If you can leave the old year with a realization that you have done the very best you wére capable of doing, then let it pass with no regards for you will be reward- ed with results some day, if you haven’t been already. Then look forward into the future with a glad heart and a greater courage, knowing that success will come to those who have the courage and ambition to “stay with the ship” and accept the results with a smile and a firm conviction that great things are pos- sible for those who persevere. Be conservative, be consistent, but above all be ambitious.

MONTESANO ROCKED Montesano, Wash.—An explosition which shook the entire town of Monte- sano and brought out the populace Bunday night is believed by the police to be a miscarriage of a plot to wreck whieh are incarcerated seven men con- victed last March of complicity in the Centralia, Wash., armistice day mur- ders of November 11, 1919. The explosion occurred under a tree la @ vacant lot near the Northern Pa- tifio station and within 100 feet of the main street of the town. The tree was shatterred by the blast. The police theory of a possible plot |ports of the presence of a stranger loitering about the jail during the day. The man carried a leather traveling bag and pieces of such a bag with a short length of fuse were picked up near the scene of the explosion by W. C. McAloon, marshal. It is the marshal’s belief that the bomb was cached near the tree and prematurely exploded. No damage resulted. FLU CARRIES IMMUNITY Prbile Health Service Declares Sub- sequent Attacks Unlikely. Washington. — Influenza attacks sarry with them “a definite immunity to subsequent attacks, lasting several years,” according to conclusions reach- ed by the public health service after the disease was epidemic in 1918-19. Surgeon General Cumming pointed out, however, that there was no way of definitely foretelling “whether this winter will witness any recurrence of influenza in epidemic form.” He add- ed that it was “unfortunate” that the public was “so little moved” by the “daily occurrence of preventable death.” “Of the 1,250,000 deaths occurring in the United States annually, at least 100,000 could easily have been pre- vented by the application of availa- ble medical knowledge,” he said. 1920 Record Year For All Rallroade.

Washington.— Withdrawal of the tax ezémption provision from farm loan bonds issued in the future by joint stock land banks has been recommend- ed to congress by Secretary Houston on the ground that these banks are organizations of private capital for commercial purposes in which the pro- fits accrue to the benefit of the in- | vesting stockholders. Tax exemptions in the case of joint stock land banks were declared by the secretary to amount to a gift at the expense of the government and tax- payers generally. The privilege, he said, should not be continued with re- spect to the private mortgage com- panies, organized for private profit. This is emphasized, the secretary as- serted, in this period of high taxes, when the government has established | the policy of subjecting ite own securt- | Hes to partial taxation and when the treasury cannot afford to dispense with any of the receipts which other- | wise would accrue on account of taxes. The withdrawal of the tax exemp- tion for the United States from farm loan bonds, however, the secretary suggested, should be accompanied by an increase in the powers of the fed- eral land banks to make any loans now authorized by joint stock land banks in order that there be no curtailment of the financial benefits to agriculture | provided by the farm loan act. During the past fiscal year, the sec- | retary said, 27 joint stock land banks were in active operation, making loans in the aggregate of $20,262,470 to 3148 | borrowers. 'U, $. TROOPS IN EUROPE DWINDLING | Washington.—The American force \tn Germany will soon be reduced at the rate of about 1200 a month, due to the expiration of terms of enlist- ment, and no replacements are being sent to Coblenz. The war department estimates that by May, 1921, the force will have been reduced to 7000 or | 7500 men, about one brigade. While President Wilson has issued |no orders for the withdrawal of the intensive study in the homes where | to choice, $7.50@8.00; medium to good | force, substantial reductions are oc- \curing from month to month on an | increasing ratio. The force now num- j bers about 14,000 officers and men. |Many of the enlisted men have been |on the Rhine for a long time and their | enlistments are beginning to expire in considerable numbers. | The aggregate cost of the American |torce in Germany to June 30, 1920, which Germany must pay, amounted to $257,065,084.36. This sum includes maintenance of officers, men and ani- mals, charges peculiar to the army (civilian employes, rentals, billets and claims), and a net debit covering sur- veys, salvage sales and the like. MAY NULLIFY LAND LAW Japan Looking Forward to New Treaty With United States. 'Tékio. — Addressing preliminary meetings of the diet here, Viscount Uchida, the foreign minister, express- ed the opinion that a new Japanese- American treaty will be concluded leading to nullification of the Call- tornia land law. He said he expected such action to result from the negotia- tions which have been in progress at Washington between Ambassador Shi- fehara and Roland 8. Morris, United States ambassador to Japan. The ambassadors, he said, were making efforts to obtain an under- standing with the senate to secure passage of the treaty. He announced that in view of the sincerity with |which they are endeavoring to solve the problem, Japan has refrained from protesting against the California law, but that if the negotiations fail a |tormal protest would be lodged. British Letter Prompts Inquiry. Washington. — Official cognizance was taken by the state department of the action of the British embassy in writing directly to Chairman Kellogg of the senate committee investigating cable communications, denying testi- mony that the British authorities im- posed a censorship on cable messages coming to the United States from Great Britain. At the department's request Senator Kellogg sent to Acting Secretary Davis a copy of the em- bassy letter. New Type Battle Craft Under Way. Washington.—Among the 140 ves- sels under construction for the navy are four types new to the American battle fleet but already in use by the other principal maritime powers.
