In talking Of the railroad situation

the unjust. and as we fully believe,

In discussing market receipts, Sem

zone Of the most serious questions

that Of cOngested receipts In our

that stabilized receipts would go far
toward stabilizing prices. II Is be-
coming more and more apparent that
there Is an urgent need for some form
Of concerted action by which receipts
in our markets may be more evenly

would probably show that the heaviest
losses sustained by gtockmen are Oc-
casioned through our present isdis-
Greet system Of marketing.
Summarizing the problems which
are 90 be solved, we must first con-
tend for and secure an adjustment
Of railroad rates that will be based

New
Years Song

IN NEW YEARS EVE In England.
All In the olden day.
The children went a-carolinG.
All In the olden way;
And ever as they journey'd on,
This chorus would you hear:
God send you happy. God send you
happy.
Pray God send you a happy New Year,
Across the fields and meadows
And through the frosty light.
While starry eyes and starry skies
Illumed the wintry night.
The children caroled blithely on,
In chorus sweet and clear: 4,
God send you happy. God send you
happy.
Pray God send you a happy New Yearr'
Our days are sadly modern,
Our ways are modern. too;
But hearts still beat as high with love
As once they used to do
So take the oid-time message.
Good friends. both far and near:
God send you happy. God send you
happy.
Pray God send you a happy New Year,
Nora Archibald Smith.

reagts were considered occasions
when the spirits of good and evil were
In deadly conflict The moment Of
midnight on New Years Eve was al
ways considered a time Of special &C
tivity for the spirits of evil In order
to overcome them holier and more
powerful influences had to be invoked
The evil spirits, or genii as can be
gathered from the Icelandic and An
giO-Saxon folklore. ana even from
words in their dialect, could be over
come by an appeal to the good genii,
the hoghmen, or hillmen.
Probably imported from Italy was
the superstition that Oh New Years
Eve the "evn eye" was all the more
malignant. Then, too, there was
widespread practice Of the setting Of
mete or drynke by nights on the
benche to fede Allholde or Goblyn."
In some Of the dialogues Of the IA
nous medieval morality play, olives
and Pauper," we find mention Of this
and many other New Years customs
intended to counteract the activities
Of the forces Of evil.
Christmas Cheer Continued.
Perhaps what contributed most to
this general fear Of sinister influences
was the deep drinking among the peo-
pie, which continued almost uninter-
ruptedly from Christmas until New
Years day. Up to the Ninth century,
except In the Syrian and Ooptic
churches. New Years was not cele-
brated as q special feast day, but was
looked upon a. merely the octaye q
Christmas. Therefore the Christmas
cheer was continued throughout the
entire octave without abatement. II
hIckered up for the last time on New
Years day, as II clear from the one

Bestowing Gifts.
The custom Of bestowing gifts has
become so inextricably linked with the
New Years celebrations In Paris that
New Years day is still called the Jour
d'Estrennes. This custom seems to
have had its rise in the conduct Of the
mobiles Of the late Middle ages, who
were in the habit Of bestowing gifts
upon their sovereign Naturally the
ruler, not wishing to remain under OBJ
legations to them, returned the gift 10
a princely fashion. In England, how
ever, especially In the time Of Queen
Elizabeth, this custom became % bur
densome that II occasioned general
protest among the mobiles. Good
Queen Bess" was not slow TO indicate
Just what kind Of gifts she expected,
or rather enacted. She let II be
known also what consequences would
follow the Withholding Of the Jewels
and the silks which she looked for at
the hands Of her subjects. She was
90 niggardly IN her own gifts that We
can understand how the custom f0ll
into dIsuse and In the time Of George
" was abandoned.
The giving Of gifts was also very
common among the people On Christ
mas, and often on St Stephens day,
employers. parents and masters pre-
scented Christmas boxes b their d.
pendents. II was q form 6f Christ
mas charity. On New Years day,
however, gifts were exchanged be-
tween friends and acquaintances a. a
sign Of good win. This custom, per
haps, had its origin In the box which
was taken aboard every vessel that
sailed out Of port during the octave
Of Christmas and which was not to
be opened until the return Of the YES
sci. Contributions were to be dropped
into this box, large or small, according
as the day had been propitious or 9TH
erwise. The person to whom the con-
tents Of the box were given was sup
posed to have q mass said for the
mariners who had made the gift
Hence the name Of christmas boxes,"
which were given up to and including
New Years day. Each one Of these
days became known as boxing day"
