ADVERTISING ADVERTISING Communication to the Voters. Des Moines, Iowa, Dec. 28, 1910. Mr John L. Thompson, Editor Bystander, City. Oblige me by inserting the following advertisement from the prominent business man of Des Moines. I also wish in my own behalf to call attention to the following: I believe that the majority of the progressive Negroes, are in favor of of the open saloon, and think that it would be good for the prospective Negro population not to have the times back that we had in the palmy days of prohibition, as I firmly believe that that was a disgrace to civilization. Think of Potts. Pierce, Hamilton and others, that drained the county treasurer, and still did not enforce the prohibitory law in Polk County. This ought to be an example to all good thinking citizens and voters of this city. I ask you not to withdraw from the saloon petition. Respectfully yours, I. M. JONES. The Union Congregational church will keep open house next Monday, New Year's day, from 3 o'clock to 6 o'clock.

JOE BROWN. Literary Meeting a Grand Success BROWN, Des Moines, Ia., President. Inter-State Literary Meeting a Grand Success THE FIRST YEAR OF THE YEAR ATT'Y. S, JOE BROWN, Des Moines, Ia., President. Prof. A. A. Hughes, Oregon, Mo. Historian. Interview from Fred D. Jack It will be remembered that Mr. elected by the Republican party a "J. G. Olmsted and myself had days ago over the question whet maintain the salcons in preference tiger practices that characterized 1884 until the enactment of the Governor Frank D. Jackson. "Mr ADVERTISING Ed D. Jackson, Ex-Governor of Iowa d that Mr. Jackson was first governor, being cant party after the state had gone Democratic myself had a very spirited controversy several estion whether Des Moines should or should not preference to returning to the bootlegging, blind characterized the so-called prohibition times from int of the mult law, ten years later," said ex- son. "Mr. Olmsted was inclined to take me to station permitting continuance of open saloons "J. G. Olmsted and myself had a very spirited controversy several days ago over the question whether Des Moines should or should not maintain the saloons in preference to returning to the boottegging, blind tiger practices that characterized the so-called prohibition times from 1884 until the enactment of the mulct law, ten years later," said Governor Frank D. Jackson. "Mr. Olmsted was inclined to take me to task for signing the petition permitting continuance of open saloons as contrasted with his theory of wiping out the liquor traffic. It so happened that I was governor of the state during the last two years of prohibition, and, frankly, I do not care for a repetition of the hypocrisy, graft and brutality that marked the era in question. I told Mr. Olmsted that I believed in his sincerity, but seriously doubted his judgment and question the efficacy of his plan. Really I am quite convinced that, measured by moral results, those who believe as I do may rightly be regarded as the men of temperance and morality while Mr. Olmsted and his misguided partisans unwittingly are making for all the train of evils that afflicted Des Moines during the seven or eight years it was attempted to crush the liquor traffic under the prohibitory law. As governor of Iowa during a portion of that period, I want to go up record as preferring the open saloon safeguarded by the strict provisions of the mulct law to any prob hitory law ever enacted. I don't want to see every delapidated shanty in the town utilized as a den of bootteggers while business situated upon the main streets of the city stand empty and teranless. This was one of the inheritances given us by he prohibitory law and that without relieving us from the curse of liquor of the vilest quality." Mrs. W. L. Grant, Kansas City, Kans. Corresponding Secretary. Prof. A. Orege Historian. The 20th annual session ow the Inter-State Literary Association was a great success, both in attendance and finances. It was the best and most enthusiastic meeting ever held and there were more delegates and literary societies represented. There were delegates from Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado and many able papers and essays, poems and speeches were delivered during its three days' sessions. It was a great inspiration for the young man and women of our race to educate themselves to remain in the schools and colleges and finish the three days' sessions. Des Moines gave them a wholesoul welcome during their stay. S. Joe Brown of Des Moines was yesterday elected president of he Interstate Literary association which closed its twentieth annual convention in Des Moines last night.

