The world stops to take notice OF the

let us further resolve that during the
coming days we will, occasionally,

NEW YEAR MEMORIES
BY Fred Bogardus-

OH for an old fashioned New Year day.
With enjoyments keen and pure.
When fun and frolic reigned supreme.
Good fellowship the lure.
As we Journeyed to the parties
Afoot. perchance by sleigh.
The atmosphere seemed laden with
Best wishes OF the day.
with good old hearty handshakes
We knew were welcome grips,
Instead OF the present method OF
Just touching the fingertips.
How we merrily danced the lancers.
Danced 1t with zeal.
Also the polka and minuet,
And jolly Virginia reel.
How the young and old enjoyed II
Each In his separate way,
Youth thinking OF the present.
Age OF the bygone day.
While times and vogues may change, alas.
And natures will obeys.
I'll still retain sweet memories OF
The good od-fashioned ways.

victoriano Huerta, former dictator
Of Mexico, died last Thursday at 81
Paso, Texas, under the flag which he
refused to salute. He died prisoner
of the United States, charged with
organizing in this country new
revolution in Mexico.
Huerta was a soldier, physically
brave, morally Mexican, but the
strong arm is the main requisite for
president OF Mexico. Had President
Wilson, at the beginning Of his term,
formally recognized the presidency
OF Huerta, as other nations already
had done, the support thus given him
might have enabled Huerta to bring
some sort Of order out Of chaos. In
stead, recognition was refused him,
and the policy OF watchful waiting
was inaugurated by the administration
at Washington.
