The Waterbury Record reminds the peo-
pie Of its community that strong efforts
must be made if the granite manufacture
ing firm which was recently burned out
is to be kept in town; and the contcm-
porary is right for the tendency always
is under reverses like that of big fire
to revert to the center of the industry,
where conditions are more favorable for
maintaining the business.

Thaw's Christmas gift OF $500 to the
gatekeeper in charge of Matteawan asy-

a half ago might appear to some people
like prima facie evidence; but to Others
1t might appear simply as an indication
OF generous nature predisposed to con-
terring honoraria and actuated in this
instance by the superinduction Of unpre-
lneditated contingencies such as an open
door and waiting automobile.

One more word of caution regarding
the dressing up OF Christmas trees: Do
not place candles on unstable founda-

FIRE PREVENTION
HAS SHORTAGE
Because Of Graet Danger from Forest
Fires in 1914 Deficit Amounts to
S34o, 243.

The season of 1914, according to the
officials of the forest service, carried
greater danger from fire to the national
forests than any year since the estab-
! lshment of the national forests. To
meet this emergency and to prevent
great loss of public property, the depart.
ment of agriculture was obliged TO ex-
coed the amount appropriated for fire
protection and incur q deficiency of $340,
243. The conditions of drouth and other
factors of forest fire hazard were said to
be worse than in 1910, when the disas-
trous Idaho fires occurred.
Weather bureau reports show that in
most of the Rocky mountain and Pacific
coast region last winters SHOWS were
much below the normal, and as result
there was an early spring and an early
drying out of the forests In western
Montana and northern Idaho there were
forest fires in considerable numbers by the
end of May and they continued until
October. In California, where there is
HoIHdliy very loHB season. VI uIouIHi
the fire season started in some portions
five weeks earlier than usual, and in the
southern part Of the state the fire dan
ger was still great at the end Of Novem-
Der. A long dry season, sustained pc
RODS of high temperature, recurring hard
and steady winds, and, in certain places,
unusually hot, dry nights, rendered the
forests exceedingly inhammable and the
problem of fire prevention unusually diff

More Than 5000 Fires.

The total number of fires during the
season of 1914 which threatened the ma.
tional forests and which had to be han
died by the protective organization of the
/ forest service We're 6,ll2, or about 900
more than occurred in 1910 This num-
| Der represents the fires reported up to
| Dec. |. At that time reports indicated
that there was still dangerous condi-
/ tion in southern California and in certain
/ portions OF the national forests Of the
I East. The service says that the total
for tire year will be increased by fires
in these regions during December.
The most serious conditions are report
ed from western Montana and northern
Idaho and on the Pacific slope. The
weather conditions in the central and
, southern Rocky mountain regions were
more nearly normal. As a consequence
only Is per cent OF the total number Of
all national forest fires occurred in these
regions and they were handled without
difficulty and with very small loss of
property.
OF the entire GLE fires which threat
ened the national forests, 81 per cent
were extinguished by the protective or.

acres. The percentage of fires that
burned over more than 10 acres was
smaller than in any previous year.
While detailed reports have not vet
been received appraising the exact loss
to the government through the forest
fires, a preliminary estimate shows that
the loss OF merchantable timber will
probably not exceed 100000 In 1910
the corresponding estimate of loss was
nearly Sl5.000,000, but later estimates
materially reduced the amount. Through
the work OF the protective force the fires
this year were largely confined TO old
burns and to less heavily tmbered areas
The loss Of the government through the
destruction Of Young trees which had
sprung up in these openings is larger
than the actual loss to green timber.
Region Of Greatest Danger

ERICs ROBIN.
By Virginia Vale.)

Once upon a time as Erie was com ing home from school he heard faint schIrp and looking beside the road under 2 tres saw as poor little robin that had fallen out Of the nest and bruised one of it's wings.
 Eric picked it up and carried 1t home and his father fixed 1t up and they laid 1t in a box with a nice bed of cotton The poor robin was fright ened at first but after little while, it seemed to know that they were try ing to help 1t and by night even ate a 2 The next morning it seemed quite happy in it's new home and had a nice breakfast of bread soaked in varr1l. milk Eric did not want to leave his pretty pet to go to school but his mother said dsshe would take care of 1t
 When he came back at noon he brought two fat worms and he and his mother both laughed to see how quickly the robin gobbIed them up and turned his bright eyes to look for more
 h 2 few days his wing was all well and he had grown very tame. He would fly around the room and even perch Oh Fries shoulder and the back of his chair.
 One day when Eric came home from school his mother told him the robin had flown out of the window and all though she had. left the window open he had not come back. Eric was broken hearted at losing his little pet and would not be comforted for a long time.
 Two days after the bird had gone away as they were eating breakfast Eric heard a noise at the window and looking up saw his robin at the win dow with his saucy head on one side as much as to say: Here am back to see you a1l.'
 Eric opened the window and the bird flew in and perched on the chair He began to sing and fly around and pick up crumbs from the table.
 He did not stay and make his home with them but all that Spring every few days he would fly back and peck at the window to be let in and he aI- ways found hearty welcome from all of them.
