A Thought for 1918.
BY F. C. Bailey

The year 1917 is gonei 1910 is on!
What are our Intentions, our hopesI
our aspirations for the coming year? ?
The past year has been year that
will long be remembered for the
things accomplished, much too long
and too numerous to mention. Great
strides have been made in all lines
toward a better understanding. Many
have been the sacrifices of the past,
and there must be many more in the
year to come. Each of US has prob
ably centered his mind upon some
special thing he will do this year.
Something that will benefit his fellow
man, But! have we in our hurry
forgotten something? What have we
planned for our homes? What have
we in store for our "silent partner? ?
In starting this new year, let US
start at the beginning, and not hurry
through with our aspirations, only to
look back and find that we have ac-
complished nothing. But in this year
when all the world is filled with blood
shed and suffering, when men are at
each others throats in the struggle
for Democracy; in this year when
each of US have planned some sacri-
flee, let US not forget the very founda-
ton of mankind "The Home. Let
our first thoughts be, "What can we
do to brighten our homes?" How
can we sacrifice to benefit "Those who
by the ties of home have claim upon
us?" All! Let us see. Have we
spoken an unkind word last year that
could have remained unspoken? Have
we left the house in fit of anger and
slammed the door, to the wonder of
those little ones upon whose minds
are stamped our every act? Have
we left home in the morning in this
mood, and on closing the gate met
neighbor lady and with the greatest
of care raised our hat and smiled our
best All! Well that was 1917. This
year it will be different. We will try
and make our home the brightest in
the community. We will see that the
love fires are burning bright before
we leave the home, so that we may
find them burning when we return.
We will eliminate all unkindness
of the past so that our little ones, as
they grow up, may never know the
blight of selfish anger, and in making
the world "a fit place to live in" we
may also make our homes a place
where love, tenderness and sympathy
prevail. So that, when we have
passed the meridian of life, and are
journeying toward our final goal,
"Our hands may be filled with deeds
of charity and love, the golden key
that opens the palace of eternity"

ment for thousands of Americans
more permanent. The American
Federation of Labor has brought these
facts before the public time and time
again. I think such callings are
patriotic. Not TO see the opportunity
in South America is to be blind will
fully. The war has awakened South
America. South America has infinite
resources, and deserves, as nations,
long credit. They can not manufact-
ure all that they need today. Nor
tomorrow. Before they develop their
own industries they will need to go
outside of South America to buy
many things. We can make them.
In the development of their own in
dustries they will need capital.
North America has It.

1t is interesting to note the fact
that Newark's present mayor is the
third member of the Atherton family
to be elected to that important office.
The great-uncle of Augustus Ather-
ton, Gibson Atherton, was one of the
first mayors of Newark after the in
corporation of the city, being elected
in 1860.
The family history of the smiling
faced mayor is quite interesting. His
grandparents were Augustus W. and
Cynthia M. Atherton. The former
was a native of Newark township and
was born in 1924. The grandmother,
Cynthia M. Taft, was born in Knox
county. His, great grandfather was
John Atherton, who came from Penn
sylvania and settled in Licking county
when the land was largely uncul-
tivated. He took up the task of
farming amidst pioneer environments,
and assisted largely in the early
development Of the county. He re-
sided here until his death which oc-
cured when he was 80 years of age.
Gibson Atherton, one of his sons,
aside from being one of the first
mayors, was prominent and in
luential resident of the county. He
served as prosecuting attorney and
gained distinction as a noted criminal
lawyer. He represented his district
in congress for four years and was
appointed Judge of the Supreme
Court.
The father of the mayor, Herbert
Atherton, followed farming until 1885
when he moved to Newark where he
engaged in the real estate and coal
business. In 1890 he was elected real
estate appraiser for the city of New
ark and the same year was chosen
county commissioner which position
Ehe held for six years. In 1898 he was
elected mayor and again in 1900 and
also in 1907, having a majority of
ten hundred and sixteen.
William Atherton, a brother of the
present mayor, in 1909 was secretary
to the general manager of the Gin
cinnati, Hamilton & Dayton R. r. and
the Pere Marquette r. R.
Sincerity, loyalty, trustworthiness,
these are qualities that stand as
salient elements in the character of
the mayors family. In turn his
friends believe in him, and feel that
their faith will never be misplaced.
The writer, having had the pleasure
of being next door neighbor to the
mayors mother, is sure that if he has
inherited the loyalty, trustworthiness
and honorable elements of character
and will follow the teachings of his
loving, loyal, christian mother, New
ark will have an efficient mayor of
whom the city can well feel proud.

China's Imperial Library
Will Go To Shanghai

Shanghai. Feb. 2.-Mr. Liang
-Chi-chao. China's greatest scholar,
and founder Of the Shanghai Men,
orial Library to Tsai 40, Is reported
as busy on project to remove Chi
mas Imperial Library from Picking
to Shanghai. 1t Is not yet known
what the outcome Of his petitions to
the government will be, but his plan
seems to be meeting the approval OF
many Chinese not residents Of Shang-
hal.
Mr.. LANG contends that inasmuch
as Shanghai is the center OF activity
in China and much more easily ac-
cessible from all parts of the coun-
try than Picking. and inasmuch as
this most valuable and complete col
lection of Chinese books is not open
to the public in its present home at
Picking 1t is high time that new
policy was adopted that would re-
suit in offering greater opportun'
ity to greater number.
1t is Mr.. Liang's plan to add the
Imperial collection to tine Tsai 40

careful research body declares that
in the ordinary retail grocery stores
