The great national pastime this weather is squeezing the
expenditure eolumm: ‘80 that it will remain: in proportion to ‘the
revenue... The first step i in this of course is making a decision as
to what items are absolutely neeessary to the well-being | of our
minds and bodies and consigning the balance to the limbo of things |
we will have when the times improve.

You cannot do without your local newspaper for. several very
good reasons, the first of which is that as an intelligent citizen
of the community it is necessary that you keep informed as to what
is taking place in that community what is transpiring at the sehoo!
the churches; if grants are being made from public funds, or cut.
off: what your community proposes doing about relief measures;
where food stuffs, meat, wearing apparel, wood coal, may be pur-
chased to the best advantage; all the intimate personal news; the
deaths, births, marriages, and the thousand and one other occur-
rences that go to make up the life of the commanity.

That is the funetion of the local weekly newspaper. Its news
columns each week carry the story of the activities of the com-
munity, and in addition to the effective news of the world at
large. Its advertising columns bring into your home the best of-.
ferings of. the stores and shops with prices and description.

The Herald costs you but Two Doilars for a whole year. If +
you will read it thoroughly, intelligently you will receive many,
many times over a return in value, And the Herald is a good
paper for the family to read. There are many things children may
learn from its columns, but nothing they should shun, The col-
umns are clean, carefully edited and contain all the NEWS.

“If you are already a subscriber to the Herald om
_ send it to a friend, either in the community or ;
at a distance. They will appreciate it. ed

ANOTHER NEW YEAR

_ It will soon be 2 New Year. Few, if
any, regretted the passing of 1931
Fewer still will regret: the passing of
1032, But there is ohe thing in favor
of. 1932 and its passing—it is taking
the “depression” with it.

- While we may not all recognize it
or acknowledge it, much less appre-
cinte it, still 19838 will usher in a new
set of conditions. Possibly we shoul¢c
say that with the close of the Old Year
we ore looking on life in-a utile differ.
ent light.” : .

The so- -called “depression” whieh we |
have experienced during the past twc

years was only the natural result. of

‘our own unanimous efforts. Because
iwe did not like those results we called

it depression. -
With the beginning of the New Yea1
‘we believe that a great many are tak.

‘ing a more philosophic view of life and
nre adjusting themselves to meet thr
‘new “conditions with as good. grace as

possible. On the other. hand, a great
many. will continue to kick against the
pricks and thus make life miserable fo:
themselves and for all with whom they
come, in contact, but eventually they,
will becomé re-adjusted. 4 :
I'he past two. years and the present,
time is.a period of rebirth or recon:
struction. For a -quarter of a’ century,
we thought we were making wonderful
strides toward the perfect end. We
were just plain fools, and instead of
venehing the perfect end we reached c
blind end, and now have to hurry back
and start over again..’. .
If 1988 will get us back to the start:
ing point and we begin on a new track
we will, be. fortunate -indeed. and will
have reason to ‘call, the year blessed
