Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward
All Men,

How often we hear that beautiful SEN
timent expressed and how often we are
told that we should shape our lives in
accordance with it. But, oh, how diff
cult We find it TRY as hard as we CAM to
do so.
One will often say "now l will cast
from my heart all feeling of hatred, en-
Wy, malice and anger" and / will remem-
ber that l have faults that appear to
others as great as the faults Of others
appear to me. and have not the right
to judge. And will not judge. But
will meet all my neighbors vito a friend
ly smile and kind greeting. The resolu-
ton is good one, aud by careful
thought for the feelings of others every
thing for while goes well. But directly
comes, maybe, some business trouble or
domestic care. sickness or worry Of some
kind, and therefore one becomes tired
and irritable and slight, real or fan
cied, from neighbor Or friend, awakcns
again the foeling of anger and tho reso.
lutions so good are forgotten and dislike
and criticism usurps their place.
While we do not claim that We do or
are able to practice what we preach"
we will say how well it would be II we
would all try to live this this beautiful
sentiment, and especially among the
young people where there are not many.
and where they have to depend upon
each other for their social amusements.
We earnest hope that every young boy
and girl who read this will say to him
self or herself, II will forgot and forgive
and start anew with this for their motto,
Peace and Good Will to All."

tising otr resources. As a cattle
raising district there is none better,
and as to agriculture, it cannot be
beat. A fair given this fall will
beat any advertising that could be
given it. Show the people of other
districts that Montezuma county
has enthusiastic citizens, and that
they are not backwa1din getting to
the front in representing their in
terests. The editor of. The Silver
Star is not a boomer, but he can
readily see the advantages offered,
therefore urges the citizens to take
the opportunity as it is presented.
1t will bring people from far and
wide to visit, and they then con see
for themselves the advantaged Of
fered them. The county will no
doubt denote literally on an occa-
sion of this kind, or rather it should.
Now let us take hold of this matter
and not wait for someone else to
make the start. Let us show the
people of other portions of the state
that we have citizens who have the
push and vim to accomplish what
ever is undertaken.
Another matter needs the consid-
Grafton of the people of this county,
and that is a representation at the
Mountain and Plain Festival at
Denver this fall. The matter is
now ripe and we should give
it recognition.
What every man should do is to
talk those things over with his next
door neighbor and enthuse him and
we will not need the phantom wave
of prosperity to help us along. God
helps those who help themselves.

best poetry in the language and knew
