THE TRUE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT


Orison SWEET Marden, the famous
writer and philosopher, says in the
december number of Pictorial Re-
view:
"One cold night just before Christ
mas | saw in front Of a big show win
dow in New York a poor, ragged boy
looking very longingly at big doll.
| asked him if he wanted anything in
the window. mo. no." he said, but
it does make me feel bad because [
can't get doll for my little sister.
She never had a doll"
Think of the poor children who
never had Christmas present, the
poor little girls who never owned a
doll Even if you haven't anything
stored away which you could give
these poor people without impover-
ishing yourself, yOu can at least call
on some of them, give them your
sympathy, your encouragement.
Few people realize the possibilities
of making people happy by writing
encouraging Christmas letters.
know OF a poor woman who has no
money for presents, but she writes
the most beautiful, encouraging,
cheer-up letters to many poor and
unfortunate people, especially the
sick in the hospitals and other
shut-ins- 1t is the spirit that counts;
that is everything; and if it doesn t
go with the money you give, if it
isn't in the check or the groceries
you send, you are not giving any
thing worth while.
No matter how humble our posi-
ton in life, we can always give a
kind word and perform little deeds
of helpfulness and good cheer in our
family and among our friends and
acquaintance. A cordial grasp of a
discouraged hand with little SYM
pathy and encouragement will often
do more good than costly gift. You
can render no greater service to 9TH
ers than by holding kindly, magnani-
nous thoughts toward them, giving
them cheer. your sympathy, your
helpful encouragemen These are
an everlasting benediction and a per-
petual delight.
Unfortunately, the true meaning
of Christmas, the Christ spirit, the
helpful, charitable spirit, has been
largely lost, and we have drifted into
the custom of using Christmas for
the paying OF Christmas debts. With
many people, Christmas has become
such a formidable OCCASION so ex-
pensive, so strenuous, that instead

SOUND ADVICE

superintendent Chadsey's pro
nouncement against the teaching of
sex hygiene IN the high schools of
Detroit will be received with appro-
val by the great mass of sensible, old
fashioned folk who believe that par
ents should retain some control over
the upbringing of their children, and
are convinced that those parents are,
on the whole. as we'll able to guide
their offspring Alright in the more
Intimate matters of human existence
as is any faddist masquerading as an
expert.
DR.. Chadsey has several objections
TO the study of sex in high schools
Some are of fundamental nature.
The subject is one which newt
ably tends to morbidity if anything
greater than the most casual empha-
sis is laid upon it. The adult popula-
ton of America is suffering seriously
from the evil effects of just such en-
phasis. A great portion of the peo-
pie seems to be able to think of moth
ing else. 1t is talked about at the
club and by the fireside. 1t is con-
sidered in the theater. 1t is uorod
over in the novel or short story OF
the day. The result is a most un-
healthy state of the public mind. and
sometimes it seems that the Amer
lean people are positively threatened
with monOmania seXus.
For this mental infection to spread
to boys and girls when they should
would be disastrous. To encourage
such an infection is little short of
criminal.
This is the plea for the exercise of
common sense. Even parents who
know their children best and are
most in sympathy with them realize
be thinking of almost anything else
that it is difficult to impart all the
information necessary to their we'll
being in the manner best calculated
to do good rather than evil. Glass
work is far from an ideal method of
instruction. How can it be made to
pass muster in explaining a subject
as intensely personal and delicate as
| the one under discussion? -Detroit

Oh suggesting good cheer, happiness,
kindness for all, the holiday season
brings dread and even terror to many
people who are not able to keep up
with the pace. 1t is becoming a seri-
Gus drain upon both the strength and
the pocketbook.
The average person uses less sense
and good judgment in the purchase
CT Christmas presents than in any
thing else. Many people seem to
have a sort OF a mania for making
the best possible show for their
money in their Christmas giving, and
IN their mad hunt for bargains, they
puy the most senseless things
articles which are practically useless
to others and only cumber up the
house. 1t would be interesting to 20
through the homes of the country
and collect or take an inventory of
the Christmas gifts which are lying
about in attics, cupboards, and clos
ets-useless, foolish articles which
people have no real place for and yet
which they feel they must keep be-
cause they were gifts to them.

SOMETHING Is WRONG

A recent bulletin issued by the de-
srtment of agriculture shows that
here is something radically wrong
the marketing system as applied
+ corn. The corn crop this year,
aGording to the government esti-
tates, is below the 10-year average
and is short of last years crop by
N, 1923, 200 bushels. Yet, accord
Eg to the government estimate, this
port crop is worth $22O,O00,00O
Pore than the bumper crop of last
Aear. This is not the first time that
BE farmers have received more for a
mall grain crop than for a large
BE and indicates that one of the
pVernm ent experts knew what he
gas talking about when he said that
4 the farmers of the United States
sroduced as much per acre for one
Ear as do the farmers of Europe,
Re would have the worst panic in
be history of the country.
1 1t is natural that a short crop
llould bring a higher price per
aushel; that would be the logical re-
pit of the operation of the law of
zHpply and demand, but that small
Top should sell for higher aggre-
3ate price than large one is a para
/ G which it is hard to explain, for
lAe deduction would be that the less
farmer raises, the more he would
bake, which is manifesttly untrue.
Ihe explanation must be that either
|ae price paid for last years crop
Pas too low, or the price offered for
|Ais years crop is too high. The
primer hypothesis is probably the
|orrect one, but the fault lies to a
Frge extent with the farmers.
moving that there was a bumper
bop, nearly every corn raiser rushed
IFS grain on the market so that the
upply offered for sale was greater
han the demand and the buyers took
ldvantage of the opportunity to de-
'ress the price. This year the farm
RS know that the crop is short and
Ire not in a hurry to sell. AS a re-
ult the supply offered is not equal
% the demand and the buyers are
breed to bid up in order to get the
orn to fill their contracts.
When the farmers learn to CO.
perate in selling and cease trying to
nload their grain all at the same
Inc at any price they can get, then
short crop will cease to be worth
lore than a big one and there will
9 an inducement for the tiller of
he soil to endeayor to secure the
laximum yield per acre.

