COMING COMING The holidays
will soon be here, with their annual
festivities and blessings. Christmas
and New Years are the days that
make as pause and look back to
childhood, and think how much others
used to do, TO make them to US most
precious and happy days. What
would be the best way of preparing
for tho holidays, and what step
should be taken TO make the world
around us happy? One may not be
able to buy presents and scatter
them indlscriminately, but there is a
way of doing good, worthy Of every
one's trial. How smiling would the
world look if we were all out ofdebtl
How cheerful you make mel ghbor
when you say, "Ive called to pay
you that little bill" How happy
will every one be, who can say on
Christmas eve, Il have paid up all
my debts, and what l chose to lay
out in gifts is truly my own Be
just before you aro generous, Set a
hundred dollars in motion and il will
pay the debts Of perhaps score of
men who are eagerly waiting TO re-
ceive 1t and pay it out again, before
it stops or gets into hands that will
hoard il up. Let unusual efforts be
made to clear up these foolish debts.
Turn off property, at fair discount
if necessary now when money is 30
scarce, and see if New Years will
not find many able TO say, II owe no
| man a dollar" Then let's all take q
solemn pledge not to buy things that
are not needed. till we have money
70 throw away and take our word
for il, there will be fewer people pay
ing interest and losing farms hereat-
! ter, than this country has yet known
WILL SHEEP RAISING PAY ?-To an
swer this question, we will give the
facts stated to US this week by a
farmer Of Lancaster who has kept
sheep fer twenty years, and never
failed to find them profitable. Last
year be sheared 128 sheep, whose
wool, we'll washed at 50 cents brought
1918. He has killed eight for his
own use, worth at least S28, and sold
to drover 30 more AZ So. % or $l13.-
Is in ALL He has thus received S43
in cash and S28 worth Of provisions,
from a flock worth last spring about
$500 and having had good increase
of lambs, his flock is now almost as
numerous as it was last year. He
loses now and then sheep by wolf
or dog, but yards them every night
and gives them good care.
