Senator Borah, of Idaho, claim­ ing to be a Republican but more often offering aid and encourag- ment to the Democrats made a statement a few days ago in which he announced to have incorporated in the next national Republican platform a plank declaring for the enforcement of fhe eighteenth a- nient to the Constitution, which is as everybody knows the prohibi­ tion amendment. Senator Edge, of New Jersey, a- nother Republican, but of the stalwart kind, asked Senator Bo­ rah why he singled out the eigh teenth amendment and did not spe­ cify other amendments to the con­ stitution, notably the fourteenth aud fifteenth, which were flagrant­ ly violated in the Southern States. And would you believe it the Idaho senator professed ignorance of either of these amentuieuts ever being violated in the Southern States aud said that he would be glad to help enforce these amend­ ments if it were shown that they were being violated. Such ignorance on the part of Senator Borah is hardly under­ standable when everybody, .knows that the fifteenth amendment;.; to the Constitution is openly ^id|at|d in evert Southern State. As far as the Republican party in North Carolina is; concerned if the Democratic election machine will count the votes as cast aijd we are allowed a free and untramqiel led ballot there is no doubt- but what North Caroliua- would be found in the Republican column, It is the robbery of the votes of white Republicans in North Caro­ lina by Democratic heelers that rankles in the breat of the patrio­ tic Republicans and causes their passions to sometimes reach a white heat-. Give us free and fair elections in this State and all will be well. Union Republican. A Curious Situation. The anti-Al Smith resolution of the . Baptist State convention wsa brief and m ild'' It did not mention Smith and it did not discuss tbe state of prohibition or drinking or lawlessness of or any ot.ier of num- ous tempting bv-products. But it was there, and nobody doubts its meaning. And tbat reminds of a curious situation. Just prior to the meeting of the Baptist state convention was the Iiieeting of the North Carolina conference of the Methodist Epis­ copal church, south, and just prior to tbat was the meeting of the Western North Carolina conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, and just prior to that was the meeting of the Western North Carolina conference of the sume church. - ^he Vfeslern North CaroHpa conference, -which met :first, ..adopt­ ed without dissenting vote'a' vigor­ ous resolution, condemning the no­ mination of anyone who does not favor the 18th amendment. It a- dopted also, but as Bisliop Mouzon has explained the two should not be joiued in the headlines a resolu­ tion against smoking. One week later, the North Caro- | Iina conference met, transacted business over a period of several days and adjourned. But nowhere in the published reports of the North Carolina conference do we find any word Of a resolution a- gaiust Al Smith, - or against smok­ ing cigarettes. More than a week has passed, and no explanation has come. We confess to uncertainty as to what this means.' Surely the North Corolina conference is just as strong against Al Smith and smok­ ing cigaiattes as the Western North Carolina conference. But some­ how after the experience of tbe earlier conference is . neglected to say so. It would be interesting if somebody could explain why.— Greensboro News.

Well, perhaps the Press is using more truth thau poetry. The lights on the square are all burning and present an attractive appearance.

The 3 4 -page edition of The Re­ cord which was issued last week contained 2 ,14s inches of advertis­ ing;, which, we believe, is the largest amount of paid advertising ever carried in a single issue of a Davie county newspaper.

A sad accident occured about ten o’clock Friday night on the Fork road about two miles out of Mocks­ ville, when a Ford roadster owned and driven by Elgin Hendricks, of Bixby, ran off a ten foot embank­ ment and turned over twice, break­ ing Dennis Jarvis’ neck, death re­ suiting instantly.

The night was raiuy aud foggy, aud the driver was unable to see the road clearly. H egot toouear the edge aud the car left the road, turning over. Mr. Hendricks escaped unhurt.

B. John stone member of our Davie County Board of Education, as thousands of children under the age of 14 years are becoming victims every year. The Christmas Seal fund brings aid to many of these unfortunate little folks, so let us all halo to save “One of the least of these.” The officials of the. Tuberculosis Christmas Seal Sale deserve the sup­ port of every one in their praise worth; to make this annual event a success. The fund derived from the sale of seals go to a cause that no one can deny I think the Seal Sale deserves the Suppord of every good citizen says Ur John Sanford, "Christmas Seals save the tax­ payer money.” declared J.

The Tuberculosis Christmas Seal funds were used for food, care and instruc­ tion of these children.; This was done at no ex^ra expense to public.” Thanking ail for their. loyal sup­ port this year and in the past, we are entering into this year’s cam- paign with more good courage than ever before and feel thfit we will make of it the greatest success ever- before and feel that we will ma^e of it the greatest success eyf r- recorded in Davie county.

It was worth it,” he said. “Never saw her since, until in court, and I wouldn't have known her then, only slie introduced herself. Hie difficulty in the Powers family, »s Powers told it, was that Mrs. Powers tried to crowd him. An hour after the wedding, lie said, she asked Wm to deed or will his home to her. Mrs. Powers was in court, although siie had dismissed a cross-complaint. “I don’t want him to have a di- vorce, though,” she explained. “I don't want to be a grass widow, be- ciitise I always considered that a dis­ grace.” The marriage took place June IX, I®, and the separation the follow­ ing August 3.

MOTHER A Cross, Feverish Child is Bilious, Constipated Every mother realizes, after giving her children “California Fig Syrup,” that this is their ideal laxative, be­ cause they love its pleasant taste and it thoroughly cleanses the tender little stomach, liver and bowels without griping. When cross, irritable, feverish, or breath is bad, stomach sour, look at the tongue, mother! If coated, give a teaspoonful of this harmless, “fruity laxative,” and in a few hours all the foul, constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passesoutof the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. When the little system is full of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache, diarrhoea, indigestion, colic—remem­ ber, a good “inside cleansing” should always be the first treatment given. Millions of mothers keep “California Fig Syrup” handy; they know a tea- spoonful today saves a sick child to­ morrow. Ask your druggist for a bot­ tle of “California Fig Syrup,” which has directions for babies, children of ail ages and grown-ups printed on the bottle.

And the idea is not new; plenty of other men are as mean about widows as I am. The Hindus, for example, believe that when a husband dies his widow should kill herself, or, devote her en­ tire time thereafter to doing good. I do not go that far, and know how speedily widows recover from their grief, and become charming, but I should not care to love one.

Treasures in Wilderness Lost in the Caucasian wilderness In the village of Zugdidi, a palace of the former Dadiana princess, one of the oldest and wealthiest Georgian families and related to Napoleon and Alexander I, stands today practically as it stood 100 years ago in the hey- dey of those powerful rulers. In addi­ tion to much rich furniture of the period, some of which is said to have been presented by the French emperor, there is a collection of stone and bronze arms, Greek statuettes, ancient Greek coins, a number of skulls of untold value. The contents of the palace have been converted by Cau­ casian authorities into a museum, but owing to the inaccessibility of the mountain village few except Georgian peasantry ever visit it. More Realistic “Movies” Natural motion picture effects are claimed for a new camera whose mov­ able back, connected to the lens by a flexible bellows, is shifted about by a system of cams and levers while the pictures are being taken, according to Popular Science Monthly. The photo­ graphs are said to appear more real­ istic than ordinary “movies;” they show relative movement between the near and far planes of, the picture, such as you see when you move your head sideways, adding to the stereo­ scopic effect of depth.

The name Bayer is on every tablet, and on the box. If it says Bayer, it’s genuine; and if it doesn’t, it is not! Headaches are dispelled by Bayer Aspirin. So are colds, and the pain that goes with them; even neuralgia, neuritis, and rheumatism promptly relieved. Get Bayer—at any drugstore— with proven directions. Physicians prescribe Bayer Aspirin; if dees NOT affect the heart AflpIrIn is the trade mark of Bayer Mannfactnre of Monoacetlcacidester of SallcyIlcacUl Sick Headache Due to Constipation Every person who suffers with sick headache should be warned against becoming a slave to headache pow­ ders, pain tablets, etc. These agents may relieve the pain but they do not remove the cause, and their continued use may lead to serious injury to your constitution, especially to your heart and kidneys..Years ago Dr. W. L. Hitchqock proved that constipation is usually the cause of sick headache and he de­vised a simple, harmless vegetable prescription that is pleasant to take and most agreeable in its effects, yet removes the cause of sick headache and constipation without any consti­ pating after-effect. Ask your drug­ gist for Hitchcock’s Laxative Powder. You will find that it is delightful and by far the best remedy for sick head­ ache, sour stomach, foul breath and excessive' gas formation. 25c for S large box at any drug store.

Shirley was bom near Pikeville In the Sequatchie Valley of Tennessee. His father, Jesse Shirley, had come over from South Carolina and built a home In the then sparsely settled new state. Blackman was the ninth of fifteen Shirley children. His oldest brother lived to be 101, and several brothers and sisters almost reached the century mark. He told the interviewer, who recently took the accom­ panying pictures, that he started to work when he was 8 or 9 years old, helping his father carry the U. S. mail between BikevilIe and Jasper. He was 42 when the war broke out be­ tween the states, and when the Union regiment of the Fifth Tennessee Infantry was organized, he enlisted and served through several battles. In 1881, Blackman Shirley moved his family to Parker County, Texas, where he now resides with his third wife. His oldest daughter, Mrs. Sarah Fitts, is 85, and lives In Oklahoma. His youngest daughter, recently married, was bom when her father was 90 years of age. Mr. Shirley is in good health for a man of his age.In September, he was going about his home without assistance. His memory seemed remarkably clear.H m M R. ShiKLEY iSoys I “I consider Black-Draught the best purgative I have ever used. It is a wonderful medicine. Yeavs ago, in Tennessee before I came to Texas, I knew about Black-Draught, ai\d we used to keep it in our home, there. “Whenever I had a spell of indigestion, I would take a dose of it and the spell would soon pass off. That is almost fifty years ago. For several years after I came to Texas, I was troubled with indigestion. I had sour stomach and sick headache. Some days I would feel dull and my head felt heavy. I found that taking Black- Draught would prevent this, so I never allowed myself to suffer long. “Sometimes now I suffer from attacks of constipation. I always use Black- Draught when I have one of these spells, and it does not last long. I rarely take any kind of medicine, except an occasional dose of Black-Draught. It relieves constipa­ tion.

It was n o t until after Sammy had fnished his supper and the table was cleared and th e last dish washed and Put away in the cupboard, that Mr. Scliwenckton, followed by Aunt Eosy, returned to the kitchen.

So if there’s any more trouble and if things ain’t kept cleaner ’round here, I will send you packin’, now mind Tm tellin’ you !” Aunt Rosy, with a look of cold, con­ centrated resentment at Meely, turned to go instantly upstairs to her sister —but Mr. Schwenckton checked her by the simple, but effective means of barring her way with his brawny out­ stretched arm. “Not up there. I won’t have Susie worried no more tonight.” He pointed to the door opening from the kitchen into a small bedroom. “To your own room, Aunt Rosy.” She looked at him reproachfully. “So this here’s the thanks a body gets for leavin’ my own home and cornin’ here to work myself to the bone fdr yous—” “Yes, well, if you did work for us —but you don’t. You make my little childern do all. Puttin’ a little girl like Lizzie yet to the wash-tub! Yi, f yi, yi! Don’t you leave me hear of such a thing again!” “It’s her,” Aunt Rosy pointed vin­ dictively at Meely, “that makes you so contrary! Talcin’ your childern’s part agin your wife’s sister! And stand- in’ by a stranger that’s tryin' to keep your wife sick by washin’ her and openin’ windalis on her—” “That’ll do, that’ll do. Aunt Rosy.

I didn’t show it none, but for a minute there I felt dangerous! So,” he concluded, “don’t leave it happen again. And don’t go near Susie no more tonight.” Por an instant Aunt Bosjr wavered, as though weighing the possibility of defying her brother-in-law. But she knew the futility of .such an attempt He’d simply pack her in his car and run her back to her own home; that’s how he’d settle it So, with a parting glance of malice at Meely, she turned away and went to her bedroom. Mr. Schwenckton stooped and, pick­ ing Lizzie up in his arms as though she were a baby, carried her across the room to a big rocklng-chalf, where, folded to his breast, he rocked her until she fell asleep. Then, .very carefully so as not to waken her, he carried her upstairs and put her to bed. CHAPTER III It was at the heavy noon meal of the next day that Meely for the first time heard Mr. Schwenckton break his own rule against complaining at the table. “Ach, Aunt Rosy, these here flies is somepin awful! Susie she never has no flies when she liouse- keeps. And this here’s October yet! My first wife, neither, she didn’t have no flies. Leastways not In October yet! YVhy do you so leave the flies in? Couldn’t you manage with less flies?” “It ain’t my . fault that there’s flies. It’s that there fat farm-hand of yourn that gives flies in’fur me, still; fur when he goes out the door, he’s so fat he can’t get out quick and that lets the flies in.” “You’re always got a good excuse, aint, Aunt Rosy?” “But I don’t see, Mister,, why you ever got such a fat farm-hand that he gives flies in fur me and that he’s too fat to set in your car and drive it for you.” She diverted the conversation from flies. , “Yes, it is some onhandy that me and Absalom’s b'oth too big to drive our car easy. Us,” smiled the farmer, who liked his little joke, “we gotta set Ih the back seat and have such a chiffonneer! But, Aunt Rosy, blamin' Absalom for these here flies—no. That’s gcin’ too far. I don’t give you right. You better get after these here flies—” “Did Absalom tell you,” Aunt Eosy diplomatically interrupted, “who his comp’ny is that’s wisitin’ at their place?” This question proved effective In diverting attention from the flies. “Why, no, he didn’t speak nothin’ to me that they had comp’ny wisitin’ ’em,” said Mr. Schwenckton. “YVhat makes you conceit that?—that they have comp’ny?” “I seen a strange shirt on their wash-line this morning that I rek- onized wasn't Absalom’s. I didn't get time to run down and ast Missus wdiose the strange shirt was—what with all I had to do and Lizzie not helpin’ any,” she whined In a tone of deep. injury. “But this after, mebby, I’ll get time to run down.” “That’s funny, too, again—that they got a strange shirt hangin’ out and Absalom not sayin’ nothin’ to me about comp’ny,” remarked Mr. Schw’enekton reflectively. “But couldn’t the ‘strange shirt’ be a new one of Absalom’s?” Meely asked. “No, it ain’t Absalom’s size or color,” Aunt Rosy pointed out. “Do you know,” said Mr. Schwenck­ ton thoughtfully, “what I suspicion about that there strange shirt? I sus­ picion they’re got a boarder at Ab­ salom’s. like us. I guess Marvin Creighton’s boardin’ with ’em since his Pop turned him out I For, you see, this here township’s very handy in the center of all the schools he has to wisit Yes, I bet you that’s whose the strange shirt is! It’s Marvin Creighton’s! So then, Meely,” he joc­ ularly added, “you better watch your step, with the school superintendent livin’ right handy here In sight of us! On our own farm yet!” Meely stared blankly for a moment, without comment; then, pulling her­ self together, dropped her eyes to her plate.

