VOW to refrain from indulgence in
strong drink for whole year.
The practice of beginning the new
year with good resolutions, however.
is very. very old. The custom goes
back to the beginnings of recorded his
tory and was common TO many peoples
Time was when the New Years
resolution was q solemn affair. marked
by elaborate religious ceremonies. For
example, the japanese 300 years be-
fore Christ, made much of the day. All
outstanding accounts and debts were
cleared away, all enmities were ended
under penalty of the law. The dwell
ing house was swept and garnished;
old furniture and old clothing were
cast away In exchange for new in the
belief that the assumption Of new
conscience was complete only with the
body.
BY contemporary peoples was the
New Year day regarded as time of sol
emn remuneration of all follies and an
amendment for the future. In the days
of the Pharaohs the Egyptians SYM
bolized their publication with elabor-
ate baths and fasting; the Persians
and Phoenicians greeted the New Year
with prayer to the heather images and
with fiagellations.
With the passing of the centuries old
New Years vows have lost their for
NAL character Turning over a new
leaf Is now matter of individual
and not national concern. Swearing
off, is even favorite jest with the
humOrist and cartOOnist
Nevertheless. the modern man is
more sensitive to the appeal of the
New Year than he shows in public |
What makes the New Year Is the new
ness of life that human nature brings |
into it. 1t is New Year to everybody |
according as everybody tries to live
over again, and pushes forward and |
turns plan to action and discourage
ment 10 hope. People rely too much
ON resolutions to make year new.

PLAN MADE BY THE N0NPARTY
County Organizations to Be Perfected
BY the leaguers.

st. Paul. December 12.-Plans for
establishment of county organizations
of the Nonpartisan league, presaging
the entrance of the league into coun-
ty politics, were approved by the ma
tional committee of the league meet
ing here today.
The Nonpartisa9 leagIo has been
active in state politics in Northwest
ern states, but never has taken part
in county politics as an organization.
The county organization plan adopt
ed today was regarded as preparing
for league tickets OIL" concerted ac-
ton on candidates presented by
other parties or interests in county
elections.
The comm: ittee also considered to-
day plans for the development OF
national auxiliary of women to the
Nonpartisan league, modelled after
the wCmen's auxiliary of North Da-
kota
The plan for county organizations,
presented by-President A. c. Town
ley. was approved by the national
committee.
Under the new organization, So OF
the SIC paid annually by the farmers

81 TO the state organization and 81
TO the national. For this 81 the ma
tional organization will furnish the
state and national newspapers to the
members of the league and will pro.
vide speakers for organization work.
The new plan will provide very
considerable fund for local CAM
paigns, and it was predicted by the
delegates that county tickets would
be placed in the field in many eoun :
ties in Minnesota and The Dakotas.
Whether the county organization is
TO enter local politics will be deter
mined by the committee in each
county.
