many people who had 10 go without
their mail for days because the roads
were so bad that the carrier could
not travel them.
Then there is the wholesome life
OF the people that suffers. Young
people and old like 10 get together on
purely social occasions like the Sum-
day School picnic or the church SOC
ial or the grange rally. Bad roads
keep those al home who are perhaps
in most need Of social intercourse
and make life dull for many who
would otherwise be happy in the
association with their neighbors.
Thus you see that bad roads an
ect almost every kind OF activity In
the community. The social life,
the school, the church, the home.
farming and marketing must suffer.
Why do you suppose that people do
not realize that and set days when
all the community will turn out and
work the road together?

Nobility of Labor.

1t is the mission of the United States
to ennoble toll and honor the toiler.
In other lands to labor has been con.
sidered the lot of serfs and peasants !;
TO gather the fruits and consume them
in luxury and war, the business of the
great. Since the medieval times Eu
ropean society has been organized OH
the basis of nobility and a people.
Thus has been set on human
Industry and stigma of perpetual dis
grace. Something of this has been
transmitted to the new civilization in
the West-a certain disposition to re-
new the old order of lord and laborer.
Let the odious distinction perish; the
true lord is the laborer and the true
iaborer the lord.-John Clark Riupath.

Treasure Found in India.

A bronze goblet secured in a copper
gessel, which contained some copper
coins bearing certain inscriptions
which are indecipherable, was recent
ly found by two Indian agriculturists.
The coins bear the impress of an image
on one side and, being of archaeological
interest, have been forwarded to the
curator of the Government museum,
Madras. They are believed to have
been in use during the reign Of Tanner
lane.
Hardship Better Than Poverty.
The merchant, dreading the south
west wind wrestling with the Icarian
waves, praises retirement and the ru.
raj life of his native town, but soon
he retires to his shattered bark, in
capable of being taught to endure pow
erty. Horace.

Eorqet the Past.

The New Year is the best of all times
to take mental inventory, and every
one of us should do so. We should
forget the past entirely. All the re-
grets, all the sighs, all the tears that
ever were, or ever will be, combined,
cannot recall one single moment that
has passed. Then why waste good
time and vitality? Meet the New
Years day with brave, smiling face.
The world stops to take notice of the
fighter, and gives him 90 chances out
of 100, whereas the whimperer is
passed by without a glance. Then
let us resolve that the first day of 1917
will see us starting all over again,
standing fearlessly in our places; and
let us further resolve that during the
coming days we will, occasionally,
reach out helping hand to someone
who needs it. This is great resolu-
ton to make-a gilt-edged investment
that pays the highest discount on rec.
ord.

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS
Better to Make Many and Break Some
Than to Have Made None
at All.

It's very much the fashion to joke
about making New Years resolutions
but as a matter of fact there is ad-
vantage In making resolutions, if they
are good ones, and there is no other
date except ones birthday anniversary
so appropriate for the practice.
That individual must be totally de-
void of sentiment who has no senti-
ment on the subject of New Year.
Jokers whose topic is New Years res
olutions lay stress on the fact that
many of them are broken. A fact it
is-there is no denying it. But not all
of them are broken. A man who makes
ten New Years resolutions, every one
of them good, and breaks nine, is
better off to the extent of the virtue
involved in keeping the one to which
he adhereS than if he made none at
all.
For the sake of argument, however,
perhaps it may be conceded that max
ing numerous good resolutions at once
is open to criticism on the ground that
1t is harder to attain perfection in
many things than in n few things, and
that failures cause encouragement,
and that concentration is helpful to
success. From this point of. view the
wise thing for New Years resolution
makers to is to survey their fail
ings and frame few resolutions hit
ting the high spots.

NEW YEAR MEMORIES
BY Fred Boqardus.


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 it with a zeal
Also the polka and minuet,
And jolly Virginia reel.
How the young and old enjoyed 1t
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 old-fashioned ways.
The Colorado statesman., 1916-12-30
SAME OLD BLUFF.

The old year was backing up, pre-
paratory to his departure.
"Have you anything to say before
you leave?' he was asked.
~ don't know that l have. No,
guess not. Unless"
"Yes; go on"
"If had my life over again would
do whole lot different. l wish l had
known then what know now. should
have"
"That's what they all say. It's old
stuff. Good-by."
The Colorado statesman., 1916-12-30

Lucky thought to put New
Years so close to Christmas. If
Bill's folks send us a Christmas
card, reminding us that we
should have sent them one, it's
easy enough to retort with a
New Years greeting.
Good resolutions abandoned
are about as beautiful as snow
flakes that have fallen into a
mud puddle.
The Colorado statesman., 1916-12-30
Rather Plain-Spoken.

"How about the New Years resolu-
tions?"
81 never make any," answered the
busy man.
''You don't mean to say you are en-
tirely free from bad habits?"
"No, indeed, but making New Year
resolutions 1 don't intend to keep is
not one of them"

Swiftly slipping in its flight.

Rimnik- Sarat, thirty miles southwest
of Braila, Rumania's oil and grain

Braila. Previous to the fall of Rim
nik-Sarat the Teutonic allies defeated
the Russians on front of ten and

Wallachia, along the southern Mol
davia border, and in Dobrudja, the
Teutonic allies continue to make gains
over the Russians and Rumanians.
Thirty miles southwest of Brailla the
invaders have captured Filipechti and
west of Rimnik-Sarat are on the Of
