The Spirit of the New Year


 Heavy responsibilities and un- limited opportunities are faced by the world during the new year which has just opened; re- responsibilities which must be shouldered in the interests of civilization; opportunities which must be developed in the interest of progress.
 It is to be a year in which the spirit of brotherly feeling is to be emphasized more than ever before; a time when the nations throughout the world are expect ed to band together for mutual protection; when individuals in every county. regardless of race or creed. will be linked together by stronger ties; when the spirit of community and international cooperation will be encouraged and strengthened.
 The keynote of the year is to be PROGRESS. Wits must be sharpened. minds better trained. skill more fully developed along special lines, in order that the standards of living may be rais- ed and the advantages of the highest type of civilization may be extended to the farther cor ners of the earth.
 Those who have not had ad- vantages of education or tra ming must be helped in their efforts to secure those advantages; and they in their turn must help others.
 And as to business opportuni- ties: The world must fed, cloth- Id and supplied with a rapidly Dcreasing variety and number

be even more careful than ever before to deal fairly with their customers,
 The spirit of fair play will pre- dominate. Those who are in accord with this spirit will pros per and be happy. Those who are out of alignment will event ually be deserted by friends and customers.
 It is to be a year when there will be a demand everywhere for the cut-throat spirit to give way to the spirit of goodwill. Take a mental inventory of yourself; jot down without prejudice your good qualities and your faults. Then after you have them all-assets and liabilities - arrayed against each other. sum up the two columns and see if there is enough of good in you, enough of generosity. of sym pathy, of integrity. of faith, of self-confidence, of humility, of determination, and enough of other virtues in you to raise you above your faults and enable you to move along on the current Of the new era without capsizing and going down. If you find that you are deficient in these qualities, develop them. Don't let yourself stagnate and drop behind when others are moving forward. Make up your mind that in the new year you are not simply going to turn over a new leaf" Start out with a brand new book and fill it's pages through the next 12 months with achievements of which you and your friends will justly be proud. -Arkansas Democrat.

France Nov. 28. 1918

France Nov. 23, 1918.
 Dear Emma and All. Will write you after % long. Hope you are all we'll. This leaves me alright and having . good time. Wish l could be with you all to- night, for l am sure l would have a good time. l am goingsto visit you, Callie and Clay when l get home. l have been studying about where to stay when l get back. Of course 1 had rather stay at home than anywhere else, but 1 don't know what 1 would do there. l don't think 1t will be long until 1 can come home.
 We'll, 1 have been over the top i've times and have been lucky every time. 1 have been at the front ever since the first day of October. On Nov. 18th 1 got accidentally wounded. 1 built a fire on a shell of some kind and it exploded and hit me all over. l couldn't feed myself for awhile, but my hands are getting alright now. l haven't written Pa any thing about it for you know how he is to worry about things. He iS the only one 1 have written to since l got over here. l have not received any mail over here ex- cept a letter from Clay forward ed from Camp Merritt, N. J.
 1 forgot to tell you l got two prisoners while at the front. One of them said he was only nine teen and had been in the war three years. He could speak English almost as good as l can.
 1 dream of Ona nearly every night. Sometimes l get uneasy about you all for my dreams are so plain. When 1 go home l am going to slip in on them. Don't tell them for l don't want them to be expecting me. 1 have been having me some time today. l had the biggest dinner 1 have had in France, and went to a foot oall game this evening. There is a movle to 20 to every day and night. but 1 don't go very often. This is a big town 1 am in, but it is not like being in the States for I can't talk to these French peo- ole. There is lots of difference in their way and ours. If could talk with you 1 could tell you things you could hardly believe. often think of the good times us kids use to have at home and it hurts me to go home and all of AL

Pershing, and beaucoup plus not tables. 1t was the first time l had ever seen either president. but l had seen the others be fore, Clemenceau especially, for we always say that he goes into every reconquered town in the first wave. He and Foch are certainly idols over here.
 We'll. Paris certainly went wild and they'll stay that way a week. They say there are two million outsiders in town. and 1 believe it. Nearly half the entire crowd is in uniform representing all the allied nations ns-Americans Anzachs, Italians, Portugese, and all the rest, having the time of their lives. The crowds surge back and forth, and a fellow has to make some pretty good plung es to make block and half an hour on the Rues des Itaiens. The chief amusement is getting hats, in crowds there isn't much chance of recovering one that has been grabbed, and l lost mine pronto (soon) but probably owned a hundred during the ev- ening including one American colonel. Then at different times 1 wore Ancac fedoras and red fezes, chasseurs' caps. two or three derbies fact about every style of hesdgear imagin- able. About half of the Amer jeans today are barsheaded.
 A fellow is supposed to kiss every one who throws confetti in his face, but 1 managed to pass up some of them. A French man never does, and an Austral- ian doesn't pass up one that don't throw confetti. They're sure one crazy bunch, but they are the best fighters and finest fel- lows in the world, also the high est paid.
 Pm sleeping at an American Portugese Y and eating nearby at a Red Cross house. think I will go out to the Invalides about Tuesday if I've got nothing bet ter to do
 Tomorrow we interview the chief paymaster and find out where we go and draw our francs.

Cnlnk the paintings there are the best l have ever seen. In one chamber, the one Roosevelt was banquetted on his trip through civilized Europe and Germany, there are paintings of all the battles won by the French from the time Clovis to Napoleon.
 Then there are beds. rugs. chairs, etc. used by the French royal families, and the statues of all their famous men. l wouldn' t have missed sit for money. and l had hardly enough sinterest tc cause me to go up there either. We'll. we went to Le Mons, a replacement camp. and there we found that they didn't know what to do with the marines, and we found some marines .who had been there a month. which is exactly % days longer than 1 want to be in any casual camp.
 The doughboys were taken care of, and suppose are headed for the States by this time. It happened that we still had the travelling orders that took us to school. AzAt the bottom of them 1t says, When the course is completed, they will return to their stations" which we take to mean the 4th Brigade. So we took these orders up to the Col onel after running the gauntlet of sergeant majors, ieutenants, etc., and were told that we would have to wait till they got to us; but that didn't satisfy us. and finally we found a lieutenant who gave us travelling orders to Marine Headquarters. Paris, Then we hit Paris after an ab- scence of only thirty hours, Our passes have no dates or anything. l figure we could stay six months if we wanted to but we are too anxious to be assigned to pull that stunt. The funny part of it is there is no marine headquar- ters here, but there is chief paymaster, and he is the man we want to see. l suppose he will assign us. No one is being sent up to the Army of Occupation now. so 1 don't know where we will go.
 The 14th was a holiday in hon. or of President Wilson, and to- day is Sunday, but maybe we'll find what they'll do with us to- morrow-any way we get paid, and We need it. There are six of us and no money much. 1 have not been paid since April. We are living at the Red Cross and at the Y and doing very well.

From label stickers 10 managers The
opportunity to become partners In the
business was eagerly seized by the en-
ployes.
So great was the demand for shares
from employees that the company set
aside sufficient stock TO take care OF
such employees as are In the army and

next few months.

Accordingly, the stock subscription
books were opened last May on the
following plan:
Each employe earning up 10 $50 a
week was allowed TO purchase one
share OF stock at It's par value 800 The
market quotation Is much above this.
