Goodby, Old Year.
BY THEODORE II. BoIcE.

The time has come to say goodby,
Old Year, for we must part;
And It's reluctantly we speak
The word that wringS the heart.
For you have been II faithful friend
Through all your twelvc-month stay.
A friend who clung to us by night
And walked with us by day.
We well remember when you came,
A bright and smiling youth,
With all the promises of hope
And all the cheer of truth.
We hailed you then with merry shouts,
And fondly clasped your hand;
With you we started on the road
To newer conqucsts planned.
Along life's thOroughfare,
And you were ever at our side.
In all our joys to share.
Through days of toll and days of rest
We always found you near,
A loyal friend companion true.
With purpose ever clear.
When skies were dark, and rough the
way,
And grief and trouble came,
You through misfortune to us clung,
Your friendship e'er the same.
Through summers heat and winters
cold,
Through gladness. doubt and fear,
You with us steadfastly remained
A loyal friend. Old Year.
But now you're sadly aged, old friend,
Your hair is white as snow;
Your steps, once firm, are faltering,
And you desire to go,
We cannot keep you 'gainst your will,
And so It's with sigh
We clasp your trembling hand and say
"Goodby, Old Year, goodby"

retrospect of them shows that Western
Canada is stronger than ever in the
matter of exhibits, and has taken more
than her usual share of the prize
money. From Western Canada to
Texas is long look, from Alberta,
Saskatchewan and Manitoba to the
southwestern corner of Texas is sew
eral days journey, but the enterprising
farmers from this new country to the
northwest were wide awake to the
possibilities that waited them at the
international Dry Farming Congress
held at El Paso, Texas, II few weeks
ago, to bring to the attention of those
in that far-off corner what the land of
Western Canada could do in the pro-
duction of grains and roots from its
soil. And what did these farmers do!
The first thing was to carry off the
first prize and sweepstakes for wheat.
That was Il fOregOne conclusion, for 1t
has now become an established fact that
nowhere else in the world is there
grown wheat of the high character and
market value of Western Canadian
wheat. The same may be said of oats,
of barley and of rye. But when it came
to notice that Western Canada took
first prize for alfalfa, it was then that
more special attention was given to
the products from Western Canada. 1t
showed that in that country there lies
the opportunity for Supplementing the
wonderful native grasses. so full of nu-
triton that with the tanned varieties,
among them being alfalfa, the cattle
with no other food We're fattened and
fitted for the shambles. Western Can
ada's worth was proved as probably
the greatest mixed farming portion of
the continent When the steers from
the Western Canadian prairies reach
the Chicago stockyards they bring
other places where grass fattening is
the process. But 1t was not only in
grains that Western Canada carried
Off the highest honors at the FL Paso
exhibition. Potatoes, parsnips, beets.
carrots and rutabagas also took the
highest honOrs. In root production
this country is becoming favOrably
known.
The question often arises as to mar
kets. There is always the highest
price awaiting the producer, and as
soon as the Hudson Bay Railway, now
about completed, reaches the Bay.
there will be an additional outlet for
the product of the farm. The Pacific
coast route, via the Panama canal. will
give another outlet Of which full ad-
vantage may be taken. With virgin land
selling nt from SIS to $50 per acre, and
improved farms at reasonable prices
and on easy terms. there is no better
opportunity for the man with limited
means and desire to secure home
at the least cost in country where
he can soon become wealthy. as thou
sands of others have done, than in
Western Canada. To the man with less

