ASSIST THOSE AROUND US

Are Close to Home.

All history teaches us that all condi-
lions change and that every war cloud
must eventually pass away It IL the

while every individual has his own
plans for the new year and they are
usually generous and kindly in pur-
pose; a universal spirit that explains
the CHEEKY hopes for the new year.
True, 1t has been with many rather
a strenuous and exacting time In plan
ming gifts for the Christmastide out
Of the surplus of last year, but they
will be none the less appreciated, be-
cause this years benefactions posi-
bly, represent a greater sacrifice than
those Ct years past. Then, too, there
have been heavy claims on American
generosity for funds with which to
send contributions for the millions of
suffering, homeless and destitute PEG
pie abroad.
But on New Years day we should
look more closely at home. and remem.
Der that around US are many that need
help and assistance. There are thou.
sands Of struggling men aud women
that need just now something in the
way of encouragement and inspiration
to say nothing Of a little financial
boost here and there.
The New Year has always been
popular holiday with me. because the
greeting carries the word happy" and
wonder II happiness ss not, after all,
what most Of US are seeking. We
work for it; we plan for 1t and ought
to be thankful when we find it, and
when you say happy, you must feel
happy and look happy.
The word happy comes from
hap" and hap means chance-good
fortune, and implies peace and joyous
hours. What a slender thread be-
tween happy and ''hapless. and we
feel on this occasion like using Shake
speares greeting. "All happiness be-
chance to thee" We just stop and
look at the word as It stands out by
itself ard that is why It seems so APP
propriate to have little talk on hap

Time for Marbles Is Near

II has teen estimated by statisti-
clans that more than 100000, 900
small clay marbles are used by the
boys Of the United States every
spring time. II is known fact that
les. oo0. 900 marbles are made every
year by one clay marble manufac-
turer whose plant is In Summit
county. q. And these marbles are
made or rolled by young girls.
The marble manufacturer does
not devote all his attention to the
manufacturing Of the game mar.
BILE" There are various uses TO
which the marble Is put. and, as n
matter Of fact, the size varies nc
cording TO it's intendef use. Toe
standard OIL compa:' is one of the
largest buyers of marbles. and these
are used for oil cans, and larger
sizes are started In graded pipe lines
to clean out the paraffin which gath.
ers on the side Of the pipe as II
flows to the tanks.
Clay marbles are used also by the
manufacturers OF rubber, ink and
salt. chemical and powder makers.
They are used also in grinding the
large stones of the photographer and
by railway supply people. Puzzle
box makers are also large buyers OF
marbles.
The sizes OF the clay marbles a.
made ir the United States vary from

Drooling Dolts In the

This item does not mean much to care

But to thoughtful men it means that As

1t means that these senators are will
ing to give away forever to a private

countrys valuable water power.
1t means that private corporations are
authorized, by the Shields bill. to seize
upon any land, private or public. which
they choose to condemn for water power
purposes.
1t means that the public as whole is
