THE second decade of the twentieth century has opened auspiciously. Whatever may have hcen the prog ress of the past, that of the imemdiate .future will excel in many respects. The world has gained an impetus of development that cannot easily be impeded. The watch word of the day is " Forward and Upward." There is making wonderful progress in the recognition of the brotherhood of man. Nations respect the rights of nations, and employ arbitration in the settlement of their differences. Killers more fully appreciate the content ment and happiness of their subjects whom they more largely employ in the arts of peace. Employers more equally share profit with their employes whose conditions of life are more generally subjects of their solicitude. Men are more fully actuated by the spirit of righteousness in all their activities. There are more forces opposed to vice and wickedness than ever before, no matter where found or in what form. There are higher ideals of life and great er efforts to attain them. In the arts and sciences there is progress tantamount to revolution. .Intelligence is hard crowding ignorance. The printing press is fast vanishing illiteracy. Apprecia tion of rights and privileges is supplying better govern ment. Wonderful discoveries and inventions are quicken ing communication and transportation. The air itself has been conquered. All of Mother Shipton's prophesies have 1 l lilMI "11 I 111' 1 . . . . .... 1 ..-... n 1 i ijcen iuiiiiieu nut one, aim iniiigs sue Jiever tiruamuii ui are coming to pass. jIen know more about themselves, are living according to their knowledge, and arc living longer. The world is growing better in more ways than one, and there is a general disposition to make it better still. J'n the forces making all this progress, and in the mo mentum of progress itself there is a potential of wonderful possibilities, yes, probabilities. Almost anything in the way of advancement is possible, many things are probable, for there is no chance for retrogression. And what is best, nearly everything worth while accomplished tends toward greater good. This is why it is bettor to live 1odajr than a generation ago, and why it is still better to be born today than to be passing with the present generation. There should be happiness in the fact that we have been permitted to enter the second decade of the twentieth century, for no decade has promised so much. .It devolves on us, however, to realize greatest happiness by contribut ing our share to all that is making for the good, for the welfare of mankind. It has been united effort that has achieved all that has been accomplished during the decade recently ended, and it will be combined effort that will bring the results of this decade. Brain is aiding brain, and fortunes are consecrated to the great forward move ment. There should be renewed determination to do best all that comes to us to do, and to give the world full value received for all the world gives us. If every man, woman and child would best serve his own interests he will strive so to live, not merely for the good that comes to him, but because he will do right by so living. So here's to honest and sincere endeavor, and a part in the greatest forward movement of mankind. Lei your watchword be " forward and Upward." CLUSTER LIGHTS WANTED. penditurc.

Men of capital are investing in land, looking to the prospect of planting orchards. Large tracts are being cleared and many places put under irrigation.

This laud which has been so long coming into cultivation may, when it has been planted to orchards, sell for the fabulous prices of the or chards of Itoguo River valley prop er. Hut what of the people here you mny ask. What pleasures in pioneering 1 Who has not watched the development of homeinditstry and has not enjoyed it? Who can be a part of a growing country and not feel glad that he forms a unit in the progress I'leamires of Pioneering. The abounding health, the free dom from restrictions of idd worn out customs that hamper some east ern localities, wo here enjoy. Whete we strive to battle to overcome dif ficulties, is where we grow, hence it is the place we are prone to recall with pleasure. There has been no round of gaiety in a social sense, though certain film pie amusement!? are enjoyed. The Whole World Kin. We have learned to know a few people well and we have tested the t ranger traits of our nighhors who have practically been partners in the f.truggle. Here is where we find true kindness and sympathy which enriches the nature and makes the whole world kin.

In the effort to prevent a threatened strike of 8000 street ear men here, Mayor IJusso today called n conference of presidents of traction lines for Mon day, when he will urge that conces sions bo made to the men. The trouble is due to u dispute re garding tho interpretation of a clause in the agreement between the Chicago City Railway company and the Chi cago Railways company, the two big systems and their employes. The agreement provides a m'inimum working day of nine hours with ti maximum of 11 hours. The unions claim that men employed on extra runs for one or two hours should be paid for a full 8-hour day. This de mand is vigorously opposed by the companies. MAN RESCUED AFTER 32 HOURS UNDERGROUND Ilasklns for Health.
