JUST A DOG THAT'S ALL

He was one of those forlorn4looking
little fellows; another homeless Hec-
tor" in a world that had for him moth
ing but wintry days. You noticed
him trying to make himself acquaint-
ed with. other dogs on our streets.
Sometimes he would stand on three
legs, trying to keep at least one Of
them warm, looking IN every direction
tor some friend. You would call him
bashful, but when you smiled he
would crawl wotard you. His sus-
picious look told the story Of some
cruel kick. You pitied him. Yet,
maybe, you whispered to yourself:
"He is just a dog; that's all, and sev-
cry dog has his day" Then you
walked along unconcernedly in your
warm fur coat to warm freside,
hngging the bacon so tightly that
there would not be as much as a rind
for the little tramp.
But this is not sad story, nor one
OF censure. This is Christmas-time
and good-felloW-time. The Yule-tide
spirit nestled in the hearts Of some

try east Of Roseau, and examined the
large tracts of land the state was ad-
vertising for sale. They also saw the
wonderful result Of the work done by
the bitches built thru this land. With
out the least hesitancy these people
attended the sale anG bought of this
land. They competed with one ar.
other until every acre was sold And
at is safe to state that land bought at
an acre would not have sold for
$40 had not those bitches been built.
Not only outsiders paid we'll for this
land, but local people even out-bid
them on some Of it. The highest price
paid for any tract of land was sci,
which was offered by R. ]. Bell, who
has worked for years for the reclama.

What has just taken place east OF

other locality in the county that goes
ahead and builds roads and drains To-

ago this same land that will now be
broken up and put into flax and other
crops, was termed the big Swamp"
In short time it will have been dem.

BREAD FOR THE EATER

Those old-fashioned families which
still use home made bread should pro-
fit this winter from the big wheat crop
of the Northwest" notes a financial
writer. He goes on to speak of prices
Of grain at Minneapolis as very much
under a year ago.
A travelling salesman said the other
day that prices Of -four are lower than
they have averaged for the past ten
years. The best grades, he said are
selling to the consumer for IS cents
to $1.0O barrel less than year ago.
Even though beef may yet be rec
koned with game birds and terrapin,
las rich mans luxury, yet when the
poor man can sit down to a supper of
bread and milk, the principal ele.
ments for muscle building are at his
command.
1t may be said that bread and milk
is dish for children and old maids.
Some men who order it in restaurants
have been known to crumb oyster
crackers into it, so that they may be
thought to have ordered oyster stew
1t was not so reasoned on the farm
in the old days, where bread and
milk supper supplied the hearty back
ground for a five o'clock start for the
cornfield next day. A quart of milk
at eight cents, weighing two pounds,
brings the cost of milk down to four
cents a pound, containing perhaps
just as much nourishment as the fan
cy steak that sells at 40 cents.
The writer quoted above would
seem to intimate THAT to realize the
full advantages Of cheaper flour, the
family must make its own bread.
There's something in that too. The
decline Of the rolling pin and the
heavier drain on the pay envelope go
together.
Nevertheless, the judicious patron
of food stores can do well nowadays.
Pass up the loaf that win crumple up
in the hand like q sponge. It consists
merely Of cir cells Separated ~ fllmy
partitions Of wheat extract, Buy the
loaf Of firm texture that suggests the
careful kneading that Mother used to
do.

