TOYS OF THE AGES.
Gifts of Toys to Children at Christ
mas Time Costs at Least
$2O,OOO,OOO Yearly.

Santa Claus carries heavy freight
nowadays in his reindeer pulled con-
veyance, it being estimated that the
gifts of toys to the children of the
country year cost at least $780,
100000, mostly given Dec. 25.
The modern toy shop is realm
of fascination to young hearted folks
of all ages. Marvellous as some of
the new mechanical wonders seem,
the toys in the main are about the
same thing as children have played
with for untold centuries
One thinks of mechanical steam
boats and automobiles that are
wound up and go, as purely modern.
Yet one reads that in Egyptian mum
mics 5000 years old, there have been
discovered toy crocodiles, whose jaws
wagged back and forth as freely as
the 1913 Paris doll rolls her waxy
eyes.
The modern child still finds 10y
in Noah's arks. But the Grecian kid
CT 1000 years ago, played with Tro.
jan horses that opened up and re.
vealed lurking soldiers. One of the
ideas of educators is to give child
rem plastic clay 10 model, to develop
their sense of form. This seems
quite goth century, until you read
that the Kaffir children of South
Africa have been doing the same
thing for generations.
After all it is the stock and stan
dard toys of the ages that please the
heart of Toddlekins. The mechani
cal railroad train may be smashed
the day after Christmas. But the
tin soldiers made in Nuremberg, O
which over 100000 pounds are ship
ped to this country yearly, are pull
ed out every rainy day.
Substantial little toys of this kline
produce an immense amount of ju
yenile happiness and are worth ever.

The result of the preliminary spell
ling contest held in the different

Parcel Post

The parcel post has -rned out to
be a great money maker for the post
Office department. The profits Of the
operations for the first year were es-
timated by the Taft administration
which enacted the law, at 15,0O0,-
900 but they may actually run as
high as $3O,O0O,0O0 for the first
year. The future profits are looked
for to be still larger. But the gov
eminent has made some money that
it was hardly entitled to make and
which it may yet have to repay tC
the railroads. The railroads complain
that they have received no remuner'
alton for all the increased weight
carried, being Paid on the basis Of
the old postal weights. 1t is now
proposed to make entirely new con
tracts with the railroads and to de-
wise a new system of getting at the
amount of matter carried in mai
trains. The weighing of mails once
in four years, for period of thirt.
days and then estimating the amour
of matter from that, is unscientifi'
and unbusiness like. 1t has Ions
been held inadequate. Sometime
there is an enormous development
in the mail business on certain road
during that period, for which tn,
roads get no pay. And it has ais
happened the railroads stuffed tn
mails during the thirty day perio'
and thus succeeded in increasing
their incomes for four years.

We Should Worry.

Not only the housewife, but the
department of agriculture is wor-
ried over the high price OF eggs. In
the east the seductive egg has alrea-
dy touched the dozen price of rs
cents and the prospects are that a
dollar a dozen mark the high tide of
high class hen fruit. Eggs is eggs in
New York.
Not that hens have struck or that
there are not as many eggs as usual
in the country. We are buying eggs
in Iowa at about the same price as
last year and the year before.
The explanation given is that the
price of eggs went unusually low last
summer and the cold storage people
bought more freely. They bought
the eggs. They are holding them
now in an effort to get back their
large losses of last year. Last sea-
hard hit when the weather and the
hens combined to bust" their cold
storage combination, says the Mar
shalltown Times-Republican
The department of agriculture
can do a thing. The eggs are in the
cellars and the storage men will hold
them until they get ready or are fore
ed to SELL But the housewives and
consumers of eggs can break the cor
ner in a week. All that is necessary
is to quit eating or using eggs.
There is no ombination that can re-
sist refusal to buy.
Why is it when an article of food
| is scarce from natural or artificial
causes that human nature and per-
sonal appetite begin to crave the
particular leafs" that cost the most
money? Potatoes never taste SO
we'll as when they are $3.50 per
| bushel. When eggs are 60 cents a
dozen every travelling man wants
them straight up" scrambled OF
over" Expense and scarcity are
the two best aids to appetite.
Ten days fasting from eggs would
break the market thoroughly. 1t will
do the same thing with any article
which is being manipulated. The
combination must get action in order
to stay alive. The cause of the high
cost of living is that nothing bu
the highest cost products will salts
fly us. In the long run the assur
ance that the department of agricul
ture is worried over high prices viii
not get us anything. 1t is we who
should worry.

Loyalty.

