Would You Wait For Permission

What do you think Of having tel

flock of bears-and then ha ing your
more or less palpitating proposal turn
ed down?
That is what happened to j. w. f1o
dge, fire guard on the Shenandoah
National Forset, few dogs ago.
Hodge was stationed at the look
out tower on Honkey. Mountain. 1t
was his job to scan the skyline and
and to make expert diagnosis Of far
away smoke smudges or any other in
dication of fire. in the forest. This
particular morning when he went tc
the lookout tower on the mountin
top, he failed to attach his gun to his
person. 1t was a mere formality, any
how-and guns are cumbersome
things to carry.
Well he got into his lookout box
and began searching the dim blue dis
tances that look like further fringes
of the world. He was very busy at
that for a while And then his
eyes came back closer home, and what
he saw made him wish for an afro
plane to take him Immediately to one
of those far fringes. Three bers were
browsing around only little distance
from his lookout tower. They were
not apparently giving him any thou
ght, but he did not know how soon
they might become hungry. There be-
ing no airoplane at hand he decided
to use his legs.
Then he remembered he could not
leave his post without permission, so
he called up District Ranger Shanklin

ted permission to go for his gun.H
was promptly told that the thing was

out box. Being a perfectly good forest
guard, he stayed. Fortunately an
other lookout happened to listen in
on the telephone conversation and sue

MORE PEOPLE IN HAWAII

In the ten year period from 1910 to
1920 the population Of the territory
of Hawaii increased from $4,000 to
249,992, a net gain of 58,0S3 accord
ing to official statistics of the latest
federal census just made public here
The city and county of Honolulu, Ca
hu, gained 35,57S while the city Of
Honolulu proper now has popula-
tion Of S0,369, as against 52,1S3 ten
years ago, an increase Of U.s. 1856. The
city proper now has almost as large
q population as the entire island of
Oahu had d decade ago.
It must be kept in mind that in
the census figures no account is taken
of the navel and militry forces sta
toned on the island. And unless Con

fenseless, we shall have here in the
next few years approximately $4,000

117,606, which is Honolulu's actual

for funds he very trlthfully said:
This money is not for the purpose
of building marble halls and frolic
houses, but is to pay the honest
debts of this magnificent organizat

and weary American soldiers who re
ceived their precious blessings in
France, l pledged myself that l
would never be ungrateful to the Sal
walton Army, and therefore, accepted
the task of raising this money, which
must be collected Immediately.

SAVING A HISTORIC SPOT

Important places of national histor-
ic interest are pretty generally known
and carefully preserved, but every
state in the union has some places
of its own that are closely connected
with the history of the country, but
are little known or neglected alto.
gether.
One such spot is to be rescued and
kept for posterity by the children of
the locality. 1t is old Fort Manden,
in Mclean county, S. D., where Lewis
and Clark spent the winter of 1S04-5
of their famous trip to the Pacific
coast. The children of each school
of the county will prepare and stage
dramatizations of the whole expedi-
ton, featuring especially the part of
it which was centered in their neigh.
Dor, hood. The money received for
these exhibitions will be applied to
the purchase of the fort for state
park.
It Is a clever idea for familiarizing
theIschildren., with the share their
state played in great event. OF
course the adult generation will have
it's interest in state history revived as
well, and historic ground which might
otherwise be lost to the people will
be saved for all time.-Pensacola

QUIT FINDING FAULT

We are acquainted with few peo-
pie in Orlando who are continually
finding fault with seyerything. They
find fault With improvements already
done. They usually cannot wait un,
til someone with whom they are talk
ing finishes a conversation until they
begin criticising. If there's any good
in anybody they have never been able
to detect it outside their own circle
of so-called friends. k r.
We do not expect to cure this sit
uation by referring to it, for If we
preached against it every day in the
year, until we were black in the face,
this class of people would not heed.
They are apparently On earth to stay,
for it seems that as soon as one fails
by the wayside another one hobs up
to take his place. But if we could
rid the community in particular and
the world in general Of such class by
devoting our life to the work, without
compensation, we believe we would
he willing to do it for the rest of the
world.
More and more, though, our people
are coming to realize, that the fault
finder is alter all community's
greatest drawback. They are learn
ing to look down upon them as we'll
as to ignore them, and maybe after
all this will be the means of stamping
item out. May be in the years to
come it will be as unpopular to be
pointed out and stunned as a fault
finder as it would to have leprosy.
And therein lies possibly our great
est hope-that the world will some
day learn to point them out and con.
denim them as they justly deserve to
be.-Orlandoo Reporter-Star.

