KEAPPY NEW YEAR, men and
az womenl
Happy New Year, girls and boys!
Let me wish you all sincerely
Twelve months brimming full OF
sjoys.
May new hopes and aspirations
Stir within your hearts today,
Soaring last years disappointments
From your memories away
Turn around and face the sunshine
With its constant warmth and
cheer,
Firm resolving you will seek 1t
Every day throughout the year
Clouds which darken your horizon,
While you're gazing toward the
light,
Are collections OF thin vapor
Which will soon drift out Of sight
Let unselfish love for others
Prompt you oft to noble deeds;
Flowers blooming by the roadside
Are more beautiful than weeds.
Through hfes mazes we all wander,
Many stumble as though blind,
So helping hand be often
Stretching forth to lift mankind
aay this New Year be much better
Than the other years you've passed;
Let it be a strong foundation,
Built to hold your future fast.
Use enough good bricks and mortar
So your edifice won't snake
Should the earth begin to tremble
With a war or giant quake.

Chief Engineer Of
S. P. May Retire

According to parties from San
Francisco, William Hood, long chief
engineer of the Southern Pacific sys-
TEN and one of the foremost railroad
construction engineers in the United
States, will retire February /, says
the Coos Bay Times of Marshfield.
The announcement comes as a great
surprise to all here, and while it is
not officially confirmed, it is de-
clared to be authentic.
The possibility of the change is
said to have come up within a short
time. Mr.. Wood, although consider
ably past 60, is an especially vigorous
man and will scarcely retire from &C
tive life. He has been most active,
last summer calling attention to the
fact that in years he had not taken a
vacation.

A New Years Day
Reflection

A LII years are not alike III
} u value to the race or the
individual; neither are all
days. There are black days and
white days, weeks that are bur-
densome and weeks that are like
a merry chime Of bells, months
that rumble with the thunder of
defeat and months that resound
with the shouts Of victory.
There is no monOtOny In time.
1t varies as does the landscape.
In one period il is as level as
western prairie, with no spe-
cial experiences to mark its pas
sage; In another changes come
and events occur which make
the weeks resemble the Ale
ghenies, mountain heights gath
cred together like a great COM
pany of giants whose shining bel
NETS are visible though you have
Travelled far away and stand on
your horizon line; in still another
some day or week with its Won
drous happenings rises from the
plain of memory like a veritable
Mont Blanc, and though seven
ty years be counted in your cal
endar you still see its summit
and say. THAT was the hour
when my new life began"

At times they acted too freely and
then again not often enough. My
back felt weak and lame and | was
tired and languid all the time. Final

and they helped me wonderfully.

they have done me good"
