The New Year
~ HE year that has just closed
W means something different

~ HE year that has just closed
W means something different
to most everybody. TO
some 1t has brought II grcnt
JOY; to others Il great sorrow; to
many, both grief and gladneSs IN
full measure. Many Of us have
gone along the regular, unevent-
fuI path, filed with the happiness
of love and work and the JOY OF
everyday things, which. after all,
Is the best happiness.
To youth the New Year means
a long, plcusurc-tlIlcd evening and
the writing Of Il new dutc on their
letters. They look neither for
ward nor back. They make reSo-
lutionS because 1t seems the cor
rect thing to them to do. They
keep them sometimes and 1t helps
make them better men and women,

COOPERATION IN THE PROOUC-
TON, STANDARDIZATION AND
MARKETING OF FARM F3OO-
UCTS.

1t Is recognized that farmers reed
and should have a larger share OF the
consumers dollar paid for farm pro-
ducts. TO get this farmers need to
nay more attention to uniformity in
production. to proper standardiZh ion
of products. ard to orderly distribu-
ton Of products. These things can DO
accomplished only by cooperation
through organization. The individual
farmer is seldom able to make salts
factory market connection. Therefore
farmers arc urged:
(a) TO perfect community orRaniza.
tions for uniform production through
the adoption Of standard varieties,
standard containers. standard grades

The NEW POLICY WORKS

MORE than once it has happened that the
A'l German efforts to approach an issue by
side door have resulted in decisive settle
ment right at the main entrance. Had the
Berlin Government not besought American
intervention In the reparations question 1t
is at least conceivable that the United States
might have remained for while longer out
side the councils Of Europe. As II was, the
plea, So crisply denied by Secretary Hughes.
led to consequences exactly the reverse Of
those on which German hopes were pinned.
For without depreciating the frmness and
unity OF the Allies ns revealed in the final
ultimatum, 1t can hardly be doubted that
the renewed participation of the United
States in European affairs has exercised
sobering effect upon Berlin. Chancellor
Wirth's analysis Of the significance OF
acceding to the Allies demands is in a sense
a kind Of leave taking Of delusion.
1T would be useless" declared the new
Prime Minister, ito say yes without the
resolution to do our utmost TO meet the
obligations imposed upon u.s." This means
among other things that the conception Of
the Knox resolution as an asset to Germany
has perceptibly shrunk
II means that Germany is beginning TO
realize that America has not forgotten why
she took up arms nor what principles are
involved in the peace. II means that Pres
, ident Harding and Secretary Hughes are
developing policy which Germany can
misinterpret only at the cost of disaster.
American sentiment In general was op.
posed TO a French invasion Of the Ruhr
district But It was equally averse to Ger
man shilly shallying and pleas in avoidance.

still confront the peacemakers. without
boasting, however, It must be admitted that
