THE fight made in Louisa to &C
quire the State Normal School is not
to be counted as an entire loss. Prob
ably it is worth all it cost in time, eff
fort and money if we shall profit by
the result of the tests made along
several lines. For instance,
The fight proved that Louisa can
do things on big scale through CO.
operation. In this case there was CO.
operation to the extent of 95 per cent
or more. The 4 or per cent who
were disloyal to Louisa's interests
stand out notoriously; in fact, more
noticeably than the 95 or SO per cent
The fight shows that Louisa can
provide for her needs in the way of
school facilities, regardless of out,
side help. tAll we need is the vision
and the spirit of execution. re-.
The results achieved prove that
Louisa could start enterprises of va
rious kinds that are needed to EN-.
ploy labor and to make the town what
It ought to be from business stand
point. Cooperation and spirit of
progress are the elements needed; a
vision broad enough to see the ulti-
mate benefits of liberal Investment
In schools. factories and various en-
terprises necessary to real town.
Louisa should take new courage
from her success in financing a prop
osition that required $4,000 to be
raised. 100000 of which was to be
contributed to school. There are
many other opportunities. Louisa is
well situated. What we need is to
open our eyes and get busy.

ANIMALS AND NEW YEARS DAY
Oxen, Cows, Sheep, Goats and Pigs
Blessed in Churches of Italy,
Spain and France.

TN ITALY, Spain and France more is
= made of New Years day than
Christmas and on st. Sylvester's eve as
the last day Of the year is called the
utmost joyousness prevails. Even the
animals are blessed in the churches.
A correspondent who attended one of
these quaint ceremonies, writes:
The priest lifted high the host and
said some words of benediction at
which the people fell on their knees
with a response. An acolyte with a
holy-water sprinkler passed through
the columns of animals deftly throw
ing the sacred water upon them. The
oxen and cows were thus blessed first,
then the sheep and goats and lastly
the pigs. A Don nearly full glittered
high above the mountain stones and
combined with the light from the can

and heaving sides ano sleek coats Of

HOW JAPAN GREETS NEW YEAR
Custom of Oriental Countries Is to
Give Special Performances in
the Play Houses.

THE Oriental methods Of greeting
- the New Year differ greatly from
ours. In Japan, as well as in other
Oriental countries, special perform
ance are given in the theaters.
In the temples and shrines priests
and attendants entertain the people
with Special dances. The Kagura, or
Sacred Dance With Music, is the ia.
%vorite, for while it Is being given
prayers are offered for the continued
happiness of the nation during the
coming year. This very old dance is
performed by young girls, while the
priests are the musicians. All are in
appropriate costume.
Another ceremonial, which has been
handed down for centuries, Is the Shu-
Sal, or Dance of the Ancestral Sane
tuary. This is given within the palace
by the imperial family on January 3,
and 1t celebrates the founding of the
imperial house, centuries ago.

the oxen and cows and the white
woolly skins of the sheep. The acolyte
passing among them, incensed them
and their believing, bleating and
squealing arose to "a tumult. But, high
above all, the voice of the priest was
heard, as he chanted these words:
My children, God il his goodness
sends me, his unworthy servant, here
10 bless your tlocks, according to an
ancient custom of our mountains, so
that these animals by whose aid you
live may join in our religious cere-
monies which usher in the New Year.
Let us then sing a loud hosanna of
praise to the ever-merciful Lord so
lenient to sinners"

LERE we stand again on the
borderland of Welcome and
Good-by. There is so little be-
tween them and so much either
side of them.
When the great bell of time
strikes the midnight hour, and
1922 passes into the land of long
ago, there is one simple resolu-
tion that we can all make with
pretty good surety that we can
keep it till the next midnight
rchimes-that we will be a better
man or woman in the next year
than in the last.
That won't be a hard resolution
to fulfill in some degree, and If
everyone is vel a little better,
there will be a heap more good
ness, kindness, success and love
in the world when 1923 rings out
that there Is now.
The untried year brings with ii
another chance for ala chance
to make good where We have
failed-a chance to benefit by
What we have counted as failures
in the year that is passing out.
The old year has been a difficult
one for many. Some have lost
heart. The new year, which gives
promise of so much that is better,
will bring new courage and hope
to them.
If we can let. the unhappy part
of the past year go with it, anG
only remember the good, it will
help toward all that is best in the
new.
One Of the best things that we
car hope for the dntried year is
that 1t will be a busy one for
everybody. Work is the best pro-
moter of goodness and happiness,
and the best cure for trouble and
sorrow that there Is.
When the solemn, happy bells
ring out acros the snow" let
them ring out with them the bad
things and ring in all that is good
and true and beautiful that is
within the power of each one
of us.

YOUR LITTLE NEW YEAR"
BY MARTHA 3. THOMAS

aTHE Little New Year is a
very eager youngster. He
pops into view overnight; in
fact, one seconds difference is
the margin between his being
nothing at all and then appear
ing as something very definite
to reckon with. From the min.
ute he claps his eyes on you, he
belongs; he is your Little New
Year. and you've got to decide
pretty quickly what to do with
him. There is no possible way
of escaping this p%arenthood.
He's going to stick to you like
a burr for 800 days, every min
ute, every hour. It's really quite
alarming.
Are you going to bring up the
little fellow on UNDERGONE resolu-
tions2
Are you going to make him a
present of malnutrition by feed
ing him on irregular meals of
, procrastination?
Are you going to ruin his char
acter (and maybe your OWN by
rows and rows of pleasant ibs
to prevent a feeling of discom-
fort about his growing up into a
!, harum-scarum boy? Like human
children, he needs watching and
guiding and discipline. You'll
never have the opportunity of
raising this particular lad
again. He will slip from your
fingers on the night of December

grown into whatever manhood
you've permitted him.

sturdy fellowl

A NEW YEARS CARD

Now what is here
A word of cheer
To herald in another year;
May all its days be free of blame
A little nobler han your aim;
May all its labors he contest
A little better than your best.
And all the joys within its scope
A little brighter than your hope;
And may each year be found, when past,
A little dearer than the last.
