Have you ever thought OF the pale
face in the dark? The face that is
turned to its task in the early and late
shadows? The face that is closed up
from the sunlight and the free pure
air held in the house OF toll? That is
the face of the wealth producer.
That is the hidden face which gives
its gaze to put into form and fact the
dreams and fancies OF the world.
kindly study to put an honest and
lasting smile upon that pale, anxious
face.

The local newspaper, truthfully says
an exchange, should be found in every
home. No children should be brough,
up ignorant who can be taught to appre
ciate home papers. 1t is said to be the
stepping stone to intelligence in all those
matters not found In books. Give your
children one foreign paper with not one
word about any person, place or thing
they ever saw or heard of, and how dc
you suppose them to be interested? But
let them read the home paper and hear
from people whom they meet, and Of
places with which they are familiar, and
soon an interest is awakened which in.
creases with the arrival of every local
paper. Thus habit of reading is FORM
ed, and those children will read papers
all their lives, and become intelligent
men and women, credit to their ances.
tors, and strong in the knowledge of the
world as it is today.

upon AS promptly as would be the
case during less strenuous seasons.
Local dealers. with an enterprise

nearly everything within the range
of the imagination suitable for holi-
day presents. and there has been no
possible excuse for purchasers going
10 other markets to make their s-lec-
tious. and il is to the credit of our
people that but very few of them have
done so.
The showing of mechanical TOYS

torious. although the buying along
that line has probably been less gen.
erous than usual. the public taste ran
ming more TO the useful articles than
formerly. the desire apparently hav-
ing been.to combine beauty and utility
in the choice of Christmas souvenirs
1t is impossible to even approx
