HAPPY NEW YEAR

The year 1921 is fast drawing to a
close. Favored indeed are we in this
land of plenty, and truly grateful
should we be when we draw aside
for one moment the curtain which
shuts from view during our lighter
moments the vast wilderness of sor-
row and suffering in other lands.
Here at home we have complained,
Justly perhaps, some of us, because
Fortune has not smiled upon us as we
felt she should. During the year
homes have been frightened by the
advent of baby voices; hearts have
been broken by the loss of loved ones;
fortunes have been made and lost:
homes have been wrecked and loved
ones reunited.
Particularly in the business world
has life seemed a struggle, not alone
during the year just closing, but for
the past three years. And yet, with
us, while we have not advanced as we
wished to, life still holds out wonder
full possibilities, and with our hun
dreds of friends to whom we send our
weekly message, we are still glad to
see the dawn of 1922.
Again we say: "a Happy New Year
to You"

THE ROMANCE OF MOONLIGHT

When the time comes that person
can not feel the loveliness Of moon
light, he may conclude he is growing
old To young people the soft and
hazy shadows of night illumined by
the moon have an irresistible appeal.
It is not necessarily dependent on
sentimental companionship. as the
scoffer may say. Youths with feeling
for the beautiful are so bewitched by
this aspect of nature that you can
hardly persuade them to go to bed.
and it seems sordid and wasteful to
think OF going into the house and
lighting up anything so artificial and
coarse as electricity.
Every generation Of young people
finds this new wonder in nature. The
world seems transformed by night into
a kind of ideal dreamland, when the
mistress of the heavens replaces the
brutal literalness of sunlight. The
night thus illumined becomes world
where all sadness has melted into
beauty, and all harsh contacts are
softened by some magic healing
touch.

Don't forget the weekly basketball
program which Is being carried out by

not been as large as was expected.
due to the fact that the holiday weeks

cerned. However, beginning with the
first week in January we expect all
four teams to have their men on the
floor each Tuesday and Thursday
evening. Several out-of-town teams
have been trying to arrange games
with a Delta town team. Let's get
busy and prove that Delta can take
the measure of any basketball team
which the Western Slope can produce.

THE LIONS MEET

By e. w. Cameron.
When each smile dwells little longer,
That's when the Lions meet.
Loyalty's our watchword wherever we
roam,
Loyalty to country. community, home,
Individual integrity in thought, word
and deed,
That's when the Lions meet.
Where English is spoken are Lions
Clubs too,
Each Lion to one flag will always be
be true,
That's why the Lions meet.
In profession and business our ethics
are high,
All real service does in sacrifice lie,
So do unto others as you would be
done by,
That's why the Lions meet.

MUCH woRk-LiTTLE NOISE

There are several things we like
about Secretary of the Treasury Mel
lon and chief Of these is that he never
shows signs Of trying to get into the
1ime-lfght. To use common express
sion, he is always ION the job" and
Saving wood" That is exactly the
kind of man needed in the Treasury
Department these days, for the nation
has enormous financial problems to
be solved. Conducting a treasury de-
partment is not spectacular under
taking and II a man undertook to use
It for spectacular purposes we would
feel uneasy. The sensationaIist in a
national treasury is as dangerous as
the sensational banker-we'd rather
put our trust elsewhere.
This inclination of Mr.. Mellon to
avoid publicity is nothing new with
him. and, therefore, it is the more
impressive. He was one of the most
successful financiers in the country
before he accepted a place in the
cabinet, and he attained that success
without the country at large ever hav-
ing heard of him. Apparently, stick
ing close to the job and saving wood
is lifetime habit-a habit that gives
an impression of stability and de-
pendability.
Another characteristic of Mellon
that we like is his advocacy OF econ
omy in government business. This is
probably also result of habit, for
few men become rich unless they
practice economy. One of the first
recommendations made by the new
Secretary of the Treasury was in ia.
vor Of rigid cutting OF national ex-
penditures as a prerequisite to the re.
duction Of federal taxes. Probably the
most difficult task of government is to
keep down expenses, for there is con
slant demand for funds from the pub
lie treasury.
1t Is generally understood that MI
Melons policies in conducting the
Treasury Department have been q
very important factor in bringing
Liberty Bonds back toward par. Al
the outset of his administration Mr.
Mellon announced q far-sighted pro
gram for the refunding of the short
dated debt. and with this program sue
cessfully launched there has been q
gradual Improvement in the market
position of Liberty Bonds and Victory
Notes. Decreasing rates Of interest
have also helped, and have made the
Liberty Bonds relatively better invest

