over the years that have gone, sim
gle out mistakes that have been
made, and then resolve not to make
the same mistakes again.
Despite the fact that there is a
lot of misery in the world, if we
could corral it, drive it all into one
big bunch, and then take note of
it. But fortunately there is happi-
ness enough to overbalance it, and
where we find one case of misery
we find dozen cases Of happiness.
There isn't actual want, or priva-
ton, or heart-rending cases of neg
lect in Winnemucca. and we know
of no such cases in the community
surrounding. But with all this
there is still more happiness to be
had than we have experienced dur
ing the past year if we will but
make up our minds now, as we
start a new year, to search for it.
Hunting for happiness is just like
hunting for anything else-the
harder you hunt the more apt you
are to find it. 1t isn't going to
come to you, unless you cultivate
the habit of carrying it to Others.
Why not make one big, whole
some resolution for the year--make
it broad and then stick to it? And
why not let that resolution be that
you will do at least one kindly act
toward a relative, a neighbor, a
friend, or even stranger who may
be in our midst, every day during
the entire year. This doesn't mean
you will have to dig into your
pocket for a present every day. 1t
doesn't mean you'll have to neglect
your business. For no matter where
you are you can find time to do
something that will make someone
smile, that will make someone's
heart happy for a passing moment
and that is as kindly an act as
anyone can ever do.

THE YEAR


The year 1922 will be war year,
although the warfare will not be of
the sanguinary sort. 1t is to see
envy and malice in a combat with
wholesome ideals. Right and wrong
wherever they exist in conflict are
going to be opposed in the SUI
premest test of all time. The year
will be marked by what we are
peased to term, peaceful combat. "
1t should not be otherwise.
It requires no seer to sense the
actions that impend. Political, So
cial and economic struggles are out
lined on the horizon for the think
ing man and out of it all must
come improved conditions for hui
manity.
The great war was not fought in
vain. From the holocaust that ex-
acted its millions of humanity great
compensations must come. This is
an immutable natural law.
Signs are not lacking that the
inevitable good that comes from
tremendous sacrifice is to come into
full bloom within the new year.
Men will return to constructive
pursuits as they seek to restore a
sane order of things. Individual
industry will be re-nivoked and po-
tentialities will be converted into
actualities. The trend to the urban.
SO marked in recent years, will
give way to the trend to the rural.
Life will be made more bearable,
mayhays even to the point of ac-
tual happiness and enjoyment.
The striving of the individual is
today being directed by wise politi-
cal leaders and mandates have been
laid down which are easy of analy-
sis. They purpose complete re-
turn to the normal and sane. Pro-
found statesmen are engrossed in
the direction of the population of
this great republic, which is moth
ing mere or less than a great COM
posite individual.
Changes we shall see during the
New Year. The sensibilities of
humankind have been talloused BY
happenings Of the past few years
and stoicism alone combined with
fortitude to Withstand the exactions
of the period. Yet the hardened
human exterior Of the present mo-
ment is to be softened, and glad
dened, by the manifold benefac-
tons held out by 1922.
The New Year dawns full of
promise for the people of the world.

CURE FOR
SNORING

We have just read in an eastern
paper a remedy for snoring. The
writer says this remedy consists
solely in sleeping without a pillow.
He doesn't explain why that will
cure snoring, and neither does he
guarantee it to do so. But he. offers
the advice, and hopes it will be
helpful to the good wife who says
her husband SHORES so much that
she can't sleep in the same room
with him.
Snoring is a sort of confidential
affair. At least it is seldom in
dulged in in public. But the truth
is it is so prevalent hardly q home
can be found in which snoring does
not play part in the domestic
felicity--or infelicity.
And still you can't find man
or woman in all Winnemucca who
win openly admit they snore in
their sleep. No one is conscious
of it, of course, for he is asleep a,
the time, and in his waking hour.

that he has almost raised tn.
