(Written for The Mail)
By JACK O'BRIEN

Miss Winsome may have gone on
her vacation
Martinez may have fallen through
''the shutes"
Alike for all his deep falications
Are racily described in column
"Toots."
The "Thirty-seven hundred" came
in leaking
The Thirteen twenty-six" arrived
quite lame
For these "big mogul's" Charley's
heart is aching
For good rail is he, and weeps for
"all, the same"
Ten gallon hated, booted, spurred
and happy
He writes a wicked roundup in
''The Mail"
And joyful is the news and even
"snappy''
When business is booming on the
rail.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

THE bells that ring out the old
year and ring in the new are
just the same ones that ring every
day in the year But somehow as
these chimes sound aloud, a new
thrill attaches to them. You seem
to feel the grandeur Of the NOM
ent, the solemnity of this lapse of
It is as if one for a moment had
a kind of detached place of observa-
tion, where he could observe the
procession of the seasons, the
march of time, and the sweep of
the universe as it swings along to
its distant and unknown goal. The
littlenesses of every day seem to
drop out of sight for moment,
and one feels the vastness of time
and eternity, and the significance
of the passing years.
That is, an imaginative person
can feel that way. To many of us,
whose noses are pressed hard
against the grindstone of labor, the
days all seem about alike. But
that is point of view that does not
help to gain clear vision.
Or to many of us who are full
of gaiety and search for pleasure,
the new year is just the beginning
of a lot more of good times. We
look forward with a thrill of ex-
pectation to all sorts of good for
tune that the new period of time
is to bring. That point of view has
its uses, as anyone who looks for
ward hopefully to the future and
always sees the brighter side of
the days to come, is bound to find
much joy.
Human nature expresses the
thought of the day by saying Hap
py New Year" But happiness is
not brought by good fortune that
comes without effort 1t comes be-
cause we learn how to work for
it and how to find it in the eircum-
stances surrounding us. So the old
custom of New Year resolves had
sound logic in it. Let us resolve to
make it year of loyal effort for
God and country, our home COM
munity and all whom we love.

LOOKING BACK TO 1926

IN America the year 1925 has been
a rather quiet one There have
been no startling public movements.
We inaugurated president in
March, but his policy has dwelt on
economy and efficiency more than
on the passage of new laws. Con-
gress, which usually works through
a good part of the spring and sum-
mer, was allowed to stay at home.
and has only just assembled. The
lower house thereof has just pass
ed a new income tax reduction law,
which some will say was the most
notable event of the year.
A gradual improvement of the
business situation, and the cam
paign of Vice-President Dawes for
limitation of debate in the senate
have been two features of interest
In the industrial world the anthra-
cite coal strike has been very
disturbing factor, and probably the
most sensational event of the year
While America has passed 1926
rather quietly, the developments in
Europe have been of the most his
toric Importance. 1t did not seem
up to the past year, as if the war
were really over at ALL The ma
tions shook their fists across their
boundaries, and it seemed as ii

LESSONS FROM CIRCULAR
ADVERTISING

A DVERTISING by mail might be
called a kind of experimental
laboratory in which the value Of
advertising is tested out 1t would
of course cost the average retail
business a great deal more to cir
cularize community, than to print
it's message in the newspapers, but
at least business people who sell
by mail learn what very essen
tial thing advertising is.
For instance, concerns that de-
pend entirely on circulars sent
through the mail to sell their stuff
would usually say that their busi-
ness rose and fell to an amazing
degree, according to whether they
sent out these circulars regularly
or not. If they sent out such cir
culars once in three months, they
would be likely to find that the or
ders they received in the month
after circulars were sent out, would
be five of ten times as many as they
got in month when they did not
use any circulars.
If all these customers acted log
ically, and bought goods just when
they were needed and at the place
that seemed best after investigation
they would naturally buy about as
many in the months when no cir

Fat cattle were quoted strong to
25 cents higher; calves were so
cents up and stockers and feeders

remained rather dull Chicago's S
trade territory is we'll supplied
with cattle on feed and shipments
from western markets territory

Chicago and all the other markets.
Cows and heifers were in active
demand at Is to Is cents higher

calves were so cents higher. Num-

odd lots at $11. Bulls were strong

form of a luncheon, date and program
to be announced later, to which only
members of the league will be invited.
Several interesting speakers will adj
dress the league at that time. Mrs.
futile, who has been trying to arrange
a visit by the league to the superior
court in Tombstone in connection with
the study of the judiciary, has received
the following letter from Judge Albert
NJ Sames:
my Dear Mrs. futile;

your letter of the End inst. relative to
an early opportunity for the members
of the Douglas League of Women Vo-
tiers to attend jury trial in the SUI
perior court here.

ment of the criminal jury term fol-
lowing the visit of the ladies of the
league at the court house early in the
summer, | endeavored to communicate
with you by telephone relative to some
cases then set for trial which 1 thought
would afford you some interest, but
was informed that you were out Of
town at that time.
"The jury here was discharged Thurs
day last after session of some three
weeks Of civil jury trials. All of the
criminal cases had been disposed of
without trial or went over to Febru-
airy, when the next jury will be sum-
moned, at which time some important
cases will be tried. 1t is probable that
the procedure in a criminal case viii
prove more interesting on first visit
to the court, when the impaneling of
the jury, the offering Of evidence and
the arguments of counsel, and the sub
mission of the case may be completed
in day or two.
Il will be pleased and will make a
point to advise you sufficiently in adj
vance of the setting of cases for the
next jury, and trust that number Of
your ladies may be able to attend a
session of the court when a case of
interesting features is being tried here,
and 1 am sure that in connection with
the work of the league and otherwise
the experience will be found worth
while"

On Friday morning at the home of
group leader, Mrs j. L. Hastings,
very interesting meeting was held. The
subject was the different types of local
government for larger districts than
cities in the United States. Miss Yer
ma Fenton teacher of civics in the
Douglas schools, addressed the women.
Miss Fenton gave a very interesting
resume of the causes for the diversi-
fled types of local government at pres
ent existing in the United States, lay
ing stress on the difference between
township government which prevails
in the New England states and the
county form of the southern and west
ern states She traced the geographical
and historical sources of the different
types of local government in most
interesting manner, thereby carrying
out the wishes of the group leader in
creating a historical background for
the winter study of the local county
government Miss Fentons help was
greatly appreciated by the IA women
present. At the end of the meeting
Mrs. Hastings announced that the next
group meeting would be held early in

and county judiciary would be taken