Woodson of Buxton and personalities were exchanged before the debate was concluded. An effort was also made to make Miss Floreson Aida Maha recording secretary in place of Miss Aida Anderson of Lawrence, Kans., the choice of the committee on nominations, but the effort of her friends failed.

St. Joseph later withdrew and allowed Wichita a clean field. The hall was packed last night by an audience gathered to hear the contest in oratory poetry and music. The results are given at the top of the column. There was great enthusiasm and the contest was pronounced altogether the greatest success in the history of the organization.

For that Dull Feeling After Eating I have used Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets for some time, and can testify that they have done me more good than any tablets I have ever used. My trouble was a heavy dull feeling after eating—David Freeman, Kempt, Nova Scotia. These tablets strengthen the stomach and improve the digestion. They also regulate the liver and bowels. They are far superior to rills but cost no more. Get a free sample at all drugists and see what a splendid medicine it is. MOVING Is Cheap If you engage the right Company.

This issue ends the year of 1910. She has gone to return no more. The ruthless hand of time is continually coming and going, sweeping through space incalculable. There has not been another like this one just another mother, who there no. Each has its peculiarities in individual. Then my readers how essential that we should use every minute so it will be beneficial and profitable to us and helpful to the world. Let us look back over the year just ended and see our errors and plan to avoid them in the coming of the New Year. There has no famines, no sickness or pestilence, no great disaster, but it has given many opportunities for reflection. Let our motto this coming year be onward and upward. We say farewell to the old year and good morning to the new. CURRENT LITERATURE REVIEW The past year, several good and interesting magazine and newspapers. The best magazine that has come to our desk lately is the McConico's Monthly Magazine, published by John F. A. McConico, Birmingham, Ala. It runs from sixteen to thirty-two pages, neatly arranged on excellent paper, illustrated with cuts of our men and women of this world, with some able writers as they seem to be able to succeed. Another new magazine recently started is the California Cactus, which is published in Los Angeles, Ca. It is devoted to the colored folks of Southern California, and is edited by A. Ivison Williams. The Brown Brothers' Magazine started last month in our city is devoted to the colored race in Iowa. The newspapers have been started in many cities the past year. Some of them are the recent Quarter Centennial University number of the Appeal of St. Paul, was the finest and best edition that has come to our office for several years. It contained a history of the paper and its growth for twenty-five years with the cuts of all its editors including its efficient present editor, Mr. John Q. Adams, and his lovable family. It also contains the cuts and write-up of about fifty of the prominent Afro-Americans in Michigan and St. Louis, was indeed a worthy issue. Brother Adams is an old experienced newspaper man and knows how to make a good paper. The Yonkers Standard of Yonkers, New York, is a good weekly, splendidly edited. The Rochester Sentinel of Rochester, N. Y., is also another New York journaldeserving creditable mention. Edited by Rev. W. A. Byrd, Ph. D. The largest number of newspapers emerged on the great sea are from Oklahoma. The Oklahoma City Guide, The Boley Progress, The Baptist Informer of Musquogee, The American Wagner, the Black Sock of Everett, Wash., the Informer of Spokane are all industrious, active papers seeking to fill a long felt want for our race. We can see a general tone of improvement among the journals of this country. We say, dear editors, stick to the work. Duty demands it and the world will hear us and this great race will be benefited.

Zion Baptist church last Sunday evening, and said the program was a good one. Miss Cleopatra Carey is spending Christmas with her mother and friends. She is attending school in Des Moines.

