American is apt to re-
Tgard his New Year as The
New Year. Had he a
penchant for celebrating
holidays he could travel In
1 a more or less leisurely way
around the world, and In the
jggL course of the year could
participate In six or seven
New Year festivities, adding a couple
of Christmas celebrations for good
measure,” according to a bulletin from
the Washington headquarters of the
National Geographic society.
“Our American might start his pro
gressive holiday jaunt by going to
some western European country for
the approaching New Year which the
United States too will celebrate. He
could then travel to Greece, Jugo
slavia, Rumania, or Bulgaria in time
for Christmas in those countries.
Christmas is also December 25 in the
countries named, according to their
calendars, but corresponds to January
7 in America.
“By remaining a week in the same
country he could also spend New
Year Day, called January 1, but cor
responding with the American and
western European January 14. By
pushing on and making good connec
tions he might be able to reach Singa
pore, or by supplementing steamers
with airplanes could reach China It

arrange to arrive
In Siam In time
for the Siamese New^Year on April
1, and afterward could have five
months of sightseeing before reach
ing Arabia for the Mohammedan
New Year on September 4. He could
then cross the Red Sea and make a
quick journey into Abyssinia to take
part In the New Year festivities of
that country on September 10. Re
turning to the Red Sea and taking a
steamer north he could easily reach
Jerusalem in good time for the He
brew New Year, October 3.
“The holiday hunter would now have
taken part in all the principal New
Year celebrations of the world and
could return to the Western hemis
phere to spend the Christmas with
which he Is most familiar at his own
hearth side. In six days less than
a year he would have chalked up
seven New Year and two Christmas
celebrations to his credit.
“The world’s multiplicity of New
Year Days and Chrlstmastides Is due
to the fact that our calendar Is largely
an arbitrary device. The earth re
volves around the sun In 365.2422 days,
which makes the true year a very odd
measure of time. And it Is almost
as difficult to choose a logical be
ginning for the year as it is to find
the starting point cf a circle. Different
peoples have selected different start
ing points and have also assumed the
year to be of slightly different lengths.
This has not only resulted In the
years beginning at different times
but has also caused the times of be
ginning to vary In their relations to
one another from year to year. It Is
as though a clock had half a dozen or
more hands all moving around the
dial from different starting points.
“The most logical starting points for
the year would seem to be summer
and winter solstices and the spring
and autumn equinoxes; and all of
them have been made to mark the
beginnings of the years In some parts
of the world. The Gregorian calendar
that is now In use In the United
States and throughout most of the
Christian world, Is the Julian calendar
slightly modified. When Julius Caesar
caused it to be

days long,
which was an ex
cess over the true year of 11 minutes
and 14 seconds. This excess caused
the nominal January 1 to creep
gradually farther and farther beyond
the winter solstice so that by the
time of the Church Council of Nice In
325 it was eleven days beyond the
solstice Instead of seven.
“By the time of Pope Gregory’s cor
rection in 1582, January 1 was 21 days
beyond the solstice and Christmas 14
beyond. If the calendar had re
mained uncorrected, New Year Day
would have gone on creeping forward,
first into spring, then into summer.”

Turning the Leaf
©, 1921, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate
"I have not found today so vain
Nor yesterday so fair and good
That I would have my life again
And live it over if I could.”
AIHE first conclusion that a
man arrives at when he
W thinks of the new year is
that he turn over a
new leaf, observes Laura
Jean Llbbey. If he’s single
he resolves that he'll cut loose from
the companions he has had —the jolly
fellows who are not just what they
ought to be. He makes up his mind
that he’ll quit turning night into day,
larking around until the wee sma’
hours and attempting to work the
next day. He makes up his mind he’ll
save money. Instead of going out with
the boys he’ll hunt up the nice girls
whom he knows and spend his eve
nings with them. From the many he
will choose one girl who shall be
nearer and dearer yet than all others.
He thinks he has had quite enough
of bachelor life —in fact that he’ll
marry and settle down.
The married man’s thoughts ard
along quite a different line. He makes
up his mind to cut down the number
of clubs to which he belongs and give
his wife the new cloak she has been
pining for. He will forego the stag
rackets that he has been accustomed
to join in, telling his wife that he’s
been to a prayer meeting. He con
cludes to give his wife a little more
pleasure in the way of outings, and
to pay her pretty compliments) to
keep her heart from withering alto
gether. He’ll cease sneering when she
speaks of her relatives and refrain
from treating them shabbily when they
pay her a visit
The father-in-law’s thoughts take a
different turn. After long and serious
thought on the subject, he concludes
that he will shut his eyes to his son
in-law’s peccadilloes, give him a help
ing hand instead of grumbling at the
manner In which he is keeping his
daughter; that he’ll not take sides with
either when a family row Is on.
The free lance concludes to cross
off all the married from his calling
list, and to turn his attention to the
women who are heart whole and fancy
free.
Th
e conductor on the trolley car
concludes that he will begin the new
year by stopping at Just the corner
that people want to get off at so that
he may gain the thanks of the trav
elers Instead of the upbraidings of
irate passengers who are obliged to
walk many blocks back.
The rounder who depends on the
lunch counter for his dally fare con
cludes that he will accept a job from
any man who is inclined to give him
a square deal. The gambler thinks he
will turn his attention from the tricks
of his trade because gambling is pro
hibited in his state. He thinks he may
pick up a nimble penny by becoming
a rousing revivalist —chasing the de’il
'round the stump. The milkman con
cludes not to stop at the town pump
for a drink, the dashing chauffeur con
cludes to put his name and address in
his identification book when he goes
joy riding.
But do you think that these men will
keep these resolves? It Is a good
thing to hope.

Farm Development Facts
It is believed that approximately ten thousand
acres of land have been cleared in Itasca county
during the year 1921. While no census has been
taken which would be an absolute verification
of this statement, the basis of the assertion is
obtained from the Itasca County Land Clearing
association, which this year had direct and in
direct supervision over the sale to Itasca county
farmers of 260,000 pounds of dynamite. While
the amount of dynamite used per acre cannot
be computed exactly, it is thought by those who
are very familiar with the subject that 26
pounds to the acre is an average use, though at
times much less is taken and many acres re
quire much more. If this average is used it
means that ten thousand acres were cleared.
If this is the case there has been more land
cleared in Itasca county this year than in the
five years preceding it.
Statistics of farm production show the status
of agriculture in the county. Itasca’s wonder
ful possibilities are shown in the possession of
1,800,000 acres of land of which less than ten
per cent are now in farms. The improved acre
age in the county was before this year approxi
mately 34,000 acres.
Dairying led the farm income , the average
from this source for each farm being $56.80.
Livestock ranked second, wood products third
and poultry fourth.
There is reproduced herewith a table result
ing from a careful farm census of the county
showing conditions at the end of 1920. Several
statements are of great importance and the
table should be kept for comparisons with con
ditions that may be found in future years.
