The most difficult duty imposed
upon the Secretary of the Interior is
that of determining the "area of
land necessary for the support of
family" The law wisely requires
this to be done, not only to prevent
speculation in lands, but in order
that there shall be farms for all who

tion 160 acres have been considered
necessary for the support of a family
in the United States. But land was
plentiful when this unit was estab-
lished, transportation was difficult
and conditions of farm life burden
some. Seldom in the pioneer days

GOOD WILL AND GOOD CHEER

humanity's antiphonal to the chorus of the
angels.
With our brother men clashing in conflict on
a hundred battle-felds this can hardly be a
time for merriment. The exigencies are too
tragic for us to be other than serious minded.
But we ought at least to be men and women of
goodwill and of good cheer. This is no time
for pessimism or for craven fear for the future
of the world For when the men of the Cressy
can go down to their watery graves bravely
singing ITS long way to CO." and when the
crew of the Gneisenau can pluckily cheer for
the Kaiser as their noble ship plunges into the
depths, we can meet this supreme hour of the
worlds need by calm confidence that the Prince
of Peace will yet rule in the affairs of men.
Ambassador Herrick On his return to this
country said that he had been impressed ''by
the way in which the American people had
opened their hearts in this great cOnflagra-
ton, This is the perennial summons of the
Christmas season, and this Christmas above
all others, that we open our hearts in goodwill
and with good cheer, to others here at home
and across the seas. And so may there be in
all our hearts paean of "Glory to God in the
highest and prayer that there may come
soon abiding peace on earth and goodwill
among men.

When the angels over Bethlehem sang
"Peace on Earth" militarism was rampant
throughout the Roman Empire. The men who
heard the heavenly chorus were only few
shepherds up on the hills. Down in Bethlehem
itself only few days later, there was instead
a wall Rachel weeping for her children"
The conditions now are changed for the
worse only in degree. 1t would have been
hopeless task for the angels to gain hearing
for their evangel Of peace in garrisoned Jerusa-
lem, quite as much as it would be today in Lon
don, Paris, or Berlin. But that fact did not
diseredit that evangel then, and it does not
now.
The emergence of humanity out of its brute
instincts has been slow, and the disappointing
reversions to type have been frequent. But we
know that this is ineomparably better world
to live in than it was once, and the chorus OF
the angels strikes more responsive chord in
the convictions of men this present Christmas
season than it ever has before
For the glory and glamour of war have been
forever eclipsed in the smitten homes OF Eu-
rope, and among the fighters in the trenches,
and in the hearts of the masses of men in neu-
trail nations And doubtless the longing for
righteous, honorable, permanent peace on earth
is finding expression in millions of hearts as

GETTING THE BIG WAR NEWS.

The completeness of the war news furnished
to the reading public of Hawaii by the daily
papers is emphasized in letter written to a
resident of this city by Rev. A. H. Armstrong
of st. Louis, superintendent of the Missouri
Congregational conference. He had just re-
ceived a bundle of Honolulu papers and com
ments: -
81 note the very interesting report, dated
November %, that a feet of English warships
was coming around the Horn after the Ger
mans. No such news was reported here. AS a
matter of fact, however, that was just what
they were doing, and Yesterdays papers
brought the story of the sinking of four Of
them, the Dresden only having escaped. 2
ST. Louis papers did not, it appears, get the
news of one of the really big naval moves of
the war until after the battle off the Falklands.
Honolulu not only had the news but had it so
definitely and with such accompanying and
following facts that this paper was able to pre-
dict with almost absolute certainty the meet
ing Of the German and British ships off the
east coast of South America.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

Here is another significant sign Of the times:
Winnipeg, Man., Dec. Premier Sir Rod
mond Robin announces in a long statement
that the Manitoba government has decided to
take drastic action in curtailing the liquor
traffic during the war period.
ssThe Forthcoming session of the legislature
will be asked to pass government bill giving
municipalities the right to limit by majority
vote the number Of licenses and clause will be
inserted giving the government special powers
to eurtail the hours at which liquor may be
sold in time of public stress "
While the government has not these powers
now, the premier proposes to invite all retail
liquor dealers in the province, as well as social
clubs, to close bars and the sale of liquor at
o'clocks in the evening instead of at IL o'clock,
as at present, and the wholesalers to close at s
o'clock.
AS the government controls the licenses, it
IS practically certain that early closing of the
bars viii become general throughout the prov
inces immediately"

Reports that Austria has approached Seryia
with overtures of peace sound plausible But
Servia is not at all likely to respond to such
overtures The Serbs have performed brilliant
~ against Austria; their army seems to be
growing stronger instead of weaker as the war
drags along; and they are performing very
useful function for the Allied cause. Servia
is keeping several Austrian Corps very busy
in one part of the Dual Monarchy, preventing
their joining the soldiers who are being sent

Austria would be far stronger in upper Hun
