Christmas in Yale Stores

1t has been quite noticeable that our
merchants have this season placed in
stock more of sensible and serviceable
goods for the holiday trade and have
omitted much of the trashy articles
which do nobody any earthly good but
which cost good money just the same
1t is also noticeable fact that the
merchants have well selected and large
stocks of goods and it has been an easy
matter to choose Christmas gifts from
the offerings which they have placed
on their shelves, their counters aud
in the show windows for inspection
and sale.
The merchants of Yale put forth
their best efforts TO cater to the public
throughout the entire year but at this
particular time, especial pains are taken
in the matter of .adornment and the
showing of goods which produces at
tractiveness and adds to the pleasure
of holiday shopping.
Who doesn't admire a pretty, tasty
shop window and well displayed stock
of goods inside. The merchants them
selves realize the Importance of this
and are most careful in all the details
of stock buying and arrangement.
The Christmas shopping days for 1914
are now over, the gifts are all purchas-
ed, wrapped and mailed and the gift
day is here once more. We trust that
the shopping has been done, as far as
possible, with home business men as
only with patronage of local interests
can a town fully develop and grow.

A Letter From Son To Mother

heard a man say this week that he
had not written his mother letter for
more than year-had not even heard
from her in that length of time. The
speaker was a man. past forty years
old, so his mother, you will see, has
reached that age where life at best,
seems empty to her.
How can man he so unmindful?
If they knew w their silence
means to their motl do not be-
lieve there would .~oh men. 1t
would be safe TO as me that in all
such cases "Mother'' wrote the last
letter that has passed between them.
And then, receiving no answer she
wrote again and again.
The son who has grown to manhood
and now has children of his own has
let time erase all memories, or at least
all affections for the home of his child
hood. But not so with the mother who
is still in that home. Time has i'm
creased her love fol. children scattered
here and there. Her many years have
taught her that making worldly goods
our goal in life is mistake. The
voices of her children would now mean
more to her than any wealth. Those
sons, then, who have been negligent,
and who may moi he able to visit their
childhood home Can at least write,
There is absolutely no excuse for not
doing so.
Christmas is here If the reader be
one who has not written home for a
year, let him send mother a letter, now.
1t will mean more to her than any
other gift she will receive.
The instance that prompted me to
write this is not new, of course. have
known men, as youprobably have, who
claimed they had not written home for
many years. All such might well make
a firm New Years resolution, right now,
and stick to it after making it-resolve
to let not another month of her life
pass without your dear old mother re-
ceiving a cheerful loving letter from
you.
