BROTHERS SENTENCED ON
MAIL ROBBERY CHARGES

Richard and Frank Chaplin, broth
ers, who were arrested three weeks
ago at Buffalo, N. Y, charged with
systematic robbery of the United
States mails, pleaded guilty in
Federal District Court to a charge
of illegal possession of mail pouch
keys: Richard was sentenced to six
teen months in Elmira Reformatory
and Frank to fifteen months.
Officers said that the Chapins' al
legged thefts from the mails amount
ed to more than 100000, much of
which was in negotiable paper,
which they destroyed. Jewelry and
other goods worth more than
$4,000 were found in their home
when the authorities raided it.

And so Germany is quick to re-

But does she really reply?
Her so-called reply, which is also
the reply of her confederates, Aus
tria- Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria,
is merely courteous acknowledge
ment of the reception of the Presi-
dents note, with an assurance that
it has been considered in the friend
ly spirit in which it was sent, fol-
lowed by the suggestion that in
GermanY's opinion the road to peace
is through an immediate exchange
of views at Il meeting Of delegates
of the belligerent States, which she
proposes should be held at some
neutral place.
That is Germany's reply to the
President. But it is not reply to
his note. In the note the President
asked Germany to tell him what
she is fighting for and on what

better to say, in view of its recep-

unwelcome-is first to make reply.

Expect little; demand nothing and
do all you can. This is a happy
motto and one worthy of wide
adoption. Most of us expect notice
taken Of what we do. We expect
praise and encouragement and
thanks and if we do not get them
we become disgruntled and stop
working. This is not the way to do
good service.

LuuHtHu tLhu tuEfu
What will the year 1917 meau
to this town, to this community, to
this peopleg
What will be your personal att
tude toward the making of a better
town, more prosperous communi-
ty, more open hearted people7
The efforts of the individual citi-
Zen Ray accomplish something. The
cooperation of collective people
will produce notable results.
II Collective operation is only
possible where confidence and good
, will exist, and where there is a de-
termination to utilize this combina-
tion to the ultimate good Of all.
y The man who holds a crouch
against his neighbor can not sue
cessfully pull in harness with that
neighbor SO long as that crouch
exists. Lose the crouch.
The man who disparages and
undermihes the reputation of an
other can not expect the commun-
ity in general to think well Of the
assassination of characters Speak
gently and use the soft pedal.
The man who says ego aheadr
can not expect to keep pace with
the hustler who says "come on"
Step lively and get there.
And one man who saws 81 will'
is worth hundred Of those who
say 81 Can't"
This is the time of year when
the hopper of time is filed with
new resolutions. But it is more
profitable to act than to resolute.
Let us make this year of
action, of deeds, and of results.
Let us make this more than a
collection of individuals. Let us
make it community of people with
one aim, one ambition, and one
great purpose in life, and let us
make that purpose the good of man
and womankind in general and Of
this community in particular.
If we work collective and ear
nestly and energetically we will
achieve success, but if we labor
individually 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 heaviest burdens, and collec-
lively might roll the heaviest barriers
away.
We may each pursue our own
chosen vocations, and yet all labor
in the common cause of a better
and more prosperous town and
countryside.
Two horses pulling in one direc-
ton will get the load there. But
when one pulls and the other balks
the load stands still
Will 1917 find us community
of loyal pullers, or divided aggre-
cation of pullers and bakers who
accomplish nothing but to stand
still?
Nineteen seventeen will tell the
story, and YOU viii put the words
in the mouth of the teller.
What are those words going to
be?
win they be loyalty, cohesion,
aggressiveness, success? Or will
they be disloyalty, suspicion, disin-
tegration, disaster9
A year of promise is ahead, but
promise never makes good unaided
and alone.
We must each grasp the oppor-
tunities with which nature has pro-
vided us, and turn those opportuni-
ties to individual and collective veal.
To do otherwise will be to stand
still while others march on to VIC
tory and to success.
Shall We stand, or shall we