The Tabernacle Baptist and St John's A. M. E. has their exercises and Christmas trees last Saturday evening. Mr. Geo. Ragadale was seen on on the streets of Buxton this week. he has been sojourning in Enterprise. Mrs. Anna Craddock, who has been at Des Moines, looking after her brother Ed. Green, who is in the hospital there, is in the city for Christmas. She reports Edward doing nicely and will probably be home in two weeks. Wm. Thomas, one of Buxton's old residents but now of Danville, is in the city this week. The Mutual Benefit Literary Society met with Dr. Carter last Friday evening. After the regular order of business the following persons recited: Misses Mary Jane Reeves, Minnie Mills, Mr. Jno. Rowlett (his composition) and Rev. J. B. Lucas. A very pleasant evening was spent. Buxton's Concert Band gave to its citizens an enjoyable surprise last Monday morning. They arose early and were out on the streets at one o'clock in m., and serenaded the whole town from the time till eleven o'clock a.m., playing many of their beautiful selections among which was the Jack Johnson two-step, written by Prof. Oliver, the director. Dr. Carter, who has been first assistant to Dr. Burke Powers for the Consolidation Coal Co., has been appointed one of the two company physicians with Dr. Ralph Early of Burlington, Iowa. Dr. Carter is a young man, who worked his way through school and worked in the mines in the summer at Buxton; received his education at Osakaloa high school and State University, receiving from the latter school the Telephone Walnut 4059. Charity—which is love for humanity—is still the greatest of the three virtues. London is reinforcing its meat supply with refrigerated车载cases from Peru. British medical experts want insanity made the basis for divorce. And some will say "ain't it great to be crazy." With aeroplanes falling from the clouds, and automobiles blowing chafes into trees, this is truly an unsettled time. Natural ice has been almost entirely absolved of the charge of harboring fever germs. These little pets detest cold feet. Somehow we can't get real good and scared over the announcement that a new counterfeit $100 bill is in circulation. It cost an Ohio farmer $14.25 for attempting to kiss his neighbor's wife. Near kisses are as costly as one seal ed and delivered. The population of New York state is nearly 10,000,000, but there is still plenty of room to get around there without touching elbows. Notwithstanding the fact that upper berths are to be lower, it will be necessary to use a ladder for the purpose of getting into one of them. Japan is going to buy herself a $12,000,000 warship. This ought to precipitate another war scare among the nervous contingent. The fight which a Pennsylvania lumber buyer had with a bear may invite recognition of Bruin as one of our leading conservationists. There is one merit which the airship can boast. It leaves the streets clear for pedestrians to walk without fear of being run down by speeders. A man in New York, fired upon on the street, was saved by the opal pin in his necklace. This ought to lift the ban of ill luck from that unlucky stone. There are indications that the record for hunters who were mistaken for deer will be broken this year. It is a remarkable year for broken records. More people would be satisfied to take things as they come, were it not for the fact that most of the things that come are not worth waiting for. New York is erecting a building 13 feet higher than the Singer building if this goes on, aeroplanists are going to protest against the obstruction of traffic. It is announced that the government is going to substitute dollar bills for bills of $20 and more. That's good; it will make it easier to flash a large roll. When the ocean liners take something of their size for collision purposes, the results are different from those achieved when they run into fishing snacks. A **schoolboy** was directed to write an essay about **conson**, and he began it by saying "it is chiefly used in making woolen goods." That boy keeps his eyes open. Hobble skirts hinder business, is the conclusion of the Atlantic City shop keepers. Maybe the Atlantic City girls can show speed in other ways than walking. An Ohio man offers $5,000 for an airship ride. If that sum is to be established as the regular fare the atmosphere will not be crowded for a long time to come. A Wellesley student has been expelled for getting married. It was probably decided that she took an unfair advantage of the many Massa-chusets spinners who are looking for men. Still another biggest yet and most luxurious steamship is planned. Eventually, we suppose, no passenger vessel will be complete without a golf course, a portecochere and outdoor sleeping porches. The councilmen of several of the cities are it gistling against the long wait before they were when their commands to their own wives first, to ascertain what measure of submission they are likely to meet with. The school board of Pocohontas, Va., has issued a rule forbidding the schoolmans of that place the right to attend dances. What has become of southern california? Prince Henry of Prussia has made severalights in an aeroplane. But the prince had convinced Americans some years before the aeroplane that he was a pretty high flyer. All cities that have aviation meets son discover that none of the birdens are flying for their health. One way to remain happily married is to cut out your relatives who are afflicted with the butt-in habit. Only 200,000 pounds of chewing gum were sold last year. Its leads are sold by the large pro shops of what we have seen in use must have been stolen. A man who was killed by a street car in a Michigan town was carrying a suitcase containing seven quarts of gold. That's a new way of emulating the New York business.

