says UNCLE CIV

IF you feel that you owe yourself a
good deal don't get deeply in debt to
others. Real debt is real slavery, and
the kindest creditor is. per Sc, a slave
driver. This is more or less true
when you borrow money for invest
ment, although the best business men,
by applying extraordinary talents to
their borrowed capital. escape the
curse and find the obligation only a
spur.
II debt be a spur to your tagging
energies and not a yoke on your neck,
this is not for you The right kind
of a man can make even slavery a
means to a highly desirable end, and
debt has made many men in many
ways But most men, and particularly
the men who go into debt for other
than business purposes. find debt a
yoke, and sooner or later come to
realize that creditors are experts in
the use of the goad.
He who pawns his credit for other
than the necessities of his situation
gives hostages to hard luck. Vacation
frolics, motor cars and extra dry bev-
erages we're not meant to be paid for
with borrowed money, and the man
has vet to live who can do it and keep
his financial craft afloat, except I'M
der the flag of piracy.
Moreover, think what you will con-
corning the part played by mbina
tons of capital in creating the pres
ent financial conditions. the real cause
of hard times in America is not the
overhead cost of making and selling
and buying the necessities and COM
forts of life, but the overhead and
overheated tastes of the average
family. Those thrifty folk,
our fathers. understood dem ocracy to
mean equal privileges before the law
and knew the meaning of economy.
Economy has come to have a hateful
sound to our irresponsible. optimistic
ears, and most of US take economy to
mean the right to spend as much
money as the vulgar rich and mort
gage the home to make up the deficit.
Thus, the average American of to-
day doesn't give himself a chance. Or
if he does, his wife doesn't. We |
haven't a create deal to learn from |
the middle class citizen of the world |
but one thing we can learn from him |
IS how to be happy although econom- !
cal. We can learn from the average |

MATTHEW 2:f-fO.

Now when Jesus was born IN Bethle-
hem of Judea in the days of Herod the
king. behold. there came wise men
from the east to Jerusalem.
Saving. Where is He that is born
King of the Jews? for we have seen
His star in the east. and are come to
worship Him.
When Herod. the king, had heard
these things. he was troubled, and all
Jerusalem with him.
And when he had gathered all the
chief priests and scribes of the people
together he demanded of them where
Christ should be born.
And they said unto him. In Bethle-
hem. of Judea; for thus it is written
by the prophet.
And thou Bethlehem. in the land of
Juda. are not the least among the
princes of Juda; for out of thee shall
come a Governor, that shall rule my
people Israel.
Then Herod. when he had privily
called the wise men, enquired of them
diligently what time the star appeared.
And he sent them to Bethlehem and
said Go and search diligently for the
young child; and when we have found
Him. bring me word again. that may
come and worship Him also
When they had heard the king. they
departed; and. 10, the star which they
saw in the east. went before them, till
it came and stood over where the young
child was.
When they saw the star. they re-
joiced with exceeding great joy
