Pocahontas, wuk in holiday attire on
the last evening of nineteen twenty-one
and the satisfied smile on many of the
faces of the ladies as they welcomed
their guests. Welaunee Tribe Xo. 3ti. ;
Improved ’Order of Red Men to the en¬
tertainment they had arranged as a
fitting farewell to the old year and a
welcome to the new. Many fond hopes
had been realized, and some hitter dis¬
appointment suffered, but still it has 1
been a good year and we are, an 1
good things it has brought to us.
When the large hall was well filled ;
with the following happy lied program, Men and which their had friends been j
prepared by a bevy of pretty young i
girls, under the direction of Mrs. L. j
W. Arnold, was rendered:
Chorus—“Can’t Yo’ Heah Me Callin' |
Caroline".
Reading. Gone with a Handsomer
Man—Miss Fairy Plunkett.
Quartette, Sweet Hawaiian Moonlight
—Misses Bertha Gattis, Gertie Jordan.
Louise Thomas and Mrs. L. W. Ar¬
nold.
Reading, Down on the Rio Grande—
Mr. W. B. Meeks.
Chorus—Old Fashioned Garden.
Reading, I’d Rather be a Boy—Little
Quincy Thomas.
This was followed by impromptu
talks by Mrs. Pearl Taylor, Messrs. C.
L. Colltim, J. J. Johnson and Senior
Sagamore J. M. Pope, Bro. Jones, of
Gainesville, and our own Great Poca¬
hontas, Miss Alattie Collum.
Bro. M. A. Burch sang “Which Way
Will You Go,” and then told a joke on
“us" that we didn’t know he had
found out, and the welcome announta -
ment “Supper is Served” came to us
and with all haste possible under the
circumstances we went to the dining
hall where a lovely sight met our
vision. Spotless linen, shining silver¬
ware polished Chinaware, all over
long tables arranged all around the
hall, with some in the center. Soon as
we were seated Bro. J. J. Hulsey was
called upon to ask Divine blessing,
and then the dainty menu was served,
and ample justice was given same.
Some funny things happened when we
went down to supper. Bro. C. L. Col
lum is as full of fun as a gourd is of
seed, and he had the ladies to draw
for escorts to supper, and “we" were ;
drawn by a handsome young matron
with a big, fat boy baby, and as
Strange as it may seem, her husband
followed right along behind us, an I
was kind enough to keep the baby.
Every one seemed to enjoy this part
of the program immensely, especially
Mrs. G: IV. Ivy.
Too soon we had to stop eating, nor
on account of supply, but capacity,
and heavily plodded back up to tho
hall where games and small talks and
a,general good time was had as the lit"
of the dying year slowly but surely
slipped away and when the midnight
hour arrived with bated breath we
said “Farewell good old nineteen
twenty-one with all the joy* and sor¬
rows you have brought us," and in a
hopeful spirit we said. “Welcome nine¬
teen twenty-two. We know not what
you will bring to ns, but with the help
of God we intend to make the most
possible out of the opportunities that
you present," and quietly wended our
way homeward.
Too much praise cannot be given the
ladies of the committees who prepared
this feast and program, and we are
sure that they are appreciated by those
fortunate enough to be present. This
meeting will have a stimulating effect
on our Tribe and Council and grant
things are expected of them this year.

WII.VI DOES “1922”
MEAN TO VOL?
The clock strikes 12. Horns blow.
Another year ends, fades into eternitv
Enter. 1922.
Old 1921 was tt bad year for the av¬
erage pocketbook. There have been
worse years. But. taking it by-and
large. there will be few mourners as
1921 totters off the stage.
The new year, 1922. is a promising
one. Prospects are that business will
continue improving. The world is san¬
er, getting its balance restored, recov¬
ering from the war.
What does the new year mean to you
personally?
For one thing, it means that you are
a year older.
Business houses are taking invento¬
ry of goods on hand, checking up their
books, finding out what was accom¬
plished, what not. in 1921.
Why not take an inventory of your¬
self? was it a good year, or a had one,
for you? Did you make progress, slip
back or stand still? How docs your lot
compare with January 1, 1921? What
mistakes did you make—what errors
of judgment-^that can be avoided dur¬
ing 1922?
On the answers to thse questions,
base your Xew Year resolutions.
Let the birth of the new' year be a
re-birth of your ambitions, hopes and
the finer emotions that make life
worth while.—Ex.

