A Sane Christmas.

The SENTINEL gives It's hearty sup
port to the movement for q sane
Christmas. The campaign Of educa-
ton has been started by the FEEDER.
alton of Women's clubs and II de-
serves success. Tie folly Of extrav'
agance In gifts has grown with the
years and II Is a folly which has
robbed the day Of its pleasures to a
large extent. For the wage-earnei
and salaried man the giving OF the
costly gifts, demanded by the pre-
vailing silly and senseless fashion Is
crime against his home, for the prac
tice leaves most men OF moderate
means practically penniless for q
month and many times longer. Tt

gloom. Let us return to the simpler
gifts that do not insult the recipients
and pauperize the gtver.

The Odd or 3Oth.

The fact that November this year
has tive Thursdays has created con.
siderable discussion as TO whether
Thanksgiving day this year should
fall on the fourth or the last Thurs
day of the month. Calendar makers
used to differ as to the date, some
designating the fourth Thursday.
The history Of the event and the
precedent established by the procla-
nations of various Presidents Tx the
last Thursday Of November rs the
day. Thanksgiving day In the United
States originated In ld2l In Massa.
chusetts. At first the practice of OBJ
serving a day OF thanksgiving In the
autumn of every year was confined to
New England. But It has now he.
come national, the President desig'
mating by proclamation the last
Thursday In November as day fol
national thanksgiving. President
Lincoln set the precedent for making
the event an annual one nat ionally
when he named the last Thursday In
November, 1853, "a day OF thanksgiv'
ing aud praise"

SELECTED PARAGRAPHS.

Italy has lately developpepd
higher cost of living problem, and
the people, in number of the prov
inces, are setting about, in their
usual way, to settle it by the use
of physical force. There is nothing
new in that fact, but it will be
revelation to many people that the
higher cost of living is not confined
to this country of the "robber
tariff"
Some of our farmers raise Just
as good tonnage of sugar beets as
they did a few years ago, but the
majority OF us do not. This is simp-
ly because the land has been used
for growing successive crops of beets
too long. A heavy tonnage has been
taken off each year and but little
ma erial is put back on and even
il may not contain the fertilizing
elements that have been exhausted
in the soil. There is no profit in
such farming but it means hard
labor.
Postm aster General Hitchcock has
some excuse for being jubilant in
his statement that the department
over which he presides has at last
placed itself on a paying basis. The
shortage of 100000 of n few
years ago has been steadily dimin-
ished and now it has virtually dis
appeared. Moreover. he says that
the change has been brought about
not by curtailing the activities OF
the postal service, but by extending
them. His department does more

nettled him. Dillon showed himself