It will materially help in the grasp of the lesson if brief attention be given to these chapters; therefore In the outline brief reference will be made to chapters 7 and 31 while con­ fining the main exposition to chapters 36 and 37. I. Isaiah's Message to Ahaz. 1. Prophecy concerning Immanuel (ch. 7). The occasion of this prephecy was an invasion from the north by Israel and Syria. This invasion greatly alarmed Ahaz. To calm his fearful heart Isaiah assured him that God's purpose concerning the nation would not fail. He urged the exercise of faith in God, offering to confirm his faith by working any miracle desired. YVhiIe with false humility he refused a sign the prophet announced the giv­ ing of a sign which would be the birth of Immanuel. 2. A promise of divine protection (ch. 31). Aliaz foolishly called for the help of Assyria and Egypt against Israel and Syria. Isaiah rebuked him for this, showing him clearly that his only help was in God. II. Judah Invaded by the Assyr­ ians (Isa. 36). 1. Rabsliakeh meets a deputation from Judah (vv. 1-21). He represented Sennacherib, king of Assyria, whose mission to induce Judah to surrender, method to accomplish this was: (1) Intimidation - (vv. 4-9). He tried to bully them into submis­ sion. (2) Misrepresentation (v. 10). He asserted that it was useless for theni to put their trust in God and even declared that the Lord had sent him to destroy Egypt (3) He tried to create a panic among the people (vv. 13-21). Fear­ ing sucii a panic the deputation of the Jews urged Itabsliakeh not to speak in the Jews’ language. (4) He promised them plenty in an­ other land (vv. 10, 17). 2. The report to I-Iezekiah by the deputation (v. 22). They rent their garments in fear and dismay over their perilous condition, for the crisis long before predicted by Isaiah had now come upon them. III. Hezekiah’s Behavior (Isa. 37). 1. Resorted to the House of the Lord (v. I). This is a sure retreat for God’s peo­ ple in time of distress (Ps. 73:16, 17; 73:13). This action was prompted by faith, for God had promised that whoever in time of distress resorted to His house would be heard by Him (II Chron. 7:15, 16). 2. Sent to Isaiah (w. 2-7). The natural and logical thing for the king to do under such circum­ stances was to send for God’s prophet. 3. Hezekiah’s prayer (vv. 14-20). Rabshakeh, who seems to have with­ drawn from Jerusalem for a little while, now returned from Sennacherib with a IetterwarningHezekiah against trusting God for deliverance, for no God was able to stand against the1 Assyrian army. He spread the letter before the Lord and prayed. (I): He recognized God’s threne. making it the ground of his plea (v. 16). I He reposed his faith in the lord­ ship of Jehovah, knowing that all power and authority resided in Him. j (2) He recognized the peril which , threatened the people (w. 17-19). (3) He asked for deliverance (v. 20). 4. Isaiah’s message to Hezekiali (w. 21-35). (1) That Sennacherib’s sin was blasphemy against the Holy One of Israel (vv. 21-23). (2) That Sennacherib had forgotten that he was an instrument In God’s hand (vv. 24-28). (3) That judgment upon Sennach­ erib was imminent (vv. 29-35). IV. The Assyrian Army Destroyed (vv. 36-38). The angel of the Lord went forth and slew in the camp of the Assyrians 1S5.000 men, so Sennacherib was turned back by the way he came.

A WORD ABOUT DIET There is no doubt that the Ameri­ can people like good -food- and are j. —nyrcr - - hearty eaters. ..... The French may be more clever in cookery, with their wonderful sauces and eco­ nomical dishes, the. Germans may be more thrifty, but Americans revel in more good food than any other nation. Most of our country is cold enough during the winter months so that such breakfasts are not too heavy fuel for such season. Nor are the rich pork roasts with stuffing, brown gravies, suet puddings, mince pies, candied sweet potatoes, escalloped oysters and fruit cakes, too hearty, If neutralized and balanced by a generous ration of green vegetables such as cabbage, let­ tuce, spinach and celery as well as fresh juicy fruits. The fresh green vegetables are needed to combat acid­ ity, which means rheumatism and other ills which always result from a too concentrated diet. Fortunately fruits are always In the market, there are no months of the year when the juicy orange and other citrus fruits are not to be pro­ cured. ’ Apples are becoming a fruit seasonable in the markets all the year. The citrus fruits, oranges, lemons and grapefruit are anti-acid In their effect on the system, slightly laxative and full of the precious vita- mines which supply “pep.” Every housewife should not fail to balance a hearty breakfast with a glass of orange juice or half a grape­ fruit YYheh eating luncheon serve a •ettuee salad with a hearty meal. Af­ ter dinner don’t eat candy, popcorn or nuts, but before retiring take an or­ ange or drink a pint of hot lemonade. It will give you a good night’s rest and a refreshed body In the morning. Hot lemonade shouldn’t be confined to people who have colds; drink it for health and often. It is a tonic and a cold preventive. Supper Dish.—Spread slices of rath­ er stale bread with butter, lay into a deep baking dsli, sprinkle with grated cheese and cover with two cupfuls of milk and two beaten eggs, with salt to season.. Bake until the custard is set Serve hot at once. To broil sweetbreads, cut the par­ boiled sweetbread after splitting it, sprinkle well with salt and pepper, then broil five minutes. Serve with lemon butter. Lard sweetbreads with salt pork, then roast, basting often with good broth. Serve when well browned. For the Family Table. Oysters are an important health food. Twenty years ago they were thought to be a delicacy, an ap­ petizer; but with little food value. N ow w e learn that its composi­ tion is of such character as to make it more nearly—than most foods—self-suffi­ cient as a diet The oyster resembles milk in this respect. One pound of oysters will furnish 7 per cent of the energy a man needs daily, 28 per cent of the protein, 35 per cent of tlie cal­ cium, 53 per cent of the phosphorus and 13.6 per cent of the iron. Recent experiments have shown that tbe raw oyster is rich In vitamineC, an essen­ tial element in the food for prevent­ ing scurvy. People living in cities, especially In winter, and eating almost exclusively of cooked food, need to seize every occasion that offers itself to consume food rich in vitamines. Moilusks, and oysters in particular, are, from this point of view,, a most valuable re­ source. Oyster CocktaiL—Have oysters very cold. Put not more than six in each cocktail glass and just before sending to the table cover with a dressing made in the following way! Mix to­ gether one tablespoonful of mushroom catsup, one tablespoonful of tomato catsup, one tablespoonful of strained lemon juice, five drops of tabasco sauce; add salt to taste. This quantity will make three cocktails. Serve with thin slices of brown bread and celery. Oyster Chowder.—Chop fifty good- sized oysters. Prepare a cupful of finely chopped celery In the bottom of a pan, then a layer of cooked rice and a layer of oysters. Season with salt and pepper. Repeat these layers, using two layers of oysters. Pour over one cupful of boiling water, and cook slowly for twenty-five minutes. Beat the yolks of two eggs with one cupful of milk; add this to the chowder, stir carefully and serve as soon as it be­ comes hot. Oyster Soup.—Take one quart of oysters, carefully drain, and look over for broken shells. But a quart of milk in a saucepan, seasoning of salt, butter and pepper and a bit of mace. Put the liquor which has been strained from the oysters with enough water to make a pint; when boiling drop In the oysters and cook just long enough to curl the edges. Add the hot milk and serve. sIUjU jLt YttfL Mothers, De This— Whentbe children cough, rub Mus- teroleon their throats and chests. No telling how soon the symptoms may de­velop into croup, or worse.

Drugs Excite the Kidneys, Drink Water Taka Salts at First Sign Cf Bladder Irritation or Backache C o n t r o l ? * * C o r n B o r o r f ThoAmerican men and women must guard constantly against kidney trouble because we often eat too much rich food. Our blood is filled with acids which the kidneys strive to filter out; they weaken from over­ work, become sluggish, the.- elimina­ tive tissues clog and the result is kid­ ney trouble, bladder, weakness and a general decline in health. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy,-full of sediment, or you are obliged to seek relief two' or three times during.the night; if you suffer witii sick headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or if you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, begin drinking lots of good soft water and get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts. Take a tablcspoonful In a glass of water be­ fore breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This-famous salts Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com­ bined with lithia, and has been used for years to help flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer are a source of irritation, thus often relieving bladder disorders.

The enemy is the “assassin of the corn field,” the “most dangerous ene­ my of Indian, corn that has ever ap­ peared in America”—the European corn borer. This enemy is an alien that first appeared on American soil in Canada in 1921. After ravaging the corn fields of that country and al­ most totally destroying them in the short space of six years, it sneaked over the boundry line and appeared in the United States. Ohio and Michi­ gan were the first states which it in­ fested and there the losses mounted to as high as SO per cent of'the nor­ mal crop. Before its presence became widely known, the pest had spread into New England and New York, through Pennsylvania as far south as Pitts­ burgh and into one corner of !Vest Virginia. Then it began to work farther west into Michigan, invaded the northeastern. corner of Indiana and within the last year it struck at the heart of America’s famous corn belt by appearing in Kankakee coun­ ty, Illinois. As the result of its opera­ tions an area of 3,000,000 acres, cov­ ering 10,000 square miles, has been infested and unless it is controlled, it is predicted that “the entire agricul­ tural map of the world’s greatest farm producing area will be changed.” Threat to Crops. If the corn borer threatened only the corn crop it would be bad enough. But iu striking at King Corn, this lit­ tle insect is a menace also to the very foundations of the dairy, pork, poul­ try and other farm industries. It is estimated that Si) per cent of the corn is fed to live stock and sold iti the form of meat, milk, poultry. Forty per cent of the corn is fed to hogs and 15 per cent to cattle. Last year these hogs were worth $1,060,000,000 and cattle ?1,105,000,000. The value of the poultry was estimated at $000,000,000 and the dairy products $1,515,000,000. Add to these the value of the corn crop itself, $2,000,000,000, and it gives the staggering total of $10,000,000,000 which the European corn borer is threatening to reduce. Of course, this does not mean that the corn borer can wipe out of existence that much wealth, but it is a potential danger to it unless the ravages of the pest are checked. Alarming as the situation has been, there is one ray of light in a recent statement by Secretary Jardine of the United Slates Department of Agricul­ ture that even though the corn borer might spread over the entire corn belt, by that time his department would have developed effective and eco­ nomical methods of control and the damage would be kept to a minimum. The Agricultural department has re­ cently completed a survey of the re­ sults of the $.10,000,000 spring control campaign in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Imlianai and Michigan authorized by congress. Although this survey shows one and a half times as manv 2 —, ’ !<***- . „-r m s-- M Z T S p S T fS ? J P h 'V , V f », , -V t- J ..c-.rf/tS&sA,! . . r ITT - & M I$,» I ttfI -PZrtfA.