AUTUMN GOOD THINGS.

sorts of good things at this season of
the year and the
thrifty housewife
will fill her fruit
closet with many
fruit combina¬
tions to add to
the winter menu.
Pears In Grape
Juice.—l’ears are
of themselves so flavorless or tnlld in
flavor that the addition of some good
flavor will improve them and give a
variety at the same time. Boll to¬
gether two quarts of grape Juice and
two pounds of sugar until thick, which
will reduce the mixture by one-half.
Add enough ripe pears, peeled, cored
and cut in quarters, to the sirup until
they are barely covered with the sirup.
Continue cooking until the pears are
thoroughly scalded. Rack Info sterile
jars, put ori the lids without sealing,
place in a hot oven on layers of paper
in a baking pan. Allow the heat In
the oven to entirely disappear before
taking out file jars. Then seal and
store for winter.
Fruit Salad.—Prepare two cupfuls of
watermelon, cut Into balls with a pota
to cutter, two cupfuls of cantaloupe,
cut into Inch cubes, one cupful of
sliced peaches; mix lightly and serve
on head lettuce with a French dress¬
ing. Serve at once.
Pear Salad.—Cook ripe pears until
tender in a rich sirup; arrange two
halves on fresh blanched leaves of en¬
dive, quarter blanched almonds and
decorate the pears, pushing the sharp
points Into the pears. Heap a table
spoonful of golden mayonnaise on the
side of the lettuce and serve at once.
Green Apple Soup. —Chop teu sour
apples, without coring or paring, and
cook in two quarts of water until
pulpy. Strain, return the liquid to the *
kettle, thicken with four tablespoonfuls j
of arrowroot stirred to a paste with
four tablespoonfuls of water, then add
to one-half cupful of the apple soup,
the whole poured into the kettle and
stirred until the soup boils. Add a i
dash of white pepper and two table
spoonfuls of sugar. Just before serv¬
ing add the juice of half a lemon and
garnish with lettuce leaves cut with a
small round cutter and scattered over
the soup like confetti.

•it; SPECIES OF BIRDS ARE
I DES TO THE BOLL WEEVIL
At least sixty-fflx species of birds
found in the southeastern United
States are of service in destroying the
cotton boll weevil, according to orni¬
thologists of the United States De¬
partment of Agriculture. A much larg¬
er number of the 4GO different species
found in the Southeast also render im¬
portant service to agriculture by feed¬
ing' on various insects which attack
field crops, garden truck, forage plants
and ti'iiit throughout the region. These
facts have been determined by exten¬
sive field and laboratory studies made
by the Biological Survey, the results
of which have just been published by
the Department of Agriculture as
I 1 armors Bulletin .Yo, 755, “Common
Birds ol Southeastern United States in
Relation to Agriculture."
Should a law prohibiting the killing j
of birds entirely in the cotton states j
be enforced rigidly for three years, we j
would see what a difference this would (
be as to the boll weevil menace. I

FIND IT HARD TO
PAY INCOME TAX
Washington—If members of congress
have any doubt that it is harder for
the man with a small income and eon
sequently a smaller tax to pay to meet
his obligation to the government, he
might scan tax return figures just
made public.
The figures show that 1.227,141 per
sons with a taxable income over the
$5,000 mark found if necessary to pay
on the instalment plan. Only 402,575
persons with incomes of over $5,000
found it necessary to pay in instal
