SOME NEW YEAR ADVICE.

Don't wait for the wagon while the
walking is good.
Don't grieye over split milk while
there's one COW left in the pasture.
Don't say the world is growing
worse when you are doing nothing to
make II better,
Don't tell the world your troubles.
You can't borrow ten dollars on them,
Don't let the grass grow under your
feet. The cows can't get at II there.
New Years is a grand. an inspiring
occasion, for it is always saturated
with hope. We are wont to scott at
and deride il as a day when men make
good resolutions only to break them;
when they turn over new leaves as it
is called. they merely turn them back
again They want, they hope to be
better. and but few of them are so.
They determine to advance, and if they
do advance they slip back. Their fail
ures are many, are continuous, and
often excite laughter. But it is worth

OLVEY.

When one has been absent from
Boone county for three months or
more and returns home from one of
the army camps and takes a squint at
what has been going on one is i'm
pressed by the fact that history is be
ing made right here at home as well
as in No Mans Land
For instance, the Jefferson Highway
project has been up and down and
now seems to be coming up again,
Ike truth, crushed to earth will rise
again. 1t would be a great thing if
those opposing the road and those ia
voring it could get together on some
common ground in order that all good
citizens might work together whether
it be for a common dirt road with suit
able culverts or a more expensive high
way.
1t would seem that both factions are
beginning to see some light in this
direction. In talking with one good
citizen who has opposed the road from
the beginning, jim Villines, is his
name, he states that he now fayOrs
the good road plan, but not the eX-
Lensive highway as first advocated.
This sounds sensible and it clearly
shows the tendency Of getting togeth-
er without which nothing much can be
Gycomplished
Then, the proposed new Constitu-
tiOn has been given an uppercut, or in
other words knocked out, by the very
men who would have been benefited
most by its adoption, the farmers and
COuntrymen who want better schools
and better rural communities without
higher taxation
There is one gratifying thing noted
and that is the far.sighted loyalty OF
lIt county plt00 w DOIu VI llltot

can not be given these men who stood

But, bow can town like Harrison

Ter in Motor, in the course Of very

Is nothing to prevent designers think
ing out and planning new cars and
most Of the reputable British firms are
in fact advertising that they have long
waiting lists for their post belum au-
tOmObieS. They are not, however, so
keen to diyulge exactly where those
cars of the future will differ from the
old. That is Understandable. But re-
celyed opinions almost with one accord
agree that British manufacturers are
to make a bid for the custom Of the
