WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TOWARD
CARRYING CHRISTMAS CHEER
TO THE DESTITUTEi

Christmas ~ but a few days or The
shops are dressed in holiday attire,
the gaudiness Of their wares dazzle
our eyes-it is the approaching Yule-
tide season.
Children without food and clothing,
mothers i'll, fathers out OF employ
ment, the chilly wintry winds whist
ling through the broken lights, the
unheated home. What IL Christmas
to folks like these?
An atmosphere Of horror hovers
over them with the approach of win
ter, the father grieves because he Is
helpless to provide the real necessities
Of life. the mother worries because the
little ones know not the Yuletide joy,
the youngsters wonder why Santa
does not visit their house Christmas
comes and Christmas goes-leaving
the destitution the same.
While we pursue our own paths in
the quest Of joy and merriment at
this season, let N not forget or over
look the predicament Of those less for
tunate-the ones who are destitute,
helpless and worthy.
Now l. the time to prove yourself
a good fellow-to let those in need
realize there is more than one Santa.
'Tis your duty to do your utmost to
relieve the poor and needy at this
hour
Ill Will make their Christmas bright
er, and yours one of goodness-good-
ness by deed not word.

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR HORS

HORSE


The enormous number of horses
to be bought in this country for war
needs in Europe encourage farmers
and others to raise them more freely.
Military experts are being strongly
impressed with the value of the horse.
1t seems likely that cavalry forces all
over the world will b. permanently
strengthened.
Home conditions are also looking
well for the breeders. A few years
40 predictions we're common Of q
"horseless age" soon to come Events
have falsified them.
There is nearly human compan-
ionship in the horse. Horseback rid
ing Oh spirited nag thus has Ill the
zest Of a game.
Horse breeders quite frequently
complain that they read in the papers
that certain prices can be had for
given types of horses, but that when
they ship their own animals to mar
ket they fail to get the prices.
Dealers say this is because many
breeders, practical farmers who raise
a few a. a side issue, do not under
stand the characteristics of the various
types of animals. 1t is not so much
a matter Of breed, as conformity to
style of certain type 80 animal
may have good roading speed. But
if he lacks the welI-rounded form and
stylish action that shall make him a
picture to delight the eye as car

Pursuit and Capture of Train Rob-

Their Duties.

Eleven rObheres or attempted robberies

in the annual report of Chief Post Office
Inspector Joe p. Johnston. The total
number of persons arrested for implica-

loss through robberies is comparatively
small.