The significance of this is shown in the remainder of Secretary Jardine’s statement which reads as follows: The reduction of the rate of increase in the num ber of borers this year indi­ cates the effectiveness of the control measures employed in the recent spring campaign, but these results also show most em phatically that the borer Is a real menace- The departm ent’s opinion continues to be th at the spread Df the borer to the entire corn belt is inevi­ table, and th at it is a situation to which the farm ers, the state departm ents of agriculture and the state agricultural colleges m ust adjust their plans. At the same time the control meas­ ures used in the spring were sufficient­ ly effective to lead the departm ent to believe that serious commercial dam ­ age to the nation’s tw o-billion-dollar corn crop can be avoided to a consider­ able extent. The results of the 1927 cam paign are due in a large m easure to the co-operation given by farm ers In the infested area in carrying out the clean-up measures recommended. The continuation of such concerted and vigorous action by all farm ers In the area in putting effective control m eas­ ures into practice is the only Immedi­ ate w ay in which commercial damage can be prevented. These measures include the destruc­ tion of all cornstalks, rem nants of stalks, and corncobs in the fields or near the premises, before the em er­ gence of the corn borer moth. Effec­tive methods of holding down the in­ crease in the num ber of corn borers m ust be adopted .into the farm ing practice generally or serious readjust­ ment of the present system of farm ­ in g in the corn belt area w ill become necessary, as has already occurred in Canada since 1923. The joint spring cam paign of the federal and state forces having demon­ strated the effectiveness of the control measures used in slowing down the in­crease of the num ber of borers, it is assumed that adequate control meas­ urers will be continued by the states affected. The departm ent will continue to co-operatc with the states ta scout­ ing to determine infesiation, the m ain­ tenance of quarantines and In provid­ ing for necessary research and educa­ tional w ork insofar as the regular appropriations of the departm ent for the purpose are available. Wew CtiIIetIn Oat. In furtherance of Its “Control the Corn Borer" campaign, the Agricul­ tural department Jms recently issued a bulletin for farmers on the subject of “The European Corn Borer—Its Present Status and MetJiods of Con­ trol" which contains the following ad­ vice on how each can do his share to help thwart the “assassin of the corn field” : The main effect at control of the corn borer in the Middle IVest should be directed tow ard the disposal of com refuse. Large-stemmed weeds or grasses grow ing in or along the edges of badly infested cornfields m ust also be de­stroyed. Infested plants may be dis­ posed of through any one of the fol­ lowing methods or by p. combination of such methods: (I) Feeding to live stock direct from the fletd, Or as silage, or as finely cut or finely shredded m aterial. (2) Plow ing under cleanly. (3) B urning completely. Each field presents a separate prob­ lem. In any case the clean-up method adopted w ill vary according to the farm ing practice used. The im portant thing to remember is that ail corn rem nants m ust be disposed of before the corn borer changes to the moth, or flying stage. Clean Up by May 1. For the sake of safety the clean-up should be completed by May I of each year. In fields which cannot be plowed or otherw ise handled effectively in the spring, special effort should be made to dispose of all corn rem nants during the fall. In case the corn is to be cut, it should be cut as low and as early as possible. Special low -cutting at-? tachm ents for corn binders m ay be purchased for this purpose. If corn Io to be cut by hand, a short-handled heavy hoe should be used because this perm its low cutting w ithout undue exertion. In case infested cornstalks are fed direct to live stock w ithout previous cutting or shredding, the un­ eaten parts should be destroyed unless tram pled deeply into manure. In ­ creased use of the silo and huskcr- shredder machines is recommended. If plowing is to be effective in de­ stroying the corn borer all thrash m ust be turned under completely so that plowed-under m aterial may not b© dragged to the soil surface by later cultivation before the m oths emerge. Clean plowing deprives borers of their natural shelter when they craw l to the soil surface after . being plowed under. Average plowing methods m ust be improved sufficiently to insure that all cornstalks and trash are turned under completely. N either depth of plowing nor tim e of plowing is im ­ portant for corn-borer control if a clean job is done and .material is not afterw ard dragged to the soil surface. In case the available plowing equip­ m ent w ill not handle standing corn­ stalks or high stubble, they should be cut or broken off a t the ground level, raked both ways of the field into windrows, and burned. This reduces the bulk of the m aterial Vo such an ex­ tent th at the rem aining parts can then be plowed under cleanly. B reaking or cutting off standing cornstc.lks at the ground level, followed by cl>an raking into windrows or piles, *nd clean burning are very effective methods. They may be made more Effective if the rem aining trash is plowed • under cleanly. Before June I of each year burn all cornstalks th at have been used for building shelters for live stock, for thatching, and for w indbreaks, and sim ilar purposes. This shoull also in­ clude surplus stalks stored for fodder and all stalks in and around barnyards and feed lots. Keep aU portions of corncobs out of shelled corn intended for shipping to points outside the infested aieas. Corn from badly infested fields Fhould be shelled not later than June " of each year and the cobs burned. Sar corn from such fields should be kept In a tight com partm ent or covered by fine- mesh wire screen to prevent the es­cape of the em erging moths. Disking cornstalks or hfgh-cut stubble is an objectionable practice in infested fields, because it leaves abundant shelter for borers. Foisons, trap lights, a ttrac­ tive baits or pasturing infested corn fields have not been effective in con­ trolling the- borer and are not recom­ mended. Control of the com borer depends upon community-wide effort. The corn .grow ers m ust help one another. Corn- borer moths fly from field to field. Com­ pulsory clean-up law s are necessary to secure the full co-operation of aU concerned.

Los Angeles.—Mine prospectors are excited by the announcement that the “I,ost Padre” mine has been re­ discovered In Los Angeles county. The mine is said to be situated on land belonging to Annie L. Rose, who for several years lias tried to relocate It. The mine, according to legend, was first discovered by an Indian. Rush­ ing to a nearby monastery he notified the “padres,” who organized an In­ dian tribe to work it. A creek was turned from its bed, a shaft sunk and mining operations begun. In three years deposits valued at nearly $1,000,000 were taken from the mine. Operations were brought to an abrupt end when a portion of the mine caved in, burying 15 of the In­ dians and frightening the others so badly they refused to return to work. TJie padres then sealed the shaft and allowed the stream to resume its old course. For years the mine remained sealed, but in. 1876, an Indian showed B. F. Bragg, a Kentucky prospector, where the mine was located in return for several horses. Bragg is said to have removed nearly $SOO.OOO worth of gold in two years. His work was brought to an untimely end when the foreman killed four men, including the Indian who had relocated the shaft, threw the bodies in the shaft find sealed it again, hoping to hide his crime. Bragg never attempted to reopen the shaft, but, before his death, told Miss Rose, owner of the land, where the mine was located. She has found backers and the work of digging up the base of the old creek, long since dried up, has started. FatkeFs 3-Time Dream Leads to Son’s Body Detroit.—A curious dream which persisted for three consecutive nights sent Charles Roberts, who lives on a farm near Romeo, to the Receiving hospital in search of his son, George, who had disappeared from home a week before. There, from hospital records, he found that the body of tlie boy hud been lying in the morgue four days among the unidentified dead. Young Roberts had never remained away from home before and when he failed to return after a visit to De­ troit his father became worried, but did not know where to look for him. Then he dreamed that George was in a big hospital. He gave little thought to the dream until it was repeated in every detail twice more. When he visited the Receiving hos­ pital to search for his son, hospital authorities assured him that they had no record of the boy. The father was so persistent, however, that the prop­ erty of the unidentified was examined and the property clerk found a locket containing the father’s picture, which tlie young m,an always carried, Mr. Roberts said. Hospital records then revealed that the young man Imd been taken to tlie hospital suffering from an undetermined poison and . had (lied without being identified. Misses $470 in Crowd; Finds ft Later in Gutter Union City, N. .I,—Grant Saddle- min of Union City was walking In Thirty-fifth street' among Iuneheon- Hour pedestrians here when $470 was taken or fell from his coat pocket. • He hurried to'police headquarters to report the loss. He outlined the course he had taken and told the location of the place where he dis­ covered his loss. He was told to go back to that spot and look for the money. He found the bills forty-five minutes later in a small puddle of water. Bars Spooning London.—There is -to be less spoon­ ing at the cinemas. The county coun­ cil has directed that private boxes at theaters converted into movie houses shall be kept' locked during perform­ ances. ' Too Lurid Manchester, England.—“Maria Mar­ ten, or the Murder in the Red Barn,” an old-fashioned melodrama, has been altered to meet the requirements of the police. Too many women fainted I Ir- No mother in this enlightened »«> would give her baby. Komelhing did not know was perfectly harmless especially when a few drops of plain Castoria will right a baby’s stomach and end almost any little ill. Fretful ness and fever, too; it seems no time until everything is serene. That’s the beauty of Castoria; its gentle influence seems just what is needed. It does all that castor oil might accomplish, without shock to the system. Without the evil taste It’s delicious! Being purely vc-geta- able, you can give it as often as there’s a sign of colic; constipation; diarrhea; or need to aid sound, nat­ ural sleep. Just one warning: it is genuine Fletcher’s Castoria that physicians recommend. Other preparations may be just as free from all doubtful drugs, but no child of this writer’s is going to test them! Besides, the book on care and feeding of babies that comes witli Fletcher’s Castoria is worth itn weight in gold.

A young woman in Ashe county a few days ago committed suicide by taking poison. She left a note saying that she was "tired of life.” She was o n ly'18 years old. “ As years go by she had hardly begun to live; she didn’t know what life was,” says the Statesville Land­ mark. But. the real reason for self-murder usually dies with the victim. The living may speculate but they can’t fathom it. Often there are causes wliicn may have produced iusauitv. They say sane people don’t commit suicide, but that may be questioned. In the fast life of the towns and. cities, where many young people get all the thrills early, are mentally and physically fagged at a time when life should be fresh and promising, one can understand the condition that might mbve them to say they were‘tired of life.’ Butthepace is not suppose^ to be so fast in the rural districts where the Asfce young womau became tired of life. There may have been disappointment, dis­ tress concealed from those about i'er. It is simglv the record of an­ other tragedy ” Come Soath Young Man? At the time when Horace ’ Gree­ ley gave his famous advice to . the young men of the east, “ Go west young man go west,” the western section of our country was in the embryo stage of development, but had begun 10 grow at a tapid pace. Nature had been liberal in pouring out her potentiolities upon the river basins and arid plains of the great western area, while the young adventurers from the east went forth into the new country with strong muscles stout hearts and a copious amount of abiding faith within themselves. Obstacles there were to overcome, to be sure, but nature never threw an obstacle across man’s path that she did not give him the strength to grow equal to it, to overcome it Thus did the wild rough face of the west blossom forth like the rose at dawn, and even the fields of dust and alkali today are cover­ ed with the green verdage of grow­ ing crops. Never was better' ad­ vice given to young men than the advice of Greeley at the time when it was given. But now there is being presented iu the gageant of American pro gress another act and the scene has changed from the barred cliffs, fugged peaks and alkali plains of the west to the forest of oak cy­ press and pine, the orange groves and cotton fields of Dixie. Here today is being brdtlght into exis­ tence the rebirth of the people. Here a metamorphosis in industrial social and rustic life is being effect- fed.- - Mencken’s Desert .of. -the-.-Eos: zart,” like the desert of the west in the older days, is beginning to bloom as genius after genius lifts head above the alkali. The South, long a section looked down, upon as an object or pity and commiser­ ation, is coming into her own. Commerce and industry is flourish­ ing here today as they are not flourishing in any other section of America. The mild temperature climate, the fertile soil, the wealth of forest material and minerals, the tremendous waterpowers . faci­ lities, all combine to offer men of faith and vfsion one of the greatest ODportunities ever olforded man. The slogan of the wise man-,to­ day is not to go west' but to “ Go South,” and if you are already in the south, stay there.—HickOry Record. If you cannot talk w ithout knocking, keep your tuoutb shut, Model Policeman Quits. Henry M. Dunham, who never made an arrest during his 15 years as a policeman at Toms River, N. J , has resigned. He will devote his time to a filling station and motor accessory store which he owns Dunham was in the navy during the war, and was returned to the force immediately following his dis­ charge. The reason he .never made an arrest was that he had a theory that most cases could be settled without recourse to such ac­ tion. He was especially courteous to tourists and visitors and that this was appreciated was attested by numerous gifts he received at Christmas and other days. What, Ho! From The Houston Post Dispatch The Methodist Church’s anti-to­ bacco legislation, wlieii appiied in North Carolina, is a. remindenjpf the rule laid .by. the superintendent of the public schools of Winston- Salem, the biggest city in North Carolina (W hat!) and the tobacco manufacturing center of the State, that any boy caught smoking or chewiug ‘’the filthv weed” . would ha subjected to a thrashing (H o ) L a n d p o jte r s a t th is office* Vehicles In The Dark. Drive after nightfall, almost any time, anywhere, and there appear automobiles with one headlight, no reat light, and sometimes no light. It is not noticed in the court reports that operators of these half-lighted, or unlighted, cars are brought to judgment; or if at all very-seldom. Adverting to Mr. Paul Leonard’s cimmehdable effort to get the roer chants to help educqte operators of horse-drawn vehicles to let a light shine in obedience to the command of Caesar and for their own safety. Human nature being what it is, it is improbable that many of the horse vehicle operators will light up, unless they become alarmed for their own safety, until the motor vehicle people come in a little near­ er too per cent, strong. The horse vehicle poeple are inclined to go their unlighted way not because their deeds are evil evil, but be­ cause they love darkness or because they have always gone that way. Also they know that the law re quiring them to light was passed at the urgent insistence of the motor­ ists, and so long as a considerable per cent of the latter are allowed to operate at defiance of the regula­ tions they wpafd impose on vehi­ cles drawn by beasts of burden the latter will take, to themselves the same privilege. They know the risk, of course, but like the motor­ ists the are willing to take a chance. They recent the attempt to compel them.to do something that :is ’hot enforced on all alike. That, at least,, is the way of humankind-:: .-folkssyiolate law not because they are lawless, of Have any special reason for frac­ turing statutes except they see others ignore the regulations with­ out harm to themselves and they follow suit because they demand equal rights, even in law-breaking.

Democrats Steal Ken­ tucky Offices. In the electton held on Novem­ ber 8, Kentucky elected the- Repu­ blican candidate for governor. Judge F. D. Sampson, by 32,1.33 votes over Becham, the Democra­ tic nominee. For several days after the elec rion an attempt was made to count in Beckham but Sampson’s ma­ jority was so large enough stealing could not be engineered to accom" plish the desired end. Although the Democrats had ab­ solute, control of the election ma­ chinery in Kentucky they immedi ately began to yell fraud and as a result have succeeded in counting out the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor and counting in, instead James Bieathitt, Jr., the Democratic nominee by a seat 159 votes over E S. Nelson, Re­ publican. We beieve as much as we be lieve the sun will rise tomorrow that every Republican on the State ticket in Kentucky was elected and the Democrats of that State should be ashamed of themselves trying to thwart and overturn the will of the people But that is what the Kentucky Democrats are noted for—stealing elections. Several years ago they stole the governorship from the Republicans aud seated William Goebel instead of W. S. Taylor who was rightful­ ly elected. ’ ' Last spring the Republicans car­ ried - the - city'of -L«uisviile-.hut. .a- Democratic Supreme court ousted the Republicans and placed the de­ feated .Democrats in office through appointment of a Democratic gov­ ernor. Is it any wonder that Kentucky is characterized as “ the dark and bloodly ground"? Some of these days the Republicans are going -to be so strong in Kentucky that any Democrats that attempts to over­ ride the will ot the people and steal' steal an’ election will meet the peo-' pie and steal an election will meet the fate of William Goebel. Al­ though he was enough he Was., counted in hever got to serve as governor of that great State.— Union Republican. . ’ They are trying again to cut the price of school books, which is a- bont as tough cutting as is ever en­ countered.—Greensboro News. ;niim wnHiiiiuiinm m »rct»* FOR CHRISTMAS THE NEW ORTHOPHONIC VICTROLA The gift that keeps on giving through the whole year.

