Show by ym ES ND CHANGING this lg Is an era of changes and we wa relish them to the point ot of hearty welcome in most moat instances those who do not change once in a while gradually drift into that lethargic state ot of mind which we call a rut and everybody resents that the same suit of clothes worn for too long ft a time grows tiresome to our neighbors it if not to ourselves though the garments ore are by no means worn out people relish contrasts especially when the change Is tor for the brighter the er the more attractive and this applies to our reading matter I 1 think fully as much as to mere physical appearances so the readers of this paper will notice our abandonment of things and words with the medical tang ever alert tor for the best at hla his disposal our editor believes th that t an inspirational diet will be relished dished tor for awhile he be believes and I 1 gree agree with him that the mind should bo be refreshed as well as the body so it Is with no little satisfaction that I 1 take up the pleasant duty to which I 1 am assigned there has never been a time when the thinkers ot of our beloved country have been sought with such positive energy we are interested in everything good the bad forces itself upon us whether we win will or no prove all things hold fast to that which Is good I 1 dont know of any better advice than that I 1 heartily wish I 1 could hear all of the comments that may be aroused by the things I 1 shall try to say to you dear friends during the next year maybe some of you will differ with me and some ot of my personal friends may even clip out something of mine and put it in the scrapbook scrap book I 1 shall dream that way at any rate and I 1 fully appreciate the honor of taking the place of a beloved writer who has lately been called to the higher sphere may I 1 hope that there Is lust just a little corner comer somewhere in your heart for me to creep into and be happy |
