Ministers Decide to Abolish
Christmas Trees and all
Other Exercises

Bellefontaine did not have an
Official Santa Claus this year and
the small boy who has been at
tending Sunday school regularly
for the last few weeks were bad
ly disappointed. Ministers have
just announced through the pa
pers that they have decided to
abandon the church Santa Claus,
Christmas tree and exercises Of
every description. Sentiment
against the Santa Claus myth,
the high cost of living and the
theory that the money should be
expended for the poor are among
the reasons given.

A White Christmas

A white Christmas" in Dun

last Monday witnessed the unusu-
al thing.
Sunday night, under cover Of
darkness, the carpet Of white
was spread so that on awaking
Christmas morn a beautiful
white, presented a real back
east Christmas scene.
Not only was it white but, colo,
and has remained cold, for Ari-
zona, ever since. This
morning the mercury had settled
down to 8 degrees above. Some
thermometers have registered as
low as 4 degrees.

rarely offered to a Duncan audi

ano, kindly loaned for the occa-
sion by Mr.. Harris, made possi-
ble q musical treat that will long.

nate enough to hearit.
The Misses Plum found their
hearers veritable Oliver Twists,
always clammoring for more; /;
and, they were very generous in
responding with violin, piano and
voice, Mr.. Harris ACCOMPANYING
most acceptably upon the flute.
And Miss Robinson contributing
a piano solo Of much merit.
When we consider that this is
the first year that music has been
Systematically taught in the pub
lie schools, we cannot give too
much credit to the school teach
ers and the school children for
the almost phenominal progress
made in that department in the
short space Of less than four
months. The singing Of the school
children on this occasion was not
only highly .creditable, but it
gave great promise for the fu-
ture.

Premium Ewy Stations

Which of the ten divisions that
comprise the Pacific System Of
the Southern Pacific Company
will have the distinction of being
the best during the present fs-
cal year? Which roadmaster's
district will carry away this years
gold medal? What section will
be awarded the gold medal and
what sections will receive the
silver medals for the best kept
stations?
The annual inspection over the
Pacific System Of the Southern
Pacific is now on. The assistant
chief engineer, with the division
and district engineers, are now
travelling over the lines of the
company making a close exami-
nation of every particle of road
bed. The members of this party
are inspecting the baIlasting work
the drainage, the stations, pump
houses and fuel oil and power
plants. This is an annual affair
on the Sourhern Pacific and the
competition between the differ
ent divisions is unusually keen.
Intense rivalry. has been created.
The superintendent of the divis-
ion does not like to be tainted
by officials Of a rival division and
he strives, and the men under
him strive to make their part of
the system the best.
This is healthy, efficient rival
ry. Section foremen, roadmas
ters, trainmasters and even di-
vision superintendent vie with
each otherin their efforts to make
their particular piece of track
the best on the road, or to have
it said that the trains under their
supervision are handled prompt
ly and on scheduled time. It is q
part of the Southern Pacifc's
campaign for efficiency. Itspels
successful railroading. During
the fiscal year which ended last
June, the Tucson division receiv
ed the best average of the entire
system. The best roadmaster's $
district was was in this division
while the best section vast on the

divisions of the road have been
taken exceptional care Of their

to let these new divisions take
the honors for the present year.
Two Of the divisions have al
ready been inspected. The 9TH

Reasoning in a Circle
Or do Good Wagon Roads Pay?

(QC VI VSS lOlS,
Thus, did ST Hawkins, a plain.
untutored, bat hard headed farm
er, puncture the labored philoso-
ply of a high-browed exponent
of domestic economies, who had
just climaXed an address to a
gathering Of farmers with the
statement that the cause of
high prices and the high cost
of living is freight rates, and the
cure is a reduction il rates.
I am only a plain farmer"
continued Hawkins, but |, too,
have given the high cost of living
some thought: not, however, ma
rocking chair in richly furnish
ed study, bat in a lumber wagon
up to the hubs in mud, and while
walking between the handles of
a plow. That is the college in
which | matriculated and learn

Before this, |, too. had form
! ed some opinions from garnished
sophistry which | found in books
and speeches by theorists and Of
fice-seeking politicians. butit was
hauling half a load Of hogs to
market the other day over a aroad
knee-deep in mud that made me
realize there were other things
than freight rates involved in the
high cost Of living. | had a case
of eggs at my feet on one side
and tub Of butter on the other,
both bringing such good prices
that mother bless her dear heart
/ she looks better in calico than
other women in silks cautioned
me against reckless driving.
"A new idea came to me. 1t
was that by giving the consumer
the benefit Of the waste that at
taches to existing methods and
conditions, we would bg this alone
greatly reduce the est Of living.
That set me to figuring. It
took me whole day with a team
and wagon to haul 800 lb Of hogs
the ten miles had to g.. At the
rat Of $3 so per day for team
and driver | easily ascertained
that the wagon haul, without al
lowing anything for repairs or
keeping Of myself and team, was
costing As cents a toa per mile.
Great HeaVens!, that was over
sixty one times more than the
average charge a ton per mile by
the railroads, as shown by the
reports Of the Interstate Com
,merce Commission. and vet
everybody seeking to reduce the
high cost living was bitterly in
Weighing against railroad rates
and hllndly marching behind
blind leaders to that end. When
roads were not muddy, l hauled
$500 lbs. to load and yet that
was 28 cents ton per milo, or
over thirty seven times, mere
than the average charged by the
railroads, The report Of the IN
terstate Commerce Commission
showed that the average cost by
railroad was 3-4 OF one cent a ton
per mile.
In a pamphlet issued by the
Department Of Agriculture, |
read that the farmers Of several
states, particularly tie farmers
Of Pennsyl ania, blythe construc-
ton Of geod roads had coubIed
their wa <on | ads and thereby
decreased tn c stof wagon trans

meant on poor roads d saving of

When I realized that this en-
ormous waste applied to all the
great farm crops of this great
country for every pound or ton
Of surplus farm products must be
moved by wagon to the cars or
elevators at the railway station
| was staggered, first at the en-
ormous waste and, second. at the
