Oil and gasoline tax collections by
the state oil inspector for November
exceeded those of the corresponding
period last year by S24,S44.27. This in
crease was due, officials said, to the
recent decision of the State Supreme

on gasoline and kerosene. The total
collections by the department for No
vember, 1920, were $51, ,54SSS, and
those of last month were $76,393.5S.
The increased collections amounted to
same period in 1920.

Growers Association will be held in
Denver, and with the fare and a half

jury was not considered serious at the

p. NJ Webster of Fort Collins has
setter that had even better luck than
he did on one Of their trips recently.
The pit on the shore of the lake where
Webster decided to shoot was not big
enough to conceal both himself and
the dog, so the dog received instruc-
tiOns to remain at the automobile un-
til wanted. Webster failed to get any
ducks and returned to the car to 90
home. The dog, who was sitting in the
back seat nudged Webster in the ribs
as he was preparing to start the car.
When Webster turned around the dog
showed him duck he had caught and
brought to the car. The duck, which
was still alive, had had wing broken
near the tip and couldn't fly well.
