Federal aid funds, 34 millions; maintenance of Federal aid roads, 32 millions; construction of other than Federal aid roads, 6 millions; maintenance of other than Federal aid roads, 21 millions; and givmillions. en as aid to counties, 25 New Hampshire collects the largest revenue per individual car or truck, getting an average of $25.73 each, while Arizona is easiest upon car owners from the license standpoint obtaining but $5.69 each. 16 Bullock Dentist At Gunnison:- - Monday, Tuesday .and Wednesday.

The balance is scattered among brush burning, lumbering, and miscellaneous, which latter group includes those fires whose origin could not be determined by officers of the Forest Service. The situation then became critical again. No precipitation of any consequence occurred during September and most of October a very unusual prolongation of the danger period. In Utah, Nevada, southern Idaho, and southwest Wyoming the heaviest expenditures for fire fighting were in late September and early October. In California the peak of the fire season was reached during the latter half of September. 4Despite the prolonged dry period the Rocky Mountain regions had the most favorable season in years, but on the Pacific coast and in the southwestern and eastern States the situation was more difficult than usual. In Oregon and Washington the protective organization was seriously handicapped by the smoke blanket which covered the entire country during the fire season. It cost the Federal Government $674,612 to fight forest fires during No fig1922, Col. Greeley reports. ures on fires for 1923 are yet available, as the fire season, although ended in northern and western forests, is not over in the southern National Forests, where a very unfavorable fire season is being experienced. man-cause- d into - Easy Payments A small down paymentmay be arranged, and monthly pay ments within every home's -- reach.

With improved roads and automobile equipment there is no excuse for any settlement to be without adequate means of preventing fire loss. Too many towns have been relying upon others to do their fighting for them. The Fire Chief, in commenting on this condition says: Suburbs of certain cities have in large numbers been 'beating their way to fire protection by relying upon the generosity of large fire departments to save them from destruction if a fire broke out. The money thus saved, which should have been spent in providing their own fire appartus .they put in their pocket. They wanted to In for hundreds of cases nothing. get something they succeeded.