Paula, were killed Wednesday when their passenger-carrying monoplane fell from a height of 250 feet soon after they had started from lasy on trip to Brussels and return. This is the first serious disaster to a passenger-carrying aeroplane in the history of aviation. Lafon had set out to win the $30,000 prize offered by the Automobile club of France for a round trip to the Bolgian capital within 36 hours. Lafon and Paula set out shortly after dawn and a big crowd cheered them as the propellers began to hum and the great aeroplane arose. Lafon sent the machine in an easterly direction and it was apparently working perfectly. Before he had gone the motor began to miss fire and the car wobbled through the air at times in an alarming manner. Suddenly those who were watching saw Lafon fumbling frantically with the machinery as the motor stopped. A gust of wind caught; the wings and the machine turned over while Lafon and Paula clung to the framework. The airplane swept downward with great velocity and crashed to the earth, pinning both men beneath the wreckage. PACKERS FIGHT FOR TIME Counsel Opposes Dismisal of Civil Action Which Would Hasten the Criminal Trial. Chicago—Indicted members of the so-called "beef trust" will resort to every technical means within their knowledge and experience to stay the criminal proceedings begun against them by the government. This was made clear Wednesday before Judge Kohsaita in the United States circuit court. Attorney George T. Buckingham, one of the attorneys for the packers, obtained a delay to file objections to the dismissal of the suit in equity to enforce the Nazi Packing company from exploiting the antitrust act. The government suit was dismissed on orders of Attorney General Wickersham. This was done with the purpose of preventing the packers from escaping trial upon the criminal indictments. It is the contention of counsel for the packers that the government has no right to dismiss the suit in equity; that it is virtually a supplemental bill to proceedings bad before Judge Grossepont several years ago, and which resulted in the court enjoining the packers from the negotiations of the federal trust laws and that the bill in effect asks punishment for contempt of court.

ACCOMPLISHES FEAT IN GALE Daring Almanr Thrilla Enormous Crowd in His Descent From Clouds—Is Benumbed by Cold—Wins a Prize of $3,000. Los Angeles, Cal.—Arch-Hoxley of the Wright team of aviators Monday broke the world's record for altitude here when he attained a height of 11,474 feet and accomplished the feat in a 30-mile gale that wrecked Latham's monoplane and kept cautious aviators to the ground. Seventy-seven thousand enthusiasts expectators gathered at Dominguez flight record-breaking flight of the southern California aviator, and when Hoxley landed safely, almost in front of the grand stand, his barograph was removed from the machine and examined and the announcement made that he had broken the altitude record of 10,499 feet established by M. Elegnaux at Pau, France, on December 10, pandemonium broke loose among the spectators and a mad rush was made for the field to congratulate him. Hoxsey's feat is without parallel in the history of aviation. He went into the air a few minutes before one o'clock and quickly began his upward flight. In a short time he was beyond o'clock and went so long that the officials at the fold became alarmed and began making inquiries and requesting the near-by towns and beach resorts to be on the lookout for the aviator. Shortly before three o'clock a spectator in the grand stand discerned a plane flying at the airport for minutes before the majority of the throng could distinguish the speck. Slowly descending, Hoxsey made several complete circles with his machine placed downward, before he became plainly visible to the naked eye. While on the side of the field opposite the grand stand he made a sensational glide of 1,000 feet. The multitude watching him thought he had lost control of his machine but when within about 500 feet from the ground, the aviator turned his planes upward and shot into the air again. He turned his machine completely around at the pylon to the right of the grand stand, descended and stiffly climbed from the machine.

