Herbert Kaufman in Woman's
World: Tay. tap, .tap-can't YOU hear it
against your Misunderstanding with
tattered wings-feebly f1uttering-gen-
Y There's a lost dream out there under
the plying stars-a: dream born in the
simple trust of childhood-once radiant
with faith, but now spent and weary
with journeying from heart to heart.
Ever so man. years ago you, too,
sped such a hope-spangled message
into the dark. When the first crystal
skies broke into diamond dust and
silvered copse and mead, your magma
ton leaped astride a prancing snow
and over the woods, upon. a moonbeam,
to Santa Claus and whispered your
yearnings into his kind old ears.
And sure enough, when you slipped
out of bed. and crept downstairs on
Christmas morning, there was the tree
exactly as o wanted it. n the.
stocking filed precisely as you expect
ed, with the orange bullying in the toe
and the monkey-on-the-stiCk %grinning
impudent1y at the top.
y The memory of your first sled is still
as vivid as its Goa of crimson. You
didn't tell him to decorate it, and 1T
was mighty fine of him to put such a
beautiful oil painting in the middle.
You had taken your mother into your
confidence. so she knew every item Of
the list: and myi but wasn't she SUR
prised to think old Santa Claus, with
all the other children in the world to
look out for, had remembered you SO
generously?
The very fact that God guided our
hopes to safety should make us so
grateful for memories that bring with
them the faces and voices of dearly
Beloved ones asleep under weeping.
willows and b%rooding cypresses-that
it ought to be a joy to bring happiness
in their names.

WATCHING THE ROLL CALL.

THE plain citizen who tries to obey
the Injunction, Watch your congress-
mani is apt to find himself in a weller
OF statistics now and then that does not
greatly assist him in judging Of the
value Of his representative at Washing
ton.
IAN Illinois newspaper, for EXAM
pie, has prepared for it's readers a table
Of the attendance Of the members of the
Illinois delegation during the recent
Special session. Just one of these rep
resentatives answered every roll call,
although several others approached
this record. One of the senators miss
ed sixty-three roll calls, the other
missed seventy-four. But as the vot-

whom he cast his ballot a year ago, he
is Warned that many of these roll calls
were unifnportant, being demanded
merely to disclose the presence or the
absence OF a quorum, which, wher
found. did nothing but mark time while
waiting for the senate to act upon tbs
currency bill.

TUBERCULOSIS in THE ALPS.

If anyone were asked to pick out the
country with the least tuberculosis he
would say Switzerland, probably. On
the contrary, this home Of sanitariums
and cures has a higher tuberculosis
rate than any of the European nations
excepting Austria-Hungary and Ire
land. Almost four-ffths of all deaths
in this mountainous country are from
the great white plague.
How is it possible?
It is for the same reason that so
many farmers families are stricken
in this country. There is little sani-
tation, there Is plenty Of fresh air out
side: out as the climate Is cold, the
windows are kept down, and inside
there is precious little.
The people of Switzerland must be
educated up to their mountains. They
must be made to appreciate fresh air
and cooperate with nature in fighting
the disease. And this is equally true
Of the people on the wind swept prai-
ries Of North Dakota.

SATURDAY, DEC. 13, 1918.
SENSE,

It is only to be expected that a
n~ewspape man would believe that the
Newspaper is the best advertising me-
dunn. But when such men as John
Wanamaker and the late Marshall
Field Of Chicago make the statement
that the newspaper is paramount as a
publicity gency hat statement has
a peculiar significance.
In the same way a statement, made
last week by Horace Anderson, ad-
vertising manage for the Title Guar
antee & Trust Co, of New York,
which spends $4,000 a ear for ad-
| vertising, comes with convincing
force:
Mr.. Anderson spoke from the view
point of the banker, but what he said
is worth repeating for the benefit Of
The merchant and the manufacturer,
too. The speaker talked Of the great
number of people who may be dissat-
isfed for any of a thousand reasons
with their present banking facilities
and who are seeking other banks.
They are in the same class with the
| people who are dissatisfied with their
present shaving soap, or machine oil,
or coffee, or shoes or any other article
OF merchandise. They want to change.
but they know not where to turn.
Now here is the way Mr.. Anderson
thinks the bankers should go after
! business Of this class. and it is the
Identical method which every other
business man should pursue:
You must do some kind of ad-
vertising that will keep you in the
mind Of possible users Of your
bank, so that they may think Of
you when the time comes
they want a. bank, be the time one
month from now, one year from
now or ten years from now.
In my opinion, the standard
daily newspapers Of New York
city are the best mediums to &C
complish his reSuBt. ] mean just
what l say, the standard daily
For the purpose of
making a general impression, do
not believe in using the religious
or the business or trade publica-
lions. the theatrical or the funny
papers. the fraternal, the financial
or the local society papers. nor do
l believe in using programmes nor
billboards. These all have their
use in the proper time and place,
but not for the p Of making
a general, lasting impression.

Chicago Daily News: President Will
son properly regards the subject Of
farm credits as one requiring careful
study by congress and early action
beneficial to farmers. He is right in
thinking that the federal department
Of agriculture can best aid the farmers
of the nation aftef the latter are en-
abled to borrow honey IN reasonable
terms to be used in making farming
IAN efficient business, of wide CO.
operative effort, in quick touch with
the markets for foodstuffs." ~i
q People OF the cities are constantly
DINING into the farmers ears the nee
essity for better and more productive
agricultural methods. In the midst of
all this talk the fact is commonly lost
sight Of that to apply such methods
requires a good deal of money and that
the farmer is rarely a capitalist. 1t is
well enough to preach to the farmer
respecting ideal methods of tillage and
Of farm management In general. But
the ermon are largely wasted unless
a way Is found to aid him In getting
money on fair terms to put these meth
DDS into practice.
The farmer needs the privilege OF
borrowing one IA long term loans
secured by his land Ink drawing mod
crate interest. That is fundamental.
AS President Wilson says in his an
nuaI message, it is a many sided ques-
ton and well worth the attention OF
congress.

THE PLIGHT OF A PEOPLE.

Descriptions Of hat caravan that
desert to the American border. seek
ing refuge from the ravages of war
and from warning factions, fill the
imagination with a spectacle such as
has been equaIed but rarely in recent
years on the North American CONT
nent.
1t is to be hoped that Americans will
give a thought to that flight Of a peo-
pie from their home, rather than to
the deXterous Juggling Of politicians
in Mexico City and Washington.
h people Of Mexico are the prin-
cipals in the Mexican drama-not the
politicians and the generals, a y The
st. Louis Times.
After the so-called leaders have
come to an understanding, there will
remain a sadly long period of poverty
and hardship for the people, who will
have to pay the price of d~espotism,
treachery, personal ambition and iner-
ficiency on the part Of the clan lead
ers.
The Mexican winter will soon be
settling in; and hundreds of thous-
ands of people living in adobe"
shacks, with no lea save the blazing
of mesquite faggots on the hearth, and
10 clothing save thin cotton garments
and no food save the irregular rations
of beans and ~unleavened bread, will
realize anew how heavy is the price
they must pay when the cunning anG
the constituencies have laid the lant
waste because Of their greed.
Most Americans think of the Mexi.
can situation with relation to thei,
own affairs. The other, darker side
the side Of the Mexican people-shoult
be considered by those who wish t,
grasp the full significance of the stu
alton.

tax sale at the courthouse, while lots
in other towns in the county went to
sale for delinquent taxes, very few
lots in jamestown were offered, for
the reason that the taxes had been

something unusual. n the list of
delinquent taxes on Jamestown city
property was the smallest in many
years.
