BEST NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

The following is taken from the
January Woman's Home Companion:
Very recently a fair-minded clergy
man. driven to the wall in an argu-
ment, admitted that there are times
when lying is justifiable. 1t is true,
he insisted the occasions are very
rare. Every human being who has
arrived at a reasoning age has met
these oceasians, and has been sadly
troubled You know people who may
be well meaning, but who make truth
telling almost a vice New Year reso
buttons not to lie may sound fine, and
coming from one who constantly jug
giles with truth, especially for personal
advantage, might be applauded if we
had any confidence in the resolution
being made effective. Only a very
brave, a very ignorant. or very dis
honest person would make such a
resolution, especially If there are little
children in the family
1T seems to us the best New Year
resolution should be something that
men and women feel is kind of
creed. not a rule to be slavishly fol
lowed; but a guide, something from
which we may depart when we are in
the grip of circumstances. but to
which we may always return.
1T must be the kind Of resolution
that we all can keep, in greater or
less degree, for it must do real work,
an dthe measure of it must be this
work. 1t must be so simple that a
child can understand it; so significant
that the philosopher respects it; so
real that all OF us can feel it. Do
these familiar fine resolves have this
quality?

Il will try to be kind.
II will try to find the good in others.
Il will carry sunshine with me, es-
pecially into the dark places.
Il will try to make someone happy

Perhaps it would be better to leave
out the word try because the mere
suggestion of attempting leaves va
sort of loophole for not doing. On
the other hand, any one of those re-
solves involves a pretty big contract
for most of us to live up to. You can
see how failure to live up to resolves
like these-and there are bound to be

MARKET NEWS
NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, March 9.-There was
heav yrealizing for over the week
end in The cotton market today while
prospects for more favorable weather
in the south and less cheerful reports
as to the outlook for any immediate
settlement of the English labor trou.
bles Inspired some local pressure and
prices closed barely steady at net
decline Of from 10 to 16 points.
The market opened steady at de-
cline of S@7 points in response to dis
appointing cables and better view
of weather conditions in the south.
Leading trade interests appeared to
be giving prices support on the de-
cline but while selling was more or
less scattered offerings in the aggre
gate were heavy and the market grad
ually worked lower, closing prac
tically the lowest point of the day
The selling seemed to be chiefly in
the way of realizing on recent pur
chases through commission houses,
together with moderate foreign offer
inss and some pressure from local
bears and while the easier tone OF
the market was no doubt partly due
to rather lower cables than expected
and private reports that the labor out
look continued unfavorabe. the main
factor was generally said TO be the
expectation of better weather in the
belt. The weather map showed light
light precipitation during the past
"a hours but the official forecast was
for clear weather over Sunday and
while lower temperatures were indi-