HE custom of celebrating the New Year by leaving behind, in theory at least, one's pot perennial habit or besetting sin, may be hackneyed, but it certainly is not entirely relegated to the limbo of things forgotten or outworn. Some time New Year's day, when a quiet moment in the day's awirl offers time for thought, there will be a basty stock of the year that is gone, a recounting of errors and failures, a silent promo that will not occur again. And what does it all amount to, after all, this old custom of cvamping threadbare resolutions or selecting new once? The cynic will smile and say that it is all a waste of effort, a flash in the pan, a half-hearted glossing over of mistakes by wrydy and none too sincere promises of reform. The humorist will have his little fling in cartoon and witty quip and jest. He will gurple with the sardonic glee of Robin Goodfellow over the folly of mortals and find in every resolve new subject for laughter. From the pulpit on Sunday will sound the admonition of the minister and the moralist. They will take good resolutions seriously, and set upon them the stamp of divine approval. And whether the wry sneer of the cynic, the mocking grin of the humorist, or the approving smile of the moralist prophecy the fate of the resolutions and their maker, it will be true that even the most momentary impulses toward better things will not be entirely wasted.

There was a time when, in the simple faith of childhood, you set down in black and white your promises to do better.

On the first page of your new diary, a yearly Christmas present, you wrote in your best Spencerian hand—we knew none better in those days—something like this: "During this year I resolve not to lose my temper; not to be saucy at home; not to put off doing the things I dislike; to read my Bible every day." Direct, sounding bows were these on the chain your bestselling sina of a quick temper, a wicked temper, a childish irreligion.

