Christmas
Observance
BY REV. j. C. oEHLER.

In celebrating the birthday of any
mere man, we are accustomed to re-
view his life and call attention to his
virtues, his principles and his deeds,
the character he bore and the great
work of his life on behalf of his
i fellow-man. And, from the point OF
view of patriotism, it is important
that the memory of such benefactors
of the race should be kept fresh and
green.
So in the observance OF the natal
day of the Prince of Peace, we should
be engaged in devout meditation
upon His person and mission, upon
what His nativity represents and His
mission means to the human race
As the supreme gift of God to the
world, Jesus of Nazareth is the high
est exhibit of the love of Jehovah
for the lost sinner. In the person of
Jesus we have the inspiring example
of the pure, unselfish life-for He
was holy, harmless and undefiled and
separate from sinners. Thus we are
given the only flawless pattern of the
ideal man.
In the glorious mission of the Son
of Righteousness, we have the cpl
tome of the scheme of redemption for
the family of man. For there is none
other name given under heaven
among men whereby we must be
saved. AS He went about doing good
we have the great inspiration for the
daily life that should be led by every
man, woman and child of the race. |
That life of absolute obedience to |
the will of God of complete harmony |
with Him that sent Him; the wonder
full faithfulness in the execution of |
the smallest details of the purpose of
His life; the unexampled self-sacrifice |
that distinguished every word and
action of His earthly career; and
above all, the spirit of cheerful sub
mission to the will of His Father in |
all of His sufferings and poverty, as
instanced in the declaration at the
well of Jacob: My meat is to do the
will of Him that sent me and to ac
complish His work. All of this must
make an irresistible appeal to us as
lot "a 1fa
Of the worlds matchless Teacher and
only Liberator. Therefore the only
reasonable effect of such a thought
'ul consideration of the birth of mans
Redeemer is to stimulate the desire
% become more indissolubly bound to
Him, and to pattern our characters
md lives after the supreme model
given us in our blessed Lord. 1t
would be great indeed, if all the
world over the observance of the
should produce the
effect upon the beneficiaries
If Him who had His lowly birth in
title Bethlehem, of imparting to them :.
he glorious impulse and abiding pur-
,ose toward having their lives fash
oned after that of their greatest ben
factor. And then as the essence of
life is giving, the great practical les
on of this happy season is that
Which is couched in His own inimit4
BILE phrase, at is more blessed to
i've than to receive" Having yield
d our hearts to the control of Him
yho loved us and gave Himself for
s, the only logical course is to rem
err to Him every form and degree of
Worship and service that is made
ossible to us by His providence and
race. Now since we serve Him best u
y loving ministries to His own, out h
f supreme love to Him, we awake e.

alarming frequency Evidently there
is something radically wrong in the
operating of mines where coal dust is
permitted to accumulate to an extent
to cause terrific explosions, fires, etc.

The Mexican government is begin
ming to realize that it must cope
with a real revolution. The cutting
up of a federal troop train, and the
retreat of the federals, is convincing
enough that there is real trouble in
tamale land.

The same brother who interprets
his bible to look with disfavor on the
Santa Claus idea is also the one who
reads in his bible that salvation is
free and refuses to give any financial
support to the church or it's work.
And his heart is about the size of
one of the unmeasured microbes.

After Chicken Thieves.

Hume, Mo-, Oct. 20, l9l0.-The
Hume Poultry Show Association met
Friday night and made plans which it
is hoped may prove effective in call
ing a hault in the chicken thievery
which is becoming so prevalent of
late.
A cash emergency fund Of $500 has
been subscribed, and more if need
be, for the apprehension of chicken
thieves. Sixteen riders have been
pledged to start at moments notice
on the trail of these midnight maui
raiders. Each member of the vigil
lance committee has his particular
route mapped out, and with the aid
of the telephone ought to make life
weary for the thieves.
Other neighborhoods, which have
been infested with this gentry, are
urged upon to form like societies, and
all cooperate with us for protection.
Any information freely given.

New York Going Democratic.

New York, Oct. 31.-Winfield A.
Huppuch, chairman of the Democratic
State Committee, received some en-
couraging reports from Erie county.
He saw at different times Norman E.
Mack, chairman of the Democratic
National Committee; w. j. Connors
and Henry P. Burghard.
ut is a landslide" said Mr.. Mack,
with the conditions of 1896 revers-
ed. There are $1,000 Republican
voters in the State who are disguised
with Roosevelt, because of his actions
in the campaign. One of the princi-
pal reasons why the Democrats will
win, is that the high cost of living has
turned thousands away from the Re-
publican party, and they are demand
ing a change"
Mr.. Mack said he believed Mr.. Dix
would have a plurality of at least
1900 in Erie county.
When this was shown to Ezra P.
Prentice. chairman of the Republican
State Committee, he said the Repub-
licans would carry the county by
5000 or 5000.

