The amount of money sent to mail order houses from every community in Nebraska and this western country is something enormous when you stop to think about It. Think of nearly three hundred dollars so contributed in one day by one small community not fifty miles from Columbus. You don't believe It? Then read below tbe article which appeared in a late issue of tbe Enterprise, John Kavanaugh's paper, published at Spalding, Nebraska. It good reading for the patron of the mail order houses; it ought to teach him that he is sending money away from himself when he sends it away from his friends.

It is also a timely warning to tbe home business man, who is the main competitor of the mail order house In his local advertising Held. Here is tbe story: "We understand that a short time ago there was sent from Spalding $280 in money orders in one day by various people to Chicago for goods. This money went to Sears-Roebuck and other catalogue houses aud will not again be placed in circulation, in this vicinity at least. We were somewhat amazed when we saw the figures as it is beyond our understanding how people could be so short-sighted as to do this. These catalogue houses pay no taxes here, do not help support the churches and schools, nor does tbe amount of business they do enhance by a single cent the property of the people of this community.

Bat with some tbe resolutions made with the dawn of a new year have been carried through to its close. Numerous lives of honor and achievement can be traced to some determination of purpose made upon an occasion such as tbe first day of tbe year affords for a fresh start in the journey of life. We all desire success; the problem of life is its winning. Every person carries in his or her own hand the key that unlocks either the door of success or failure. The true key of success is labor, and it requires a strong, resolute will to turn it.

It is bard, earnest work, step by step, that insures success, and never was this truth more potent than at the present time. Positions of trust and eminence are no longer secured at a single leap. Men and women have ceased to succeed in a hurry. The secret of many successful careers is the thorough performance of whatever has been undertaken. At the beginning of a glad New Year it is well to remember that some of the best things in life can be stored up only by the generosity which gives, asking for nothing again.

Such are warm affections, kind feelings, benevolent dispositions. Every service willingly rendered, every help gladly given, every effort to encourage the disheartened, to teach the ignorant, to lift the fallen, not only perform their intended work, but even more surely react upon tbe doer; they may or may not bring him the love, respect and gratitude of those he befriends, but they will infallibly bring brightness and sweetness into his own heart, increasing his desire and strengthening his power to do good, and storing up within him those dispositions which cannot fail to bless him while enabling him to bless others. We would have power In 1908 to bfTghten Each lot less blessed and fair than ours; The woe to heal and tbe load to lighten, The waste soul garden to plant with flowers. In theory, the exchange of New Year calls and Christmas gifts is a beautiful custom. The holidays Is a time when kindly feeling and universal good-will prompt a general manifestation of regard in the exchange of calls and presents.

"It is often supposed that the practice of maklug calls on New Year's day is a relic of the barbarous past and that it is dying slowly out," reads tbe Chicago Tribune of Jan. 2, 1873. "This appears to be unfounded. Never did the streets appear livelier on member and this alone, outside of the other considerations, should bring the blush to the face of the man who buys bis goods away from home.

Every young man who had saved enough money to secure a carriage or sleigh on that day took one, nnd calls were made with ceaseless regularity throughout the entire day." Here tho writer indulges in a little moralizing which contrasted the clerk nnd the millionaire. Of the clerk he says: "lie was engaged in the same occupation with his boss and was received in the boss' own circle of acquaintances with Just as much cordiality and warmth as the wealthy gentleman whose behests throughout the year he had tremulously obeyed. lie strayed from house to house, venturing into regions he scarcely would have dared under other circumstances to approach, for custom gives the lowly permission to enter on New Year's day where under other circumstunces his appearance would be an Intrusion. New Year's is the great leveler of shoddy-ism, for to stray into the elegantly carpeted domain of the rich parvenu after leaving the quiet cottage where the true nobility of culture and breeding is the only claim does sometimes place the ignorant nabob a little lower in one's estimation than one formerly thought possible." ued.
