 year and we extend our best Tvishes to all 

 our readers for a Merry Christmas and a 

 Happy Hew Year. Time the eternal book- 

 keeper has allotted us 365 days in rhich 

 to put forth our best efforts to make the 

 world bettor for our having lived in it

 vance tho .^reat cause of conservation to 

 which no stand consecrated; unless we 

 have dono our bost to secure the coopera- 

 tion of everyone in carrying on and 

 perpetuating our Forest resources; unless 

 we have done our bost to overcome tfie 

 enmity of our opponents and me.!:e then

 next 365 days to lift ourselves to a 

 higher plane of view and overlook tho 

 many petty things of a narrow mind, to 

 look at the broader side of life and tho 

 effect that our living is making on those