WILL PRESENT TO ALLIED
POWERS.
Governments at Vienna, CONSTANT

Making Similar Proposals. Which
Were Communicated to Neu-
traI Powers.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Berlin, Dec. 13--Foliowing is the
text of the note addressed by Ger
many and her allies to the hostile gov.
ernments:
ITO His Excellency, the Ambassador
of the United States of America to
the German Empire:
THE most terrific war ever expe-
rienced in history has been raging for
the last two years and half over
large part of the world-a catastrophe
which thousands of years of common
civilization was unable to prevent and
which Injuries the most precious
achievements of humanity.
Our aims are not to shatter nor
annihilate our adversaries. In spite of
our consciousness of our military and
economic strength and our readiness
to continue the war (Which has been
forced upon us) until the bitter end,
If necessary; at the same time,
prompted by the desire to avoid fur
ther bloodshed and make an end to
the atrocities of war, the four allied
powers propose to enter forthwith
into peace negotiations.
"The propositions which they bring
forward for such negotiations and
which have for their object a guaran-
tee of the existence of the honor and
are, according to their firm belief, an
appropriate basis for the establish
ment of a lasting peace.
1.-The four allied powers have been
obliged to take up arms to defend JUS
tice and the liberty Of national evolu-
ton. The glorious deeds of our armies
have in no way altered their purpose.
We always maintained the firm belief
that our own rights and justified
claims in no way control the rights
of these nations.
"The spiritual and material progress
which were the pride OF Europe at
the beginning of the twentieth cen
tury are threatened with ruin. Ger
many and her allies, Austria-H Hungary,
Bulgaria and Turkey, gave proof OF
their uncomfortable strength in this
struggle. They gained gigantic advan-
| tage over adversaries superior in
| number and war material. Our lines
| stand unshaken against ever-repeated
| attempts made by armies.
| "The last attack in the Balkans has
been rapidly and victoriously over
come The most recent events have
demonstrated that further continuance
of the war will not result in breaking
the resistance of our forces and tho
whole situation with regard to our
troops justifies our expectation Of fur
ther successes.
"If in spite of this offer of peace
and reconciliation, the struggle should
go on, the four allied powers are re-
solved to continue 10 victorious end,
but they disclaim responsibility for
this before humanity and history. The
imperial government, through the
| good offices of your excellency, asks
the government Of the United States
to bring this communication to the
knowledge of the governments of
France, Great Britain. Russia, Bel
gium, Japan, Serbia and Rumania.

A Poem for the New Year.
BY s. e. KIsER.

fill start anew this morning with n
higher, fairer creed;
Rill cease to stand complaining Of
my ruthless neighbor's greed;
Rill cease to sit repining while my
duty's call Is clear.
Pill waste no moment whining and
my heart shall know no fear.
tfll look sometimes about me for the
things that merit praise;
Pill search for hidden beauties that
elude the grumbler's gaze;
Pill try to find contentment In the
paths that l must tread.
fill cease to have resentment when
another moves ahead.
ill not be swayed by envy when my
rivals strength is shown;
Iill not deny his merit. but I'll strive
to prove my own; rF'stH4
Ill try to see the beauty spread be-
fore me, rain or shine
ill cease to preach your duty ana
be more concerned with mine.

New Year.
BY RAY I. HOFFMAN,.

Gaze forth on the bright, shining sun

Think not of the faults and mist"kes
of the past,
Nor drink from the gall favored goblet

Take one backward look and let that
be your last.
The old year has gone and the new Is
before us,
The road to the future is open to
you,
So mingle your voice with the Joy
swelling chorus
And heed to the call of the year that
Is new;
Awov with the thoughts and the words
pessimistic,
The wrongs of the past and the
things that annoy;
Rut substitute action and deeds opti-
mistic
And anchor yourself in the harbor
of joy.
The future depends upon striving and
trying
And doing your pest WIN soui Wv"

The slogan of all should be Doing or

Forget all things past that are border
ed with sadness.
Retain only that which is wholesome
and sweet;
Obi may the new year be o'erfowine
with gladness-
A cladness unstinted, minutely COM
plete.
So keep straight ahead on the new
opened highway.
The sunshine is bright and the SKY
is clear blue; ...l,
Retrace not the past's narrow, roush-
ened old byway,
But travel the road of the year 'hh'

In grateful, glad remembrance

In absence still cherish
These memories of you
And send these lines on New years

To pledge my faith anew.

All blessings 1t may bring

And to whom now will sing.

And may it's smiles and tears

Neither of these, however. McCarroll
fears, SO he says. The Boise favorite
believes that his opportunity has come
to prove to the wrestling world that
he is better than a match for Yokel
and that he can pin his shoulders to
the mat.
Fans are going to see a genuine
wrestling treat. McCarroll will prob
ably appear In faster form tomorrow

to get" Yokel and ret him fast IL the
trick can be turned, That means Nc
Carroll has come to the conclusion he
proposes to- determine for all time just
how good wrestler he s. Mr.. Mike
YoiSel is, therefore. going to have nice
little time on his hands and be a very
busy man. Yokel, however, demon
strated when he took care Of Kilonis
that he is as fast as he ever was for he
made the Greek look like a railroad
wreck victim before he was through
with him. Experienced and still able
to turn all of the tricks of the game,
Yokel will be prepared to meet any
kind of an attack that McCarroll
makes.

n you have catarrh and want to get

cause catarrh. Stomach dosing, oint-
