DESTRUCTIVE HAIL
STORM IN NEBRASKA

Mrs. Edith Crane received a let
ter from her sister, Mrs. Racheal
Observation-Disclosures of Atkinson,
Nebraska, saying that hail
and wind storm struck their sec
ton of the country, last Saturday,
and beat all their crops into the
ground. The wind was SO strong
that it blew new. barn they had
recently completed, off its founded
ton and warped it all out of
shape. Their chicken house was
badly demolished killing all their
chickens.
1t is a serious thing to be de-
prived of crop by a hail storm

Mrs. Hendricks have the sympathy
of all their friends.

MOTORING EXPENSE
IS COMING DOWN

That sales conditions in the auto
mobile field have been w.d ely affect
ed by the recent cuts in the price
OF gasoline, oil, tires and other sup
plies is the declaration of Vice-pre-
sident E. R. Benson OF The Stude-
baker Corporation who says that
many recent Studebaker buyers are
persons who have heretofore re
NAMED out of the market, due to
their former belief that mainten-
ance expense was greater than they
could afford.
Il had this increase efficiency
brought home to me quite forcibly
by a personal friend said Mr..
Benson. "This man owned a heavy,
costly car last year. He decided that
1.-THE cost of maintenance was too
high, and changed last winter to a
Studebaker light Six.
"Of course, the change resulted
in greatly Increased mileage for
each gallon of fuel. This saving was
rendered all the more emphatic by
the fact that he is now paying
twelve cents per gallon for gasoline
instead of twenty this due to the
general lowering of price whish has
featured the gasoline business all
over the country.
Though he has not yet bought
any new tires, and expects to get
much more than the guaranteed
mileage out of his present set, he
knows that, when the occasion "a
rises, he can secure tires for his
| Studebakler SIX at less than half
the cost of those he bought for
his last years car.
A satisfactory grade of lubricat-
ing oil can be bought for twenty
five per cent less than he paid a
year ago, and goes infinitely furthe
| in supplying the needs CT his car.
And feature of which he is moi
yet aware is the lowered cost OF
winter overhaul;ng, adjustments an
possible installation of repairs.
His Studebaker Six is SO design.
ed that the owner himself, if he
chooses, can take down any unit
needing adjustments. If he has the
work done at a garage, this merit
is just as strong, as the amount
of labor involved is comparatively
small, delivery is prompt, and the
bill is accordingly reasonable.
The prospective motorist who ma
have had acquaintnce with a Garag
mans delight will be amazed at TIL
efficiency and economical record O.

sort every day.

THE TRUE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I cannot say Christmas brings me the joy it once did for cannot look at it in the same way. I recognize we ought to never let Christmas joy die out but those who have advanced so far in life they have memories instead of near and dear ones there is a gloom which throws a shadow upon the hu- man heart even upon this blessed day.
 l have been asking myself if we do keep Christmas in the true Christian spirit? I wonder if Christ would have observed it as his followers are doing? Is the Church Christmas tree a sym bol Of thes unselffish spirit of Christ, or of the selfish spirit he so per sistently warned us against2 Do not his followers searching out and lifting up in compassion and love those who were so poor or ignorant, or indiffer- ent they had no loving guardians to lock after their well-being, to impress them as Gods angels keep guard over us. so we should keep guard over those who need our guardianship and who suffer more because of our lack of interest and manifest love?
 Do you know Sisters, that I some times think all Christian organiza- tions, (we must, perhaps, except the Salvation Army), are guilty of taking pride in important selfish things they do openly when they should be ardent ly doing the simple things bade them to do lovingly in memory of Him. Do we seek out the one lost sheep at great personal peril and sacrifice and

HOMEMADE cHRIsrMAs GIFTS.

Dear Social Corner Friends: Am sending some Christmas suggestions which hope may help someone out at the last moment. s4
 For years have made practice of remembering some children at Christ mas time who get presents from no one.
 As the pocketbook is not always equal tof my love for giving, have originated some things of which have never heard from anyone else :.
 Picture slipe-During the year save all good pictures of animals, birds, fruit or good plain views of buildings or any suitable thing. Now take your picture and paste on pasteboard the same size (a. good way to get rid of old boxes), then cut in strips an inch wide If the picture is that of a horse. cut in five strips and at the end of each strip place a letter-H- on top piece, O on next, and so on till all the letters in horse" are used. .Use the same method for bird. flower Or what .ever the picture is. The children who have nothing love to put these to- gether. sess.s ..s s.-..
 Picture Puzzies-Instead of strips you may cut them out in all sorts of shapes; but be careful to make them easy for little folks.
 The pictures best suited for these are the colored ones-to be, found in magazines. You would be surprised, and touched. too. to see how much pleasure these simple little gifts give to the children.
 Story Bo0ks-Last Christmas made another gift that greatly pleased both myself. and the school children who received them. I knew some children whose stock of story cooks wasT very limited: yet they were often asked to fecite in school balug children who spoke plainly and well conceived } the idea of rnaktus thsm bcczas I

 It is also an excellent remedxs for unnamed eyes. or any kind of inEam- nation of man or animals. It tlSems to cure me with only two or threA.ap pllcations. It has been of great, Alue in our family for years. I will give a few recipes:
 SeaIloped chieken-Boil al chicken till tender; remove bones and chop. put into a bake dish layer of schfEken. a layer of bread crumbs, butter, k salt and pepper; fill the dish in alternate layers, pouring over all the chicken gravy. Bake till a light brown.

If you like him. or you love him, tell him now; Don't withhold your appreciation till the parson makes oratton As he lies with snowy lilies OCT his brow; For. no matter how you shout It. he won't really care about It; He won't know how many teardrops you have shed; If you think some praise is due him, now's the time to slip it to him, For he cannot read his tombstone when he's dead!

The children say: Now we won't have to ask teacher any more for pieces to speak.
 Picture Blocks = For quite small children, use small pictures of anil maIsi babies, flowers, anything that will please the little tots. Cut out straight and paste on smooth wooden blocks the same size of picture and about one-half inch thick. My neigh bor's boy (12 years old) sawed out the blocks for me
 As Dreamer truthfully remarked, the beauty of the Social Corner lies in it's nracticability, and we know the writ CTS are sincere in what they write. so I am venturing to suggest more gifts that I know have pleased both giYer and recipient.
 For the children, who of course come first to our minds at Christmas, there are dolls. books, games for the girls, and first and foremost, from my own experience, for both sexes come blocks Gall kinds). They are durable and in- structive and the children find them a never enQ1nS source OI dIiuSein611l
 For the little babies the red rubber toys are nice, as they may be boiled each day and kept perfectly clean.
 Of course, the boys like sleds, trains, boats and the celluloid toys that sail in the water.
 A queer feature I have noticed is that a small toy gives greater pleasure than a large one.
 For the child who has an abund- ance of toys, pretty individual piece of china: for instance, a dainty cup and saucer, or an oatmeal dish, or plate, are greatly appreciated.
 Handkerchiefs, ties blouSes, stock ings, in fact. anything to wear, is gen. orally appreciated by mother and child and can be made to have holiday ap- pearance by the wrappings.
 The city friend Is delighted by a gift of fresh eggs Ca little message written on each, if you wish), a basket of hickory nuts or apples. little pud- ding or pie, some gingham aprons or holders
 The country friend would appreciate a new book. magazine subscription, a bit of fancy work, a pretty negligee or a dainty piece of china.