can get them cheap. If you do, you
can't find a hammer or a saw when

through the whole pile ~
It's much simpler to remember

Then you'll be able to remember
the few important things, opportuni.

few important things in your mind is
comparatively simple. First, get a

Second, repeat it or rewrite it sever

MONTPELIER. Dec. 1S.-In con
l%ection with the establishment of new
summer hotels in Vermont and the in
"rease in the states summer tourist bust
ness it is interesting TO note comments
IN letters received by the state publicity
bureau in connection with advertising
ior the new 1921 edition of the Hotel
md Boarding House directory which the
department. is about to issue, These let
rers show that some of the smaller
towns and villages are gradually making
u name for themselves as summer re-
sorts and that the ummer camps for
boys and girls now being established in
arge numbers in the state are doing
much to increase the summer business.
The proprietor of a hotel in Lunen-
burg wrote: Last season was the best
we have ever had in our IL years here,
We had our house and every available
room in the village filed, with the whole
lower floor of the hotel tcXCept parl0T
and office thrown open into a dining

ting help, we managed to satisfy them
and expect a good number of them next
season. We are fortunate in the class
# people we get, many who could well
afford to go to the more fashionable, eX-
pensive places, seem cntent to come here,
and they bring to the town talent in va
riOus lines and are a great help to the
place. Some of the mother of the girls
ut Camp WinncShewauka stay with us
and many of the parents stop over a
night or two during the time their chill
lrcu are there. This season we had tn

were full. and they had not made reser-

places for tranSients as we like to have
them as well as our regular guests"

Relief Likely For Income

tax. In several cases the big concerns
found the banks unwilling to lend the
money and some of them feel now that the
banks must relent and furnish the funds.
RumOrs are afioat, incidentally, that the
federal reserve board intends to lower the
rpdiScount rate and that money will be
more plentiful after the list of January,
but there is no confirmation of the rumor
Congress has the responsibility for the
moment of helping the business men over
a tight place. The treasury must follow
the letter of the law or its various collec-
tors would be liable to penalties for fail
ure to collect taxes. The Republicans in
the house have sounded their colleagues in
the senate, and the impression is general
that both houses will pass the Edmonds
resolution.
1t is to be recalled that Senator Smoot
and others issued a warning to taxpayers
that no resolution of relief could be prom
listed. but that was before Dec. IL, when it
was to the interest of the treasury depart
ment to urge the payment of every cent
that actually could be raised. At present
the question is whether the government
collectors win actually invade the proper
ties of big business houses to collect taxes
or whether it will extend the period of
payment until Mar Is and charge interest
fol- the time extended.
All signs point to the passage of the
resolution and though Secretary Houston
has given no intimation of his attitude il
is not believed that he will oppose it. For
alternative is either making the govern.
ment stand the loss temporarily or forcing
receiverships in many important business
houses. The latter might have a serious
effect on the entire business situation and
the favorable attitude of the government
is fully expected Is operate as a palliative.
There is no promise, however. that any
extension will be granted after Mar. IL
nor can the action of congress be regarded
as a precedent for the future. Only the
most serious emergency has called for re
lief by congress and the chances are that
in the future, as in the past. business will
never know until a payment has passed
and they have made every effort to raise
funds whether congress will help them
out. In many instances the business
houses used the money for other purposes
and failed to make proper provision foI
payment by installment. The government
may help out this time, but probably never
again.
