AS THE EDITOR SEES IT
The festivities are over and
now another year of work is be-
fore us. Let's hit the ball be-
fore it hits us.
It was a Morry Christmas
anyway and a Happy Now Year
as usual.
But what kind of a year is be-
fore us? Not "as usual." we
hope because the last few liavo
been anything but what wo
might desiro.
Prosperity conies to those who
earnestly and diligently and in-
telligently seek it unless it is
loft by a rich relative who con-
veniently fades away.
It is greater prosperity that
we want in this town and in this
community and in the state and
nation.
Let's go after it and stick un-
til wo get it and hang onto it
after it comes.
Talking is sometimes good
becanso it puts us in tho right
shape of mind. That's why we
are talking on paper now.
But work is better because it
enables us to accomplish definite
and desirable results.
Therefore let's do both tajk
and work In 1023.
It's the sure road to prosper-
ity. And while we are engnged in
beguiling prosperity letV. also
endeavor to promote harmony.
If the door.s of our hearts are
opi'ii harmony will always scok
admittance. It doesn't like to
wander around without a homo
and its home is in the head and
heart.
Harmony will do wonderful
things for us in tho run of a
year.
Some people don't know when to quit
because they never start.
ANOTHER YEAR OF ?HAT7
Again an old rear Is hlnd us and
new one Is before us to make or mar
by our own acts.
Have we any community plans for
the new year!
Are we going to make It a progres
giro year? Or ahall wo just drift
along!
The ship that drifts goea only as fast
as tho tide or currcut that carries it.
It would take a long time for such a
vessel to cross tho Atlantic.
But install powerful engine It that
ship and turn on tho full force of Its
power and It will plow its way through
tho water at a rapid rato of speed.
It is so with us in this community.
Our rate of progress rests In our
hands. We can drift along and let
another year find us about where wo
aro now or we may employ the force
of will power and determination and
forge ahoad as the power driven ship
doos on the wators of tho seas.
Wo may "let well enough alone"
and drag along through life without
ambition or hope of substantial reward
or wo may "pep up" and get there al-
most beforo wo know it.
If we go after a thing we at least
have a fair chance of getting it. If wc
wait for it to como to us we soon learn
what waiting means.
The editor considers this an oppor-
tune timo to suggest that the citizens
hold somo kind of a public meeting and
submit suggestions and plans for com-
munity bottcrment. No one man car-
ries all of tho community brains around
under his hat and hence it is not from
his lips alone that all of the good sug-
gestions must come. Every person has
Ideas and it is but fair to assume that
at least some of thorn are worthy of
consideration.
From chance words great events
often occur. And someone in our midst
may be waiting for an opportunity to
utter that word.
Let's have a meeting and exchange
views.
There is plenty to be done and
enough of us to do it.
WAR NOT OVER
1923 and wax is not over for these
buddies until they Iget a job
Ths fellow who boasts of his ignor-
ance unwittingly tells the truth.
In the absence of band concerts wo
tan always make music by blowing
our own horns alasl
Perhaps the fact that time waita for
no man accounts for so many people
never having timo to pay their bills.
Some men are quick to recognize the
faults of others becauso they have so
many of the same kind themselves.
There's a time and a place for all
things but too often we don't know
the one and can't find the other.
Don't worry over the scandals you
save missed. You won't have to re-
peat them.
Everybody knows what everybody
else ought to know but nobody seems
to know what they really do know.
. '
Tboso now resolutions aro.no longer
ew. Thoy aro old enough to be broken.
May the new year bring you unlim-
ited prosperity. Then you will not
miss tho subscription prieo of this
paper.
If it is true that an Arizona man has
discovered a jug of petrified w liskey

ALWAYS SOMETHING TO DO
Many men are out of employment
'today in various sections of tho coun-
try becauso they are only willing to
perform ono kind of labor.
In the days of our forefathers when
n man could not find employment in
his chosen trade he accepted what he
could get in some other line until a
change for the better could be made.
As a result of their thrift the army of
the unemployed was only n squad.
