system, but three sand boxes for small
children have been eliminated, as

New Years Meditations
(By VIM. T. Patrick, Jr.)

| wish that my resolutions for the New Year,
Dear Lord, will reach Thy understanding ear
OnThy Lofty throne high above the earth,
Far from the evils o. wild fun and mirth.
And hope Thou will aid me as much as Thou may,
To obey these resolutions made on New Years Day.
First, desire to give more than receive;
For this is what Thou taught me to believe,
AT the church where every Sabbath morn was sent:
1t is now that realize what those lessons meant
And Dear Heavenly Father, do hear me say
That I'll keep these resolutions made on New Years
Day.
There many other things that l resolve to do
To be honest, trustworthy, clean, and true;
And to obey parents that their days may be long
And to be able to distinguish right from wrong.
With all my heart promise Thee to keep always
These resolutions made on New Years Day.
AS sit here scanning the cold gray skies,
1t seems as if catch the CLEAN Of Thine eyes;
1t appears that Thou art answering my prayer,
Ffum high up in heaven your golden chair,
And as the wind ceases blowing, I can family hear
you say,
That Thou will teach to follow these resolutions
made New Years Day

DRIVING

Winter produces a crop Of ac-
cidents from causes and condi-
tions peculiar to the season.
Thousands of accidents are due
to skidding, which in turn results
from failure by many motorists to
allow for the slippery conditions
OF the streets.
Good brakes, sound tires anu
chains are insurance-but maxi
mum care and speed suited to the
conditions are the only certain
guarantees against this type of
motor mishap.
We have every winter a large
group of accidents due to refusal
of motorists TO make allowance f I
poor visibility. Clean windshields
properly adjusted headlights and d
concious effort by motorists &c
allow themselves more time and d
liesurely pace would do away with
most of these accidents.
The main thing to do about driv-
ing In slippery weather Is just
what we do about walking in slip
perry weather. We are all pretty
careful about that. The first thing
we do when we go out on a slippery

G. B. Y.-DO you think we will
be successful In paying for what
we have bought.
Ans: You'll surely have to do
some close living during the next
few months to keep up on the pay
ments on the furniture and linens
you bought advise you not to
even consider buying a car until
you have this debt ENTIRELY
/ CLEARED UP.
/ :. A.-DO you think should
stay where l am now?
Ans: No-You would benefit in
more ways than one to move and
it is my impression that PHOENIX
ARIZONA will be your next loca-
ton. An opportunity will come to
you the first OF next year, to make
this change.
Ii. l.. Al marry do you
think I will have any trouble?
. Ans: If you marry, it will be
rather difficult for you to get your
BABY BACK WITH you, there
fore, you should bring it back
home before you think about mar
lying Your baby is better off at
present, where it is and you
should leave it there awhile long
err.
Ii. c. loaned man fifty cents
and l want to know II he Is going
to pay 1t hack to me?
4 Ans: Several times in the past
you have loaned this man money,
and he always pays you back
promptly so don't feel so had to-
ward him for letting it slip his
mind this time-He promised
faithfully that he would pay you
lack and you can TAKE HIS
WORD FOR 1T.
Il. L. RI would like to figure
out some way TO make living
next year and l believe you can
help me?
Ans: During the year OF 1896
you'll make your living FARM
ING-The farm your uncle owns is
just idle now, and he would be
more than glad for you to move
out there and keep the place up
The soil there is very fertile, and
you'll have no trouble raising a
GOOD CROP.
f. F.-WOuld II he safe for me
to keep on working for this
woman!

to KEEP WORKING than it would
be to give up your job. The woman
you are working for doesn't blame
you for the disappearance of the
pieces Of fur that she can't find,
so don't let this cause you to give
up your job She knows she just
mislaid them but can't figure out
