WHAT A YEAR WILL DO.

The year ill I will do much lor this community if we but give it an opportunity.. They tell us it is to be a year of plenty—and we trust, of peace. But to secure the best results for our own people it is necessary that together—that we co-oper--MSrzrlhat we labor one tor the oth&i. as well as for self. _ The prosperity of a community is dependent largely upon the amount of money in circulation in the community. Money, is a present day necessity, and without it no community can survive. ' -A it would seem, there, ore. that about the best course we could pursue would be about as follows: - 1. Produce as much as possible—not only for,home consumption, but also for export. 2. Buy from a distance only what is actually necessary, and that cannot be had from some home dealer. b. Push the business, of every home enterprise to the limit, for every dollar that is brought into the community, and remains here, makes the comm,unity as a whole Just that much richer. 4. Devise means for increasing the output of the farms, and study methods for securing the best returns for marketed products. 5. If a farmer wants to hold hi® Trops for higher price-;, see that he has tlie. money to tide him over, for his increased returns means that much added wealth to the community as a whole. 6. I ind something for everyone to do—something that will enrich the ’Community, as well as the individual.

Drones are a dead weight wherever fpund. . , .7, Get all of the money we can from outside, sources, and keep as much as possible of what we get. 8. Make an effort to bring two dollars in where one goes out. A year of this medicine will bring a healthy glow to the community check, and will inspire that confidence and self reliance which always brings success.
