THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 1932. A Resolve to Be Tolerant. 4 r i\ On New Year’s Eve, a newspaper editor, speaking over the radio, ad vised his hearers not to make a long list of New Year Resolutions, but to make just one—and live up to it. Here it is: Resolve to be more tolerant during 1932—tolerance to be practiced by *. v i nations as well a s individuals. How much of human hapiness is packed in that one word! For toler ance in its fullest sense means for bearance, and forbearance is the ex ercise of patience—indulgence to ward offenders or enemies—long-suf fering—abstinence—lenity— mildness. So don’t you see that if we are tolerant in our attitude toward others, ai!1 the other good resolutions that we are wont to make—and bre&k— ar e fulfilled? Let’s strive to be tolerant in this Year of Grace 1932. than ever, (except during the World War.i) Ther e is a case where de- maiid pays no attention to supply. My New Year’s Resolutions. 1.

Resolved, That I will try harder to be more patient while the same guy is telling me the same joke that he told me the day before—that tickl ed him so. , 3.

Resolved, That I will not shoot my dentist (as planned) the next time he bores a hole thru my jaw bone and asks me if that hurts. *—When folks refuse to adjust them selves, Old Man Time step^ in and does the adjusting. If the govern ment will, gffbasek to running the post office and the army and navy,, we’ll be better off. You can’t help a man by lehding him much money: If he ha g “much” money, he can’t function normally.

Holmes, founder and for many years the be loved editor of The Barnwell People, appeared in that paper in its issue of c December 31, 1903, and fully expresses the joy or regret with which we bade the old year adieu and the hope, or fear with which we face the new one: “An old friend is dying—passing away. This midnight, 1903 will be added to history, tfith all it s chroni cles of good and ill. “It has been a full year, to some overflowing with sacrifice and sorrow, the loss of cherished ones in their be?t beauty of manhood or woman hood, and no touch of time can ever heal the deep hurts made in the wounded hearts of thos e that miss and grieve for thejoved and lost who shall not come again while- the earth ^ shall keep its long course. Only in I the fair land beyond the valley of the shadow shall these sorrows of the life below b e forgotten, when the glory of the day that shall never end, never be clouded, shall welcome the reunion of hearts and souls, kindred j here and there. And as tonight the glowing embers on the hearth shall grew pale and fall to gray ashes, so at la^t shall all earth’s cares and glorie s perish before the breaking of eternal day. “To others th e dying year has been crowded with happiness, burst ing with good fortune, a long sum- j mer of prosperity, but to them,' somewhere in the future, the cup of hum$n sorrow is kept and waiting, and soon or late it must be drained to the last drop, for over all lives the cloud<, must lower and care makes its entrance and home in every human heart. All sha,'l be levelled at the last, and sleep in one burial. “A new year’s light shall greet and gUdden the eyes that wake tomorrow 1 morning. The old book, its pages 1 lear-sta’ned and soiled like a child's primer, is closed and laid* aside, yet its impress and influence, become a part of every being, will guide for right or Wrong through the untrod den, unmarked pathways of the future. None would forget its bright-, ness, none can blot its sadder mem- ] cries into bare oblivion. “The new year, fair-leaved, "opens; with the morrow, and we begin to write in word and deed and thought. A day, a page at a time j<, all one can touch, and what shall its record be— better than the old, or worse? It cannot b e the same, for as life goes on it must be lifted to higher or drop- ped to lower planes. “A Happy New Year to you all, ahd -when the twelve months shall have gone, may each write on ftAUst De cember night the verdict— “ It bag been the happiest year of Efe, because it has been the purest, moot unselfish, and its best treasure ■n laid up.n the hereafter.' ” j 6. Resolved, That I will not cash very many checks for my friends and none at all for strangers—unless cot ton goe s to 15 cents a pound by this time next year—then I’ll cash an ex tra one for my friends. ° HOPOCATRUC v- By G.

The usual application of ferti lizer for a cabbage crop i s 2.000 lbs. of 7-8-5 per acre, half put down un der the crop at planting time and the ether half in early February, when growth starts. * A side application of 200 to 400 pounds of 0-15-15 side dresser has given excellent results when applied early in the growing sea^n.

Don’t get the idea that it is a $60 per acre crop.
