Sometimes, as we enter upon the
new year we feel like forgetting the
one Just passed; turn our backs on it,
with no desire for retrospection, for
as the Scotch bard says: "And back
ward, Och turn my eye on prospect
drear" Now we don't feel that way
toward the last old year We feel
proud of it. Proud of the fact that
the business Of the Iowa knights of the

saying to the new year: Keep your
eye on 1907 and do your best"
