The New Year.

On this January l, 1915, we wish all
the readers Of The Enquirer a happy
and prosperous New Year.
1t is an unpleasant truth that the
winding up Of the year just closed has
not been in accordance with the bright
prospects Of five months ago. Then
crops were flourishing and the indica-
tions were that the prices to be re-
ceived would be liberal enough to
make everybody reasonably easy If not
actually comfortable. Since then
through no fault Of our people, there
has come about conditions that have
made for change that has been ac-
companied by no little gloom.
The situation does not look nearly
so bad now as 1t did only a few months
ago, and really and truly the outlook
for the country seems to be growing
brighter every day. Probably the i'm
provement will not be as great as we
would like to have 1t; but there is
every reason to hope that conditions
are going to be better than they they
have been.
And with it all, we wish all our
readers and the country generally a
bright and prosperous New Year.

that as nearly as possible full justice
will be done to the storm sufferers In

It has been suggested that there be
more general division Of the con-
tents Of the Norway car than was at

very likely carry out that suggestion.
