THE NEW YEAR

The New Year comes and the bells that rang out the old year and rang in the tokens of the good cheer with which nearly all people greeted twelve months called 1929.
 After al time is more state of mind that comes to us than fact of existence. Ensen says time is rela tive matter in other words there such thing as time. Time is principle of reckoning. To balance the apprehensons incident to the passing of year into another far old age is concerned have the great thought that entering into another per- iod wherein wisdom shall have been exalted and the lessons of experience more deeply impressed.
 We cannot enter into another year without taking mental invoice of ourselves The socalled New Year re- solution is springng up within the human breast de- termination to live economically, more sympathet caly with more poise and better work in whatever condition the resolution takes form That we do not a ways keep such resolutions for the whole year is not in itself wrong nor to be depored New Year resolution ha kept better than at a It is the one who gives no thought to the bettennent of his surroundings that misses the great signal point of New Year as an inst tuition.

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan., 2, R)- Franklin Roosevelt, during inaug- uration as Governor of New York, expressed the hope for an era of good feeling saying:
 we have passed through the struggle against old time political ideas anaginst antiquated conser- vatism as against the ignorance of ideas against antiquated conser- ious disagreements between legis- lative and executive branches of the government and as I head the declarations of both parties in asking the support of the peo- pie at the polls, I see little reason for further controversies of this kind"

kefutes Charge That Banks -- Seek Business Domination

Criticism directed at the banks in 'ecent years regarding their desire :o control and dominate business is 'pecifically answered by Joseph R. Xraus. vice president and executive manager of the Union Trust Com pany. Cleveland. in the current issue of Nations Business.
 Perhaps the most fruitful source of criticism of banks arises from their measures to protect their loans." says the banker. Out of these measures grow most of the comment that the banks squeeze business to death ter of fact. bank Is really interested in having a company prosperous That ought to be obvious. Banks prosper in community of prosper. ous commerce.
 "1n 1927. fully 82 per cent of the failures in the country were found to be due to faults of those failing.
 "Is 1t any wonder that bankers are interested in the character of the management of the companies to which loans have been extendedp Probably no other single factor ot risk-taking is as important. In many kinds of business. management rep resents much more than three-fourths of the banking and investment risk. Caution with respect to loan is the bankers obligation because the money he lends has been entrusted to his care by many depositors.
 Bankers usually get into the management of a company only when the previous management has been unsuccessful. and then only as a temporary measure.
 "The far-seeing banker is not in- terested in telling management how to operate its business. He has too many worries of his own to want the

 "The bankers contribution to the management of business is as spec- ialist in finance. He is an expert in furnishing money and it is that func- tion (which he properly fills.

BUTTER MARKET
FOR CALIFORNIA
IS LIMITLESS

That there is a imitless market
for Imperial Valley dairy products
and particularly butter and butter
fat is evident, according to Secre-
tary HAYS Of the chamber of com
mcrec, by the demand for California
butter which goes into foreign COM
mercc, 1t has long been conceded
that California and particularly
Southern California, could sell much
more domestic butter were it pro-
duced. But figures compiled by Sam
H. Greene, secretary of the Califor-
MIA Dairy Council, indicate that the
foreign demand for California but
ter is also strong.
None of this butter is sold on the
basis of price competition. 1t has
won, and holds. special market and
the batter of all the world has not
been able TO compete successfully
against it.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has Just issued its quar-
tcrly statement of butter exports
During the three month period the
entire United States exported 1897
76s pounds of butter. OF this
amount California exported 3,3l0
pounds through the port of San
Francisco alone.
IN April 10000 pounds of butter
were shipped to Peru alone. There
Is Il regular trade in California but
ter with Costa Rica. Guatemala,
Honduras. Panama. Salvador, Mex
leo, Dutch West Indies, Bolivia,
Chile, Columbia. Venezuela. China
and Japan. Even British India. with
an empire to draw upon, calls at
time for California butter.
This butter is packed in tins in
vacuum. the same package much
used in California during the sum
mer camping season. And the min
ing engineer, toiling far back in the
Andes mountains. the prosperous
trader. the trans-planted European
or North American, can purchase III
remote localities the same fine quail
ity of butter that is obtainable IL
every neighborhood store in Cali
fornia.
California pays to its do.ry farm
ers the highest price in the world
for butterfat and one reason why it
is able to do so is because the manu-
featuring division of the industry
has been able to create and hold
special markets for California dairy
products.
Hays states that there are $4,000
acres of alfalfa in Imperial Valley
but we are still unable to supply
enough feed to increase materially
the number of dairy cows. 1t is
probable. he states, that this fall
the chambers of commerce will make
concerted move urging land owners
to plant more alfalfa, which IS I'M
periai Valleys best and foremost
field crop. Already more than one
half our titled acres are in alfalfa,
but with the great demand for dairy
products and the high prices prevail
ing and which have prevailed for
butterfat, there is justification for
2 great increase in the alfalfa acre
age.

Passed, He Says

Reed Of Missouri, famous rs an ir-
reconcilable opponent Of the League
Of Nations. today made his long
awaited attack on the Kellogg treaty
to renounce war as IN instrument Of
national policy.
The Missourian declared that he
would have refrained from speaking
against the pact II IN interpretatiye
resolution or report had been brought
In. but that the failure to thus clearly
set forth American views made It
necessary for every senator to look
closely to ratification.
As he spoke Senator Reed had be-
fore him on an easel q large map Of
the world showing the British posses
sions and spheres Of interest In bright
red colorings.
what the nations OF the world
have not been able to accomplish in
all time" Reed declared, lis now pro-
posed to be done by the magic stroke
Of Mr.. Kellogg's pen.
"On the face Of 1t the treaty would
do away with all wars, but negotia-
tions had scarcely begun when Mr..
Kellogg began to admit exceptions.
Il wish to call your attention to
those exceptions 80 we can see what
Is left Of this treaty after we have
considered them"
