new year. Let us take up our new

spirit. knowing that God who has pur-

us grace to carry us safely through.
Happy New Year, The message Is
sent far and near. Let the glad greet.
ing be heard on all sides. There is
prophecy and promise in the New
Year. Even to those who are bent with
grief, or lonely by reason of bitter
bereavement it is possible and timely
to say, though with lowered tone and
softened accent: Happy New Year"
Every year will be happy. or. at
least, a peaceful one in which the
presence of the Lord Is realized
which is spent under the protection OF
his wings. while its duties are dis
tiles are borne with the assistance of
his grace. For the Christian every
year should be an improvement on the
past, and offer its additional oppor-
tunities for growing in grace and
Christlikeness. The Christian is a.
convinced and convincing optimist
for. having heavenly hope which the
world can never give or take away.

HICKS LOSES OUT.

Our good friend Judge Hicks, who
is the representative from Gipin
county in the state legislature, lost
out in the contest for speaker Of
the house. He put up valiant
fight against big odds but the Den
yer machine was too much for him.
Then, too, he was unfortunate in
having the support of Thomas M.
Patterson forced upon him and any
one familiar with political history in
Colorado knows that Patterson's sup
port, Ito put it in the words of Hugh
o'NeiIl, editorial writer of the Post)
"invariabIy invites and insures de-
feat"
It looked very good for the Judge
for time and he had almost enough
votes to land him in the speakers
chair, but when he assembled all the
strength he could muster he was
one vote short, with his own incIud-
ed. The Boulder delegation said they
would give him their three votes If
he could show 24,whch would have
made him 27, sufficient to elect. He
could only show % with his own.
In the caucus held Tuesday after
noon the names of the Judge and
Harry Lubers were presented. The
former received "a votes and the
latter 19. When the Judge found
that he could not be elected he
released those who had stood with
him and told them to vote for his
opponent If It would aid them in any
way in the procuring of patronage,
etc.
Some good workers rallied to the
support of GiIpin's representative
and stayed with him throughout the
fight. Friends from GiIpin county
went to Denver and Iobbied for him
and did as much as they could to
make him votes. He had no finan
cial assistance aside from the mon
ey he advanced in his own behalf ant
even though he did lose out he
made a name for himself and kept
Gilpin county prominently before th'
eyes Of the public.

is short, and it remaineth that all
who know Christ and partake OF his

not themselves of the morrow. Suffi-
cient unto each day is the burden and
blessing thereof.
The newness of the new year is es-
sentially newness Of spirit A new
man will always enjoy the new year
When another January arrives it is
distinctively the time to slough off the
old and to put on the new. There is
an old nature to be discarded, and a
new spiritual manhood to be assumed.
The trouble with many people. how
ever. is that they try to remake and
to reform themselves. forgetting that
a few good resolutions. more or less
loosely kept, can at best only touch
the outside and possess no interior
efficacy in the recesses of the spirit.
The new man who is really worthy of
the name is the new man in Christ
Jesus. Where Jesus is there is always
newness of experience, renovation of
the moral nature, freshness of hope
and a resiliency of elastic joy. 1t is
not necessary to wait until the first
of January in any approaching year
to win the wisdom of such a heavenly
faith or to experience the benefits of
such a spiritual quickening. The
promise of God is now, to every one
that belleveth. Each morning may be
a resurrection day, each evening n
time of golden promise fair, yet not
as fading. as the sunset. The New
Year Joy is for all Of life. all the
time.
1t is stimulating and encouraging to
feel that brand new year is offered
for happy employment, and that the
old records with their motley pages.

For several weeks big real estate
deal for the possession of North Da-

was completed at Mitchell. Inter-
ested In the deal is I. w. Seaman and
his son Charles and several other
Mitchell men. Without doubt it is
one Of the largest, if not the largest,
that has ever been pulled off in the
state, although the land is outside
the states boundaries. The tract of
land comprises 10000 acres, and is
located W thin few miles of Man
dan, N. D. The amount involved in
The transaction is $4,000. This
ranch has been held for number of
years by a corporation, at the head
of which was NJ A. Clark, formerly of
Alexandria, and now of Minneapolis.
Mr. Seaman turns in the Stearns
ranch, located near Yankton, at a
value Of $4,000.
The ranch has fine buildings on
1t that are lighted with electricity
from plant located on the farm; it
is stocked with 800 head of register
ed cattle, to say nothing Of the low
er grade; with registered mares and
stations and many work horses;
there are 900 acres under pillow and
there are SO miles of fencing on the
place; every pasture of the great
farm has fine spring of water rum
ming; there is a tive-foot vein of coal
on the farm Of the Ignite variety,
which supplies alY the necessary fuel.
Charles Seamon is at present at
the ranch, and is getting things in
readiness for spring work, and will
remain there as manager.

SYNOD CLOSES ITS SESSION.
Lutherans of Three States Gather at
WatertoWn

The meeting of the German Luther
an synod of Minnesota. comprising
the States of Minnesota, South Dakota
and North Dakota, adjourned at
Watertown after one of the most i'm
portant meetings in it's history. The
closing session was entirely taken up
with the question of moving the DR..
Martin Luther college, the school of
the synod, from New Ulm, Mimi, to
st. James, MINI.
More room is needed at once for
the institution than the present facili-
ties afford and, as there is consider
able dissatisfaction among the clergy
regarding the attitude of the city of
New Ulm to the college. they are not
at all adverse to listening to the
proposition of ST. James for removing
the school to that city. Through the
business mems union of st. James the
synod can get the Park hotel in that
city, which cost $104 900, for 100000,
and it is intimated that $1,000 of this
can be raised in the city. The hotel
is four-story brick building, S0x12S
feet, and modern throughout, with a
land plot of two blocks. The furni
ture in the building is valued at $685.
600. 1t was urged by Messrs. Burns
and Rempal of st. James, who were
sent by the business mems union of
that city tt appear before the synod
and present their claims, that the first
two floors of the hotel would accom-
modate the school work of the institu-
ton, and the third and fourth floors
with their 1923 rooms, seventy Of
which are with bath, furnish ample
dormitory facilities for the college.
By motion the ST. James proposition
was referred to the trustees of the
college to investigate, and upon their
recommendation action will doubtless
be taken at the June meeting of the
synod, which will be the silver ami
versary of the founding Of the school,

did another thing in his cooking that

doors Until Quarantine Is Ra!SeQ.
There are many people In South Da-
kota who do not believe that people
should be quarantined for measles and
not for smallpox. Yet that is the law.
There are several cases Of measles in
Vermillion, and in each instance the
occupants of the house are compelled
to remain there until the quarantine
is raised There is no smallpox at
Vermillion, but if there was the only
thing the superintendent of the board
of health could do would be to tack
up a card on a home as a warning to
those who might wish to enter with
out knowing that there existed con-
tagious disease. But the people can
come and go at their own free will.
The law governing smallpox was
passed two years ago, and it was evil
Gently thought that as long as the dis
ease was in such light form there was
no need of quarantine regulations as
district as they had been previously.
Then, too, it was believed that taking
off the quarantine would result in
more people being vaccirated, but it
is doubtful if hundred r!en, women
and children have been vaccinated II