Orders to keep from under foot were rigidly enforced, and did you wish to see the fun no place remained but the second-story landing, which gave somewhat inconspicuously upon the hall below, with a strained view of the big parlor, and none of the dining room beyond. That it was there and in full working order was evidenced by a keen sense of smell. It was always great fun to wander up and down the principal residential streets as noon drew near, to find out who were to be at home and who were not. A basket tied to the door knob with gay red ribbons said, for all the world to hear: "We are not receiving today." If you were a boy and daring, later in the afternoon you stole up on the step to peek in, and discover, by the number of steps in, the respective popularity of village mids and matrons. Wherever door lacked the basket, you knew that behind the drawn shades there was the soft glow of candles or the yellow glow of gas, poor substitute for sunlight in snow, but presumably kinder to complexes and gowns just a trifle pass. And you know that in each house, subject only to trifling variations of background, there would be enacted the same scenes. Into the front door that opened at the first touch of the bell passed a fluctuating stream of men in holiday attire. There were elderly bux-plex in broadcloth that was brushed to the point of perfection, smart young dancers, sporting the newest fashion in ties; awkward beginners not quite used to the length of their frock coats—we called them Prince Alberts to the days of New Year's calls were in vogue—and a sprinkling of substantial-looking bussiness paying homage to the established custom of society. Everybody who bodyied in "our town" paid his devotion to the incoming year by making the gifts of his friends' homes. Once inside, there was the neat mild or solemn butter to receive the caller's card and help him with overcoat, hat and scarf, a dash of collar and for the daughters and a spider on the chandeliers with the prism Who Has Millions Paul Rainey, Who Is Worth $30,000, - 000, Has Achieved Fame in Big Game Shooting and Other Sports. Paul Rainey was born with plenty of money and a creetess disposition, which he with have increased. When his father died, leaving him a little matter of $20,000 made in coke at Ettleburg. Paul Rainey went to New M T before the little diary had its new gift dimmed or the soft penciling of the latter had blurred itself into unprofoundful flexibility. But the effort wasn't altogether wasted and there were fewer fits of temper and cleaner neck and ears than would otherwise have been. We grown-ups miss, as we get older, some of the past and gone ata new Year's resolves. The day was once upon a time more marked by pleasant social customs. Only in officialdom is New Year's now a state ceremony. But it is not clear what call that a decade or two ago there still survived some of the dignity and good cheer that had attached itself to the day. Before the Christmas fruit cake had all been devoured, or the stone jars of sweetness suffered too severely the roads of rapacious children, preparations for New Year's day were well under way. Children were not included in this celebra A FLUCTUATING STREAM OF MEN IN HOLIDAY ATTIRE their drops. "Happy New Year" resounded on all were slides. In the course of the afternoon the indefatigable had seen all their friends had story sampled the choicest types of Christmas baking, had toasted again and again the New Year in punch of varying strength and pungency, substituted coffee in home where temperatures work of principle were popular. They had said pretty things to poems dams in the stimulating atmosphere of holly and green wreaths, and had matched wits with fascinating damsels in a dangerous vicinity of mistletoe that still boasted some berries. It was all very gay, very informal, and very home. At no other or all time or on no other occasion did the holiday blirter reach so high a pitch. "I'd like to do it all over again," is the testimony of one stately lady, whose home twenty years ago was the scene of yearly New Year's receptions. "No other social function on my calendar was such fun for the guests and so little trouble for the hostess, and a few fresh baskets had been done a week earlier, that were needed. Given bright lights, a dozen pretty girls to help entertain, the simplest cakes, and plenty of mildly exhilarating punch made from a recipe that my Kentucky grandfather declared harmless, and success was assured. When six o'clock came you had seen all the nice people acquaintance undisturbed, usual infusion of alcohol had sent them away at night with the world in general and full of the spirit of neighborhood." Meanwhile, upstairs in the library window seats curled the family small fry, watching the procession as it passed, commenting with juvenile frankness on the toilets of the callers, counting the visitors as they came, listening to the hum of voices downstairs, the girls bugging close to the sash, the boys making daring detours to "peek" through the balustrade turning to report what young girls were sitting on the steps when they were men, and even, in some cases, what they were saying. Longer, more prews, down the back stairs, laid in a friendly cook, led to quick and jubilant returns with offerings of cake and carrot cup, wherewhe the hours might be be- York with it—and with his brother. They spent money in the lavish—but not in the foolish—style of Pittburson millionaires, and Paul, particularly, seemed to get a deal of sane fun out of his. Also he found time to increase that $20,000,000 to $300,000 he was achieving no little fane as a yachman, a polo player, a motorcycle, all around athlete. He has shot all over this country. Canada and Mexico, and to chronicle the animals he has stalked would be to catalogue the wild beasts of this continent. Yet he has never been a "game hog," and has always "played fair" with his brute antagonists. He is about to start on a game trail that will take him nearly around the world, for Paul Ralley, much as he loves the "coolie end of millionaire business," never stays in sound of a trolley car more than a few months—be "hikes" for the jungle, the desert, on the forest. The trip he is now GREAT FUN TO WANDER UP AND DOWN THE PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE STREETS gutted until six, when twinkling street lights warmed the callers to retreat. Not serious way to start the New Year. No but a friendly one, that left hostesses and callers with a glow of human friendliness to last as warmth for many a day. And if seriousness were lacking, the same decade that enjoyed New Year's calling found itself also at one with the custom of watch-night service. For, in "our town," as in yours, mayhap, it was the thing to spend the closing hours of the old year in the quiet seriousness of prayer and sacred song. Children had their share in this, for fathers and mothers, had not in that simpler time to fear the giving of definite lessons instruction to their sons and daughters. It was clear and plain that a child must be trained in the way he should go, and watch night was a part of that train- And, indeed, no youngster ever tried to beg off. There was first of all the joy of doing the unusual and the fun of sitting up past his bedtime. So you lied yourself to the nursery couch or the sitting-room lounge, after a hot supper, an old-fashioned winter supper of sausage and fried potatoes or scalloped oysters and muffins, and took a long, long nap. At half-past ten, father waked you, tucked you into cap and overcoat, and the family party started out under the cold stars, snow crunching, under foot, to the nearby church. Not so very long ago the writer came across an old chromo, of the sort that looks, in a dim and favorable light, like a fairly decent the chief ornament of a well-furnished, comfortable parlor. Now it cluttered the window of a second-hand shop, dingy and saddles with fate. But even when it cluttered light of a dusty showroom, it had a certain charm for those who found it. It was the picture of watchlight service, such as she once knew so well. Bright moonlight flocked the scene, bringing out in sharpened detail the snow-laden boughs of drooping elms and the Gothic spire of a small stone church. From stained-glass windows and opened door came streaming the warm glow of shaded gas jets. From village streets flocked men and women and children, stopping to say a word of greeting as they passed the vestibule. The spell of the picture took her, with the speed of the magic carpet or of the seven-leaved boots, back to the New Year's eyes of her girl- So she had walked with father and mother and a sleepy small brother. Just so the tree had looked in the frosty moonlight. And just as warm and softly glowing had been the stone church, through whose open doors came the resonant strains of the great organ. She remembered with aching vividness the faces so thought. So, and to chronicle is stalked would be wild beasts of this has never been a has always "played te antagonists.

