The Coconino sun., 1919-01-03

 We are perhaps through with house to house canvasses, of which the past years have been so full, but should one be made at the beginning of this New Year to enroll all who are grate. ful and starting with fresh courage to find what this year of 1919 holds for them, how many names would we have? We have all been battered by what has been happening, but our generous giving and giving again, comes primarily from a spirit of gratitude that we are here. That was our war spirit but its a mighty good spirit in which to "carry on."
 Let's keep this feeling of gratitude warm within us.
 One thing we can give as well as hold is our friendship. Have you a good friend? Of course you have, every one has friends, but every one does not hold the friendships they make. Friendships should be so rare as not to be held lightly and thrown away. And yet many people are not careful to retain their friends. There are great many ways of losing friends; some lose them through in attention, some drop old friends for new ones, some take offense at imag- ined sights or neglect, some become inpatient of little faults and often dis card the truest friendships. Some fly from friendship to friendship like birds from bough to botgh but make no nest for their heart in any But let this not be said of any of us. Let us resolve in this 1919, year of years, as many choose to predict it, that we will cherish our friendships as rarest jewels.