There is always something to do. in
Home line of busines if a person is
willing to do it. But as long as able
bodied men are content to sitntill tind
wait for work to hunt them up we will
have the same troubles with whtrh wa
have beon afflicted for many years past.
iuunKowers do it doen't jjt us
wivwhete.

Nineteen twenty-three is easy to
write. We trust it will be quite as
easy ior you to conquor.
Whatever your successes of the past
they should not measure up to those
of the coming year.
SIGHT OF MONEY WON HIHrRXii2r:
Telling the truth is often a real test
of courage when the other fellow is a
husky scrapper.
The wiso man keeps moving forward.
There is no gold to be found in other
people's tracks.
Some people are great believers in
telling the whole truth especially if it
is tinged with scandal.
Even old man Santa can make mis-
takes. He didn't bring those delin
quent subscriptions we were expect
ing.

HAS DISCOVERED NEW FORCE
Londoner Gives Interesting Descrip-
tion of Manner In Which He Made
Important Find.
A simple enrbon rod has been dis-
covered by A. E. Balnes a leading gal-
vanometrlst of London which If held
In the hands fle minutes will recharge
the human system with nerve energy
that lasts 12 hours. He says It Is
nothing new but on the contrary was
known to the ancient Egyptians. He
said the secret of It was tost man)
centuries ago. Mr. Balnes said that
years ago while he was standing In the
British museum before a painted lime
stone sculpture of Kharfra an Egyp-
tian king of the fourth dynasty whu
built the second of the gu-ut pyramid
of Glzeb he noticed the figure was
holding two sniull rods shaped some-
thing like the grip on a bicycle. There-
after he began a merles of long ex-
periments to discover the substance
which the. king held but he failed In
his search until one day when he was
trying to Improve the microphone for
which he prepared several carbon pen-
cils which had been hardened by a
special process of his own. He said
that quite accidentally he touched one
of these carbon pencils and was sur-
prised to and that his galvanic deflec-
tion swung from positive to negative.
This led to further experiments and
he Anally found that the ordinary arc
carbon when hardened by his process
gave out a force which could not be
distinguished from nerve force. The
bars nre about six Inches long and are
cupped ut the ends with celluloid. Mr.
Haloes asserted the carbon rods have
bi-cu of great aid lit treating cases of
nervous bretikdown deafness anemia
and mnny other complaints. lie de-
clared he did not know what the new
force vas.
Prospector Rtfueed $100000 for Mine
but Seld for 110000 Actual
Gold Money.
Money's an odd sort of commodity
and some persons know very little of
actual cash from Intimate acquaint
ance.
Harry Yenesn tells of an old sour-
dough' of the Klondike who had a
valuable claim after several years of
dsngers and hardships In the North.
He came to Seattle and operators
who realized the value of his holdings
had tried to buy him out for $100000.
but It was no use the prospector held
on. Then came the wise man who
made the deal ond for one-tenth of
that sum. The stage-managed propo-
sition was vorked like this:
The operators cornered their man
on the main' street and Induced him
to accompany them to a dark little
edicts off Marlon street. There they
talked Alaska and mining until they
thought they had their man In the
proper frame of mind. They opened
up the subject of a deal and he ad-
mitted ho had been offered $100000.
"And you'll' never sell for thatr
one said and when the miner said
MNV the would-be purchaser went to
a table near by that was cohered with
a cloth nnd snatched tho covering
away. There stacked In neat bat
careless appearing piles was $10000
In bright new shiny $20 gold pieces.
There's what we'll give you."
shouted one of the operators as he
saw the miner's eyes gleam. "You
Just sign the deed end take the
money."
And the miner nnuxed to money
carried away by the sight of real coin
signed. Portland Oregonlan.
SPEEDED UP POSTAL SERVICE
First Exclusive Transportation of the
Malls In 1075 Was Watched
With Intense Interest.
The first exclusive mall train was
placed In service Sept. 18. 1875. Leav-
ing New York It arrived on schedule
time In Chicago the following day
nfter a Journey of twenty-six iiours.
