Forest Fires Caused
 Serious Damage.

Albuquerque, Dec. 16, 1918.-
 That forest fires in the Southwest caused serious damage during the
 past year is indicated by statistics
 recently compiled by the District
 Forester dealing with the forest fire situation in Arizona and New
 Mexico during the past season, On the National Forests in these two States 795 fires occurred, of which 647 were under 10-acres. The fires covered a total area of B, ,658 acres, of which 30, 706 acres were timbered land. The damage amounted in money value to the sum of $15,5 and the total cast of fighting fire was SIS, 400.
 Of the total number of fires, 442 were started by lightning; the balance were man-caused fires.
 The conditions which existed on the Forests during the past according to the District Forester's statement, were very conducive to the start and rapid spread of fire on account of the drouth, and it was only by vigil ance on the part of Forest Officers everywhere that the area and damage was kept to the compar- low figures.
 Continued efforts will be made by the forest service for the inn of fire prevention and suppression through the better ment of telephonic communica- tion, improvement of trails. the purchase of more fire fighting equipment, and by publicity. Nearly half of the fires of last season were man-caused, and there is apparently a great duty incumbent on the users of the forests to see that responsibility for carelessly left fires is not laid at their doors.

Albuquerque, Dec IS, 1918.- The Forest Service is negotiating with the War Department on the question of securing various items of army equipment for the use of field employees, according to a statement just issued Ey the Dis trict Forester.
 The equipment asked fer in- cludes automobiles, motor-trucks motorcycles, tents, cooking uten- sils and bedding for use in trans porting and taking care of forest fire fighters, as well as miscellan- eous equipment such as riding and pack saddles, canteens, bino- culars, carpenter tools, and host of other equipment which the army possesses in huge guanti- ties. According to local officials, the past policy of the government has been to dispose of surplus equipment by sale to the highest bidder, whereas it is now pro- posed to furnish to the various government bureaus such equip ment as they actually need and which would otherwise have to be paid for from funds in the treasury,

There are few indeed who es- cape having at least one cold dur ing the winter months, and they are fortunate who have but one and get through with it quickly and without any serious conse- quences. Take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and observe the directions with each bottle, and you are likely to be one of the fortunate ones. The worth and merit of this remedy has been fully proven. There are many families who have always used it for years when troubled with a cough or cold, and with the very best results. Adv.

 President, American Red Cros s.

Persons who have joined the Red Cross in 1918 do not hold a membership for 1919 unless they have joined since Sept. 1, 1918. Because you donated to the Unit ed War Work fund, don't think you have donated to the Red Cross. They received none of those funds.

 This war against tuberculosis has become a fight against virtu- ally all disease. Thousands of lives are being saved from con- sumptives' graves every year through the aid of the Red Cross.
 Be sure you have your 1919Red Cross Service Flag in your win dow and are wearing your mem bership button before Saturday night. Xmas seals to put on your Xmas packages are given with each membership.
 The Red Cross is supported by President Wilson and all national leaders, as a necessity. If you have not yet had an opportunity to join, see your local committee or an authorized worker at once in any store in town.
