A new year is ushered in and its span of life is run. Associations are formed beautiful friendwhips and then comes the parting, the passing on, and the coming of the new. So it is with life. We are born,-and in the springtime we plan and build for the future. Then comes the summer sum-mer of life, when we are watching the beauty that surrounds us and wondering if the harvest will be all that we hope for. Then the after- nocftfifeTorTn! realized or shattered. W e cannot go back and plant anew ; we must harvest what we have sown, and then by that harvest we will be judged. And then comes the evening of life, or winter, when we look back over a profitable or unprofitable life and review, just as we do today, the things that have taken place the worth-while and the failures. And by this record we will be judged. "So the year ends, just like a life ends. A year seems. jhorkja. life is short and we must crowd a lot into that life if we expect to leave for posterity something that will make the world a littfle better. bet-ter. If we are going to leave behind pleasant memories, we must of necessity render some service to humanity." As the year is brought to a elose,- another take its place, and we go on planning Just as vigirously,as of old.. -This gives. us.a beautiful beau-tiful thought that life does not end at the grave. If all our hopes and ambitions were centered in one year there would "be little in the with life; if we lived with the idea that everything was swallowed up in death, that there was nothing beyond the grave, no future.the whole, thing would be a sham." CAPTAIN CHARLES LINDBERGH 'A tall, loose-jointed, raw-boned youngster, his sheer daring and stark nonchalance made him the "choice" over the older and probably prob-ably better aviators from the very first. They had -elaborate equipment, equip-ment, a flock of mechanicians, complicated plans and elaborate organizations. organi-zations. Landbercr had. no. more Diana, eauinment or organization than a chicken hawk. Not Captain Lindbergh. He ran his own show. A man and a compass and a bottle of water, a sandwich or two and his own confidence, and he was on his way to win. And he .won His face on the front page of a thousand newspapers has been the magnet for genuine and. devoted interest. His smile, his figure, his youth, his record, his confidence, his very airplane had won their way into everybody's heart. He was, all of a moment, the country's kid. God bless him, he might be a fool, but he was a gorgeous fool, and everybody loved him. It is .more than Captain Lindbergh's adventure and triumph,: it is the spirit of man uncovered to reveal a hidden beauty and strength which for the futilities remains a perpetual hope. FARMING 100 YEARS AGO Hundred years ago 80 per cent of the people were engaged in agriculture as compared with 28 per cent at present. A-hundred years ago we had no farming implements worth while and knew very little about agriculture. . We can remember the time when you couldn't get a man to wear a checked suit because he was afraid somebody would think he was a gambler. George Crooks Dies , .... .
