Mr. Phillips asked what was the government going to do for the farmer and returned soldier? Henry Ford might go broke and no one would suffer in particular but if the farmers failed what would become of us? He out lined what the British and Ger man governments are doing in housing the returned soldiers and settling them on a piece of land, suggesting that something of the sort be attempted here.

Wooster & Son. “ We have negotiated a great many sales in the year of 1919 and from all appearance 1920 will bring something of a boom in reel estate in this community, with the road work that is now laid out to do, and the buitding that is contemplated for the coming year, it should be a hum mer. One of the great problems that confronts us at this time, is how to get houses for people to live in, as all the houses that are habitable are occupied, and we are turning people away daily, not having houses to rent.” On New Year’s afternoon and night, Messrs, and Mesdames E. E. Saling. R. Graham McCall, S. E. Wooster, J. W. Reed, Theo Ahlberg, R. C. Deming, U. II. Gibbs, F. C. Bartholomew, and H. C. Stephens will keep open house at the Estacada Hotel.

In the afternoon there will be music, and in the evening gam» s and dancing. The Prayer Heard Around the World With “ the prayer around the world” the Now Year will be ushered in. In a t h o u s a n d t» agues it will be spoken at Watch-Night services in near and distant places; in the great cities of the western world no less than in distant villages on eastern hills. It will be heani by the kneeling woman in a New' York pew, by the bare-foot I go- rot headhunter, by Chinese con verts with bowed heads, by Hin du women listening reverently w ith their arms folded crosswise on their breasts, by Persian, Japanese, Syrian, Russ, indeed by all the peoples of the world. From New York, its starting point, the prayer has been sent around the world by the Inter church World Movement of North America, a movement to bring about Protestant coopera tion. This prayer is the first ever to be sent around the world, tne f.rst ever to be translated into a thousand languages and spoken simultaneously in countless pla ces. With one voice, though in many tongues, it calls for “ the elevation of justice and of broth erhood” and appeals for the hastening of that “ Kingdom where justice, mercy and love shall rule the hearts and hands of men.”
