The Problem of John and Mary

WTHEN We come to consider John and Mary
w Augustine the problem IS bigger, more i'm
portant For years YOU have been glad to send
them a gift that valuable as we'll as valued,
something really handsome and worth while. This
wear vOu-1neaning myself and the man and woman
next door as we'll yourself-know you really
can't afford to buy expensive a git as has been
your custom. 1t worries you lot. You thTesh 1t
over and after awhile you say to yourself
1t IS utterly out of the question for me to make
the kind of present l want to make and always
have made the kind they deserve. | have not the
money | don't want to send them something
cheap and useless. II l can't do It right, won't
do ii at all
If YOU say it over often enough, and with sufficient
enlUhasis You'll come to believe it, although you
know from the feel of it that 1t isn't the right view
TO take But YOU will be able to convince yourself
and act upon it. And then YOU will pay.
The truth is, not considering John and
Mary Augustine at all; but only our foolish, VAN
selves-the Pride in Appearances We practically
eliminate Tohn and Mary Augustine, and when We
eliminate others eliminate the Christmas spirit.
Keep that in mind always We haven't the COur-
age to make the kind of gift could make without
any real sacrifice When tries to solve the Christ
mas problem by saying that If he can't do It right
he won't do il at all, he is lust about effective
as a man VINO tries to cut his own hair.
When Christmas comes and John and Mary
Augustine receive no gift from YOU they are hurt.
They can't escape it, matter how much they
trv The chances are that they know you are poor
because they know you pretty well. They didn't
expect the usual handsome gift Now, 1t wasn't
Your notion at all and they ought to know It; but
they can't escape an impression that you have
placed them in a false position,-that you make them
appear to place a commercial value your friend

The hurt may heal in time; but 1t always leaves

If YOU will take the trouble to draw a few distinC-

When you sent gifts to John and Mary Augustine,
t never occurred to you TO think It pleased them
because it was expensive. Such thought never
entered Your head-nOr theirs. You sent II because
YOU were fond of them and they were fond OF You.
You had as much pleasure IN the giving as they IN
the receiving, because the gift meant something.
When YOU could afford 1t, the money question was
not a factor at all; but when poverty begins 70

The Milk CUES ton.

The coming of spring has brought
Us face to face in this great country
with the milk question which year af-
ter year carries away thousands of 1.-THE
little ones of the country because the
milk man sees fit to adulterate his
products with things that are not con-
duclve to the health of the consumers
of milk. The habit in many places of
using formaldehyde and other juri-
GUS drugs we hope will never strike
out miIkmen in this section neither
the habit of using dirty water in the
milk instead of clean water. If you
must use water get the purest
you can find and put ii in bottle to
itself and then bring two bottles in
stead of one and then the consumer
can mix the ingredients to suit his
taste. Many milkmen do Lot know
just what proportions Will suit the
users hence they spoil both the water
and the milk. Seriously this is ques-
ton of great moment TO the public
and is one which should be carefully
looked into.-Exehange.

The Ancient Canal.

The opening of ma figation on the G
d 0. Canal naturally recalls the his
tory of Il is waterway. 1t was George
WashiHgton's idea to unite the West
to the East by "a waterway along the
Potomac river. 1t took shape in 1923
by an act of the Maryland Legislature
incorporating the Potomac Canal Co.
From Georgetown to Harper's Ferry
the canal was constructed so feet wide
at top, AZ feet at bottom and feet
deep, thence to Dam. No. s, 40 fleet at
top, 80 feet at bottom, s feet deep, then
to cumberland, i54 feet at top, 80 feet
at bottom and 8 feet deep. In 1925 it
was planned to extend the canal to
pittsburg and the company duly in
eorporated in Pennsylvania. In 1928
the Chesapeake q Ohio Canal Co. sue
ceeded the Potomac Canal Co., taking
over all rights to the waterway. Capt.
tai stock Sc 600 600. The first spade full
ofearth in the construction of the canal
was removed by John Quincy Adams,
the President of the United States.
General Mercer was the first president
of the canal and handed the shovel to
President Adams. This took place on
July 4, 1928, in the presence OF great
crowd at Georgetown. On the same
day at the samei hour ground was
broken for the Il. & o. Railroad, thirty
miles away. When General Mercer
handed the spade to President Adams,
he made neat little speech and pro-
ceeded to sink the spade into the earth,
but it struck root and he had to try
again with no better success. Perceiv-
ing the ground hard he took off his
coat and vest and the multitude cheer
ed. The canal is 1S44 miles long, II
miles of which is in Washington coun-
ty.1The entire canal cost $11 ,G6I ,l76 or

The sentiment favorable to prohibi-
tion has grown rapidly throughoutthe
country and especially in the southern
and middle states during the past year
Or two and the liquor dealers are large
Iy to blame for that growth them
selves In cur humble judgment they
are themselves doing more to bring
about opposition than the prohibition
lists. The saloonists are all the time on
the lookout and ready to break every
head that presents itself IN politics
that they are not certain is favorable TO
their business. There are many good
men, who are not prUhibittonists at
heart, that are marked by the liquor
people because they are not drinkers
or are cburehmen, thus forcing the
issue when it would probably never
raise and forcing these men 10 take
stand against them.
Do the liquor advocates dream that
they will take charge of and run the
government, city, county, state and
nation, and that none but the patrons
of the saloons shall hold Office! II they
do, they are dreaming inGeefi ;eld are
only hasteaing their own GoWNiaH II
they have any sense they must know
that the people will not stand for any
such methods. Aside from all question
OF morality or ability, the m after is
absurd for any class of people to pre-.
sumo that the government is only safe
in their hands and that every man
who does not think as they think is an
enemy to the government aud not
eligible 10 office. The saloon people
may rest assured that the harder they
kick and the mlrc obnoxious they
make themselves the sooner will come
their doom.

The people of West Virginia must
certainly see that they need a change in
the administration of state affairs.
They must see that the party in power
has become rotten beyond toIeration.
They must see that the republican
state machine his been squandering
their money increasing salaries and
creating new Offices for party fayorites
They must le. that the longer
the republicans have control of
the state the worse matters grow,
They must also see that il the state
government has been rotten under the
present administration that it will
be a hundred fold worse under an
administration headed by either
Swishea or Scherr.
