HUHINEHH IIBPOIITKD VERY HATIHrWOTOItY IN 10M In discussing business conditions with a few of tho local business mon of Hums The Times-Herald learns that in gonoral the year Just closing has bean a very satisfactory 0110. Though the volume of business, In somo lustancos, has not been up to expectations, overythlng considered tho year Just past has boon qulto successful. Hums expects a much greater vol umo of business during tho coming year with the extension of tho rail road and timber activities. It is oven expected that the irrigatloa projects will begin to improve and' additional business will be derived from this source. Heal estate has not boon moving in this vicinity to any groat cxtont for tho past year or more, but with tho oponlng of sprnlg It la hoped considerable activity will bo manifested In tho transfer of land. 192.1 also brought hotter live stork conditions nnd added much to tho prosperity of mon engaged In 1 that line of business. Sheep nnd i wool, ospeolnlly. brought n greater rot urn than had been expected and i cattle nro demanding a hotter price. Tho establishment of tho cream -cry luia glvott tho dairyman a mar ket for his product nt homo and with tho coming year this Industry will moro than double. With this will go a largor numbor of hogs and chlckons ralsod. Tho creamery Is ono of tho best assets to this com munity and It is gratifying to noto that the product of tho home con cern is becoming more popular as time goos on. With tho facilities to handle all the cream produced In this section tho prosperity of tho community Is that much enriched. Thero aro bright prospects for tho local packing plant being takon over by capital sufficient to make It ono of the big assets of this section, which will be anothor boon to the stock men. With facilities to take care of a large volume of baslaess more hogs will be raised and the lo cal cattle and mutton grower may have a home market for their flnloh cd product, thus saving them the ex pense and uncertainty of shipping to an outside market. The people of Harney county may well look to 1924 as the biggest In tho history of the country. IiAKGE FUH SALE Tho A. L.

An old year diet and a new year is born. It it invoice time. It it rime to measure profit and loss, failure and success. All check up accounts. What hat been gained or lost in the material thinga of the world. Have we enriched or impoverished our spiritual re sources? Whatever we have done with the closing year is done. None of us can rewrite the story. But a new chance is given to all to make the story of the new year what they will. We live in a country that was built upon the principle that all men are created equal. The dys peptic mind has been disposed to repudiate that doctrine, contending that education and opportunity are after all for a privileged class. However this may teem, the makers of our government denied no man the right to initiative and enthusiasm. Who ever shall ute these tools can pack hit way into any privileged class if there be such. ' Begin the New Year by warming up to an idea or an ideal. Light the wick of enthusiasm. Emerson says that enthusiasm is the passing from the human to the divine. The Greek word for enthusiasm signifies God withinus. Go to it. Let our resolves be DO rather than don't. The fulfillment of resolutions will save dis appointment, regret nnd remorse. J, E.
