FRIDAY, JANUARY 2. 192. r >.
Yic are already planning and Imp
ing for a good New Year. It is sai"
-that the farmer who watches the
wea' her does not succeed a. well :ih
the one who watches his work The
same applies to ull othor businesses
and professions. The success that we
have is usually measured by the e'.
fort we put forth.
We have not fully recovered froi"
the war period boost We ;vre no! |
I
quite satisfied to make a small pro-1
fit on a number of things We simply
want to make big profits on a few |
things.
The year is at least full ot promise,
provided the people will meet the
tasks with a spirit of optimism an.l
determination. Eastern Carolina h: |
never had more than it has today .
The with riiij»iujr out lie
old year is that some of us s'art rim
ing too late. The time to start i
exactly 12 o'clock "midnight oi>-.l>e.
cember 3.lst or January Is'. Ring the
whole year through, give cheer to
all, small and large, poor and rich j
Seme of us remain in a dormant
state the year 'round exivp while

new. In other words, we are wide!

An observant said the other ,iay
that one thing he thought was e;-
. sential in seeing the new year in and
the old one out wa/ prayer To offer
a prayer of thank- during the las'
Usn minutes of the old year anl to
isr a prayer for health. |*'ace anil,
piness during the first 'en mini'-
of the new year "The minute.- of
yer have been exchange! for the j
[I game," he stated. To play th»
r out and the year in find
little more in between character
t the day.
Lome of us have been here a goodly
number of years. We have had our
battles, large and small, we have won.
we have lost, but -uch ; record is
better than one that marks to'id
failure. To get something out, we
have got to pu' something in If it
be small, a return of little worth w>ll
result. If we put'forth a spirit of
good cheer and happiness, the same
will be our reward. To sln-t off the
year with, if so and so would do so
.and so, I would do so and so, it will
terminate with you just where yju
were at the beginning. If you are a
member of the united sons of re*t
sad take your living frcm th=» efforts
of another, it would be better for all
concerned if you would go and rinv
out and in all at one time the length
of t life and die and be gone.
Is ft f he desire of the world for
audi to do such? No. But it is the
oaaire of those for such ones to join
ia the race and help to push humanity
to a higher plane instead of allowing
ft to drift with the four winds.

One thing to bear in mind is that
the weather has a great deal to do
with the year, but if we use our en
ergy to the vight end we can have
a lo*. to do with the, year also.

It is condition and quality rather than weight that decide whether a stew
is to be placed in the beef cattle classification. Within the class It Is condi
tion and quality thut largely determine the amount of {>roflt that goes to the
shipper Choice to prime steers bring from 75 cent* to $5.7T> per hundred
weight over the common light stock, according to a study made of lightweight
•deer* coming to the Chicago market by the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foun
dation,
The bulk of the shipments are classified under the grades of prime steers,
1,200 to 1,000 pounds; choice steers, 1,150 to 1,000 pounds; good steers. 1,180
to 1,000 pounds; medium steers, 1,100 to 1,400 pounds, and common rough
steers. I >OO to I,2M) pounds. These are the classifications of the United States
Bureau of Markets.
Prime beef steers are the Ideal type, combining exceptional breeding and
thorough finishing. Short neck and short legs, smooth flesh and well-filled,
bulging briskets are prerequisites. Crime beef steers are rare, even steers
good enough to grade as choice lire few They show most of the characteris
tics of the prlme grade, good breeding itnd long feeding, smooth flesh and thick
fat. On the block the quality steer will show a good proportion of red meat
covered with a Itiodest amount of smooth white fat. The lean, while firm of
texture, will be mellow to the touch. The carcass should carry down full to |
the hock, being highly marbled with bright lean of a fine grain. I
