ALVARADO
SOLDIER BOYS ON

..relatives and near friends of their
safe arrival in New York. Anton John
son and Victor Edman landed in New
York Dec. 16th, from Queenstown,
Ireland. They both received a ten
idays' furlough, but as it would take
nearly that time to travel here and
,Back again, they decided to wait a few
weeks until they get mustered out or
receive a longer furlough. Both these
boys belong to the naval aviation ser
vice, having enlisted at Minneapolis
last winter where they trained for
three months before going across to
France where they were for three

Christmas Day has come and gone.
I hope you all have had a Merry Xmas
and now, I wish you all a Happy New
Year.
New Year, yes. the time of the year
when more resolutions are made and
later broken than during all the rest of
the year. But why, so many broken
resolutions? I think most of us make
them in too much of a hurry, without
giving enough serious thought. Every
time we make a good resolution and
break it we loose some of our self re
spect and confidence and it tends ever
downwards.
But every time we keep our resolu
tions we gain in self respect and confi
dence, giving as strength to keep on
climbing upwards for bigger and bet
ter things.
So, let our first resolution be simple
and as we grow stronger let our reso
lutions growand we will grow bigger
and better together.

FLORIDA HAS UNEQUALLED ADVANTAGES FOR
SUCCESSFUL FARMING AND LIVE STOCK
PRODUCTION.
Florida's mild, even climate the year round is one of its strongest
attractions. Sunstroke is practically unknown. Florida produces more
kinds of crops than any other state in the Union. Florida leads the
entire country in the furnishing of fresh vegetables for the winter mar-
kets of the North. Florida excells the world in the quality of its citrus
fruit, such as oranges, lemons, grapefruit Its location is ideal for stock
and poultry raising. 40*aeres of good Florida land, properly tilled, bring
more than 160 acres in the Northwest Our lands are located principally
on the main line of the Florida East Coast Railway and its Okeechobee
branch. Low prices, easy terms. Write for illustrated pamphlet

MARRON POWER
AND LIGHT PLANT
Superintendent of Water, Light & Power Dept,
WARREN,MINN. K**~^J&a*
Farm Lighting Plants have passed the experi
mental stage. Like the automobile, tractor and
other things which have become necessities on the
farm, the lighting plant has reached that stage in
its development where its permanency is assured,
its usefulness established. BUTjust as the first
small tractors proved insufficient for the average
farm's needs, so have the ordinary lighting plants
established the fact that a Farm Lighting Plant
must contain more than lighting facilities to be
thoroughly economical and profitable to use. It
must have, in addition, POWERAdequate Power
to do much of the work about the farm, diverting
those priceless hours of time and labor to more
profitable uses relieving the Housewife and all
hands from those tasks which consume time and
strength that can be more profitably employed else-,
where.
The MARRON POWER AND LIGHT PLANT
HAS ANSWERED THIS DEMAND. In compari
son with the ordinary plant, it can' be likened to
the modern tractors which are performing such a
great service for the farmer of today. It has
POWERADEQUATE Powerto take care of
much of the power work on the farm, as well as
giving the advantages of a superior lighting system.