Caudle, a Stanly county farmer the past week sold five bales oj cotton to a mill at Albemare and one bale brought 30 cents a pound. It was a long staple, measure 1 5-16 inches. Mr. Caudle realized 2.6 cent a pound for his No. 2 long staple, and 25 cents for his short est grade which measured I 1 rS inch. The variety which brought 30 cents was Delta Webber No. 1. That which sold for 26 cents was Delta Webber No. 2 and it all goes to show that quality in farm pro­ duce still counts. Do You Know?

She breathed of violet, she gleamed with diamonds and platinum. Her kiss fell Iite a snowflake on Ellen’s flushed warm face. Ellen’s clasp left a hint of (lour on the silken sleeve. They treat into the house together. As Ellen beheld Luella sitting in the old morris chair in the midst of the shabby living room a strange feel­ ing cauie over her. It was as if she lad put 011 a pair of glasses which wealed everything—the cracked wall­ paper, the thread-bare rug, the sag­ ging chairs, the pin-holed shades, these things bad been there before biit she had never seen them. Now He did see them in all their ugliness, with all their meaning of poverty and narrow liviug. And in the midst of Iliem sat Mrs. J. B. Gridley in French gray smelling of Parisian perfume, an exquisite figure of wealth, culture, nil the choicest things of life. With a murmured excuse she hurried back to her kitchen. Luelia's letter had come as a sur­ prise a few days before. She had OTitteu that she was motoring with a party of friends and must of neces­ sity pass near her old home • town, She would steal away for a few hours wul come to see her old friend and schoolmate, Ellen, who was the only person there with whom she still kept up a friendship. Her swift car driv­ en by her Belgian chauffeur could whisk her there and back before her absence would be scarcely noticed by her companions. And she would still have, time for a little visit With the happiest heart Ellen had prepared for Lueila. And now—she stood looking at the custard in the earthen bowl. What would Luella say to the bowl? It might even spoil the custard for her. It took all Ellen’s courage to set the earthen bowl of custard upon the table. The rest of the supper was correspondingly plain and homely, yet deliciously cooked and flavored. She hade her friend come to the meal. “We are alone because Tom and. the boys have gone fishing, “Ellen explained, as she poured the tea. "they always go fishing Saturday— help yourself to the omelette, dear.” Her spirits rose as she saw the abun­ dant portion Luelia took upon her plate. , . • At last it was time to dish the cus- lard. Ellen saw Luella thoughtfully regarding the earthen bowl. The eol- ar rose Iiigher in her cheeks, but she chatted bravely. Without doubt Lueila liked the cus-. lard. In fact, she asked for a little Bore. Afterward the two friends sat on the snmll porch and watched the eve­ ning shadows gather over the town, hi the grass below a ring of golden daffodils shone and the air was scent­ ed from the boughs of the old spruce, they talked of the old days, mention- ®8 this one and that one. Ellen could wish all the little histories whose be- Smfings Lueila had observed. “And Rollin Meek?” she asked at length. “Oh, Rollin is a fine man I He mar- *jed EmHy Lewis.

But—It's been twenty- six years.” Her voice had a queer little sound. Suddenly she turned and laid her hand over Ellen’s as they sat side by side in the porch ham­ mock. "Tell me,” she said, earnestly, “have yon ever been sorry that you didn’t marry George Warren?” Ellen’s laugh was a sufficient answer. “I see George once in a while,” Lueila said. “He looks, thinks, talks money. My husband calls George a great finan­ cier. AniF you might have had him!” “Pd rather have Tom,” replied El­ len, earnestly. “I thought so at the time—I still think so.” “Tour earthen bowl—” began L11- ela, then paused. “I know,” Ellen turned quickly, her •mind on the custard. “I didn’t think. I’ve made custards in that earthen bowl so many times—it didn’t occur to me—” . “Oh, my dear!” Lueila laughed with a half sob. “I didn’t mean, that earth­ en bowl—I never thought of it. In fact,. I never noticed it, but the cus­ tard was delicious. A poem I read the other day made me think of it! it wits .one of those personal, Intimate poems that might have been written to or about any woman, I can’t re­ peat it but it was about a married couple in simple circumstances of life, poor, perhaps. Don’t you see? Their life looked like an earthen bowl, but into it they had passed the full meas­ ure of their happy love, so that the bowl became a wonderful thing, a rich, lovely thing full of rainbows. ■ Do you--get my meaning, Elien ?’’ “Yes,” Ellen breathed. “Oh, yes!” Her heart was high, her pulse sang, her eyes were like the joyous eyes of a young girl. What a beautiful thing for Lueila to say! An earthen bowl—her married life! Yet love had filled it with rainbows. How thank- fat she had married for love and not, a3 she had beqn tempted for this world’s goods as represented by George Warren! An earthen bowl— full of rainbows! She must tell her dear Tom— , But in the wonder and delight of what Lueila had revealed to her she was forgetting Lueila. She looked at Lueila, with her beauty, her exquisite attire, and a question burst from her lips: “If mine is an earthen bowl, dear, yours must have been of silver.” “Silver, yes,” Luelia’s voice was low. “But empty—empty—empty—” P r in te r s E n e m ie s o f T y r a n ts a n d H u m b u g s Tyrants and humbugs would have everything their own way in all coun­ tries Hf it were not for printers, Charles Dickens once said. He paid that tribute to typesetters 63 years ago when he acted as chair­ man at the annual meeting of the Printers’ Pension corporation, which recently held its centenary in London. Dickens was twice chairman of this' corporation, in 1843 and again in- 1864, and on the last’occasion said: “The printer is a faithful servant, ndt only for those connected with the business, but for the public at large, and has, therefore, when laboring un­ der infirmity and disease, an especial claim on ail for support Without claiming for him the whole merit of the work produced by his skill, labor, endurance and intelligence, without him what would oe the state of the world at large? “Why, tyrants and humbugs in all countries would have their own way. “I am certain there are not in any branch of manual dexterity so many remarkable men as might be found in the printing trade. For quickness of perception, amount of endurance and willingness to oblige, I have ever found the • compositor pre-eminent. The printer Is the friend of intelli­ gence, of thought; he is the friend of liberty, of freedom, of law; indeed, the printer is the friend of every man who is the friend of order—the friend of every man who can read.” P u m a U k e d O ld H o m e Back and forth, forth and back, paced the puma.

S I iIi anfo ^fausT % M By ELMO SCOTT WATSON HRISTMAS WOUld not be Christmas w ith o u t S a n ta Clans.' But who is Santa Claus and why his nam e? Whatever name he is called—S a n ta Claus, St. Nicholas, S t Nick, or Eriss KringIe—he is the personification of the Christmas spirit and the symbol of childish faith. Santa Qiaos, originally Sinterklass, the pet came of the Dutch children for their friend and gift-bringer, Bishop St. Nicholas, came to America J>y way of New Amsterdam, now New York. December 6 was St. Nicholas ■day, and on S t Nicholas eve he was fcelleved to make his rounds on a fiery white charger, leaving gifts for good .children and a birch rod for the bad •ones in the wooden shoes or long blue stockings which they put in the chim­ ney corner. When the Dutch customs began to merge into the English in the colonial days, the observance of S t (Nicholas day gradually merged in- to the Christmas and New Tear’s holidays. Soon after the Rev­ olution Sinterklass began to change and to become Santa Claus, an Amer­ ican character. Instead of being a tall, solemn person with long robes, popular tradition made him a fa t jol­ ly person wearing knee breeches and Bhpes with Dutch buckles. He also began making his rounds in a little wagon drawn by a fat pony, and his Tlsits occurred on New Year’s eve in­ stead of December 5. Washington Irving had something to do with the change in Santa Ciaus, for in his “Knickerbocker’s History of New York” he wrote a description of this friend of the children which fnade him look much like the Santa of today. However, it remained for Eev. Clement Clarke Moore, professor of oriental literature in the General Theological seminary, to describe Santa Claue minutely and to give him eight reindeer and ,a sleigh for mak­ ing'his: rounds on Christmas eve. in 1822 Professor Moore wrote- the now- famous poem, which he called “A Vis­ it from S t Nicholas,” but which is better known as "The Night Before Christinas," as a Christmas present for his children. A niece who was at the Moore home that Christmas copied the poem into her album. The next year it ap­ peared anonymously In the Troy (N. X.) Sentinel and was widely A s p h a l t Long in Use Iiuclt In the days .of the ancient Knmerians, the Assyrians, the Per­ sians and the Egyptians, they were waterprooling their boats and castle walls with asphalt; they were making pavements with it; they were creat­ ing enduring monuments with it and probably, most important of all, the Egyptians had found In it the' sub­ stance which enabled them to pre­ serve for alt time their marvelous The Night Before Christmas WAS Qie night before Ghristmast when, all through the house JjSZp Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; /a 0 1 m stockings were hung by the chimney with care, Sk In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds. While visions of sugar»plums danced through their heads; And mama in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap— • Wllsn out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter* Away to the windotf I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon, on the breast of the new-fallen snow.

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled and shouted and called them by name: “Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! on, Cupid, on, Donder and Blitzent To the top of .the porch, to the top of the wall! Now, dash away, dash away,-dash away alll'* As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky, So, up to the house-top the coursers they flew. With a sleigh full of toys—and St. Nicholas, too. And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. He was dressed all In fur from his bead to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes' and soot; A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a pedler just opening hts pack. His eyes how they twinkled! his dimples bow merry I His cheeks were like roses, bis nose like a cherryg His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow* The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth. And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath. He had a broad face, and a little round belly That shook, when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly. He was chubby and plump—a right jolly old elf— And I laughed when I saw him, In spite of myself. A wink of his eye and a twist of his head Soon gave me to Imow I had nothing to dread— He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work. And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, And Iaymg his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose. He sprang to his sleigh, to'his town gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle; But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sigbtt uHappj Chrlstmu to all, and to all a good-nlghfl” —Clement C.

Inman has been popularly dubbed the successor in public interest to the dapper and youthful Matthew Kirnes1 who has been condemned to die for murder, but to the undisccrning eye of the law he is just an escaped con­ vict. Inman’s elopement with the daugh­ ter of a penitentiary warden, a brief attempt to reform and two subse­ quent and spectacular escapes from custody have set him apart from the run of unimaginative outlaws. Jewelry Store Clerk. Ten years ago Inman was a clerk in a jewelry store at Arkansas City, Kan. For embezzlement from the store he was committed to the Kan­ sas penitentiary at Lansing.

D e a f M a d e i to u H ecarn T h r o u g h F in g e r T ip s Tlie discovery that the human skin’s ability to detect rapid vibra­ tions’ is much greater than has pre­ viously been supposed has been made by Dr. Eobert H. Gault director of the vibro-tactile research laboratory of Smith college. Doctor Gault has been engaged for several, years in ex-; periments to enable the deaf to hear through their finger tips by touching a telephone receiver. Previously sci­ entists have supposed that a vibra­ tion faster than 1,600 times a second was too fast to be detected by the skin. According to Doctor Gault, how­ ever, these touch organs can detect vibrations as fast as 2,700 a second. Though many of the vibrations of the voice are more rapid than this, ,“oo,” for instance, as pronounced by- the average male voice being about 3,800 a second, and “ah” 3,682, Doctor Gault says that if the skin can receive vi­ brations as rapid as 2,700, it is amply sensitive to understand speech. The discovery was made with an instru­ ment called the “teletactor,” designed and built for his-use by the Bell tele­ phone laboratories in New York city.

