In 1900, grandad grew his crops with the
labor of men and mules. In 1925, dad raised
his cotton, corn and tobacco with — you
guessed rt — men and mules.
But today, Grandson likely doesn’t have
a mule on the place. He has graduated to a
tractor . . . said goodbye to “Jim and Jenny”
. . . and is using modern farming methods,
modern machinery to produce bigger yields

that day to this, Standard Oil fuels have been

Celebrating
New Year's
Centuries Old
Man has welcomed the New
Year in a giddy fashion ior
i centuries.
It has been obsarved on various ।
dates in different times and places
but the manner of celebration has l
been virtually the same from the (
times of the Romans. And in;
America, the merry-making spirit
has been a strong one since the |
colonial days.
“Lewd Orgies” is the way
writers have described the early
festivals of the Romans. The
celebrations were noted for the
amount of food and drink eon
' sumed.
In colonial days in America it
was the custom of younger
people to visit taverns and friends
to drink their health and toast
the coming of the New Year,
j Some of the parties became small
riots.
The custom of celebrating has
grown so much that today the
I average American feels lost un
less he has plans to “go some
where” and “do something” on
! New Year’s eve.
In France and Germany, the
’ holiday is marked by festivities
s resembling those of this country.

Before World War 11, Paris and

recover from the economic and
physical damage caused by the
i
war.
Mexico and the South Ameri
can countries mark the new year
with extensive religious service ;
and by lay celebrations in every I
city, town and hamlet. All join
lin the merry-making which
■ begins early and continues late.
For centuries the New Year's
j season has been a mixture of
gaiety and solemnity; an occasion
of glowing prophecy and grave
। stocktaking; a time for reso