Great Interest was taken at that time
In this all-postal train which carried
the western mall from New York to
Chicago nt a greater speed than any
passenger train could command nnd
furthermore delivered that mall at Chi-
cago distributed and arranged for Im-
mediate dispatch to other lines or
for delivery by carrier In Chicago.
With the beginning of the year 1800
the mall between New York and San
Francisco was also carried on fast
trains consuming less time than the
fastest passenger train. Fast trains
between Chicago and Omaha ran the
more than 50O mllei In less than ten
hours. An Important feature of the
new service was that by which mall
bags were caught without stopping the
trains nnd which brought even smnlt
towns the benefit of speedy service
tho Detroit News states.
PLAN FLOODLIGHTS ON TRAIN
Illumination of Route Said to De In
Contemplation by a Leading Rail-
road System.'
Brltllnnt night Illumination of Its
picturesque transcontinental route Is
the plan contemplated by n large rail-
road system In this country says Pop-
ular Mechanics Magazine. Tho Idea
us conceived at present. Is to equip
tho observation coaches of ts fast lim-
ited trains with a battery of powerful
floodlights. These lights would be ar-
ranged to cotcr a range of approxi-
mately 100 degrees with sufficient
height and depth to Illuminate the can-
yons rivers lakes and mountains In
the vicinity of the right of way as
the train rushes on through the night.
Power for operating the lamps would
be furnished by the axle-driven gener-
ators with which railroad cars are
now commonly equipped and which
ordinarily are never used to their full
capacity.
Although thus far the location of
tho floodlights has been confined to
the observation car certain officials
have suggested the advisability of
placing them along the full length of
the train. Also further to enhance
the effect. It has been proposed fa em-
ploy lumps or reflectors of various
colors which would undoubtedly yield
falryllke scenes particularly when di-
rected upon snow-covered surfaces.
Railroad men In authority have noth-
ing but prnlse for the scheme and
while eagerly awaiting the completion
of the Initial floodlighting equipment
have pointed out the fact that there
is an additional and practical vnluc
of the brilliant lights as a protection
against rour-ond collisions.
Order of the Marshal.
In Dps Moines Iowu they tell of an
elderly Irishman long desirous of of-
clal dignity who was Anally appointed
marshal In a parade In that city. Vet-
erans bandsmen and school children
lined the streets of the town patiently
waiting the signal to start.
Suddenly tho marshal on a prancing
horse dashed up tho street. After In-
specting the procession he gave his
horso a touch with the whip stood up
In his stirrups and shouted:
"Ready nowl Every wan of ye
kapa step wld the horse I March 1"

Blueberry Rapture.
Both these splendid varieties of ber-
ries (high and low groivlng) which
are 'probably the best berry growing on
bushes In the world are a free gift
of God to tho people of New Knglnnd.
Beautiful In Its white or slightly rose-
ate flower beautiful In leaf and habit
the hush Is of course most lovely
when laden down with its cerulean ber-
ries large round and plump dusted
ucr with a fine soft fuzz or bloom
and packed full nlmoit to the point
of bursting with n juice which Is more
delicious than any known nectar. The
ripe rich woodsy flaor of the perfect
New England blueberry Is indescrib-
able. In It are the perfume of the
wild rose and of the clover; In mat-
ters of the palate the savor of the
blueberry Is precisely what the bell-
like note of the woodthrush Is In the
domain of sound. Esthctlcally as
well as In habitat the two are closely
associated. Both sensations are lnef-
fab'.e and quite without parallel In
nature. "Nomad" la Boston Transcript.
Misunderstood.
He was la his first week at college
and when he went to the stationer's to
buy a fountain pen he felt desirous
that the young woman who waited on
him should know that In spite of his
youth he was no high-school boy.
When she handed him a sheet of
paper he wrote on It with many flour-
ishes. In a large bold hand "Alma
Mater Alma Mater" eight or nine
times.
The clerk watched him with a sim-
per and at last she spoke.
"Why don't you let her try It her-
self." she suggested "and then If It
doesn't suit of course we'll change It"
