SPUDS CHEAP THIS YEAR.

Copper country people who deferred
purchasing their winters supply of
potatoes until the present time will be
benefited by the fact that the crop
this year is an exceptionally large one
and potatoes are bringing low prices.
A few weeks ago potatoes were selling
at IS cents a bushel and the demand
at that figure was good. However,
"squds" have dropped during the last
few days and the best possible quality
of potatoes can now be secured for
the new low mark of so cents per

u .s,l1aS--The Home Holiday

behind some OF the c.osed doors no
Joy abides. For some there is no
heart Knowledge OF the Christ. no
touch with those who dispense
blessings. The plain black-letter days
are difficult enough where there is
poverty and trouble, sickness, lone.i-
ness, overwork. But on Christmas the
burden is heavier still. While ali the
worlt1 rejoices, the weight presses
doubiy hard Temptation to despair
turks within the home next door to
the wreathtrimmed windows and the
shining Christmas tree.
1t is not always easy to gain en-
trance through the doors that shut in
troubles. Ii is lar simpler to put
cookies and apples into the baskets OF
the christmas wishers," or give candy
and oranges to the mission Sunday
school, or orphan asylum. Yet the
love.ight OF Christmas time is so all
pervading, so iul OF gentle ministry
that il may be key to open intricate
locks and to do it SO smoothly and
simply that there is no grating or jar
ring as the door swings wide.
Taking the love of the first Christ
mas GNcr WITH us, let us at lnlS uS-
tide knock at some On these closed
doors-some door that was waiting
Tor our own hand on its handle. We
may even not get as lar as the door;
perhaps the need will greet us at the
very threshold. But it may take an
inward eye" to behold it, And once
recognized, we may find that it is
not poverty at al, or grief, but temp
tation, the temptation OF loneliness,
while the world rejoices.
And when we have carried the Christ
mas peace and JOY into some heart
empty of its blessing, we will find that
We have pressed open the door to the
rays OF peace and light and joy still
flooding down through the years from
the iirst Christmas when the Word
was made flesh and dwelt among us"