Paul Rainley is the type of a rich man's son much more prevalent than many people supposed. Supplied always with more money than most men ever see, he has been called "America's greatest spender," but he has not benefited his funds or his health. His attitude towards his wealth is that of one who has been fortunate enough to know how to get from it the greatest amount of healthy pleasure for himself and others. TO SHOW THE WINTER'S WORLD A bit more joyful is the splendid, quantitly irregular. It was easy after this to go home filled with loftest aspirations, ready to begin the new diary with ambitious resolves that were bound to overcrap themselves because of their very loftiness. There was one watch night when there drifted into the ken of the child the poem that has since meant to her, as it does to nany, the very spirit of this day. From the choir gallery, just before the ninth hour, he joined chorus of a strange melody. Then into the silence of the vaulted church rose a wonderful message in a voice that bore conviction to the listeners. It sang to the organ and the bushed accompaniment of the choir: Ring out, wild bells, to the wild skies, The flying cloud, the frosty light; The year is dying, in the night; Ring out, wild bells, and let him die. Through the whole of the splendid poem it swept, on to the triumph conclusion: To the child the most dramatic moment of the evening came just on the stroke of the incoming year. While outside whistles blew and giant crackers exploded, bells clashed and clanged, inside hands clasped hands while to together they rang the good old standup, "Bleest be the tie that blinds," before the hush of the benediction and the glad chorus of "Happy New Year's" that concluded the service. There is another sort of quiet ushering in of the baby year that is conducive to the good resolve that counts so easily under favorable conditions. There were those in the old days, as there are in these, who felt that after the gala afternoon the happiest way of all was to sit quietly about the fire, chatting with half a dozen congenial spirits, singing a bit if the spirit moved, reminiscing as old times came back in the sand ending with the elf toons and the dash of sentiment that makes "Auld Lang Syne" the fitting song for such a moment. That some such happy hour may begin little 1013's first appearance is the best wish one can offer to friends. Let the suspicious morning be expressed With a white stone distinguished from the rest.

Watch-hightymen have a personality of their own, as those of Christmas or Easter, if not so widely known. They are naturally serious and a bit foreboding, with a touch of the melancholy that is associated with the raplight flight of time. The year is gone, beyond recall With all its hopes and fears, With all its bright and gladdening smiles, With all its mourners' tears, is an old Latin hymn to a common meter tune that illustrates the tendency of this branch of hymnology. Charles Wosley has been most prolific in voicing this thought. Wisdom ascribe, and might, and To God who lenthes out our days; who spares us yet another year, And makes us see his goodness here, is an old favorite. Often just on the stroke of midnight another of his voiced the feelings of congregation, that beginning: Join all we renamed sons of grace, The holy joy prolong. And shout to the Redeemer's praise, A mournful midnight song. Come, let us anew our journey pursue, Roll round with the year, And never stand still till the Master appear.

