This is the time of year when the
hopper of time is filled with new res
olutions, But it is more profitable to
act than to resolute.
Let US make this year a year Ct ac-
ton, of deeds, and of results.
Let US make this more than a CO..
lection of individuals. Let us make it
community of people with one aim
one ambition, and one great purp osa
in life, and let US make that purpose
the good of man and womanllind in
general and of this community in par.
ticular.
If we work collectively and earnest.
ly and theoretically, we will accom-.
plish success, but if we labor individ
ually we will accomplish but little.

The road of life is long, and stormy,
and barriers bar our way. But many
hands make light work of the heav-
lest burdens, and collective might may
roll the heaviest barriers away.
We may each pursue our chosen vo-
cations, and yet all labor in the COM
mon cause of a better and more pros
porous town and countryside.
Nineteen seventeen will tell the sto-
ry, and you will put the words in the
mouth of the story teller.
What are these words going to be?
VIII they be loyalty, cohesion, ag-
gressiveness, success? Or will they
be disloyalty, suspicion, disintegra-
ton, disaste?
A year of promise is ahead, but
promise never makes good unaided and
alone.
We must each grasp the opportuni-
ties with which nature has provided

Owing to the number of otherwise
splendid applicants rejected from the
United States Marine Corps for fiat

to the front: in straight line, il possi-

Stand with toes turned in; raise body

Rest second, then with weight of
body borne on toes, lower slowly down
to floor and repeat
When in the house in stocking feet,
walk on toes; heels not touching the
floor, and toes turned in.
When sitting, cross the legs the foot
always resting on the outer sides.
The wearing of broad toe shoes with
the metal arch supporter" absolutely
abandoned also is advocated.

CALL FOR MOTOR BUSES,
American Squadron" Planned for
u. S. Soldiers in London.

The fact that American soldiers are
already passing through London. and
the certainty that increasingly large
numbers of them will be landed in that
lightless city during the night hours,
has made the London Motor Volunteer
Corps anxious that as many motor
buses. as possible be contributed and
grouped in an American squadron
for transporting the boys in khaki.
The men in charge of the work are of
high standing and willingly give their
entire time, involving all-night labor
of the most arduous sort. Each car
used bears the name of the city or or
ganization contributing it. The hoped
for American squadron will be grouped
in units of six each. England, through
enormous drains on her resources, is
compelled to look to America for this
particular purpose.
The cars desired cost $1.700 each and
the opportunity thus offered American
cities and associations to care for their
boys abroad. 1t is contended, should be
well worth consideration.

War No Longer Simple Matter.
Every once in while the daily wander

thing new-something Of a nature not as

it used to be in years or, centuries gone

War has become a matter of training
technical education OF the highest order
and the power that neglects even those
details that apparently are the most triv-
ial is likely to have cause to regret 1t.
For example. men of foreign parentage