HOW CARELESS BETTY
BECAME CAREFUL

(By Caroline Mangelsdorf Collins)
Never was there child so care.
less as Betty" thought Betty's mother
as she picked up from the lawn a
once-lovely hair-ribbon, now utterly
ruined by the rain of the night before
Betty was not only careless in the
ways losing her handkerchiefs, need
lessly scuffing new shoes and tearing
little frocks.
"Of course she doesn't realize that
these things cost money" mused her
mother, land yet she is not too young
to learn that they do" Then she con-
cluded that Betty could learn their
value in no better way than to earn
the money and pay for some of the
things herself. small ones at first,
more expensive ones as she grew
older.
That very day the opportunity pre-
sented itself, for Betty came running
home from kindergarten. flushed and
starry-eyed with the news that an
outdoor festival was to be held on
the school grounds and she was to be
one of a group Of fairies, "all dressed
in white with big bows of ribbon on
our hair" Then all at once Betty's
enthusiasm died as her eyes fell on
the bedraggled ribbon that her mother
had found on the lawn. Size remem-
bered having lost it the evening be.
fore, but she had been SO anxious to
play she had not stopped to pick it up
Sowly she looked at her mother. I'll
need a new one, Mother" she said
"Yes, you will need a new one," her
mother answered, "but suppose you
earn the money for it all by yourself y
Betty was delighted with the plan and
anxious to begin, and it was surprising
how many tasks mother found for her
to do. wisely paying only what she
considered the actual value of the
work to be. And incidentally Betty
learned that her work had to be well
done before she could be paid for 1t.
Dandelions dug out Of the lawn
brought number of pennies to Betty,
and going on errands was also re-
munerative. Then at dish-washing
time she wiped the silver and the
smaller pieces of china.
Eagerly Betty did some task each
an end in view. and proudly she
counted her pile Of pennies which
grew day by day.
Then ON the night before the festi-
val Mother and Betty went to shop
for the coveted ribbon which Betty
herself was to select. At her mothers
wise suggestion that fairies usually
dressed in very dainty colors, Betty
chose lovely pale blue ribbon.
How excited Betty was on the day
of the festival! And she looked truly
fairy-like in her dainty white costume,
while the ribbon, like huge butter
fly. adorned her hair.
That night as Mother was ready to
|. turn out the light after tucking her
little girl in bed, Betty suddenly
sprang up, calling. "Oh, wait just a
minute, Mother, l want to put away
my new ribbon. You know that cost
lot of money" And Mother smiled
happily. Betty was at least beginning
to learn the value Of her things.

This was not only fultillment of the
obligation of the government. which
the previous administration neglected,
but a fulfllment of an implied prom
Use of the Republican party. Like all
other holders of Liberty Bonds, We
approve the Mellon policy.
Some days ago Mr.. Mellon quietly
called down some federal employees
who were spending lot of their time
and energy trying to formulate public
opinion in ACCORDANCE with their ideas.
He intimated that their sole duty is
to enforce and administer the law,
leaving Congress and the public to
make the law. We like that policy,
also. Not so long ago it looked as
though propaganda had become the
chief purpose of government, and,
in propaganda, the government be-
came, in effect, a teacher of radical
ism. The fact is that money paid into
the treasury by all the people should
not be used to foster the ideas of part
of the people Mr.. Mellon is right
again.
In the few months he has been at
the head of the Treasury Department.
Mellon has demonstrated disposition
to attend closely to his duties and let
his record be judged by results with
out continually shouting his accom-
plishments from the housetops. 1t he
will keep that up, other people will

The Child AT Breakfast

Should be induced to eat more
breakfast food and more especially
the coarser kinds Of wheat foods that
can now be purchased at all grocery
stores. The coarse wheat foods are
more valuable to the child than are
the white wheat foods, because the
wheat kernel is made OF three parts,
the outer layer, the GERM and the
endosperm (of btarchy part). The
white wheat foods are made up of the
cndosperm, and the tat is found most
" in the GERM. while the mineral
matter is found mostly in the Bran or
outer layer. The coarser wheat foods
matter than the white wheat foods
do. The coarser wheat breakfasl
foods have, still other advantages over
the white or long processed milled
foods. One OF the yttamines essential
for growth and promotion OF good
health is found only in the outer lay
Ter and the GERM OF the WHEAT
Kernel. and is removed when milled
down to a point where the food Is per-
fectly white. The coarser wheat foods
also have q more laxative effect than
