NEW YEARS DAY IN OH

New Years day in old Wales was
not marked with such celebrations as
were some of the other days during
the Christmas season. but there were
two customs observed which are

house to the homes of their neigh

considered unlucky for female to
enter the house first on New Years
day. but should this happen by acct

homes as the first male visitor on
that day. for which l received few
pence.
The second custom was the visit OF

musicians wearing arms, but now the

Didn't Need the Ball.

Two neighboring football clubs had
been drawn together. Local rivalry
ran riot with the feelings of the play
ers, and hard knocks were the order
Of the day. At the end Of the first
half each side had scored a goal. and
several men had been wounded and
winded In the fray.
Neither side being able to add to
the score. the game resolved itself
into a free fight. At last the ball col

dresser; trousers and linen at the
foot OF the bed and, last of all. his
scarf tied in a beautifully neat bow
beneath the mob of the bedpost.
Roger sat up regarding all this
whimsically for some time and won,
dering DULY how 1t is that morning
daylight always imparts such hag-

night before. He yawned and
stretched prodigiously; then made a
bound for the washbowl and i'm.
mersed HIS head in gratefully cold and
refreshing water from the tap.
"Heigh-ho! New Years morning
and my fortieth birthday all in one!

not! I'll make a resolution and not

With q dissenting voice, members
Of the ways and means committee

ing the salary Of the Wayne circuit
judges from $1,000 to $500 per
year. The resolution providing for
the salary boost will be drawn up
by the prosecuting attorney, and
then will be submitted, to the COM
mittee of the whole for final dis
position.
Unless formidable opposition crops
out unexpectedly, 1t is considered
practically certain that the salary
increase will be carried. Thus far.
few of the supervisors have voice
any opposition to the proposed
boost. In the committee of ways
and means, the proposition went
through without argument.
The budget submitted by County
Tax Commissioner Cas- Benton went
through the committee without
change, the total Of $l2,S00 being
allowed. The largest item In Com
