Walter Raleigh is generairy credits

The Pilgrim Fathers and the
first families of the older states of
the union enjoyed a quiet holiday
as each year came around They
Toasted, but not until they had at
tended religious services. In the
nineteenth century people with big
houses and flowing sideboards held
open house on New Years day and
from all over friends came afoot,
on bicycles and Gin surveys and
stanhopes to pay short visits and
sample the contents of wine cellars.
Then they went off to call on other
friends. Popular maidens in those
days Witnessed traffic jams in
front of their homes, so prevalent
was the pencnant FOR short calls on
young women during the after
noon of the years first day. This
custom began to pass out quietly
with the dawn of the twentieth
century, automobiles. and cabarets.
1t was succeeded by nothing bur
wine" habits amid thousands who
frequented cafes and grill rooms In
the cities on New Years eve.
For twenty live years up to the
dawn of 1920 and the era of war
time prohibition, the celebration in
New York became, noisier and more
expensive each year. Thousands
used to crowd into places of merri-
ment while. Broadway was packed
with n surging throng of merry
makers with squawkers, clappers,
bells, ticklers and confetti.
Hotels damned With Diners.
Every hotel and most of the
restaurants were jammed with gay
diners. In 1908 it was estimated
that 100000 was spent in the
whitelight district on New Years
eve. After that statisticians gave
up trying to figure out the sum.
The din and probably the cost of
the celebration was greatly dimin-
ished under wartime prohibition
in the New Years demonstration
of 1920, Old timers said all the
ginger" had departed with John
Rarleycorn.
The cupid of 1921 will be the
first to make his bow under con-
stitutional prohibition. Tn New
York he win find that times have
changed.

EMP0RIA CITY JAIL
Is WELL PATR0NlZED

EmpOria, Kans., Dec, 3I.-IHt
city jail here is becoming popular
as a "hotel," judging from the lib
eral patronage It is receiving. Dur
ing the recent cold spell, not a
night passed by that the Jail har-
bored less than ten to a dozen
transients, lodging free. The APP
plicants all have practically the
same story-that they are out Of
work and cash, and are migrat-
ing westward and southwark in
hope of finding employment. 1t is
seldom the Jail ever has a prison
er, and the city commissioners
have ordered that it be used as a
free lodging house" this winter.

PUSH ALONG GOOD WORK
SOUTH BEND FARM BUREAU
UNIT MEETING
Discussion Of Timely Topics
Was Interesting Feature of
The Session

An interesting and instructive meet
ing was held at the Spring Island
school house Friday evening. Febr-
uary IL, by the South Bend unit Of
the Blue Earth. County Farm bureau.
The meeting was called to order by
the chairman of the unit, Mr.. Arthur
Mitchell, who in his opening remarks
discussed the financial conditions Of
the country and their effect on the
farming business. He also dwelt at
short length on the evils of grain
pending legislation designed to de-
stroy the dairy industry by allowing
unfair competitions and he empha-
sized the part the Farm bureau is
taking to correct these evils. He
then introduced the county agent, L..
e. Mcmillan and the audience was
given a very clear idea of what the
Farm Rureau Federation stands for
and what 1t is doing. Mr.. Mcmillan
explained the workings Of the state
and national organizations and en-
phasized the fact that the farm bu-
reau Is not political machine In any
sense of the word, but an organiza-
ton which strives to correct and i'm
enoe to bear on those who are respon-
sible for the framing and passing Of
the state and federal laws. He also
brought out many valuable points
whereby the farmer could profit by
the local and county units and said
that the farm bureau at all times aim
ed to encourage CO. operative buying
and selling associations.
Hulce Gave Out Food For Thought
The last speaker on the program
was w. w. Hulce, cashier of the
Farmers State bank of Rapidan, who
with fund Of jokes and good stories
interspersed with chunks of food for
thought and real advice, entertained
the crowd for few minutes. The
remainder Of the evening was spent in
a free -for- all discussion of the diff
ferent projects which could be taken
up In the township for improving
conditions and increasing incomes. It
was found that the greatest source
of income was the dairy industry,
other important ones being poultry
raising and fruit growing. It was de-
cided. that one important project to
be taken up during the coming year
would be campaign for the elimina-
ton of the poor producing cows and
the improvement of the dairy herds
by the use Of pure bred sires. Poul-
try culling and spraying demonstra.
lions were also planned on for the
coming summer. After the adjourn
ment of the meeting seven new mem
bers were added to the ever increas-
ing rolls Of the Farm Bureau Fedora