IF you work for man in heav-
ems name work for him. If he pays
YOU wages that supply your bread
and butter, work for him, speak
we'll of him, think we'll of him,
stand by him and stand by the insti-
tuition he represents. / think If
worked for man / would not work
for him part of his time, but all
of his time. | would give an undi-
vided service or none. Ii put to
pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth
a pound of cleyerness if you must
yilify, condemn and eternally dis
parage, why, resign your position,
and when you are outside, damn to
your hearts content. But l pray
you, so long as you are a part of an
institution, do not condemn it. Not
that you will mjure the institution
not that but when you disparage
the concern of which you are a
part, you disparage yourself. Ell

A good home is not purchased with

A good home is not purchased with
money nor can it be maintained by
hirelings. In the most magnificent
mansions are sometimes found the
most desolate and unhappy hearts.
The children OF today are to be the
founders of the homes of tomorrow
Are they being trained in lines that
promise perpetuation of the joys OF
this most sacred place? Are the
scenes and surroundings of their
lives such as to make it easy and
natural to travel in those paths that
lead to long and continued peace?
Are not some of the so-called best
parents thoughtlessly teaching their
wee ones dishonesty and falsehood
and by their examples establishing
idleness and frivolty as the sum
mum bonum OF life? The parent
who makes a treat he does not in
tend to fulfill, is planting seeds o.
untruthfulness in the youths mind
that If it does 1ot yield a crop o
falsehood, will one of disrespect TO

The "Spug" Movement.

prevention of useless giving-is be-
ing organized by the woman's de-
partment of the National civic feder-
alton under the honorary chairman
ship of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife
of the president. The movement
which began in New York, is now to
be federated in Washington through
committees from various states
these chairman including Mrs. Au-
gust Belmont, of New York, presi'
dent of the society, and Miss Mar
garet Wilson, daughter of the presi
dent.
In a statement outlining the ma
tional scope of the organization, Mis-:
Maude Wetmore, chairman of the wo
mans department of the National civ
ic federation, tells of the good to b'
accomplished in reducing useless
giving among shop girls and othe
wage workers, and says the nationa
organization stands for individual
freedom in Christmas giving and 70

Some of these latter practices ar,

Council Bluffs, Dec. S.-To raise
the standard of Iowa and Nebraska
apples and to make the pack so at
tractive and so honest that the name
of the packer and the association will
be absolute guaranty of honesty
were advocated yesterday as the best
purpose of the many good ones that
are basic ideals of the Southwestern
Iowa Horticultural Society, which is
holding it's thirty-ninth annual meet
ing here. Nebraska orchardists came
forward with pleas to make 1T as
grave a crime against modern hor-
ticulture to place a wormy or other
wise bad apple in pack to be put
on the market ae to steal horse and
found hearty response from the
Iowa men.
The meeting is the most largely
attended and the discussions of the
most fruitful character that have
marked any of the recent annual
gatherings. The men constituting
the audience and taking part in the
discussion represent the most sue
cessful fruit men in the district, and
they did not hesitate to receive with
approval the recommendation of +.
NJ. Pollard of Nehawka, Neb., to
adopt a rule that will make 1T im-
possible for had apple to find its
way into box packs. Mr.. Pollard
told of the trouble of handling the
soatput of 160-acre orchard and the
losses that all Missouri valley grow
ers were annually suffering, among
which is the regular loss of the 10
cal markets. His talk followed the
presentation of the subject of the
commercial package by w. S. Kee-
line of this city.
River Apples the Best.
Il do not think any person can
dispute the fact that apples grown
anywhere within fifty miles of eth
err side of the Missouri river from
Sioux City to st. Joseph can be ex-
celled or even equaled by those
grown anywhere else in the coun-
try" said Mr.. Pollard while every
person in the room was applauding.
THE flavor, the quality, the col
!, or, the keeping qualifications all ex-
eel those grown anywhere / know
of, yet the lacal grower is practically
! driven out of his market by the
northwestern packs after Christmas
time. It's our own fault. The
housewife goes to her grocery and
buys a pack of native apples. She
finds about half of them wormy and
t otherwise defective. A little later
in the season she buys a box of the
western apples and finds every one
t perfect and those in the bottom as
: fine as the top layers. That settles
a it. The consumers regard us as be-
ing cheats and frauds when we are
absolutely honest, but stupidity care
less. We must all pack our apples
q in the same manner that characteri-
yes the work of the western grawers,
so that our associations can offer
500 for single wormy apple in a
carload We must grow and pack
our fruit that the name of our assoc
citation is sure guaranty of quality
and a synonym CT honesty. We must
raise standards and our reputation"
