Receipts of live stock at 08 markets ff tlie United States for the first 11 months of this year show that Indianapolis ranks fifth among the hog markets of the country, two of these showing only a small increase over Indian n polls.

Two companies of state militia are in the process of formation at Newcastle, and it is hoped to have both recognized by Harry II. Smith, adjutant perioral of Indiana, in the reorganization of the state militia. It is planned to use the same armory for both companies. The average cost of hoard and room for students at Purdue university -s $34.00 a month, according to a report made to President W. 12. Stone by a faculty committee named by him to investigate reports of alleged profiteering by rooming house proprietors shortly after the opening of the university this fall. The purchase of rock by the county at $2. 10 a cubic yard, which could have been bought at $1.o0 was brought out in the trial of John (Jack) Koch and Widter S. Williams, county commissioners of Vanderbe.rg county, on impeachment proceedings before Special Judge AValton M. Vt'he.der and a jury in the circuit court at I2vansville. The North Vernon Water Works company petitioned the public service commission for authority to increnso its water rates. The proposed rates are from r2 to 11 cents a thousand gallons, dependent on the quantity used. Authority Is also asked to establish a monthly minimum of from to $137.20, dependent on the size of the meter. The bodies of William and Edward Seikman. shot-firc-rs at the Rosso mine at Ruckskln, near Evansville, who were trapped by an explosion in the the mine, were recovered by rescue parties. TVbris and timbers in the wrecked shaft of the mine delayed rescue work. A windy shot is believed to have caused the blast, which was felt for mines. The Indiana Telephone association, an organization which has been In existence for several months, has been incorporated. Articles of incorporation were filed with the secretary of state by Claude II. Stoops of Napanee, William M. Railey of Richmond and Frank O. Cuppy of Lafayette. The or ganization is composed of all the tele phone companies In the state. The settlment of an estate that has been pending in the courts for 56 years was closed when Judge Mahlon E. Rash entered in the records of the probate court a final order directing that P.O acres of land abutting the Mars Hill addition, in Indianapolis, he sold, and the proceeds distributed among the lawful heirs of Andrew Hoover, who tiled in 1SC3. While the country-wide search for Thomas C. Roland, former general manager ot the t ermatiie storage isattery company, Indianapolis, wanted for alleged larceny and embezzlement of sums totaling more than ?irH,000, continued, auditors ferreting the labyrinths of Roland's financial transac tions were able to offer figures that show he must have had between $100,p1 and $t2,MX avaitahle to take with him en his th.ht.

'' " i4, n 1 'W Offer Opportunity for Each Us to Write Therein a Record Better Than the Preceding. cf HE coming year lies spread like the white nlain that ! sweeps from the roadside to the distant forest where the gray squirrels are making tracks in the light snow. On this white sheet a little record may be written; not a full life story, but merely a brief chapter or two, like thp chapters of squirrel life that may be read by one who today ventures into the white forest. It Is a great mystery that lies ahead, a treasure house of endless possibilities. The span of a man's lif j Is idiort ; shorter in absolute measurement than the span of a year. For each year, when October fades into November, has wrought completeness. No human life can bring completeness. It cannot bring completeness of knowledge or completeness of happiness or completeness of good works. The best man can do, in his poor, limited way, is to glean as much wisdom and win as much happiness and do as much good as the number of his days permits. When the human October fades it may thus be rich and peaceful and without the scars of stormy days or the blight of wasted days and without undue regret that what should have been seen and known and done has not been seen and known and done. TEAR'S completeness is but a twelvemonth. Our human incom pleteness covers many twelvemonths. I low fortunate that each dawning year means a new opportunity to live and learn. Again and again we may take up the thread and advance toward the -goal of apprehension. Wo may study God's works and year by year come nearer to an appreciation of them. We can never fully appreciate them, for our minds are finite, and they are in- ' ' 'imJ Sil.s. ui' "wev V ii v awVf a wt j'" t ! I wit V V i ..!-. . , j the same old rj' such vv: 7:1

cr A p- -"-: f I '1 finite. But each succeeding year is a new opportunity. It offers the perfection of completeness, and by even a partial comprehension of Its fullness we may move toward fulfillment cf the measure of our lives. "I am not afraid," said Thoreau, "that I shall exaggerate the value and significance of life, but that I shall not be up to the occasion which it is. I shall be sorry to remember that I was there, but noticed nothing remarkable not so much as a prince in disguise ; lived In the golden age a hired man ; visited Olympus even, and fell asleep after dinner, and did not hear the conversation of the gods." NE who loves only artificiality, who does not note the excellence of the world he has been set to rule, proves himself unworthy of his heritage, and Is punished by bitter unrest. His life lacks the boon of contentment which Includes all boons. There are, or course, the few whose mental scope is too narrow for self-measurement. They do not even knowthat they are discontented and may enjoy life as the ox enjoys life. They are fortunate. The unfortunate man Is the one' who has, even dimly, an understanding that the world is good and beautiful and that he is failing to reap the richness that Is rightly Ms. The coming year is indeed a great mystery, full of possibilities. Whoever has not watched and studied the i.1 -V-, ofHas arowaltinfd for His opportunities I 1 j ofttiecomingyear!

C PeUtr. v m' -- passing years may begin today; it is never too late. Whoever has long watched and loved the years will know that to his knowledge, however ripe, much will be added. He will advance a step nearer to the goal of contentment, and in so adv anclng will increase his human usefulness, his helpfulness. ni.IE year dawns ca an earth red . with blood, an earth torn with strife.

April will spread her feast of flowers. June will display her green perfection of beauty. August will offer the ripening grains; October the laden orchards. The year will take no heed of the crime that has been done by man or of the vengeance that marched Inexorably. POETS died in the trenches of Gallipoli and France, watching God's sunrise or the wispy clouds In the blue. British gentlemen caked with the mud of Flanders wrote detailed reports of their observations of migratory birds and of the effect 6f drumfire on bird life. French students and scholars, bearded and dirty, made careful notes of the flora of the Meuse and the So in me. These men visited Olympus and did not fall asleep while the gods conversed. Neither did they permit the roar of man's fury to drown out the divine voices. So It must be a good year that is ahead. There can be no bad years. The years are measured by God and not by the evil that men do. Joy That Aff Can Have. The joy of living is best found in the real success of life. Take away success and there's no joy in life to one alive to opportunities and responsibilities. No live man is satisfied with mere existence, for he wants to contribute something to the world's progress, the world's good. And it is in such contribution that real joy is found, the satisfaction that comes from full realization that one has done what he could In the year given him. So this Is the joy this journal wishes every reader may have the coming year; and will have if they fully appreciate that the new year la theirs, to make it truly a happy new year. Day Means Much ta AIL New Years suggest intimate personal views of self. The annual crop of good resolutions shows how near most people are to becoming radically better. The day also bring a sense of the Inexhaustible resources cf life. It is the door into a wonderful future, new inventions, new discoveries, new achievements, of social justice and privilege and joy for the masses of men. .3 f -sib-1 -Ss-1 "!. y .- w' S" "O" V.'
