A Thought for the Week.

II SOMETIMES think expect too much of
\ Christmas Day. We try to crowd into it the
Il long arrears of kindness and humanity of
the whole year. AS for me, like to take my
Christmas little at time, all through the year.
And thus drift along into the holidays-let them
overtake me unexpectedly-waking up some fine
morning and suddenly saying to myself: why
this is Christmas Day!"-David Grayson. In IA
ventures In Friendship"

4 Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Judge
Willis Van Devanter. of Wyoming, and Joseph
Lamar, of Georgia, were appointed Associate JUS

the head of the newly created Court of Commerce.
Postmaster-General Hitchcock is proceeding
with great vigor against a number of parties
charged with using the mails to defraud. He also
recommends that the whole Postoffce Department
be taken out of politics and put under civil SER
vice rules Such change would not only be in
the interests of more efficient and economical
postal service, but would end of the most pro-
life sources of political jobbery.
Champ Clark, who will almost certainly be the
next Speaker of the House of Representatives, has

Speaker, and it's abuse rise to the term Can
nonism.'
The National River and Harbor Congress Of
which Congressman Jos. e. Randall is president,
met at Washington December Z. The work OF
the body seems about to result in a comprehen-
sive and busness-like plan of waterway construc-
ton instead of the piecemeal. haphazard system
of the past
Congress has done little except pass some APP
preparation bills. 1t seems to be agreed that
there is to be piecemeal revision of the tariff.
but little is likely to be done at this session.

ing that the United States was entirely unprepared
for war was sent to Congress last week and has

Following our usual custom, we shall issue no
paper for next week. December 81. Our next
issue, therefore, will be that OF January Z, 1911
Just because we miss an issue, however, does not
mean that we give a whole week to Christmas
feastng. We shall be putting in a new press and
otherwise preparing for the biggest and best
year in our history-for that is what we expect
next year to be. Here's hoping that it will be all
this and more to you and that you can greet 1t
with glad heart and an aspiring SOUL
Don't forget our Garden Special January H.
and our Farm Equipment Special January 49,
We are depending on readers to make these
specials next year better than any we have ever
had. Our Farm Implement Special last year was
pronounced by Mr.. w. H. VIM, of the Rock Is
land Plow Company, the best issue of any farm
paper he had ever seen. We want to make an
even better one this time. Don't forget we offer
for the best letter for each special, prize of IS
with three other prizes Of $3.50 each. Letters
must be in our hands at least ten days before the
date of publication.

THE WORLD is NOT so BAD

1t is hard to understand why so
much of the fiction that is piled upon
the booksellers counters these days is
so dry and unpalatable, so foreign to
the deeper issues of life, so deficient
in real human grip, when so much of
real life, as reflected in the daily
press, throbs with vital passion, ov-
flows with poetry, pathos and pity.
Why don't our novelists read the pa
pers? Instead of plowing up the arid
wastes of their imagination, let them
turn to the fields of daily experience,
where the hopes and heartbreaks of
hundreds are as an open book.
What a sad and affecting story is
that of the railroad mans will, one of
the shortest on record, filed at Reg
lister Edwards's office, the other day!
