Love: not because one is worthy, not
yet because one loves you;
But because the greatest need of the
world is steadfast heart and
true,
And because where sin and sorrow
are rife, the hearts best blood is
due"
This is a beautiful sentiment with
which we may all start out the new
year. I commend it to all my friends
and hope I have no enemies. If l
have, however, I hope they will con-
slider the sentiment meant for them as
well.
T read once something like this in
a story book: when God made the
world, He put love in, and none Of 1t
has ever been lost. 1t is simply trans
ferred from one person to another.
Sometimes it takes a different form,
and becomes deed, which, at first,
may not look as if it were made OF
love, but, in reality, is.

birds, and makes all the wonderful
music of spring. 1t puts the color
upon the robins breast, scents the
orchard with far-reaching drifts OF
bloom, and scatters the pink and white
petals over the grass beneath.
Through love the flower changes to
fruit, and the birds sing lullabies at
twilight instead of mating songs.
1T is at the root of everything in

somewhere, there has no; been enough
love. The balance has been uneven,
and some have had too much while
others were starving for it. AS the
lack Of food stunts the body, so the
denial of love warps the soul.
"But oGd has made it so that love
given must unfailingly come back an
hundred fold; the more we give, the
richer we are. And Heaven is only
place where the things that have gone
wrong here will at last come right"
Now, submit, is not that a beau
tiful thought beautifully expressed,
and so true. Then why should
not this world be filled with
love. There is enough for all,
and the more you give the more you
receive. Everybody would be happier,
the world would be better, and the
struggle for existence would be less
arduous. But on the contrary what
do we see-weIl, I will leave It at
this.
I want to make this my first redec-
tons in the new year. helpful aad
pleasant, and if I quote some more
from a story I read once, 7 hope you
will pardon me, for I think it Is a9-l
propriate at this time. TWO persons
/ were asked once what they would be
if they had their choice. The one
replied: 'AThe best lawyer In the
State. I'd never oppose the innocent
nor defend the guilty. And I'd have
money enough to be comfortable"
The other would write book-not
a. Tom Fielder book, that some aof our
people want to see, filed with venom
and hatred and malice, as 1t seems
this book is to be, II it is ever writ
ten-but a book that even an enemy
might be glad to see and to read-one
| filled with love and good cheer and
helpfulness. Not even a, dictionary:
'No, Just little book. The sort that
people who love each other would
choose for a, gift Something that
would be given to one who was going
on a long or difficult journey. The,
one book a woman would take with
her when she was tired and went
| away to rest. A book with laughter
and tears in it and so much fine cour-
age that it would be given to those
who are in deep trouble. I'd soften
the hard hearts, rest the weary ones,
and give the despairfng ones new
strength to go on. Just a little book,
but so brave and true and sweet and
tender that it would bring the sun to
every shady place. -:
Pardon me, please. Maybe you do
not care to read this, or you have no
time for such sentiments. Well, you
may skip it if you like, but my heart
is heavy and lonely tonight and I
can't help it. am trying to believe
that the things which seem, to have
gone wrong here, will at last come
right, and that everything will work
out for the best. l believe it was Gov.
Blease, who, when asked what would
be the best gift for the new year for
the American people, replied that it
would be a. strict obedience to the dl-
vine Injunction to love-love your God
with all your heart and your nelghbor
as yourself. And there is whole
sermon in this reply, if the Injunction
would only be obeyed.

PAY CHECKS
ARE DISTRIBUTED
TONOPAH TODAY
ANNUAL MONTHLY PAY DAY is
OBSERVED BY ALL OF THE =
LOCAL COMPANIES

Dividends are being declared by
every mining and milling company
in Tonopah today in the shape of pay
checks to the various employees The
regular monthly payday means that
a sum somewhere in the vicinity
of S250,000 is being distributed by
the office forces of the numerous
companies in check form. The checks
are being cashed by many leading
firms and a good percentage OF the
amount quoted is going into crcula-
tion.
Local business men reported today
that business was better than for
months past and in several instances
IL. was stated that the transactions
of the past month continued to be
good up to payday, which is quite
contrary to precedent Heretofore
a decided falling away could be no
ticed in business circles during the
ten days preceding the monthly pay
day. The change in conditions is
believed to be permanent.
The payroll of today is equal to
that of any past month in the his.
tory of Tonopah and is believed to
be slight increase over the amount
paid out last month.