CHAPTER III— C ontinued —6— "But,” said Mr. Schwenckton, puz­ zled. “you must know how to scliool- teiu'li when you’re a grad-ynte of Kurztovvn Normal yet! Well, I guess anyhow! Us we don’t elec’ no teacher to our William Penn that ain’t got her Xonnai school diarploma.” “Oli. yes—well, but—yes, of course,” Meely concluded in some confusion. She p'.finced surreptitiously at Aunt Rosy—and found, to her discomfort, that site was being regarded with a look of cunning suspicion. “Say!" suddenly spoke up Rosy. “Have you got such a Kutztown Nor­ mal school diarploma?” “Why—why, of course—why, of course I have.” “Mister," she demanded of her tirotlier-in-law, “did you ever see her diarploma?” “Aeh, Rosy, what’s over you? To be sure, she had to send her diarploma along with her application and her pliotygraft when she wrote for the job liere at our William Penn. Tour photygraft," he said to MeeIy1 "don’t favor you much. You’re a lot prettier than that there photygraft.” “It’s funny,” answered Meely, “how my photographs never look like—nev­ er do me justice,” she amended her remark. Again she found Aunt Eosy’s little cunning eyes boring like gimlets .into tiers. • * • s ». » * MeeIy Schwenckton seemed to her­ self, these days, to be ever walking In fear. Tet never In all her young life had she found existence so exhilarat­ ing, so tense with interesting sus­ pense. It was not really fear, she decided, only a thrilling apprehension that hung over her every minute of the day and night; an apprehen­ sion which even if realized could not really bring harm to her, only awk­ ward embarrassment “But somebody else would feel more awkward and embarrassed I” she smiled to herself. However, this apprehension, fol­ lowing her ceaselessly, was a bit nerve-racking; and the startling knowledge just acquired that Marvin Creighton (her “Steady Date’s” brother!) stood over her as the school superintendent and was therefore bound to make her acquaintance very soon, greatly augmented her sense of the danger of her situation—a situa­ tion brought about less by her own plotting than by a succession of for­ tuitous and unforeseen circumstances. 1'ever would she have had either th e. audacity or the Ingenuity to have ar­ ranged such an extraordinary chain ot circumstances. “Up to now, -I’ve always held fiction to be stranger than truth—but never again.’ If I were a novelist I’d never have the cheek to make np such a lurid and improbable yarn as I’m Iiv- inS'." she amazedly told herself. “If J offered it to the movies I’m sure they’d consider it too true to life to be convincing.” If either of the Creighton brothers should ever see her In the other’s company I Or if S t Croix discovered she was the district teacher, instead ®f the ignorant cow she feigned to JeI Or if any of the Schwenckton family discovered her meeting with S t Croix or any of the other things about ™r which they were congenitally In- caPable of suspecting! it was just three days after her last rMdezvous with S t Croix that one afternoon at a quarter past four, school having been dismissed and her Plain tailored school dress having ‘)een changed right here in her empty scliooijvr-om for the fancy,, cheap M ery ia which she always disguised “wself to meet her “Date,” that she came out of the schoolhouse and Jfter locking the door and biding the "'Cy under a stone, glanced cautiously, uD and down the road before stapling elen HTMartin for the distant hilltop where St,- Croix would be waiting for her. For she intended again today to keep him waiting. Last Monday* she really had been at their meeting place long ahead of the appointed time and, having been curious as to bow he would treat her tardiness, she had, on his appearing In the distance, hidden In a clump of bushes and watched him; his restless impatience, Uie eager light In his eyes when once he thought he heard her coming; and then his childish maneu­ vers to deceive her—Iiis descending the bill, skirting the base and climb­ ing up again on the other side in all that mud! How she had enjoyed her­ self watching him! Evidently Marvin was not such an ass as St. Croix. “From, all accounts he sounds like the Noble Army-of- Martyrs-Praise-Thee! Which is worse, I wonder—to be a bounder or to be so uncomfortably noble?” It certainly did sound uncomfortably noble to be willing to live at Absalom Puntz' when you could live in the much more comfortable home of the Creightons. For Aunt Eosy’s Investigations had proven Mr. Schwenckton’s surmise correct—Marvin Creighton was board­ ing, for the time being, at Absalom’s cottage on the Schwenckton's farm, which fact added considerably to Meely’s uneasy apprehensions. As she strolled on her way to her meeting with S t Croix, in the lovely October sunlight, she wondered wheth­ er she should amuse herself with “lur­ ing" Marvin as she was "working” St. Croix (for other reasons than her amusement). Marvin might not be such easy game; they said lie de­ spised girls— “Probably he's afraid of them! Or he doesn’t know any nice ones of the Noble-Army-of-Martyrs style. Could I wort tiie noble stunt, I wonder? Risky! Might get my two roles mixed up! Better keep off Marvin!” it was just as she came to this con­ clusion that suddenly, with a jump of her heart she saw him emerge' from a lane on the road ahead of her and, turning In her direction, come straight toward her on the highway In a long swinging stride. She recog­ nized him by that stride, for she bad seen him that morning going across the Schwenkton’s orchard to Absa­ lom’s cottage. Tliat strong, free gait of bis would have arrested attention anywhere. How different' from St". Croix’ dapple prancing. Suddenly she realized that she dared not let him recognize her In . this rldicnlously festive frock she was wearing, for as he was bound to meet her soon in her school room dressed in her own character, the contrast would make him suspicious. But how to elude him? The highway offered no escape. She wore no hat that she could pull down over her face. And he was almost up with her! In desperation, as they were about to pass, she raised both her arms to fuss at her hair and thus conceal her face. • But through the crook of her left arm she saw that she might have spared herself the trouble, for he never so much as glanced at her; ap­ parently so engrossed In his own thoughts that he remained quite un­ aware of the passing of a pretty girl! “Well!’’ she breathed in mingled surprise and pique, for she was used to young men’s looking at her as they passed. “Never batted an eyelash at me!” She had caught a glimpse ./of his face and the rest of her walk to the hilltop seemed all too short for the interesting reflections aroused there­ by. For she had perceived the re­ markable fact that Marvin and S t Croix Creighton looked extremely alike, yet totally unlike; alike in feature and coloring and unlike in countenance. S t Croix* smugness was here replaced by a rather wistful mel­ ancholy; S t Croix’ cynicism by an ex­ pression of grave kindliness; St. Croix’ scornful pride by a look of genial humor; S t Croix’ keenness by a reflective. Inquiring expression touched by bewilderment Of course, all this was not revealed In a passing glimpse. But a great deal of U un­ folded to her consciousness as, Wfiiltt she walked, she continued to o& the mental Imago she had caught, *1 a face so arresting as to make that of his brother, whom she was going- to meet, seem by comparison insignifi­cant So absorbed had she been, as sh# loitered along, that she forgot all about St. Croix1 annoyance if he were kept waiting for her. So that, when- turning a curve in the path up the hill, she suddenly saw him standing there above her, looking coldly of-, fended at her tardiness, it brought her up with a sharp start The ex­ pression of his face made her feel more like turning tail and going back than going on to the top. “Just imagine,” she thought as she toiled up the rest of the slope, “being married to such a. disposition !—to a man who’d take It out of you so when­ ever things didn’t suit him exactly!1* She smiled inwardly as she thought that if she were a girl whom he want­ ed to marry, he would surely never so reveal himself to her. “He’d surely have the sense to hide, not flaunt, his selfishness and ego­ tism and show me a better side’ of himself; for of course he must have a better side.” Probably with his own class of people, his own family, he was quite different; she bad surmised from things he had unconsciously be­ trayed that he adored his mother and would die before he would hurt her; that he greatly honored his father; and that though he almost liated bis elder brother, he respected him. “So you’re actually here, are you?’ he ironically greeted ><sr as she stood before him, looking !ike Magdalene, the Penitent. “Oh, but Mr. Creighton,” she plead­ ed, "my stepmom’s SG- bad, she can’t set and she can’t lay! This here wasn’t no gay-low day for me. now mind I’m tellin’ you, with Susie so pooi Iy and all! I near broke my neck gettin’ here!” “I suppose you mean gala day? Dcn’t, my child, use words you're not sure of. Well,” he added, grinning appreciatively, “if Susie can’t even cackle, maybe, she’ll soon be croak­ ing.” She did not laugh this time, fcilt gazed at him blankly. “And I. was up so late last night,” she continued her excuses, “that I was near too tired to come this here three miles this after.” “You poor child! Tou mean you were sitting up with your sick step­ mother?” “No. Widower Holzapple he’s set- tin’ up with me Thursdays.” “What? Hoirapple? Who’s he?” uAch, such a old mas as old as Pop yet, with three fstf-growed chil- dern. Pop’s awful pleased, for Hl Holzapple he’s fixed and owns his own place cfcur. But, you see,” said Meeiy is an injured tone, her eyes anxious, “he never says straight out he wants to marry me, he just insin- yates that way. He’ll set for an hour without passin* a remark—just set- and me tryin’ to keep atrake. And then, ail of a suddint he'll shoot off a remark—‘My chiMern says, now Pop'*! never be lonesome no more.' Or he'll hitch his chair closer to me and say, ‘My childern are pleased;' Or if he sees my bead noddin', I’m that sleepy, he’ll wake me with the remark, ‘Char­ lie will give us a weddin’ dinner over at his place.’ But. you see, Mr. Creighton,”1 she complained, “it never leads up to nothin’! He never gets furder’n insin-yations. He never yet held my hand oncet nor even tol’ me my eyes were pretty." “But how could you marry an old man with grown children?" asked S t Croix disgustedly, taking his usual seat on the broad, fiat stone and mo­ tioning her to hers a few feet away. “Look here, you’re not seriously thinking of marrying that old man — what's his name 7 HoIzappIe ? Are you?” he demanded. “I gotta marry somebody. What difference is it?—seein’ I can’t marry the one I like!” she mourned. He hastened to divert her from this dangerous snag. “Come'here to me." She obeyed him eagerly. “See what I’ve brought you.” He produced twoi packages from behipd the stone. With childish acquisitiveness and a touch of Pennsylvania Dutch acquisi­ tiveness, she opened the box of a dozen ornate handkerchiefs (so ornate she had to check a laugh at sight of them; he had evidently judged her taste from her blue volte IrocK trimmed with artificial flowers; she would keep one for a souvenir end give the rest to Lizzie—how Lizzie would adore them!). But her pleasure In his other offering, a live-pound box of candied fruits, was not assumed.

Historians relate that many of the world’s most famous men. Including Napoleon. Lincoln and Socrates, were henpecked. One of the letters writ­ ten by Napoleon to his wife, Jose­ phine, ends with the postscript: “A thousand kisses-—as burning as yours are frosty.” Lincoln, it is Mid, was henpecked because he was tea shy. Count Mont- eeles the German biographer of Lin­ c o l n , declares that Lincoln’s wife loved him superficially, her own selfish am­bitions predominating, adding that she constantly pecked at him and almost drove him mad. The duke of Marlborough, one of Winston Churchill’s ancestors, and ac­ claimed as one of the greatest warriors of his day, was madly in love with his wife, who, however, nagged him all the time. In 1704 he wrote to his wife on the eve oT. a battle: ■‘Tm not nearly as much afraid of my 60,000 foes as I am of you when you are mad at me.” Next day, with Prince Eugene of Savoy, he won a big victory over the forces of Louis XIV- of France.—New Tork Evening World. he KITCHEN I CABINET I ((e). 1927.

Oysters are one ot the few animal foods which contain carbohydrates. They are consid­ ered almost a per­ fect fo o d , lik e milk. When cook­ ing oysters for «tew, they should be put into their own liquor and re­ moved the moment they are plump and the edges are '•urled. Oyster Fricassee.—Drain, wash and noil the oysters in the liquor, using fifty oysters. Put two tablespoonfuls •if butter into a sa cepan, add two tiiblespnonfuls of flour.

FlTZWATBBa D.D., Desa Moody Bible Institute et Chicago.) «&, 192?. Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for December 18 ' REVIEW:THE EARLY PROPHETS OF ISRAEL GOLDEN TEXT—God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in times past to the fathers by the proph­ ets, hath In these last days spoken by His Son. PRIMARY TOPIC—WhftC We Have Learned This Quarter. JUNIOR TOPIC—Great Men and Great Teachings ot the Quarter's Les­ son. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP­ IC—Lessons from the Early Prophets. TOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP­ IC—The Mission of the Prophets. The method of review must always be determined by the genius of the teacher, the aptitude of the pupils and the particular grade In the school. For the adult classes Uiree1 methods are suggested. I. Biographical. During the quarter six great prophets have been under review, namely, Elijah, Elisha, Amos, Hosea, Haggal and Isaiah. Assignments of these characters to representative members of the «i#ss should be made the week before so that they may come prepared to present the vital characteristics of these men. II. Application of the Prophetic Messages to Modern Life. Assignments should be made the preceding Sunday so that the members of the class may come prepared to make application of the vital mes­ sages of the prophets to the affairs of modern life. The following ques­ tions may be considered as represent­ ative: What application can be made of the prophets’ teachings as to: (I) The land question in the United States, (2) ■ the problem of pauperism, (3) the problem of capital and labor, (4) light on the theological contro­ versies of the present time, (5) a message for tbe modern woman, (6) the cause of prohibition, (7) modern amusements, (8) modern church life. III. A Summary of Facts and Teachings. Lesson for October 2. The basis of decision as between Baal and Jehovah was that the true God should answer by fire. The lead­ ing lesson is that accepted service is the supreme test, enabling men to choose between Christ and heathen gods. Lesson for October 9. .Elijah, wbo was brave before Baal’s prophets, was -frightened by Jezebel’s threat and ran away. He failed at what bad been his strong point Lesson for October 16. Ahab coveted Naboth’s • vineyard. Jezebel schemed to destroy Nabotb so that Ahab’s petulant desire might be gratified. Judgment fell upon both Ahab and Jezebel. Lesson for October 23. A prophet is one wbo speaks forth God’s message. When Isalab had a vision of tbe Lord and was cleansed from sin, he was ready to go at tbe divine bidding. Lesson for October 30. Amos was called from tbe humble occupation of a shepherd and trades­ man to fill the prophetic office. God Is not dependent upon any school or system of training for the supply of His workers. Lesson for November 6. Though the nation had grievously sinned by worshiping Idols, oppress­ ing their fellow men and persecuting tbe prophets who spake against them, God invited them to return to Him. Lesson for November 13. Israel’s apostasy was illustrated by Hosea’s unfaithful wife. In spite of their wickedness God loved them and pled witb them to return unto Him. Lesson for November 20. Isaiah pointed, out tbe moral state of the people, exposing tbeir ingrati­ tude, stupidity, and habits of evil, and showed them that although God bad severely chastised them, their case was not hopeless. Lesson for December 4. Isaiah reminded Israel of God’s pe­ culiar favor under the figure of a favorite. vineyard. He pointed out the sins which brought their ruin. Tbe outstanding sins were oppression of the poor, drunkenness,'proud self- conceit and perversion of justice. Lesson for December 11.

