City Will Go Out of House Wiring Business.

The pity of Rensselaer has decided that, ho far as possible, it will go out of the private light wiring and electrical supply business. For many years there was no private wiring contractor in Rensselaer but since the meter installation and the employment of various electrical devices in the homes that followed the day current, the wiring and supply business has greatly increased. K. T. Rhoades & Co. have taken over the city’s wiring contracts and some of the city supplies and all havmg work to do will be referred to that firm. The city will, of course, continue to do outside wiring and will from necessity have to take care of some repair Work.

One copy will be sent by mail to the president of the United States senate and one will be forwarded to the same official by one of the electors, to be chosen by the others.

Wastes of 1912 Should Give Way to 1913 Production.

Today closes the year 1912, "a remarkable year in many ways, particularly for the prosperous conditions that have prevailed. Big prices for the products of the farm and the factory, big wages for labor and the employment of every man who wanted to work and also remarkable for the fact that while these conditions prevailed there arose a feeling of general unrest throughout the country that resulted in transferring the control of the government in the hands of the democrats, who have advocated policies directly at variance with the prevailing ones and which are quite certain in their fulfillment to destroy much of the country’s prosperity. That there has been a growing tendency toward carelessness in living, reckless extravagance, and lack of seriousness in life is generally agreed, and that the effort that jmccess should require is anotlmr condition that has been growwi during our years of great national prosperity. There are men and many of them who do not produce anything but who should in a proper equalization of reward for labor be required to perform manual labor. There are many men who “get by” too easily. They scheme to avoid production and try to make a living or to gain a competency at the expense of others. This is not new with the dying year, it has always existed, but the abundance of the times has given zest to the desire to get something “easy” to 'do- Diligence has always bgpff a guarantor of success and in the end it is the sole dependence of any man. Glance about you and see .who the really successful men in your community are and you will find that they are men who have labored long and hard and who are willing any time to bear their full burden and if need be to help another. Pick out the failures of your acquaintance and you will nearly always find the drones. Success is not measured by money accumulation. Men with large families may find that it is hard to keep even no matter how

hard they work or how carefully they plan, but they are making tor | success nevertheless and If their bpdy holds out they will get it in the satisfaction that comes with the knowledge that they have tried. It is the drone and the misfit who are causing the high cost of living. Every time that you neglect to perform a task that you should perform, you are contributing to the waste of the world and wastes are' certain to cost something to some one and unfortunately not always to the one committing the waste; although in the end he usually bears the burden. With the prosperity there has been a tendency toward lessenging the effort to succeed and there has been produced an unusually large crop of men who have been seeking for a “soft” place to light. The polished fingernail class has expanded at the expense of the calloused palm. While in the minds of leaders the dignity of labor has never been discounted there are more mistaken men today than ever before about discrimination in employment. These are some thoughts that are suggested at the closing of the year. There should be a lesson in them that should inspire us to make more of the coming year than we have of the past. Every person should determine to do his full part and more of the tasks of the year. Every person should be honest enough not to want to secure the product of another's labor without contributing an equal service in the product. Let us avoid the wastes many have brought to our doors. It is up to you to make 1913 worth something and a year hence to bring the multiplied talents of your efforts for the reckoning. Start at once with a determination to employ every minute of your time in production, physical, mental and material. There has never been a failure where this effort was maintained.