THE "oLp" CHRISTMAS GONE

Christmas is the time for giving.
There is no gift too good for anyone,
1t seems. But WI hen you look only up
on Christmas as the time for giving,
you come to. the conclusion that times
have changed greatly even in the last
decade. -.
We are trying to be too metropoli-
tan. Look over the pretty things on
display at our stores and you will see
that we are trying to keep pace with
the most exclusive sections of the
largest cities. There are things fit
for king. Generally they are quite
expensive. What does it mean? -
Some women nowadays, even in
the farm homes, are not satisfied with
less than a sewing bag of fine leather.
with sterling silver thimbles, scissors
and the like. Some men look longingly
at the fine, .silver-backed military
brushes, and they insist that the han
die of the next razor must be inlaid
with pearl. Everything must be of
the best. The young man or woman
on the farm must have as fine dress
er sets as can be found in homes of
mdlionaires. Diamond mounted ar
tfcles are out of the question so far,
but we may have to include them in
our gifts to our sons and DAUGHTERS in
another decade! ~
Should Christmas-time be a season
for Injuries? Where are We placing
the smiling grandmother or solicitous
mother, Who wished us a Merry
Christmas with a kiss and then tuck
ed pair of warm mittens or pretty,
homemade scarf into our thankful
hands? Will the good, old Christmas
times henceforth be dreams of poets
and subjects on canvas?
Take us back to the real Christmas,
with the real Christmas spirit behind
it. Make the season one of cheer and
comfort rather than one of worry and
luxury. And, remember that the
greatest gift in all the world was the
Christ Child. He did not come to us
amid scenes of luxury; still He car
ried with Him:
peace on earth and good will to all
men"

WHEN A WHOLE CITY TAKES
-g HOLD

Not long ago the Rockefeller found
alton granted 100000 to Coe college
at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for building
and endowment fund, one condition
being that the city itself raise $780,
GOO.
A committee of one hundred of the
business men of the city spent week
soliciting subscriptions. These ranged
from IS to $4,000. The amount was
subscribed in full and is large sum
for a city like Cedar Rapids to raise.
This is an object lesson in what can
be done when an entire community
takes hold Of a worthy project. There
is nothing within reason that an
American city, town or village cannot
do, If all its people can be persuaded
to work with a common aim.-Chica.

Just think, if the people Of Warren
'and this part Of the Red River Valley,
will take hold of the proposition to
raise an endowment fund for North
Star College, as outlined by James I.
Hill in his speech here on Dec. s, the
thing can be accomplished very east
ly, if the work is undertaken in the
same spirit of unity and cooperation
as characterized the people Of Cedar
Rapids. Let us show Mr.. Hill that
We can do it and surprise him still
more by calling for his promised con-
tribution toward the fund sooner than
he expected. ..

opening the gift Do not buy promis-
cuously the things which happen to

be given to some one or other. Keep
in mind the true spirit Of Christmas
when you are buying and your gift
will carry more Of that spirit with it..
Take into account the real artistic
work of the object as well as the taste
of the recipient Do not spend much
for faddish things that will excite the
fancy for moment and then be dis
carded. Do not forget that simple
things are usually the best and afford
the most lasting Joy. Remember to

CHRISTMAS IN THE SUNDAY
SCHOOL

Through most of the year the prob.
lem of maintaining Sunday school at
tendance seems interestingly difficult.
Rewards of gilt pins, crosses and
crowns, and illuminated and illustrat-
ed cards affect the child mind with
more or less responsiveness. But all
these schemes stir the jaded feet of

annually turned up to get his quaint
copy of the stilted Rollo books It
pulls the boy Of today, who is willing
to hear even about Habbakuk and

this shining and glittering foliage Of
Childland.

REMEMBER THE RURAL CARRIER

At this sason of friendiness and
good cheer, let us not forget the rur-
al carrier nor his horse. AS we all
know the carrier is not yet receiving
adequate compensation for the SER
vices he renders the rural community
and the horse that patiently travels
day after day the long and weary
miles in order to bring intelligence
and friendly greetings to and from
your home, would appreciate, altho a
dumb animal, Christmas gift, in the
shape of more liberal ration of oats.
1t will never be missed, letting the
carriers horse share a little out of
your abundance. r..
Another thing which it is timely to
call attention to now, is the habit
some have of leaving loose pennies
for postage in the boxes. It is very
difficult for the carrier in cold wealth
so takes time. He is not required
by the postal regulations to do it.
Therefore, let every patron on rural
routes provide himself with stamps
to attach to mail matter sent out, and
tighten the work of the carrier to that
extent. - d, ~. =, & i.
Patrons should also see to that the
roads are kept open during the win
ter months. A carrier is not expected
to break roads through drifts of snow.
That must be done by the patrons if
they want to get service on the route.
A little attention to these things will
be greatly appreciated by the carriers.
