DR.. WILEY WINS FIGHT
Wilson Says He Would Be Glad to
to Give Free Rein.

hington.-Irrigated to exaspera-
ton by DR.. Wiley's five-year-long
fight to be made sole judge of the
law and facts in the enforcement of
the so-called pure food law, Secretary
Wilson, who returned from his va
cation a few days ago, is willing to
turn the enforcement of that statute
over to the doctor. He would not
make the slightest objection to the
doctor being placed in sole charge of
the work.
His idea is that it is not part OF the
duty of the head of department
created to foster agriculture to be
called upon to decide about labels on
food products or which is the right
way to make whiskey or beer.

It's New Years, little kid, and you
Are starting on your way
Where varied paths go winding
through
The darkness and the day;
You may not rise to choose your path
Until the years have spread
Their kindly mantle over and
Around your curly head,
So will guide the way for you
And I will love you when
You feel oppressed and need the
smile
Of older fellowmen.
IT'S New Years, little kid, and you
Must open wide your eyes,
And lift your voice in sanguine praise
To Him up IN the skies;
He gives to you the stars Of night,
The sun of noon and dawn,
And yours the peaceful sleep and
dream
When daylight time is gone;
For you He blends the sunset skies
For you all hope was made,
And he has taught me love for you
That you be not afraid.

villages are more attractive. Penn
lived for some time at Warminghurst,
where he bought a great house In
1876. At Cootham, one of his chill
dren is buried, and the meeting
house, which is still standing, and
where Penn himself used to attend
service, was built with the timber OF
one of his ships. Ringmer provided
him with a wife, the daughter of Sir
William Springett, whose bust is in
Ringmer church. The lady rejoiced
in the name Of Gulielma.
The old records tell us that Guliel-
mas grandfather used to be drawn
to church by eight oxen. This wa
nartIy because he was very impc
tant person, but chiefly because the
roads were so bad. For many long
wears the usual method Of conveyance
with Sussex landowners was a wagon
drawn by oxen. In more recent times
thew have used horses. An old laborer
of my acquaintance told me that
when his late master died, his fu-
neral coach was a wagon drawn by
four horses and the peasants who
carried the coffin to the grave wore
black smocks and white gloves.
"That is how it always used to be at
buryin's," he said, "and it do look
much better than they new-fangled
,earses." It certainly must have been
a very picturesque cortege' The
daughter of this particular farmer
was married only few months ago,
and she, too, showed that she had
fondness for ancient customs She Is
a lady of mature age and determined
that her wedding should set an ex-
ample to the younger generation. Ac-
cordingly. she chose for her carriage

gheepish looking bridegroom sat b!

and set your aim upon duty, God and
the unfading, this new year will bring
you no sorrow without its comfort
and over and over again it will fill
your cup with blessing.
Purpose is the very soul Of exist
ence. There is little need that we
press this fact home. The average
man grasps its truth instantly.
AS we stand upon the threshold Of
the New Year. however, we do well
to consider a certain phase Of It's
meaning-that which applies to the
things that are new.
We naturally like what is new.
There is a certain charm about va
riety. When life presses strongly up
on us with its burden of responsible
ity and its pressure of care there is
ever the temptation to throw off the
old and take care of the new.
We respectfully suggest that the
problems Of life cannot be solved by
some patent process; old responsible
ties cannot be shaken off by the adop-
tion of fantastic theories Of religion
and morals; there are no short cuts
to truth.
With this in mind, what shall be the
truest attitude of the thoughtful man
toward the possible variety of the
New Year. True, it may be variety
closely resembling that of year ago;
the commonplaceness of life's expe-
riences is only too apparent. To win
without effort is a misnomer; to attain
without sacrifice is to eliminate joy;
to look for an easy path is to prove
the worthlessness of such life's at
tainments. So, in view of these sug-
gestions, what shall be our attitude

according to its age and weight. In
several familiar fishes the number of