New Tork.—A sister who, to save her'younger brother from the electric chair, gave up her job and turned de­ tective, offered In court the evidence she bad gathered to help the brother obtain a new trial. The girl Is Theresa Weiner. Her brother whom she described as “the baby of the family,” is Robert Weiner, sentenced to die in Sing Sing for the murder of. Warden Peter Mal- Ion, of Tombs prison. . - • ’ Malion and a guard iyere killed during an attempted jail break last November. Weiner was convicted of having furnished a pistol to one of tbe four prisoners who attempted to escape. ■ Weiner denied having supplied the pistol and while he admitted having been in tbe vicinity of the prison, contended that he had driven away from there a half hour before tbe shooting occurred and that his car had bumped with a taxicab. His sister said she spent weeks scouring New York for the chauffeur of that taxicab, interviewing hun­ dreds of them. Finally she found Albert Giller, who testified th at. he was the man sought She said she had not realized the gravity of her brother’s plight until he had been sentenced. Then ’ she took her savings to hire a lawyer and gave up her job to devote her time to gathering evidence to save Robert from death. P a r a c h u te J u m p e r Is S a v e d b y S h o e S tr in g Coffeyviile, Kan.—Clinging only to "a shoe string under the wing of an airplane after his parachute had failed to open, Johnnie Howe, twenty- three, Coffeyviile pilot won a fight against death 1,000 feet above tbe fair grounds here. From a plane piloted by Jay Sodow^ skj, wbo participated In the New Tork-Spokane air derby recently, Howe was to make a leap that would climax an afternoon's entertainment. Over the fa ir’grounds he swung out over the lower wing and pulled a shot stting bow knot to open tbe parachute bag. Three feet below the wing he was jerked to a stop. Only one side of the bag bad opened. Then the shroud cords fell from the bag and became hopelessly entangled about his body. For tbe bag to have opened then would have spelled dis­ aster. Carefully, Howe climbed upward and grasped tbe loose end of tbe shoe string, which was whipped away several times by the rush of wind before he could wrap it around his band. Witb tbe string cutting into bis hand, Howe pulled himself upward, grasping the canvas bag and then the edge of the wing. Almost exhausted, Howe rested himself momentarily with his, chin on the edge of the wing as Pilot Sodow- sky, who had had a similar, experi­ ence before, held the plain steady. Then Howe climbed to safety on the wing. He was suffering from nervous ex­ haustion when tbe plane landed, and bad to be carried to a motor car.

L. RoUtiso j , pastor of D uncan Memorial Methodist church, Charlotte, told his congre­ gation. Mr. Robinson chase as the sub­ ject for his serm on, “ Prohibition and Al Sm ith ’ ’ “ W e can’t keep prohibition and elect Al Sm ith president of the United States,” Mr. Robinson De­ clared. “And now is the tim e to begin to defeat him. I am a Dem ocrat, but if Al Sm ith is nom inated to run ou the Democratic ticket this will be one tim e that I shal vote, a Republican ticket for pre­ sident. It is not a m atter of one party against another— it is a m at­ ter of the forces of righteousness lined up against the forces of the devil. “ W e need to teacher our people more about the consequences in­ volved and more about the way to keep the wets from gaining ground against the jaw .” T he opposition to prohibition is based, the speaker said, on just one thing," the des’re to get d ru n k .” but other reasons aie pat forward by opponents as “ plausible and decent excuses for th eir op­ position.” T he argum ent for a “ larger alco­ holic content” as a substitute for the present law was instanced as bearing out the m inister’s argu­ m ent th at, basically, all-opposition is due to the desire to “ get drunk.” Governm ent control was likewise discussed and declared impractical.

Any Fool Can Quit. W hether you are a day laborer or prerident of a big company, of­ fice boy or superintendent of a large plant where you have over­ sight of m any men, you are sure to couie to the point sooner or later when things will not go to suit yon, when everything seems out of joint, and yod will be a very unusual per­ son if the first thing you think of is not to throw up your job. This is very time and the very place where you will need self-con­ trol. Just remember that auy fool can quit his job but the one who sticks, when it looks Ijke the fates are against him, and makes a suc­ cess of his job, overcoming every obstacle to do, is the man who wins in the long run. H e is a genius. T aere are unpleasant occurances in every job be they big or little; there are obstacles to be overcome by all who would rise above the w ork which a person can do with his hands, w ithout the use of the head; and the extent to which a person meets these conditions phi­ losophically w ith a smile instead of a frown will m ark that person's degree of success. If a man control himself when he feels like saying, “ I will quit,” be will so be able to control condi­ tions which m ake him want to quit.— Union Republican. Are You Looking For A Position Or A Job. W e fear too m any have a mis­ taken idea about the d u tie s'o f a -job. They regard a job a m eaning hard work and a position as a soft snap w ithout anv hard gruelling work—good pay and short hours If they expect to keep climbing to better things they will find that w hether it is a job or a position, advancem ent comes by hard work, close attention to duty. Some may secure posstions but will not retain them unless they m ake good, w ithout giving the best they are capable of giving. Older people pie can tell them that w hether it is a job or a position, work is invol­ ved to win success. To successfully fill auy position will mean work. N xcutives of big commercial orga­ nizations more often work harder than the average day laborer. More than one president of the U nited States has succumbed from the strain of their work. No mat-, ter w hether you have a job or a position, you are going to find work if you succeed. W hatever you do, give it the best you have in you and you will advance to the position more surely than by wait- iug for a positiou to seek you.— Etow ah Enterprise. Fred N. DayjS Store News.

Saying, W here is he that is born K ing of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and we are come to worship him. 3. W hen Herod the king had lieard these things, he was troubled, and all lerusalem with him. 4 . A nd when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where ,Christ should be born. 5 A nd they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judjea: for thus it is written by the prophet. 6 . And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. 7. Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, en­ quired diligently what tim e the star appeared. 8 . And lie sent them to Beth­ lehem, and said, Go and search dil­ igently for the y o u n g child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also: 9 .

A nd being warned of God in a dream that.they should not re­ turn to Herod, they departed into their own c -untry ant ther way. 13. AnU when they were de­ parted, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Josepj in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his m other, and flee into E gypt; and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. 14. W hen he arose, he took the young Child and • his m other by night, and departed into Egypt. 15. .And was there until the death of Herod: that it m ight be fulfilled1 which was spoken of the Lord by th e prcphet, saying, Out of E gypt bare J called my son.” — M att. 3 : 1-15. ; NOPAPERNEXTWEEk A s has been our custom for the past 2 0 years, there will be no paper issued from this office next week.

I The Birth of Jesus'(vv. 1-7). 1 Jesus’ birth foretold (Mic. 5:2). Qnlv a little while before the ful­ fillment of this prophecy which i,vas made some seven hundred years be- f0‘„c there seemed little likelihood that Mieali’s words would come true. ,TeW mother was miles away from Bethlehem in Galilee. God moved thq emperor to enforce the decree of tax- ulfon which brought Mary to the vil- Inee at the proper time. 2 Jesus’ birth announced to Mary and Joseph (Luke 1:26-3S). Gabriel, the archangel, sent by God to tl'ie little town of Nazareth to Mary, a Jewish maiden who was betrothed to a carpenter in the village by the name of Joseph, solemnly announced Ihat she should give birth to the Mes­ siah and that this son should not be Joseph’s, but the child of the Holy Ghost (Matt. 1:18-21). Later the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph also, making to him the same an­ nouncem ent and added that the child should he called Jesus, which means Jliat Jehovah will save His people from their sins (Matt. 1:21). 3. The. prediction fulfilled (v. 7). This took place at a most opportune time. It occurred when all systems of religion and immoral worship were tottering upon their foundations, therefore most suitable for the intro­ duction of the gospel. The whole world being under the power of the Itomnns who then ruled it, made It possible for Christ’s ministers to go from city to city and country to coun­ try unmolested. We can be assured- that the Almighty rules in the whole universe and is never tardy in His administrations. II. Jesus Birth Announced to the Shepherds (vv. 8-14). 1. To whom (v. S). Jesus' birth was announced to the shepherds who were beeping watch over their flocks by night The fact that the glorious message was first sounded forth to them show s'that poverty is no barrier to its reception. Their humble station in life and their being busy with common duties did not prevent them from hearing this glorious message from God. Moses, Gideon, Amos and Elisha were all called of God from the activities of life. He never calls lazy people. 2. By whom (v. 9). The first gospel sermon was preached by tin angel of the Lord. We thus see them interested In men and having part in the announcement of God’s plan for their salvation. No doubt the angelic beings earnestly .sympathized with fallen, sin-cursed man. 3. The nature of the message (vv. 10,11). It was good tidings of great joy. It was good tidings because the dark­ ness of heathendom, which had so long covered the earth, was beginning to vanish. The casting out of Satan, the prince of this world, was about to take place. Liberty was soon to be proclaimed to those who were in bondage. The way of salvation was to be open to all. No longer was the knowledge of God to be confined to the Jews, but offered to the whole world. Truly this was glorious news: so glorious that a multitude of the heavenly host accompanied this an­ nouncement with tbeir song of praise. III. The Shepherda Investigating (w. la, 16). Tliey did not stop to argue or raise questions, though these things were, uo doubt, passing strange to them. They went immediately to Bethlehem, where they found everything just as represented. They had the privilege of first gazing upon the world’s Sa­ vior, the very Lord of Glory. They returned with gratitude in their hearts, praising God for all these won­ derful things which He had-revealed unto them. IV. The Shepherds' Witnessing (VV. 17-20), They found things as announced by Ihe ungels. When they beheld the bord of Glory they could not remain “lent, therefore went back praising God. Those who really hear the gos­ pel message cannot be silent Those who really hear the gospel must tell It out to others.

CENSUS F ir s t C o u n tin g o f N o se s W a s D o n e b y M o ses. Washington.—AU Turkey stayed at home one Pridayrecently while 50,000 officials took the first census of the Ottoman empire. “Turkey has made up for tardiness by asking questions far more thorough than appear in the famous first census of history,” says a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the Na­ tional Geographic society. “ 'Take ye the sum of all the con­ gregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names every male by their polls; from twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war In Israel.’ “Thus spoke the Lord to Moses, and Moses, with Aaron’s assistance, col­ lected the figures for the first census report, which may be found In prac­ tically every home and hotel room. It is appropriately entitled lNumbers,’ the fourth book of the Bible. “By its breadth of scope the census William of Normandy ordered for his new kingdom of England, resembles modern surveys. He commanded his minions in 1085 A. D. to record every lord and peasant, every acre, every ox, every mill, every manor, every weir and every plow, the value there­ of and—this Is forward looking—the natural resources, woods, fields and streams capable of development and revenue. The report to William the Conqueror became the Domesday Book, unreadable today except by scholars, yet protected in the public record office at London as one of the most precious possessions of England. Russia’s First Count in 1897. “The United States, although a newcomer In the ranks of civilization, was one of the first nations to estab­ lish the modern periodic census. Swe­ den took the lead before our first cen­ sus in 1790, but England, France and Prussia did not see the necessity of regular counting of noses until ten or twenty years later. Bussia took no census until 1S97. “Deeply religious settlers of Amer­ ica nearly upset our first census when they harked back to another less fortunate Bible census. ‘Satan stood up against Israel,’ our ancestor^ point­ ed out to the marshals, ‘and provoked JDavid to number Israel from Beershe- ba even to Dan.’ What happened? 1God was displeased; therefore he smote Israel.

Washington.—Discovery of two deer bones painted red is a bit of evidence that Indians who lived in America 2,500 years ago placed food in the grave? of pet dogs so that they would have bones for their journey in the next world. The deer bones were found beside the skeletons of t .vc pre­ historic dogs by Dr. F. H. H. Rob­ erts, Jr., of the bureau of American ethnology, who has just returned from an archeological expedition to Cbaco canyon, N. M. The dogs appear to have been buried with ceremony by the Indians, said Doctor Roberts in discussing his expedition. Whether the dry bones were painted red to fool the dog spir­ its into thinking there was good meat on the bones can only be conjectured. The dogs belonged , to Indians of the last days of the basketmaker civiliza­ tion that flourished in the Southwest many centuries before the Pueblos, he said. Very ancient tribes are known as the bnsketmakers because they wove all their vessels and containers. In the course of centuries pottery- making was learned. .Definite evidence of the 'Indians who lived at the time when the change from baskets to pottery was made was discovered by Doctor Rob­ erts. Fifteen skeletons were found in two layers of earth. The burials in the lower level had no baskets or con­ tainers for food, such as have been found in similar burials. The baskets here had evidently fallen apart and disintegrated from exposure before time covered them with earth. But in the layer of earth above them were bodies accompanied by crude clay jars and bowls. These skeletons of (he transition period are of great interest to ethnol­ ogists who are studying the types of Indians who inhabited America in the days before the time of Christ. Complete pieces of four bowls which could be patched together, even after so many centuries, were found by Doctor Roberts, as well as quan­ tities of fragments of the rough, coarse clay containers made by the first artisans of the region who tried the potter’s trade.

