QUESTION OF FIRE MOTOR
TRUCK GOES OVER UNTIL
WINTER TEST

The committee, appointed some time
ago for the purpose of considering the
advisability of putting in our fire de-
partment a motor truck to take the
place of horses, met last evening in
the board of trade rooms, with the fol
lowing members present, Harry Jack
son, chairman of committee; j. A.
Clay, secretary; A. P. Camp, R. q.
Sloan, C. C. Chapman, f. X. Graham
and G. H. Charlton.
The members, who had been making
very thorough investigation of the
motor truck as applicable to Duran
go's needs, discussed every phase Of
the question and came to the conclu-
sion that the use of the motor truck
in the fire department here is perfect
ly feasible, but thought that the mat
ter of purchasing a fire truck should
be postponed at least until the winter
months when it would be better test
if there should be any doubt in the
minds of the Durango people. The
chief reason for not putting in the
motor truck now is for financial rea-
sons. The committee passed resolu-
tions to this effect which will be pre-
sented to the council this evening. 1t
will be remembered that this com
mittee was appointed to assist tbs
council in the consideration of this
matter. We have learned that the
committee has availed themselves oi
every means to decide this question
and no doubt they have acted wisely

MODERN wooDMEN TENT COTTAGE.

modern farming means. the exercis-
ing of good common sense in our
work. Some people think the
farmer works harder and longer
hours than men in other vocations.
In fact the average tenant farmer
works fewer days in the year and
in spite Of his poor methods gets
greater returns for the actual labor
done than the man he enyies in
other lines of work.
We repeat that farming when in
telligently carried on is today the
most profitable levocation to be found
as we'll as the most independent.
The exercise of good common sense
with energy will win every on the
farm. In many cases we expect
the farm to do more than its share;
if we will treat the soil fairly it
will do its share and never shirk.
Printers ink marks the path to
riches and fame. Try it.
