mas gift, don't hide it away and never
get any good of it. Show your apprecia-
ton by making use of the gift where and
when 1t will add most 10 your pleasure
and comfort. 1t is "better to wear out
than rust out' applies to Christmas pres
ents as well as other things. Good
things were made to use, not to hide
away.

world is too busy to take the time to in
terfere with an man who does not inter-
fere with it.

cheaper and better location. The two
plants would employ over 100 hands.
