“Physical culture, father, is per¬
fectly lovely!” exclaimed an enthusi¬
astic young miss just home from col¬
lege. “Look! To develon the arms 1
grasp this rod in both hands and lhovt
it slowly from right to left.”
“Well, well,” replied dad admiring¬

JANUARY 1ST
Enter the stork bringing 1925, a
helpless new thing, in strange sur¬
roundings, with the responsibility of
arranging 12 months to suit millions
of people
Like all new things during the first
few weeks he will be satisfied with
his environment. But just as soon as
he glows accustomed to ids new
home he will be out romping with the
March wind hoys, turning over the
rain barrels and upsetting buckets of
frost on our spring flowers and gar¬
dens.
About June he will be so interested
in the affairs of Cupid he will for¬
get to turn the spigot _iint.il every¬
thing is burning up and everyone
complaining of heat, then when he
remembers to turn it on he’ll forget
to turn it off until everything
is flooded with water. In the
prime of his life he will attend strict¬
ly to his job and will have golden
autumn days until he gets so old he
•sits nodding and leaves the weather
to look after itself.
But woe unto him if he allows
Christmas to come on a Sunday.
If he should forget himself at any
time during the year, in years to
come we will he telling our grand
children about the ayful weather of
1925.
Quite a number will remember him
as the year of their marriage, a lot
more as the year of their birth, while
there will be many who will look
back on 1925 as a year of sadness.
So here’s welcome to the little fel¬
low and hoping he has many blessings
and great happiness in store for ev¬
ery one and special joys for the
readers of The Leader-Tribune.