Berlin.—It was immediately after the. war, in those hectic days when everything turned upside down in Ger­ many, that the name of Countess Co- lonna was first heard, and the conn-, tess herself was first seen in the cir­ cle of young aristocrats who tried to forget the grim realities of life by in­ dulging in wild orgies in the night cabarets of Berlin, while in the streets were rattling the machine guns of the revolution, says the S t Louis Post- Dispatch. Nobody knew exactly who she was. No titled family with the name of Co- lonna lived In Germany, and the only Count Colonna known in Berlin was an elderly man living temporarily in Switzerland. Countess Colonna said she was the daughter of this man and the younger bloods who swarmed around her did not bother to investi­ gate. She was of matchless beauty, with brilliant blond hair and large, radiant, hypnotic eyes. Her figure was of artis­ tic perfection and her long, shapely hands suggested aristocratic lineage. Men who came In contact with her were spellbound by this demoniac beauty; Had Luxurious Apartment. She had a luxuriously furnished apartment in one of Berlin’s fashion­ able quarters, lived on a grand scale and seemed to be the queen of a gay circle which always formed a body­ guard around her when she visited the night clubs or cabarets. There was nothing aboat Countess Colonna to arouse suspicion of the po­ lice regarding her life or her activi­ ties. It was one of the worst periods of lawlessness in the history of the Ger­ man capital. Robberies, holdups, bur­ glaries, murders were all In the day’s work and the police could hardly cope with this sudden crime wave. One gang particularly caused worry to the Berlin police, a gang of ns- toundingly bold criminals who com­ mitted an incredible number of hold holdups and burglaries. The victims of this gang were invariably persons of high social standing, rich men who gambled for big sums in clubs and per­ sons whose apartments were full of treasures. A special squad -of detectives was assigned to the case, and Albert Dett- mann, famous leader of the detective force, personally headed the investiga­ tion. Every effort, however, had failed, when chance led to the uncovering of an unexpected sensation and the solu­ tion of the first Colonna mystery. One night, it was in the spring of 1919, the same gang, which had robbed so many homes and apartments, plun­ dered the house of one of the best- known Berlin art collectors, a man of liigh social position and a bachelor, who had been seen many times In the company of the Countess Colonna. His priceless paintings, antique rugs and golden statuettes were thrown out of the window by the burglars, whose ac­ complices waited outside in an auto­ mobile. They must have made too much noise, for a policeman became suspicious, ran to the house and ar­ rived there just as the burglars jumped into the motor and sped away. Police Arrest Baron. One of them, however, was not quick enough. This man was captured and brought before Herr Dettmann, who was amazed to learn that his burglar was a Baron Reichenberg, de­ scendant of a rich and titled family. The young man refused to answer Dettmann’? questions and his behavior was such that Dettmann summoned a physician, who established the fact that the young baron was acting un­ der the influence of some Irresistible force. All Dettmann was able to squeeze out of him was a telephone number. It proved to be that of the Countess Colonna. It developed that the victim of the latest robbery was in love with the beautiful Colonna and had an appoint­ ment with her on the same night that his apartment was robbed. The count­ ess had promised to visit bim and asked him to send away his servants, because she did not wish to be seen by anybody. Later In the evening she called up, saying that she did not feel well, and asked the enamoured art collector to call at her home. When he returned he found his apartment robbed. Tbe young baron under ar­ rest finally confessed, and .the other members of the band, including Co­ lonna, were captured. “Countess Colonna,” it turned out, was a Berlin girl, the daughter of an architect, whose parents died during the war, leaving the young girl pen­ niless. Her name was Ella Bach. She was beautiful, had a fine voice, and because she had always wanted to go on the stage, she tried her luck with, one of the cabarets of the German capital. WhUe she was not a great success on the stage, her conquests in the field of love were decisive. Men who saw this beauty fell madly In love with her. O bliging D uelist -in Ja il Oldenburg.

PRESIDENT VIEWS NATIOtrSAFFAIRS C h ie f E x e c u tiv e D e a ls W ith P ro s p e rity a n d P e a c e in M e ssa g e to C o n g re ss. Washington.—The test of the Presi­ dent’s message, in part, delivered to congress, follows: , It is gratifying to report that for the fourth consecutive year the state of the union in general is good. We are at peace. The country as a whole has had a prosperity never exceeded. Wages are at SlieIr highest range, employment is plentiful. Some parts of agriculture and Industry have lagged; some localities have suffered from storm and flood. But such losses have been absorbed without serious detriment to our great economic struc­ ture. Stocks of goods are moderate and a wholesome caution is prevalent Bates of interest for industry, agricul­ ture and government have been re­ duced. Savers and investors are pro­ viding capital for new construction in industry and public worts. The pur­ chasing power of agriculture has in­ creased. If the people maintain that confi­ dence which they are entitled to have in themselves, in each other and In America, a comfortable prosperity will continue. Stern Self-Denial Ia Urged. Without constructive economy In government expenditures we should not now be enjoying these results or these prospects. Because we are not now physically at war, some people are disposed to forget that our war debt still remains. The nation must make financial sacrifices, accompanied by a stem self-denial in public ex­ penditures, until we have conquered the disabilities of our public finance. While our obligation to veterans and dependents is large and continuing, the heavier burden of the national debt is being steadily eliminated. At the end of this fiscal year it will be reduced from about 526 ,600 ,000,000 to about $17,975,000,000. Annual inter­ est, including war sayings, will have been reduced from $1,955,000,000 to $070,000,000. The sacrifice of the people, the economy of the government, are show­ ing remarkable results. They should Ibe continued for the purpose of re­ lieving the nation of the burden of interest and debt and releasing reve­ nue for internal improvements and na­ tional development : Not only the amount, but the rate, of government interest has been re­ duced. Callable bonds have been re­ funded and paid, so that during this year the average rate of interest on the present public debt for the first time fell below 4 per cent Keeping the credit of the nation high is a tre­ mendously profitable operation. The immediate. fruit of economy and the retirement of the public debt Ig tax reduction. . ■ The annual saving In Interest be­ tween 1925 and 1929 is $212,000,000. ,Without this no bill to relieve the tax­ payers would be worth proposing. The three measures already enacted leave our government revenues where they are not oppressive. Exemptions !have been increased until 115,000,000 people make but 2,500,000 individual !taxable returns, so that further re­ duction should be mainly for the pur­ pose of removing inequalities. The secretary of the treasury has recommended a measure which would give us a much better balanced sys­ tem of taxation and without oppres­ sion produce sufficient revenue. It has my complete support Probable Surplus Small. Unforeseen contingencies requiring money are always arising. Our prob­ able surplus for June 30,1929, is small. A slight Uepresslon in business would greatly reduce our revenue because of our present method of taxation. The people ought to take no selfish attitude of pressing for removing moderate and fair taxes which might produce a deficit We must keep our budget balanced for each year. That is the corner stone' of our national credit, the trifling price we pay to command the lowest rate of interest of any. great power in the world. Any surplus can be applied to debt reduc­ tion, and debt reduction is tax reduc­ tion. Under the present circumstances it [would be far better to leavie the rates as they are than to enact a bill carry­ ing the peril of a deficit This is not j& problem to be approached In a nar-' Jrow or partisan spirit AU of those who participate in finding a reason- , able solution wUl be entitled to par- .tldpate In any credit that'accrues Krom it without regard to party. The ■ssmgress Jtas already demonstrated $hat tax legislation can be removed tarn purely political consideration the realm of patriotic business pmclpies. Any bill for tax reduction should be written by those who are responsible for raising, managing and expending the finances of the government For National Defense. Being a nation relying not on force, but on fair dealing and good will, to Maintain peace with others, we have provided a moderate military force In a form adapted solely to defense. It should be continued with a very generous supply dj officers,and with the,present base of personnel, subject to fluctuations which maybe temporar­ ily desirable. The five-year program for our air forces is In keeping with this same policy and commensurate with the no­ table contributions of America to the science of aeronautics. The provisions of the law lately enacted are being executed as fast as the practical diffi­ culties of an orderly and stable de­ velopment permit. While our army is small, prudence requires that It should be kept in a high state of efficiency and provided with such supplies as would permit of its immediate expansion. Our navy is likewise a weapon of defense. We have a foreign commerce and ocean lines of trade unsurpass& by any other country. We have outlying territory in the two great oceans and long stretches of seacoast studded with the richest - cities in the world. We are responsible for the protection of a large population and the great­ est treasure ever bestowed upon any people. We are charged with an In­ ternational duty of defending the Pan­ ama canal. To meet these responsibilities we ’ need a very substantial sea armament. We can plan for the future and be­ gin a moderate building program. We have a considerable cruiser ton­ nage, but a part of It is obsolete. Every one knows that had a three- power agreement been reached it wouM have left us with the necessity of continuing our building program. The failure to agree should not cause us to build either more' or less than we otherwise should. A rapid growth is taking place In aeronautics. The Department of Com­ merce has charge of the inspection and licensing system and the construc­ tion of national airways. Almost 8,000 miles is already completed and about 4,000 miles more contemplated. Near­ ly 4,400 miles is now equipped and over 3,000 miles more will have light­ ing and emergency landing fields by next July. Air-mail contracts are expected to cover twenty-four of these lines. Daily airway flying is nearly 15,000 miles and is expected to reach 25,000 miles early next year. The importance and benefit of good roads is more and more coming to be appreciated. The national government has been making liberal contributions to encourage their construction. The results and benefits have been very gratifying. National participation, however, should be continued to truofc-line sys­ tems. Conditions in the Philippine Islands have been steadily improved. Con­ tentment and good order prevail. Roads, Irrigation works, harbor im­ provements and public buildings are being constructed. Public education and sanitation have been advanced. The government is In a sound finan­ cial condition. , These immediate results were es* pecially due to the adminstration of Gov. Gen. Leonard Wood. The six years of his governorship marked a distinct improvement In the islands and rank as one of the outstanding accomplishments of this distinguished man. His death Is a loss to the na­ tion and the Islands. Greater progress could be made, more efficiency could be put into ad­ ministration, if the congress would un­ dertake to expend, through its appro­ priating power, all or a part of the customs revenues which are now turned over to the Philippine treas­ ury. The powers of the auditor of the islands also need revision and clarification. Views on Agriculture. The last year has seen a maoked Improvement in the general condition of agriculture. Production is better balanced and without acute shortage or heavy surplus. Agriculture has not fully recovered from postwar depression. The fact ■ is that economic, progress never marches forward In a staaight line. It goes in waves. One part goes ahead while another halts and another re­ cedes. Everybody wishes agriculture to prosper. Any sound and workable proposal to help the farmer will have the earnest support of the govern­ ment. Their interests are not ail Identical. Legislation should assist as many producers In as many regions as pos­ sible. It should be the aim to as­ sist the farmer to work out his own salvation socially and economically. No plan will be of any permanent value to him which does not leave him standing on his own foundation. It Is useless to' propose a tempo­ rary expedient What is needed is permanence and stability. Govern­ ment price fixing is known to be un­ sound and bound to result In dis­ aster. A government subsidy would work out the same way. It cannot be sound for all of the people to hire some of the people to produce a crop which neither the producer nor the rest of the people want Price fixing and subsidy will both Increase the surpius instead of di­ minishing i t Putting the govern-, meat directly Into business Is mere­ ly a combination of subsidy and price fixing aggravated by political pressure. These expedients would lead logically to telling the fanner by law what and how much he should plant and where he should plant It, and what and how much He should sell and where he should sell i t The most effective means of deal­ ing with surplus crops is to reduce the surplus acreage. While this cannot be done by the individual farmer, it can be done through the organizations already In existence,-through the in­ formation published by the Depart­ ment of Agriculture, and especially through banks and others who supply credit refusing to finance. an acreage! manifestly too large. It is impossible to provide by law for an assured success and prosper­ ity for all those who engage In farming. . Jf acreage . becomes over­ extended, the government cannot assume . responsibility for it. The government can, however, assist co­ operative associations and other or­ ganizations in orderly marketing and handling a surplus clearly due to weather and- seasonal conditions, in order to save the producer from pre­ ventable loss. It is necessary to preserve the pub­ lic confidence in this system in order to find a market for their bonds. t Careful supervision is absolutely necessary to protect the investor and enable these banks to exerciSe their chief function in serving agriculture. The Mississippi Disaster. For many years the federal govern­ ment has been building a system of dikes along the Mississippi river for protection against high water. Dur­ ing the last season tlie lower states were overcome by a most disastrous flood. Many thousands of square miles were inundated, a great many lives were lost, much live stock was drowned, and a very heavy destruction of property was inflicted upon the in­ habitants. It Is necessary to look upon this emergency as a national disaster. It has been so treated from its In­ ception. Our whole people have provided with great generosity for its relief. Most of the departments of the federal government have been en­ gaged in the same effort. The govern­ ments of the afflicted areas, both state and municipal, cannot be given too high praise for the courageous helpful way in which they have come to the rescue of the people. IE the sources directly chargeable cannot meet the demand, the national government should not fail to provide generous re­ lief. This, however, does not mean restoration. The people In the flooded area and their representatives have approached this problem in the most generous and broadminded way. They should be met with a like spirit on the part of the national government No required relief should be re­ fused. An adequate plan should be adopted to prevent a recurrence of tills disaster in order that the people may restore to productivity and com­ fort their fields and their towns. Legislation is desirable for the con­ struction of a dam at Boulder canyon on the Colorado river, primarily as a method of flood control and irrigation. A secondary result would be a consid­ erable power development and a source of domestic water supply for southern CaIifornia' Enforcement of Prohibition. After more than two generations of constant debate, our country adopted a system of national prohibition under all the solemnities involved in an amendment to the Federal Constitu­ tion. In obedience to this mandate the congress and the states, with one or two notable exceptions, have passed required laws for its administration and enforcement This Imposes upon the citizenship of the country, and especially on all pub­ lic officers, not only the duty to en­ force, but the obligation to observe the sanctions of this constitutional provision and Its resulting laws. If this condition could be secured, all question concerning prohibition would cease. The federal government is making every effort to accomplish these re­ sults through careful organization, large appropriations, and adminis­ trative effort. The federal authorities propose to discharge their obligation for enforce­ ment to the full extent of their ability. Legislation authorizing a system of fuel administration and the appoint­ ment by the President of a board of mediation and conciliation in case of actual or threatened interruption of production is needed.. The miners themselves are now seeking information and action from the government which could readily be secured through such a board. It is believed that a thorough inves­ tigation and reconsideration of this proposed policy by the congress will demonstrate that this recommendation is sound and should be adopted. It has been suggested that the vari­ ous governmental agencies now deal­ ing with veterans’ relief be consol­ idated. This would bring many ad­ vantages. It Is recommended that the proper committee of the congress make a thorough survey of this sub­ ject, In order to determine if legisla­ tion to secure such consolidation is de­ sirable. For many years it has been the policy of the federal government to encourage and foster the cause of edu­ cation. Large sums of money are an­ nually appropriated to carry on voca­ tional training. Many millions go into agricultural schools. I am still of the opinion that much good could be ac­ complished through the establishment Of a department of education and re­ lief, Into which would be gathered all of these functions under one directing member of the cabinet. It is thq. policy of the United States to promote peace. We are a peaceful people and committed to the settling of disputes by amfcable adjustment rather than by force. We have be-, lleved that peace can best be secured by a faithful observance on our part of the principles of international law, accompanied by patience and concilia­ tion, and requiring of others a like treatment for ourselves. We should continue to promote peace by our example, and fortify it by such International covenants against war as we are permitted under our Constitution to make. Can They ConiBt A m V A n 9 Bji E.