Lace and other curtains will stay
clean much longer if flour starch is
used than when stiffened with the
corn starch. The flour starch can be
''blued" so as to make the curtains
white or, if care is taken in making it,
il will need very little bluing.
When the mattress has served as
long as it will, empty thecontentS and
wash the cover, patch all holesor thin
places, and slip it over the new one.
This will keep the new one clean and
fresh, and it can be taken off and
washed frequently.
For table linen, sheets blankets,
counterpanes, when washed, hang on
line with the two hem edges together,
pinning firmly by this edge. This
will keep them straight.
Take a box of the required size
a cracker box is good, and cover it
with white or marbled oil cloth, tack
the cloth on with brass headed lacks.
Little brass clasps, or corner protect
ors are not expensive, and add to the
attractiveness. This is handy.

Don't Break Down.

Severe strains on the vital organs,
like strains on machinery, cause
break downs. You can't over-tax
stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels or
nerves without serious danger to
yourself. If you are weak or run
down, or under strain Of any kind,
take Electric Bitters the matchless,
tonic medicine. Mrs. j. E. Van de
Sande, of Kirkland, ILL.,, writes:
THAT did not break down, while
enduring most severe strain, for
three months, is due wholly to Elec-
trio Bitters." Use them and enjoy
health and strength. Satisfaction
guaranteed. Soc at F. T. Clay's.

Missouri Wins Highest Individu
al Place in Judging Contest.

AT the American Royal Live Stock
show held at Kansas City, October
10th to 18th, T. R. Douglass, a STU
dent of the University of Missouri,
made the highest score in judging all
classes of live stock in competition
with Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas.
The students from Missouri also won
the highest individual score on cattle
and hogs and tied for the highest
individual score on horses.
The best score made by any stu
dent of any institution was that of S.
T. Simpson, of Missouri, who made a
perfect score in judging cattle. This
is the highest score ever made any
student in any contest in the United
States. The next highest score was
made by an Iowa student at Chicago
in 1909.
Not only did the students win higf
places in the judging contest, but thu
fat cattle shown by the College o
Agriculture won many importan
prizes. At the three live stock show
held at St. Joseph, Sedalia and Kan
sas City, the Missouri College o
Agriculture won three champion
prizes, twenty-five first prizes, twelv
second prizes and twelve third prizes
/ All these fat cattle have been re
turned to Columbia and will be use'
in the Short Winter Course in Ayr
culture which begins November

Over the Country.
The ordinary Irish potato, that well
known necessity of life, eaten daily
by everyone and grown in all of Mis-
souri's ia counties, has been select
ed by Commissioner j. C. A. Hitler,
of the Bureau of Labor Statistics as
the subject for an interesting chapter
in the 1910 Red Book, devoted to CIV
ing facts and figures on the States
annual production of this familiar
commodity.
There is hardly Missourian who
would not as quickly dispense with
his daily meat and bread as do with
out a regular supply of potatoes and
yet only a few really know that near
ly all tubers consumed here are
grown at home and are not imported
from Ireland, where, as the common
belief is, they are grown by a man
named Murphy.
In 1909 the farmers of Missouri
not Ireland-raised total of z, 480,-
600 bushels of potatoes and sent most
of the crop to market where they
brought the average wholesale price
of 81 cents per bushel. A fact worth
remembering is that most of the
farmers who raised this vast supply
of tubers are not Irish, but German.
AT the price given per bushel the
crop was worth $5,0l3,000, which is
more than enough to build Missouri's
proposed new state capitol. In fact,
if all the money received for the
"Murphys" of 1909 was put to that
use there would still remain $l3, 900
which sum could be used in erecting
a new executive mansion, structure
also badly needed, and completely
furnish it.
Green Potatoes.
How many city people have ever
heard Of green" potatoes, and yet
that is the shape thousands of bushels
leave the state in, first for the mark
cts of the North, East and West, and
finally for the NEW potato sections
of the South. While not exactly of
the color mentioned they are in the
"green" stage, being young, fresh
and tender. They are rushed out
from the "Orrick district" of Missouri
in fast trains as "perishable fruit, !"
and when they reach their faraway
destination, sell for fancy price.
Of the 1909 crop, 2, 1885, bushels
went from the producing counties by
railroads, as surplus and, on reaching
the market, sold for $l,368,67 ac-
cording to returns made to Supervis-
ing Statistician A. T. Edmonston, of
the Labor Bureau. The remainder
of the years production was sent to
local markets, generally in wagons,
save the few bushels each farmer
kept for home use.
