New Year’s Day
Festivals in celebration of the
begining of a new year have been
traced back as far as 3000 B. C.,
to ancient Babylon. They may
have been held long before that
Throughout the ages various
peoples have observed various
days as New Years Day.
In view of many calendars
which have been employed to
mark the passage of time, much
confusion has resulted. Different
people have counted the years
from some real or imaginary
event, and the length of the year
itself has varied according to the
calendar used.
The Mohammedan year, for
example, is governed by the moon
instead of the sun, and consists
of 12 lunar months, or only 354
days. The Hebrew calendar also
consists of 354 days ordinarily,
but an extra month is inserted
once in 19 years, making 384
days in those embolismic years,
as they are called.
The ancient Egyptian year had
12 months of 30 days each, bul
five supplementary days were
added at the end, making 365
days. Similar peculiarities mark
ed the year of various other peo
ples. At one time or another
every day in the year has been
considered New Year’s Day ac
cording to some “calendar or
Mother.
Oqr present calendar is a mod
ifleation of that established by
Julius Caesar in the year 49 B.C
Augustus made some rearrange
ment of the numder of days in
the tar loud months, so that Au
gust, named for him, might have
as many days as July, named for
Jtilius, for originally August had
only 30 days. The calendar we
now use was established by Pope
Gregory in 1582.
So, when we observe New
Year's Day we may understand
thatrit does not mean anything
' in particular, except that it is the
first day of a year arbitrarily
established as a convenient
* means of reckoning the flight of
1 time. "

A Merchant Who Had a
Vision
There is a merchant in a small,
middle western town who does a
business of over a million and
half dollars a year.
This immense volume for a
country store has been built up
over a period of a dozen years.
It was done by advertising. It
could not have been done in any
other way. If this merchant had
not advertised his store and his
merchandies, he would be still
doing business in a little square
front, frame building with a clerk
and a delivery boy.
He wasen’t satisfied to remain
this kind of a merchant. He had
dreams of a larger list of custo
mers, a bigger store, a larger
ousiness. Advertising did it for
him.
Advertising will not make
every business a million dollar
business, but it will increase
sales and build up volume for
any merchant who advertises
liberally and wisely and who
backs up his advertising with
courtesy, service, good goods and
modern merchandising methods.

[
THESE days when a rigidly eco
nomical home menu is fre
quently a necessity, how to assure
maximum health and food value at
the least cost is an important prob
lem. A greater use of cereal foods
as lunch and supper dishes, as well
as for breakfast, is one way to
solve it. A dish of cornflakes and
cream provides about one and a
half times the food value of a serv
ing of airloin steak, at a fraction
of the cost.
Rubbing the edge of the sauce
pan with butter Is a good way to
prevent milk from boiling over.
If there is any person for
whom you Lei a dislike, that is
the person of whom you ought
never to speak.—Richard Cecil

“Join Red Cross,” Urges
Vice President Curtis
America's prominent citizens join
in urging all men and women to
become members of the Red Cross
during the period of the annual roll
call from Armistice Day to Thanks
giving Day.
The Honorable Charles Curtis,
Vice President of the United States,
says: "The American Red Cross is
in a position to and does more to
relieve those stricken by misfortune
than any other organization in tbs
world. Its splendid work has done
much to bring a friendly feeling in
all parts of the world for the people
of our country because they sustain
the American Red Cross. This
wonderful organization is entitled
to the liberal support of our peo
ple.”
The Honorable Andrew W. Mel
lon. Secretary ot the Treasury,
says: “No one can predict when or
where disaster may occur or acute
emergency arise. The American
Red Cross represents our commu
nity insurance against such misfor
tunes. The organization stands
ready at all times to render speedy
: relief to any stricken area in the re
lief of disaster In foreign countries.
The Red Cross is the agency which
carries on when emergency has dis
rupted customary modes and
means of life in a community.”
The best rose bush after all, is
not that which has the fewest
thorns, but that which bears the
finest roses.—Henrj Van Dyke.