PRESERVE LAKES SHOULD BE PROPERLY DRAINED Prof. Thomas McBride of the Iowa State University Would Have Legislative Committee Look After Them Mason City, Ia., Dec. 7 — Professor Thomas H. McRide, of the Iowa State university, was in the city on his return from Lake Okoboji. He has charge of the fakeside laboratory at Okoboji and has taken a great deal of interest in the lakes of the state. He is in favor of the appointment of a committee to conserve the interests of the lakes of the state. Iowa is a state with its more than 6 million of people who take half a mile off the road for their enjoyment and these usually in anything but presentable condition. He would by some act of the legislature appoint a committee to look after all these lakes, their proper drainage, prevention of disease-breeding germs accumulating along its shores, prevent encroachment of various kinds, and attend to the many things now arising in which the people are interested. Professor McBride is greatly interested in these matters and believes that the present legislature not only should, but will take action to prevent encroachment in the lake. Okoboji, Spirit Lake, Clear Lake and Wall Lake need attention as in each year thousands of the people of the state through the summer season are enjoying the pleasures at forced by these lakes. $100,000 Fire at Marengo.

To Whom It May Concern: After reading in the Philadelphia Tribune of Madam T. D. Perkins, the Dear Madam Perkins. This is the third month I have used your scalp treatment, and I am greatly pleased with its success. My hair has grown more than four inches, and has taken on new life. It is very soft. I am confident that the hair will remain in Philadelphia, Penn. April 21, 1910. Scalp Specialist of Denver, Colo., demonstrating in Philadelphia, I decided to write her relative to my hair. I received a prompt reply, and sent for her treatment at once. Being so well pleased with the same I went to Philadelphia, I asked her to help me with the hair. She was so wonderful for the hair, as her treatment. My hair stayed to grow from the very first, the treatment not only causes the hair to grow, but removes daudrille and makes the hair soft and glossy. My husband thinks my hair is beautiful and says that it is the best I have ever used. I advise all good women that they should do this for their hair, so they also advenience to do, for those that will carefully follow her instructions. Santa Monica, Cal., Jan. 14, 1908. Dear Mrs. Perkins: How much I wished I had known you years ago, and taken your treatment for the hair. I would have had better hair today if had. In the few months I have used your treatment there is such a decided change in my hair and scalp. This is the best treatment I ever used or heard of before, and if your customers would tell the truth they will say the same. I intend to use it as long as I am able to buy it. I wish more of our women knew of your work and would take your treatment. I have known Mrs. T. D. Perkins more than ten years and never knew her to have hair more than two inches long until the past three years. I was more than surprised when she took her hair down to prove to me it was all her own. I put my scalp in her charge at once, and words caused no unever expressive response. Mrs. Perkins said that my hair was in a dreadful condition. Mrs. Perkins' first treatment proved beyond a doubt her knowledge of the care of the scalp. I trust every woman who may read this will write Mrs. Perkins and secure a place in her class for treatment for beautifying and growth of the hair. Dear Madam; I have used your hair treatment for four months, and I must say it is wonderful. My hair was so short I could hardly pin it up when I began using it, and in one week's time I could see an improvement. I have used many things on my hair to make it grow, but none ever did the good yours has. I can without exaggeration say this is the most wonderful tonic I have ever used. My hair has grown wonderfully since I started to use it, and I must say I am highly pleased with the method of treatment, and I can and will gladly recommend you to anyone wanting their hair to grow. Any one wishing to know more about this wonderful treatment and its growing qualities can write or call at my address, 1858 North Clark Street, "Chicago, Ill." I take great pleasure in writing you a few lines, to let you know how well I like your scalp treatment. I think it is fine. Yes, it is grand. My scalp is clean and my hair is black and full of life, and is growing nicely. It is much thicker, and I have only been using the treatment six weeks, and I see such a great change in my hair, and scalp, I hope I will be able to say more of your wonderful scalp treatment in my next letter. Yours truly, Mrs. S. A. CASHWELL, Carthage, Ind, Sep, 24, 1910. Dear Madam Perkins: I have been using your scalp treatment for four months, and I must say it is wonderful.
