Tho How Year

The old years gone his misty way,
the new years with US brave and gay.
What will the new year bring, we
ask, as we pursue our daily task ?
The answer to it all depends on divers
little things, my friends, If we de-
termine to do right. the year will
treat US pretty white; II we elect to
~ astray, the year will soak US every
day. All years are pretty much the
same; they always play the same old
game; when ushered In they wear Il
smile, and then they snort around
a while. and put some silver In our
hair, and then they're gone I know
not where. They play no favorites,
the years; and what we know Of
smiles or tears depends upon the path
we take, and not on VOWS we make or
break. So live that when this year
Is gone you may behold the next
years dawn with eyes serene, and
calmly say: 1.-THE good old year that's
slid away beat any year I've lived
through yet-for I've done nothing
to regret."-Walt Mason In Denver

Gates very strongly the desire OF the

twelve years since all the numerals in
the date of the year have been odd
numbers. The last time that they
we're all odd was in 1899 and the Sec

all the numbers in the year were even
was in the year 202 and they will not

years from the first of the new year,
