This New Year be It Resolved:

That bright morning faces, not glum
ones shall be the rule at our 'breakt Ast
tables and that we will not wait until
the day is far advanced to wake mp and
be pleasant. 3rA ~
That the mysterious they say" that
forms the authority FOR much petty
gossip, shall not befnuoted by us.
That gru,nbling shall no longer have
a place with us. This grows into such
habit that we practice it frequently
unconsciously. Let us try to get all
the pleasure out of places, people, events
and things and see how much brighter
the world will be to us and to those
about us.
That if we are employer we will be
less exactiag and regard our help less as
machines, or. if we are employed, we
will give better, more conscientious
service than ever before
That we will regard our besetting sin,
whether it is snappy speech, hasty tenn
per, intolerance in Judgment of others,
or whatever it may be, aid try to make
it more and more of a servant for fear
it shall become our MASTER

Mondovi Herald: At forty-six county
and district fairs held in this state last
fall, the judges of live stock were stu
dents or graduates from the short course
in agriculture of our university. Their
work was generally satisfactory and
from it farmers could learn much that
would be of value to them in their
business. There is no better way to fiji
a boy for the business of farming than
to give him the short course in agri.
culture and the dairy course. Not only
do they get valuable information about
their business but they get exalted ideas
about il as well.

are organizing all over that section of
the state to promote settlement and the
establishment of new industries. There
is great room for development in that

ing to see its own citizens pushing ahead
for new conquests. The time has passed
for regarding cut pine lands as waste

pINNA YE HEAR THE SLOGAN

Whitewater Register: The Fremont
tory symptoms of another national
campaign are discernible Talk about
candidates and con- ontions begins to be
heard; it is clear case that the beauti-
full rest which we have enjoyed the last
three years is soon to be destroyed by
the rip-roar of orators and newspapers
trying to save the country. Well, it has
to be, and very likely it is well that it is
SO; better be thrilled with a galvanic
patriotism, occasionally, than to have
the blood stagnate under the slow, life
less pumping of hears that know of no
other emotion than selfishness
There can be but little doubt as to
who the candidates of the leading par
ties are to he. President Mckinley has
no competitor for the republican nomi-
nation. He is unquestionably the
strongest and most popular man in the
party at the present time, and the good
will toward him is by no means confined
within party lines. His course in the
presidential Office has commended him
to all good citizens; it has illustrated in
the most eminent degree an intelligent
conservative yet fearless devotion to
duty. We firmly believe that no other
president since Monroe has had the con-
fidence and kindly regard OIL all the peo-
y,la II, a a h;,,b a rpaasuro ac President
Mckinley has. The demands of parts
anship will, of course, prevent this be-
ing fully expressed at the polls, but the
truth of the statement cannot be reason
ably questioned
His opponent in the final contest will
in all probability be W. J. Bryan. No
other man of the opposition has so large
and coherent following Like other
democratic leaders he has been out gun
ming several times for new issues, but
has always come home without load,
though on more than one occasion he
barely escaped bagging buzzard,
which he had hoped might be turkey.
There is always a large contingent of
off-oxen, of kickers, and of the congen-
italy disgruntled who can be depended
upon to vote against the status quo, no
matter what it is; and these, together
with the trusting creatures who are not
yet convinced that the 16 to dogma is
gold brick, can be rallied by Bryan
more effectually than by any other
leader. 1t will not make much of a
fight, but weight is not necessary Tor
noise, as everyone knows who has hit a
drum; and it will be good thing for
Bryan, fo~ it means business to him.
