Modern Woodmen Give
Supper.

Appalachian Camp, 1881, M.
w. Of A., gave supper at their
hall Tuesday night to members
and a few friends. With the
members present and visitors
about fifty people partook of the
sumptuous meal, which had been
prepared by wives of the members
and brought to the hall in baskets.
The proverbial twelve baskets
full remained after all had been
fed. The supper was arranged
on a long table extending across
the hall and was served in old
fashioned picnic style. A more
jolly, better feeling bunch of fell
lows could not be gotten together
and members of the order were
active in seeing that the visitors
were properly cared for, each
member being committee of one
to see that the occasion was a
success.
This was the thirty-second an
niversary of the founding of the
order. 1t has a membership now
of about a million and a quarter.
The Newport lodge was organized
about six years ago and now has
a membership of thirty-nine and

A NEW YEAR IS BORN
Short Sermon Prepared for Plain Talk Readers By
An Attache
An Attache~

"A INCW CdI ID UOIU
Nineteen hundred and fifteen
What will it bring us?
Will it be a year Of plenty-ol
of want?
Will it be one of happiness-ol
Of misery?
Will it be one of honor-or o1
obloquy?
Will it be one of life-or O
death.
If we only knew
To many of us it will be a yeal
of plenty-if we do our part
we but use our brains, and oul
energy, and our perseverance,
we use them in the right way.
But will we do that?
Will the right way appeal to us,
Many of us have made the Gus.
tomary New Years resolutions
with the full intention to live uF
to them.
But will we so live?
Will the year be one in which
we place right above all Other
considerations?
Will it be one in which we place
honor above gold and charity
above creed, and gentleness above
arrogance?
Or will we plunge headlong in
to a frantic and gasping rush for
the golden end of the rainbow?
Will it be a year in which oul
simple word is as good-or even
better-than our bond?
Or will it be one in which we
haggle, and twist, and squirm
and evade, and conceal, and de-
ceive?
1t may be the one, or the other.
But which will it be?
We mean well-but will we do
we'll?
Only time can tell.
A New Year!
To some it will bring sorrow,
ard sadness, and tears.
It will bring suffering, and
agony, and despair.
It will bring want, and hunger,
and desperation.
And from desperation to crime
is often but a step!
And crime is the pathway that
leads down to the depths of hell
into the arms of the devil-to
everlasting torment and the
eternal damnation of a soul.
But the sadness of such an end
ing might often be avoided if we
but extended a helping hand in
time.
Just a little help-a few kind
words-a slight effort to obtain
food and employment for those
who are unfortunate, yet worthy
who are tottering upon the
brink.
We might extend that help
we could give something's we
would!
But will we?
A New Year!
And there is a King of Kings,
who keeps a Great Book, and
each page of that book contains
the life record of a human being
of us!
It will contain our records for
this new year that is just born,
as it contains our records for the
years that are gone.
And what will be our record
for this new year?
Will the Great Book record lit
tie acts of kindness, Of good cheer,
of assistance to the MANNED, and
the sightless, and the aged, and
the needy, and of compassion for
the little child that knows no
home?
Will our records for the new
year be such as will bring a loving
smile to the kindly face of the
King of Kings?
Or will it bow His gentle heart
in grief and sorrow?
1t will be as we choose to make
it.
But what will we choose?
/ A New Year!
Will it bring gladness to all
homes?
Or will it find some who are yet
weary and heavy laden, and in
need Of rest and spiritual cheer?
Not all Of the good people have
their names inscribed in a church
register.
The world is full of good peo-
pie who seldom see the inside of
a house of God, to whom His
teachings are but a memory,
whose pleasures on earth are SO
few there surely must be some
great recompense for them in the
life beyond.

lR ANTI-ALIER Law INVALID
Federal Judges Sitting at san Fran
cisco Declare the Arizona Act
Unconstitutional

San Francisco, Jan S.-The Arr
iona Anti-Alien Employment Act,
adopted by the people of the state at
tive measure, was declared unconsti-
tutional, null and void here yesterday
by a special court of three federal
judges.
The law was placed on the statute
books through the initiative, and pro-
vided that 80 per cent of the en-
ployes shall be American citizens in
any business employing more than
five persons.
Opponents of the measure attacked
it on the ground that it violated
treaty rights of foreign citizens.
The law particularly affected rail-
road construction work, mining and
similar lines where much common
labor is employed
In brief, the court held that the
statute violated the guarantees OF life,
liberty and the possession of prop
erty made to all alike, whether aliens
or not, under the Fourteenth Amend
ment. to the United States Constitu-
ton; that if the state of Arizona could
forbid any employer to hire more than
20 per cent of aliens, it could with
equal justice forbid him to hire 1 per
cent, or even an individual alien.
This struck at the vitals of the act,
which ordered that any employer with
a payroll of five or more names must
see that at least 80 per cent of those
names were duly qualified electors.
