Farmsrs, BAY al LaoIsds AIqh school

In pursuance of the plan to make
the course in agriculture at Laclede
high school of the most possible
value to the students who are tax
ing that course, it has been de-
cided to make Friday afternoon of
each week Farmers day" and
the farmers of the township are in
vited to visit the school Friday
afternoon of next week or any
Friday afternoon thereafter and
see for themselves just what is be-
ing done.
Visitors will have an opportun-
ity to express their views of the
work being done and the methods
used, and it will be of much benefit
to the students and the mutual in
terchange of views may be very
helpful to all.
The plan has been tried very
successfully elsewhere, although
this is it's first trial in this county,
and if it gives the results expected
here it will probably be adopted by
other high schools. Visit the
school. You can spare the time
now. Show the members of the
class that you are interested in farm
progress, not only for yourself,
but for them as we'll.

CONSIDER THE CHRISTMAS GIFT,

Let your gift be of yourself-to bear
a resemblance to you, as it were.
Gold and frankincense and myrrh
and wonderful things that you can
buy with money are very welcome at
Christmas time, but there are gifts
inexpensive at the same time delight
fully appropriate for our families and
our friends and it is well to remem-
Der that appreciation is never meas
ured by the cost of the gift, but for
the appropriate and thoughtfulness of
the giver Give for the JOY that it
brings to you and not for the purpose
of out-doing some one else, for then ii
loses its first value and you have Civ
en- all for naught
! The wise men brought gold and
myrrh and frankincense to the chile
in the manger No doubt Mother
Mary was delighted with the gifts, bu

how much more, think you, was she
delighted with the resemblance of the
wife CT the keeper of the Inn who con-
trihuted clothing for the comfort OF
the babe. and for the stockings that
her cousin Elizabeth knitted for the
Child Jesus--how much more thought
fulness after all did these good
women show than the graciousness
of the wise men?
Yuletide is ard should be time of
peace, Joy and good will to men. Don't
let thoughtless acts enter into the
purchase of gifts to the end that you
may cause a friction that may even
tually come in and destroy a friend
ship of long standing. Select your
gifts and guage them not by their lot
or their elaborateness, but with care
as to their appropriateness.
Give as you are able to give, but do
not burden yourself with giving
things that will work a hardship on
yourself, for that will eventually de
stroy the pleasure that is rightfully
yours in the giving. Use care ant
! judgment in the selection, bearing il
mind that the receivers are likely t.
be different in their tastes and idea
from yourself, but above all give no
in the spirit of selfishness, but be
cause it pleases you to give.

and a woman wears an unbecoming
frock which might have been made
becoming by lifting or dropping the
waistline perhaps only a fraction of
an inch. Without further depression,
however, the black silk frock has its
skirt slightly fulled under the high
waistband, over which a narrow belt
passes, but the skirt is too skilfully
cut to take on any outward flow and
is well weighted to insure its straight
and narrow silhouette.
The frock buttons in cassock fash
ion, from throat to hem, with silk
covered buttons and a narrow plated
frill of the silk borders the entire
front line. There are little frills, too,
finishing the wrists of the long close
fitting sleeves, which, like many of
the new long sleeves, are cut in one
with shoulder aud sidebody, while
the main body goes over it like a
jumper. There is little note of vivid
Persian velvet under the color-the
only note of color.

New Vagarles of Fashion

New York, Dec. 1S.-The fashions
displayed in the shop this week are
intended first of all to attract the
SShristmas shopper. The father, hus-
Ithe problem of What to Give" would
do well to patronize the department
stores and specially shops which
have made it more of a point than
ever to arrange gifts that will be
practical and highly pleasing for wo-
mankind, and, since it is a poor rule
that does not work both ways, the
mother, sister or wife who is looking
for Christmas novelties, can emulate
the example of the male persuasion.
There are handsome bouses, the
white blouse being given a prominent
place, since the word from Paris is to
the effect that white is enjoying a
constantly increasing vogue. There
are lovely effects in mousseline lace,
gaze de ninon-which is a kind of
light voile-chiffon, point d'esprit
and of tulle illusion tucked very fine.
The best are, perhaps of gaze de
ninon. for this is an expensive fabric
and shows off best even in blouse
