Once more the holidays are over, with their delightful mystery, and their atmosphere of pleasurable ex- citement caused by a departure from the general routine for purposes of pleasure. With their passing comes again the discovery that we are go- ing on inthe new year much as we did in the last. The same round of work stretches out before us; there is the same round of social duties and the same circle of good, old friends, just one year dearer than they were in 1910; and thankful} indeed are we if there is the same| precious family group bound to-| gether with the same strong fettersi‘ of love and loyalty. We are in the habit of looking forward to “pext year” as a time when things will not be as now, when, in some vague way which we do not understand and cannot explain, there will be a| great and sudden change always, of course, for the better. The opening of the new year brings us just the slightest trace of dissappointment when we begin to realize that the days are just like other days and there is to be, after all, no recon- struction. It takes time for the| truth to be born in upon us that we make our own world, and that if there is to be a reconstruction it must be within ourselves and caused by our own effort, and that it will be gradual. If we can look back upon the past year and feel that we have | been more useful to those about us |than we were the year before, that there is some group of persons, or even just one person, whose world is happier because we are in it, and then if we can look ahead to the new year and see where we can be more useful than we were last, and make some one happier than ever because we are broader and living a fuller life, we are bound to look forward to a happy new year. “What we have been makes us what we are,” but what we are makes us what we| are going to be. The gift is within ourselves, and it rests with ourselves alone whether we realize a happy new year of progress toward what- ever goal we have set ourselves, or whether we are unhappy and dis- 15¢c per| Misses Rose aad Lil Barrette ar- rived here Sunday morning from Bemidji and speat their new year holiday with friends and relatives here.

NO PASSENGER ESCAPES Bandits Do Not Attempt to Enter Ex press Car, but Make a Rich Haul Among the Occupants of the Pull mans—Porter Disregards Commands of Highwayman and Is Killed, Two Other Persons Being Wounded. Ogden, Utah, Jan. 4 —Southern Pa- cific train No. 1, the Overland Limited, westbound, was held up by two masked bandits at Reese, nine miles west of Ogden. & One- negro porter was shot and in- stantly killed and another porter was mortally wounded. A passenger was slightly wounded. One hundred pas- sengers on the train were relieved of their valuables. The robbers did not attempt to enter the express car, but devoted their en- tire attention to the Pullmans, where they made a rich haul among the Cali- fornia bound passengers, holding the train for more than an hour. The train then proceeded westward. No passenger escaped the robbers and the trainmen also lost their mon- ey and jewelry. At 12:30 a. m. Conductor Cunning- ham advised the superintendent’s of- fice at this place of the holdup. The sheriff and police department were im- mediately notified and posses left the city for the sceme of the holdup in automobiles and on a special train. Posses from the nearby towns are working toward Reese. Stop Train by Signal. Two masked men stopped the train at the little watering station by throw- ing the red light on the signal stand toward the approaching locomotive. As it came to a standstill the bandits covered the engineer and fireman with their revolvers and held them until the conductor ran up to investigate . = the delay.

Evidently the | vessel was lost in the heavy storms in | the middle of December. Forty Persons Are Injured. New York, Jan. 4—Slippery rails, caused by the rain, are held responsi- ble for a collision between two crowd- ed street cars on the incline at Brook- lyn in which forty persons were in- Jured. Six passengers and the motor- man of one car are in hospitals, seri ws;iemaimed, but none are expected FREED- OF MURDER CHARGE End of Sensational Case at Lancas |ff ter, Mo. Lancaster, Mo., Jan. 4—Mrs. Alma || H. Vaughn and Dr. James R. Hull, accused of the murder of Professor John T. Vaughn nearly a year ago, ||| were freed of the charges against them after Judge Shelton had refused to grant the further continuance asked | |f by the state. The announcement was greeted with applause by "friends of Mrs. || Vaughn and Dr. Hill. The widow ap- peared unconcerned when she under- stood that she would be no longer held on a murder charge. - Professor Vaughn died in Kirksville, Mo., suddenly, Oct. 14, 1909. In Jan- uary, 1919, his body was exhumed. Upon Dr. Schweitzer’s report that he found strychnine in the deceased edu- cator’s stomach, indictments were re- turned a few weeks later. POSTAL BANKS A REALITY One Instituted in Every State in the Union. ‘Washington, Jan. 4.—Postal banks became a reality Tuesday when one of the new government savings institu- tions was opened in each state in the Union. In the Northwest states gen- erally extremely cold weather prevent: ed any marked rush of people to take advantage of these banks, but, it is stated, prospects are that all of them will receive deposits from large num- bers of persons with small savings. It is the intention of the government to extend the postal savings system as rapidly as possible. Cold in the Northwest. St. Paul, Dec. 4—St. Paul and the Northwest awoke to face the bitterest cold that hus been experienced here in two years. The thermometers in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Montana and the Dakotas registered all the way from 20 to 35 degrees below zero. POOR SLEEPER Healthy children sleep soundly.

Isn’t it true that every time you drink a cup of coffee you say to yourself or someone else that the coffee is rather good or bad? Your sense of taste either approves or con- demns every cup you drink. And isn’t it also true that you condemn more cups then you approve? That simply shows you haven’t yet found the coffee that just suits you. T Perhaps no other coffee has had as” much] good said of it as our Chase & Sanborn brand.
