I O < It is not a crime to fail; it is a I crime against yourself not to try. < O 1 Have you broken your New Year | resolution? Anyway, it is better to < try than not to try. i O Some men talk hard times so per sistently that they fail to get any of j the good time when that happy con- ' dition arrives. 1 O Let everybody strive to bring on < the best year of prosperity Union ( ever had. Your part is to do your ; "dead level best." < O < How many times already have you < forgotten to put down in your New j Year expense book the items of per- | sonal and household expense? j 0 1 Let us lose no precious time in ; vain regrets for the past mistakes. 1 Let us turn our faces to the future, ] and with hope and courage let us go < forward into the untried paths of i 3913. 0 < We will hear a great deal about the reduction of cotton acreage now soon, and when all has been done and said we will go on and plant about every acre we can. We always have done just about as we pleased, and we are going to continue so to do. But there is this to be said: Don't plant an acre more than you can use well. If you can plant a hundred acres and thorouirhlv cultivate anrl fertilise the hundred, fro ahead and plant that < many acres. But do not plant an t acre more than you can use well. * o i Have you tried the "parcels post"? t It cannot fail to help our people. I Why just think of the convenience of mailinfr the Times Editor or anybody else here a dressed hen And then by return mail receiving a bolt of f bleachinfr or just about anything you 1 wish to havp spnt von Ai-i/t 1 little. We do not believe the law is going to hurt our merchants. It will * help them, we heartily believe. That t is, it will help them if they will but i help themselves by advertising. Let the people in the rural districts know ' what you have, and you will find yourself sending out goods to satisfy their demands, and they will b* i mailing in supplies to meet your de- 1 mands. It's going to help all round. (. we believe. O THE SPIRIT OF LAWLESSNESS. < t The atrocious murder of an a^ed 1 , man near Whitestone last week is but t another victim added to the growing , list. There is no denying the fact t that we are a lawless people, and s human life is cheap in this country. The case in Spartanburg was more ( diabolical than any murder we have f known of for years. The victim was a mute, was 74 years old, lived alone and was shot in the back .and then robbed. The fiend who did that would stop short of nothing. There is little fear of the law in the hearts of the criminals. There are so many loop holes, so many avenues of escape, provided one has money, that fear of the law is well-nigh a thing of the past. There can be no advanced iriviuzauon wunouc law. mere can be no safety to life and to property where the law is lax. The honest man, the faithful citizen has no need i to fear the law. He does not feel 1 the heavy hand of the law for the reason that the law has no power to harm one who does not run counter to its commands. The people of this state and of our lation as well, need to be aroused as to the true conditions that face us. It is but little short of utter ruin. We do not believe these conditions will continue. There are alrenrlv sicrn? that bespeak better days. God speed the day O HOW WILL YOU ECONOMIZE? The most of us, when we begin to plan economy, begin at the wrong end. The useless waste, the unnecessary and hurtful things are renounced more slowly than are the things hat are wholesome and good. It is the luxury, frequently, that hurts ind it is the luxury, often, that we find hard to give up. Thousands of eeople have been making resolutions to practice economy this year. And jften the first thing thought of was the food and clothing account. It is true that many could wear "clothes less expensive and might eat food that cost less without injury to themselves. But the vast majority do not need to economize on food and clothes. These are necessary. To do pood work one must have pood, wholesome ' food and warm, comfortable clothinp. j The enpine that pulls eats up quantities of coal. Half-fed and poorly 5 clad children have a poor show in school. You may save expense in re- 1 ducinp the amount of corn you feed your horse, but it is expensive in the ] end. A raw-boned, hungry horse is a poor makeshift. The law- 4ihat H operates in the case of the lower ani- J mals operates also in that of the ' hiphest animal, man. We are not j ible to irot aw;iv frnrr. tho low Iv nourished bodies are not only at x disadvantage in the field of labor, 1 3ut they are prone to disease, as well. ( rf this be so, let us look in some other iirectron to form our New Year , resolution to practice economy. There will be found many better ways than ;utting down the food and clothing. t 0 , Red men Elect Officers. ? Pawnee Tribe, No. 4, I. O. R.
