Random Thoughts

Publishing newspaper is as
rule a matter of business. The
mission of the local paper, how
ever. is especially to work in and
out of season for the building up
of the town and community where
it is published, says an exchange.
In other words, it must be a
booster to be entitled to the act
i've cooperation and support of
the business men and property
holders of that community. There
is no advertisement so beneficial
nor one which more favorably
impresses nonresident than an
ably conducted newspaper full of
live advertising of the home mer-
chants and local news items. Such
a paper at once suggests the
thought that here is live and
prosperous community and the
reader is favorably attracted to it.
There has been more progress
and Improvements made in our
little town during the past year
than in any previous year in the
towns history, and we believe
that during the coming year even
greater advancement will be real
lied. Let everyone put a shoul-
der to the wheel of progress and
push. If you can't push, say an
encouraging word, and if you
can't do that, keep quiet and let
the other fellow do the talking.
A good way to start the new
year is to make a resolution land
stick to it, to pay your debts
promptly. The man who habit
ually and Intentionally neglects
to pay his just debts is not de-
sirable citizen in any community
and never has the respect and
confidence that is given to his
prompt paying neighbor.

srocK MARKET REvIEw.

New York, Dec. 16.-The impressive influence of the money situation was discernible again in the action of the stock market to-day. The claim of the market was stiff and rates in the de- partnent were higher than on Friday The slow improvement in the banking position goes on, but last weeks more conservative views of the time re- quired for working out the remedy continued in force and little more is heard of the probability of restored ease in the money market intervening before the end of the year. Notwith- standing the substantial recuperation affected in the banking position as ex- hibited in the weekly bank statement on Saturday, the banking authorities were evidently proceeding to-day with the work of building up their reserve strength. The scaling down the credit deposits in the loan item by the New York banks was responsible for the firner call money market again to- day. The contraction of credits now being enforced by the New York banks marks the passing in some degree, of the acute stage of the money crisis. Attention was given to-day to the an- nual report of the comptroller of the currency, in which the distinctive part played by panic amongst bankers themselves in precipitating the crisis lis dwelt upon. The conclusion reached in effect by this government official, seems to be that the present banking reserve system was broken down and practically dlscredited by the events of October and November. The currency premium persists in New York. The sustained demand of the New York bankers for gold is arousing uneasiness in London and Paris over the ability of those centers to take care of the German position at the end of the year. The principal weakness in the days stock market was amongst stock associated with the metal industries. As prices started higher and then made some final recovery, the days extreme declines were partly neuralized.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales
 U. S. bonds were unchanged on call.

in view Of the fact that his hnances were
at low ebb, he solved the question in this

to keep from eating. and remained up all
night to keep from sleeping. TIL second
day he took physical culture exercises.
On the third day he could not stand the
strain any longer, and went down in the
dining room and ordered the best meal on
board the boat. While eating this meal
he could see In his minds eye a picture
of a cell in the bastile in a Francisco.
After finishing his meal he said to the
