Different peoples have selected different start Ing points and have also assumed the year to be of slightly different lengths.

It Is as though a clock had half a dozen or more hands all moving around the dial from different starting points.

kES&ASlE man arrives at when he ! E9AeE thinks of the new year Is ISWINSl that he will turn over a lAAAb new leaf, observes Laura
 Jean Libbey. If he's single he resolves that he'll cut loose from the companions he has had-the jolly fellows who are not just what they ought to be. He makes up his mind that he'll quit turning night into day, larking around until the wee sma' hours and attempting to work the next day. He makes up his mind he'll save money. Instead of going out with the boys he'll hunt up the nice girls whom he knows and spend his eve nings with them. From the many he will choose one girl who shall be nearer and dearer yet than all others. He thinks he has had quite enough of bachelor life-in fact that he'll marry and settle down.
 The married mans thoughts ara along quite a different line He makes up his mind to cut down the number of clubs to which he belongs and give his wife the new cloak she has been pining for. He will forego the stag rackets that he has been accustomed to join in, telling his wife that he's been to a prayer meeting. He con- cludes to give his wife a little more pleasure in the way of outings, and to pay her pretty compliments to keep her heart from whitening alto gether. He'll cease sneering when she speaks of her relatives and refrain from treating them shabbily when they pay her a visit.
 The father-in-law's thoughts take a different turn. After long and serious thought on the subject, he concludes that he will shut his eyes to his son. in-law's peccadilloes, give him a help ing hand instead of grumbling at the manner in which he Is keeping his daughter; that he'll not take sides with either when a family row Is on.
 The free lance concludes to cross off all the married from his calling list, and to turn his attention to the women who are heart whole and fancy free.
 The conductor on the trolley car concludes that he will begin the new year by stopping at just the corner that people want to get off at so that he may gain the thanks of the trav- elers instead of the upbraidings of irate passengers who are obliged to walk many blocks back.
 The rounder who depends on the lunch counter for his daily fare con- cludes that he will accept Job from any man who is inclined to give him a square deal. The gambler thinks he will turn his attention from the tricks of his trade because gambling Is pro- hibited in his state He thinks he may pick up a nimble penny by becoming a rOusing revivalist-chasing the deIl round the stump. The milkman con- cludes not to stop at the town pump for drink, the dashing chauffeur con- cludes to put his name and address in his Identification book when he goes joy riding.
 But do you think that these men will keep these resolves? It Is a good thing to hope.

New Year festivities, adding couple of Christmas celebrations for good measure" according to bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic society
 "Our American might start his pro- gressive holiday jaunt by going to some western European country for the approaching New Year which the United States too will celebrate. He could then travel to Greece, Jugo- Slavia, Rumania, or Bulgaria in time for Christmas in those countries. Christmas is also December 25 in the countries named, according to their calendars, but corresponds to January ' in America.
 By remaining a week in the same country he could also spend New Year Day, called January 1, but cor responding with the American and western European January 14. By pushing on and making good connec- tions he might be able to reach Singa- pore, or by supplementing steamers with airplanes could reach China It.

MIR. Carson Replies to Mr.. Eastman.

Iron County Register-Mr. East
man has made it as ''clear as mud"
why he should have 10 cents for a 12'
or. loaf of bread when st. Louis gro
Gerry men are selling and delivering all
over the city a 20-oz. loaf for 10c. 1t is
not difficult to prove anything from
incorrectpremises. / have had weigh
ed, that is | have had local merchants
to weigh for me, as many as u doz-
en- loaves of Mr.. Eastman's bread, not
one of them weighing IA IL ounces,
whaNha says his loaf weighs, most OF
them weighing a scant 10 ounces, in
GLIDING wrapper and string. Mr..
Eastman says he delivers his bread
whereas the st. Lonis baker does not.
Here Is where Mr.. Eastman is off
again. All the st. Louis bakeries de-
liver their bread. / am giving Mr..
Eastman all the advantage in a COM
parison. / am giving the retail prices
from the retail grocerymen, who
make a second delivery, two deliver
les against Mr.. Eastman's one, that is
the delivery of the baker to the gro
Ger, and then the grocer's delivery to
the customer. MIR Eastman says that
1 know "nothing, absolutely moth
ing' about the cost of making a loaf
of bread; here he is off again. The
cost of every ingrediept,a as we'll as the
cost of baking a loaf Of bread, is as
accessible to me as it is to Mr. East
man. Recent experiments made in
my own home have disclosed that a
l2-oz!. loaf Of bread can be made and
sold for 5 cents-tbis is confirmed by
a st. Louis man who is making and
selling it at this price-and 1 know
this man we'll enough to know that he
does not make or sell anything with
out a profit. Since Mr.. Eastman ig-
nores the cut in prices given by our
other trades people and speaks rather
contemptuonsly of my knowledge of
the cost of making bread, and resents
my kindly solicitation that he furnish
US with that which we must have at a
living price. I am going to give the
people of Ironton a ocular demon
stration of the comparative size of his
10-ct. loaf of bread and the 10-ct. loaf
that is being furnished to the people Of
st. Louis; that is if I can get permits
sion from one of u merchants to
make such in his window. And / be-
lieve l will be able 10 convince the
| readers of the REGISTER, if not Mr..
Eastman, that if I do "kick" 1 do not
go off haif-cocked. Until Mr.. East
mans position is less pregnable he
will do we'll to initiate the ex-
ample of "Brer Fox" in "Uucle Re-
mus" che lay low" I am laying
aside my nom de guerre. I think
when Mr.. Eastman knows who 81
Kick" is he will know that 81 Kick
is not some one writing in resentment
or spite. Mr.. Eastman knows that
have nothing against him personally
and would not for anything do him
any malicious injury. l want him tt
stay with us and continue TO make III
bread, but give us a little "shade" OIL
psesent prices, because l think he cal
do it and because / think we are emit