ASKS EXEMPTION
FOR EACH CHILD.
Senate Committee to Alter the
Income Tax Bill.
MAY LOWER LIMIT TO $4,000
Senator Ollie James Of Kentucky De-
mands Free Meat and Cattle
Fights Countervaiiing Duty
on Live Stock.

Washington, June 18.-An addition
al exemption of $500 for each child of
a family in the income tax section OF
the tariff revision bill was determined
upon by the senate finance sub-com-
mittee of which Senator Williams is
chairman, and the change will be rec
ommended to the majority members
Of the committee.
Having determined upon this impor-
tant amendment to the income tax,
the subcommittee also is seriously
considering recommending changing
the $4,000 exemption In the Under
wood bill to $4,000. This, it is argued.
would greatly increase the revenue,
and with the additional exemptions
proposed for children would not i'm
pose hardship upon the heads of fami-
lies.
Cal! Caucus Thursday.
Senator Simmons, chairman of the
finance committee, said that the Dem
ocratic caucus of the senate would be
called for Thursday, whether the fin
ance committee majority had con-
Guided with the schedules or not, and
that the caucus could 60 over SEIZED
ules already approved while the COM
mittee was finishing it's work.
Today the full committee will take
features Of the bill, having concluded
the sundries schedule. A recommends
ton of the subcommittee to decrease
the 20 per cent. duty on cut diamonds
was not accepted by the majority.
Demands Free Meat.
Senator Ollie James of Kentucky,
who made the sugar tariff speech in
the senate defending the stand of Pres
ident Wilson, has taken a vigorous pO-
sitiOn in the senate committee against
the imposition of countervailing duty
on meat and cattle, and announced he
would carry the fight to the Demo
cratic senatorial caucus If he failed to
swing the committee into line.
When the majority members of the
finance committee resumed considera-
ton of the proposed countervailing du-
ties on agricultural products, Senator
James enphatically declared that the
public was entitled to unrestricted free
cattle and meat.
Protest Causes Delay. e
He did not oppose the action of the
Democrats in free-listing wheat and
-four with the countervailing duty add
ed, but he opposed such duty on cat
tie and meat so strenuouslt that final
action on the matter was deferred.
Senator Simmons announced the mat
ter was settled for presentation to the
caucus in so far as wheat and flour
were concerned.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska
whose amendment to the tariff bill levy
ng a graduated tax on tobacco output
vas rejected by his colleagues on the
1nance committee, gave notice in the
senate he would carry that amend
ment to the caucus and make q deter
mined fight for it's incorporation in the
bill. i. .r
Graduated Income Tax Asked.
He also introduced an amendment
providing for graduated income tax
upon all corporations having capital
took of more than $100,000,000 and
controlling more than one-fourth Of

FOOTBALL HERO
REACHES W|LOS
Of LABRADOR
Simmonds, Former Yale Man,
Tells Thrilling Tale of Hard
ships Encountered.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. AFTER
penetrating to the center of the vast
uncharted region of Labrador, and
suffering hardships comparable only
with those of PeaTv and Scott, Price
A. Simmonds, noted Northern explorer
and famous former halfback for Yale,
is home with a thrilling narration of
his experiences
1t was his fifteenth trip through'the
Canadian wilds, and he says it was
the worst. In the early stages of the
journey he lost one Of his guides and
most of his Instruments. Pushing on
ward in the face of discouraging OBJ
stacles, he succeeded in reaching a
point more than halfway to the goal
he had set for himself before he
started. Then, weakened by starva-
ton, he was forced to turn back and
fight his way to civilization.
While shooting one of the rapids of
the RoOkey River the canoe in which
Simmonds and a guide We're riding
was smashed on the rocks. The guide
struck his head in falling from the
wrecked canoe and was killed. All
the Instruments In the canoe sank.
The party halted for five days to
obtain the body of the dead guide.
While waiting Simmonds made an
other canoe Of bark. After the body
was recovered, Simmonds packed 1t
for more than 60 miles. taking it to
the Indian reserve settlement of Shiel,
where he buried it.
Near the Upper Frazier Simmonds
found a cairn erected by Heskith
Pritchard. the English novelist. 1t
seemed to bear the date 1904, although
the figures We're blurred. The blaze
read: "Only wilderness and
weary waste ahead. Plenty of game,
Great hardships." And Simmonds
with a rock, scratched beneath it:
You are - right" and signed his
name
