He was right in his surmise. as the

Foods Lowest Daily Cost,

BY actual experience the Ruskinites,
a colony of socialists near Waycross,
Ga, have demonstrated what is prob
ably the lowest possible daily cost OF
food. They live at an actual cost per
capita of less than 10 cents a day. OF
course this could not have been ac-
complished except through co-opera-
ton. Everything they consume is
bought at wholesale in large quantities
and is cooked in the community. In
the community dining room tables are
set for 800 people. Those who do not
wish to eat with the crowd are allowed
the privilege of purchasing company
stores and cooking them at home.

OriGin of as.

Christmas Is a survival, an adoption
of the centuries old pagan festival or
the winter solstice celebrated during
the week preceding Dec. %. 1t was O
season of present-giving and good
cheer and that good will to man was
made practical, for Quarrels were dis
continued, debts RENTED, prisoners
liberated and absolute equality pre-
vailed among the people. This festi-
val was adopted by Christendom. and
modes of celebrating the day varied
as it spread into other cllmes and as
the tastes OF the different peoples die
,ated. In making the circuit OF the
seasons the sun reaches his lowest
point on Dec. "a, and for three days IL
apparently stationary; on the 25th day
he begins to RISES born again. The
Christmas legend is a very pretty one.
and when given It's proper application
it Is a very practical reality.

The Junior Republics" Alarm the City

The Junior Republics" Alarm the city
of Dstr. IL.
Detroit Is learning hat the Junior
republics" established in the various
schools Of the city, which at first
thought was q fine thing, Is having
evil results. The mayor protests and
shows a condition that is hardly bene-
fetal. The citizens of these junior re-
publics, for example. ballotted recently
on such questions as these: Do you
favor city ownership of the street rail-
way system at the appraised value Of
Sl7 500, 900? Do you favor the appro-
priation of $4,000 for the erection
OF another high school building? Do
you favor expansion? (this involving
a discussion of the Philippine ques-
tom But more than this the Junior
citizens" developed so rapidly as to
become lobbyists. Children were ask
ed to interview aldermen or school in
spectors to urge appropriations for
schools. In short. the junior republics
did not cOnflne themselves to theory,
but got into practical politics with a
unanimity and dispatch that was
something appalling. The Detroit
Free Press protests that innocent chill
dren that are already struggling
against nlnety-nine fads in learning
to read, write and cipher, ought not to
have their heads further muddled by
an attempt to master the methods and
processes by which the people of the
country are governed. Indianapolis
