August vacation the workers in the Christmas cara

to Christmas, but the great bulk OF cnlstnlas nov

months in advance of the day they are to be placed

And just here it may be added that by no means
all of the Christmas tokens turned out by tnese
wonder workers are low priced. We are wont TO
think of Christmas novelties as costing no more
than quarter apiece, at the outside and yet
among the hundreds of different designs produced

nR. HARVEY W. WILEY, chief
y chemist of the department Of ag-
TicultuSe and national authority on
how to eat, has essayed a new role.
Doctor Wiley has announced himself
as Believer in the doctrine that it
is better to have a few boys killed at
football, on the diamond and in the
water than to bring up a race Of
mollycoddles.
Rough sport, according to Doctor
Wiley, is essential to the upbring1ng
Of q race Of fearless, sturdy men who
are qualified to cope with the great
problems OF lie and to furnish the
sight sort of backbone for a progress

Kindness Toward Our Fellow Men
Toward the Needy and the
LowIy Is Its Message.

The old message of good will
toward men is the Christmas spirit,
and the hope Is that all have been
cultivating that spirit all the year
long. If some have not, however, this
week is their opportunity, to secure
at least a fringe of it.
The birth Of Jesus Of Nazareth is
the special occasion of the festival,
but all are agreed that the best way
to celebrate that momentous event is
by keeping the old message Of good
will to men fresh and active in the
hearts Of all.
TO be plain and brief the spirit of
Christmas is kindness toward our
fellow men-toward the needy, the
lonely, the unfortunates in our civil.
lization's complex life.
Christmas is the one great festival
Of the entire Christian world, and no
one keeps it who does not imbibe
that spirit Of kindness which was
Christ's. The angels Of Bethlehem

Holiday Season Moves Judge to Be
Lenient Towards Old
Topper.

At a dinner in Denver Judge Ben B.
Lindsey told story about Christmas
conviviality.
"There used to be an old fellow of
co." he said, who got arrested about
twice week for conviviality. He was
always hailed before Magistrate Blank,
and as the magistrate was about 60,
too, a queer kind of comradeship, al
most friendship, arose between the
two men,
I'm the late autumn the topper was
called away from Denver. He did
not return till Christmas time. The
convivial Christmas spirit in the crisp
Denver air was. of course, too much
for him, and the day after his return
he was hailed before the usual magis-
trate on the usual charge
"The magistrate, in the green-fes-
TONED court room, felt kindly and for
giving.

oner, you are here again at last, eh?'
