HAPPY NEW YEAR,

Although it is repeated again and
again Happy New Year" never
grows trite or tiresome 1t is really
worthy Sentiment. aud to wish one a
happy new year is both kind and good.
To be sure, the sentiment is often
perfunotorily expressed; yet we should
not even then accept it phlegmatical-
~. We should put into the receiving
n sufficient quantity of enthusiasm to
serve cur own purpose, and in addi-
tion to supply the defect in the Civ.
ing. Give the salutation from the
heart, and accept it heartily, CRATE
fully.
A the beginning of a new year we
should be mindful to renew and retain
our sympathetic enthusiasm for our
fellow-men. Do nothing perfunotor-
lily. Be filed with motive, an ear.
nest desire, in every task undertaken.
IL al old duty is easy. render it less so
by doing it moJe artistically, more
thoroughly than ever before. Ignore
the fact that as You approach matur-
ity the new years come bv so rapidly
ms TO seem common. Retain in so far
as You may, your youthful impressi-
ibilty adding TO it only maturity and
greater accuracy in reaching the con.
illusions that formulate motives.
Ripen in wisdom decay in nothing.
To become blase is to admit degree
of stagnatiou. Wake mp. 1t is the new
year. Study the tendencies of the
times. Let nothing become common.
Now altogether-and mean it-A
HAPPY NEW YEAR.

COLLEGE HAZ[NG OFTEN CRUEL

Nc Plan Proposed at Columbia Whereby Al Brutal Features Shall
Be Eliminated and Ner Element Substituted.

The college freshman is still in danger of losing
his LIMBS his life simply because he is a fresh
man. Although nazing is not practsed widely
or as openly some years ago. it still survives.
It's worst features now, however, are kept secret,
and only and then mad prank becomes
public because its perpetrators could not conceal
rhe injuries the death of their victim.
Instances continually come to light of hair
breadth adventures in which a haDless freshman
almost loses his life but of which nothing is
known until the students implicated are graduated
and the OF silence during their college course
which they have sworn, is abrogated. Only recent
W. at certain Connecticut university, the details
came to light of a daredevil escapade among mem
hers of a certain class which occurred many years
before, and in which youth almost lost his
life. 1t was not until the members OF the class
came back for reunion that the secret got out
II was not until then that the good people OF the

One usually thinks of the deep Maine woods and

About two months ago skeleton
was found in the brush near the
Georgetown cemetery, which could
not be identified and which had the
appearance of having lain there for a
number of years. The lower jaw was
smashed, indicating that the man
might have been the victim of foul
play. Nothing was discovered to in
dictate the identity of the man at the
time and the bones were inferred.
Deputy sheriff Gil Cook after hear
ing of the finding of the bones and
making few inquiries formed the
conclusion recently that it is strongly
probable that the relics were the re-
mains of Cyrus W. Cofer who disap-
peared IN Georgetown about four
years ago.
Cofer was IS years of age and lived
for sometime with Gil Cook on Bear
Creek. On leaving he had S575 which
Mrs. Cook had kept for him and he
and said he was going to Oakdale,
Stanislaus county. He was never seen
nor heard of again, and no trace of
him could be found. He could not be
traced even as far as Greenwood on
his intended journey, although per-
sistent effort was made to get some
Information about him.
What makes the case more myster-
ious is the fact that Coter had money
on deposit at Stockton which has
never been drawn and his pension
which he had been receiving regularly
was never applied for after the dis
appearance and was consequently
| stopped.
Mr.. Cook concluded after muutbs

every jackson voter might go to work
some morning with this thought in
his mind.
would have him look at the gar
dens of the women, and then at the
mems streets. Is he helping to build
up community where his children
may grow to usefulness? Is he doing
bis dutysby that wife who is struggl-
ing so hard to make Jackson the right
kind of home for him. for herself,
for their children, and for their
peighbore
| would hope too that this thought
might make him hustle for the inuor-
poration of this town, tor the election
of proper officials. for high school
and library; for good sewerage. and
clean streets.
Nature and the women have done
every thing they could for jackson.
Now it the men will only perform
their duty, they can have one of the
prettiest towns i'll the state of Cal
ifornia. They can have town which
will send out young men aud women
who will build up the fame of this
state, and be strength to the nation.
Look at that little country of Japan!
That is a nation of gardens. Endless
books have been written on the
beautiful gardens of that country.
Every home tells its story of ambit-
ion and brothery love in its garden.
The child of japan is taught first
his duty to his state, to others; aud
what has been the result? Fist
with this love of bis country, with his
sense of duty to his fellows, he has
whipped what was uonsldered one of
the strongest nations of the world.
And all through this dreadful wal he
has shown the strength of character
which was nourished in his own
beautiful gardens.
Mr.. Roosevelt may preach from now
to kingdom come about race suicide,
but there is a greater duty owed to
every child than to bring it into the
world. That child has right to be
reared in clean, wholesome com
munity where It's life may ripen into
usefulness.
We hear lots of criticism of the
motherhood of America, but there is
not much said about the duties OF
fatherhood.

as much for your community as your
women are doing.

the time. The general principle to
bear in mind is the kind of labor done
or character of service rendered, with
out regard to where or for whom the
deceased happened to work. However,
a wife or daughter who simply keeps
house for her own family should not
be returned as a housekeeper, but
like all women and children living at
home and not engaged in any remu-
nerative occupation, should be re-
ported as having "None.''
Name of Father. This is important
for identification.
Birthplace of Father. State in the

Maiden Name of Mother. This is
of great Importance for purposes of
accurate Identification.
Birthplace of Mother. State in the

The birthplaces of parents are neces-
sary in order to classify the deaths
by parental nativity. The proportion
of persons of foreign parentage inCaI-
ifornla is so large that, in view of the
general difference in the death rates.
this becomes most important factor
The birthplace of mother in particu-
lar is extensively used in statistics as

characteristics and Inherited teuden-
cies.