Then, lastly, there were the house decorations to be attended to. There were willing hands in the home which helped hang wreaths, trim the tree and put up the little sprigs of holly and mistletoe. Melodies not familiar to the younger generation filled tha house. The humming and quiet whis­ tling told of expected joys not now far In the offing. There was shopping to be done and many preparations for the food which would be necessary. Busy days, but what happy ones. Mrs, Barber was never too busy or too tired to stop and have a friendly chat with anyone of the elderly people, to profit from their suggestions or abide by their wishes, if it was at .ail possible to do so. Christmas Day, the day, arrived. When the old folks came down to their breakfast, they found a Christ­ mas tree laden with at least one gift for each. They were as pleased and happy as children with their pres­ ents. At noon the festivities took on pro­ portion. One would never have guessed that the folks ranged any­ where from seventy to ninety-five, aa they trooped In to Christmas dinner. The table was heavily laden with all the Christmas delicacies, especially good for people of their age. They also had another little surprise. They had fifteen radiantly happy guests who were introduced to them. It was indeed hard to judge which was enjoying the dinner the most, the young or the old. Suffice it to say, the young folks encored It the most Before the group left the table Mrs. Barber made a little announcement “Our guests have come out today not only to help us enjoy our Christ­ mas dinner, but to help us to have a delightful afternoon. They have come prepared to present a short Christmas play and to furnish us a little musical entertainment” From the chuckles, smiles, laughter and applause, there was no doubt Kl There Were Willing Hands WhIcK Helped Trim the Tree. about the approval with which the entertainment was received. Tha young people were worth of all the praise which they received. The coaching had been successful. The day had been delightful and was a topic of conversation for a long time. Mrs. Barber was even happier over the occasion than the old folks, if such a thing could be possible. She realized that this vision, her scheme, had been practical. The fifty dollars had given pleasure to not only the old people but it gave these young for­ eign Settlement-house children a chance to share In the joys of Christ­ inas, the joy of giving of their own talents, reaping the consequential re­ wards of pleasure, praise and remu­ neration, the joy of finding the true Christmas spirit in giving freely of themselves,- as well as haying had a sumptuous Christmas dinner which otherwise might hare been merely C thing of their dreams. 1927. Western Uswapaper Unlou) , The First Christmas J ^ -IGHT had descended upon the hills of Judea. All was hushed and still; the earth and heavens seemed resting in a great, deep calm. No sound came to break the stillness. Even the humble shepherd men who watched their flocks were silent—they, too, felt the deep thrill and mystery of the night. Stumble and uneducated as they .T. were,, they could not fathom v, what it all meant, but in their hearts was a sense of awe and wonderment that kept them sl- <i, lentj> Then on the darkness of the night there came out of the heavens a dazzling light and j J the shepherds were frightened. }• But an angel of the Lord was U standing beside them and In a voice that found its way to their j I very hearts told them to fear «j not, rather to rejoice instead, jjj v* for he was bringing them tid- Jj ings of great joy, that the long- y looked-for Saviorhad been born l! * j that night In Bethlehem of Jt J * Judea.

Every year since we were married, my wife and I have bundled ourselves up in warm togs and gone out a day or two before Christmas and gathered armfuls ot spruce and hemlock branches, sprays of ground pine, and occasionally some mistletoe, though this Is rare in our part of the coun­ try. “After the children came, this es- cursion into the woods became as much a part of Christmas as the tree, the stockings, and the dinner.

"Ach!" She raised a radiant, sparkling face to his. “Do you want to marry me, Mr. Creighton?” His hands felt from her shoulders; lie turned from her and bent his eyes to the ground. “Aeli,” slie apologized humbly, “that !ioie I guess I went too far! But, Mr. Creighton, what Is It, then, you want:" He turned again and looked at her. "Meel1Vi I’m a—d if I know whether you're as innocent and ignorant as an angel or as deep as hell.

Please tell me,” she coaxed, “about your brother. He ain’t the swell gen- ’leman you are, is he?” “He doesn’t know you, does he?” “Not yet” “But,” said St. Croix anxiously, “he’s bound to meet you, of course? “I guess mebby.” “Don’t give us away—our meeting up here!” “Ach, no, for my Pop would kill me if he knowed—have knew. But it does wonder me, Mr. Creighton, that your brother would board at Absaloni Puntz’, as common as what they are yet! My land's sakes alive! Why does he do it? Why don’t he Uve at his own home with yous?” “None of your business, my dear!” She pouted. “I’ll get it out of Ab­ salom’s missus, then. Or I’ll meet up with your brother hisself at Absalom’s and get .it out of him.” “Oh, no, you won’t ask him!” St. Crois shrugged. “People don’t ast­ ray brother Marvin impertinent ques­tions!” “Is lie so proud, too, like you?” “His pride,” St. Crolx sneered, “takes another form than that of the rest of tile family! His 'pride’ won’t let him live, he says, on the ‘charity of miners’ !—won’t let him take, more than six per cent interest on our in­ vested capital !—insisting that all the rest should be turned over to the miners and to the upkeep and safe­ guarding of the industry! Talks d—d rot like that! Bolshevism! That's ,what it is ! D—d Bolsshevism!” “Is it? Why, I didn’t know Bolshe­ vism was so nice and kind and gener­ ous like that! I thought they was a lot of cut-throats, them Bolshevists.'’ “So they arc! The poor cutting the throats of the rich to make them­ selves rich!” “But your brother ain’t poor.” “He and all of us would be if we ran the mines as he thinks they should be run! If he ever does come /* XsM' She Hung Her Head and Answered Shyly, “My Lips Is for the Man I Marry!” f Into his share of the mines he’ll ruin the whole business, hife share and mine, too, d—n him ! Oh1 don’t let’s talk of him! My father and I see red at the sound of his name!” “And your mother, too?” “He’s breaking her heart!” St. Croix said with sincere feeling. “Disgrac­ ing the family by living with common laborers! Turning school-teacher! Making us the talk of the whole state! It’s almost killing my mother!” “But,” Meely protested, puzzled, “I can’t see he’s doin’ anything bad! It’s just that he wants to act kinder to other ones than any of yous wants to.” “It’s his quarreling with my father and leaving home that hurts my mother so, and makes Iier suffer!” “Why’s he so different to what yous all are? Why ain’t he greedy, too, to Hog all for hisself?” she sweetly asked. “We’re not ‘hogging all’ for our­ selves! Do you know what we pay annually to the people who work for us?” He named a hugely impressive, sum. “And you talk about our ‘hog­ ging all’ for ourselves!” “But why does your brother talk that way, then, if it ain’t? What makes him different to .yous?” she persisted. “Oh, from the time he was a kid he’s argued with my father about the management Jf t% mines r a d tin wiay the miners’ families have been housed and paid. And at times ol strikes he’d howl 'round at sight ol tiie women and children looking starved. And just recently, when a miner who’d worked for us for twenty years was killed and his widow and children had to vacate their'cottage, Marvin raised h—I! Wanted her pen- sioned; wanted Father to give her the house she’d lived in for twenty years; wanted him to educate her children—all softs of things that would have established the worst sort of precedent.” St. Croix paused, realiz. ing he was using words beyond her range. But she answered, “Do you call the Golden Rule in business the worst sort of—’’ She, In her turn, stopped short—and hastily changed the subject. “But I guess' your brother’ll soon have to find another boarding place, for Absalom's soon moving to town. So, then, when Absalom moves, mebby the new farm hand Pop liars won’t take your brother to board. And mebby,” said Meely suddenly, “my Pop might take him! Say, wouldn’t that be a scream, Mr. Creighton?” St. Croix privately decided that In the face of such a contingency his only prudent course would be to put an end to these sweet secret meet­ ings with Meely; for the Creighton family had- learned to their cost that Marvin’s eccentric conscience was a thing to be reckoned with. But even as he came to this deci­ sion he realized that it could not be done. He could not give up this girl. At whatever cost short of marrying her (that, of course, an impossibility) he would have her; and the cost, in view of his present delicate position in relation to his English cousin, might prove high indeed! But he would pay it rather than give her up! He was not used to giving up things. Hie self-control was flabby from lack of exercise. It never occurred to him that when he was quite ready to take the girl she would not readily come to him. Had he all along supposed her to be a “virtuous” maiden, he would not, at this moment, be here in this spot with her. But although he was not a despoiler of virtue, a man without heart or conscience, he certainly was not above accepting such gifts of life as the gods vouchsafed to him. St. Croix’ conscience, though not troubled as to his relation with Meely, was by no means at peace when he thought of the cousin whom he hoped to marry. He sentimentally felt that to go to his bride straight from a love afCair with a “common” girl like MeeIy would be to wrong Iier (not Meely, but the bride) and the struggle that went on in his soul between his ideal of what the bridegroom of a high-born and Immaculate lady should be and his compelling infatuation for the farm girl was at times bitter and devas­ tating. But there was never any real doubt In his mind as to which side In that struggle would win. CHAPTER IV Meely knew just enough about the profession of teaching to know that she knew shockingly little about it; and her dread, therefore, of the coun­ ty superintendent’s impending visit to her school was a sword over her head. “If I only knew what he expects (or hopes) to find me doing when he comes, I’d be doing it or making a bluff at doing it!” She knew that to a professional teacher her methods must seem gro­ tesquely unprofessional, being based on the same principle as that by which she lived most of her life—or tried to; that principle being the im­ perative need to extract all the enter­ tainment possible from itny situation in which you found yourself. So she worked really very hard to make her days in her schoolroom yield enter­ tainment, first to herself, and second­ ly to forty rather bucolic children of all ages and sects (Amish, New and Old Mennonites, Dunkards) who filled her school. A few vigorous and tire­ some hours were devoted to drilling In geography, multiplication tables, grammar, spelling (she suspected that the way she did that drilling would have made any real pedagogue shud­ der) and the rest of the time was de­ lightfully spent in teaching what she, not the school trustees, thought chil­ dren ought to know—fairy stories, poems, plays.

As I was taking two of my daintiest hand-embroidered towels from the linen chest, it occurred to me to ask my husband just how his sister Willa looked, since I had never seen her, and was going to all the trouble of arranging theater, bridge, and dancing parties for her during her Christmas visit with us. Well,” Charles had hesitated, “I told you once that she was a ‘home ;Irl’ and old-fasliioned.” “But that’s very indefinite,” I had replied. “How tall is she?” “Oli-a, she’s about five feet, six— about your height, and has long, red hair— I suppose it’s still long, and she’s rather fat, and—” 1 “Fat,” I had gasped, “your sister fat.” And then I had visions of Ray­ mond Garfield’s expression when he should see standing under the mistle­ toe, this old-fashioned, fat, red-headed girl who was to be his partner at all of tlio parties. Surely, Charles, you don’t remem­ ber well.” “Yes, she is fat,” Charles went on, “and although she has money from four years of teaching, - she always wears a faded blue serge suit with a belt, and—” The doorbell’s ringing interrupted him. “I’ll answer it," I said.—A tele­ gram! and tearing it open, I read: ‘Meet me at 2 :15 at the Union depot —■Willtu*’ It would be a two-hour trip; so I picked up seme Christmas cards, and my gold fountain pen with my initials «‘W. W.” on it. I could spend part of the time on the train addressing cards. I touldn’t possibly miss her—the fat, red-headed sohool teacher in faded blue . serge—with a belt, I thought as I settled In my seat * * * * * • * * I stepped from the train conscious of the patronizing attitude I had as- jumed, but nowhere could I see any­ one answering Willa’s description. It was nearly five o’clock when I reached the last store, where I bad charge account, bnt where my check would be accepted. I felt lot my fountain pen. It was gonet Frantically I searched my pockets fof it, carelessly laying my purchases on the counter. “Step aside please, Madam, you are holding up the line,” politely request­ ed the cashier as a stylish, tall blonde took my place* and before my dis­ mayed eyes took out a pen exactly like mine. I remembered Charles had once told me that often thieves were better dressed nowadays than others. “She easily could have picked my pocket while we were standing In line,” I reasoned. Hence, convinced that she had my pen, I demanded that the cashier examine the pen and see if it had my monogram, “W. W,” ou I t It had' “I will let the lady off easy," I thought as I noticed the costly serge' of her modish suit, “because she Is probably a kleptomaniac whose—" “There is some mistake,” a clear sweet voice Interrupted my thoughts. 11 . . . I Thought as I Settled in My Seat” "This Is my own pen, and *W. W.’ stands for my name, Willa Woodrow. “Willa Woodrow,” I gasped. “This girl!” Then hiding my true thoughts, I hastened to greet her, explaining: “I’m Wilma.. Woodrow, Charles wife.” I wrote my check while Willa put things back Into my pockets, and WQ walked from the store together. ‘‘But, Willa dear,” I exclaimed aft­ er we were on the car, “Charles said •red hair, and fa t’” And I added mentally, "faded blue serge.” "Exactly, dear—look at me,” Willa commanded.' “I’m looking,” I smiled, “but what I see is fluffy golden hair crowning a plump, but not too plump, pink-and* white face from which shine two magic blue, eyes, and—” Then I remembered the holiday par­ ties I had planned for Charles' “home­ like, old-fashioned” sister, and I pic­ tured the fascinated gleam which would come into Raymond Garfield’s eyes when he saw Willa' standing un­ der the mistletoe.
