Will Donate Pro-

On account of the fact that a
large portion of the advertising
has been done the Eagle Orches-
ira will hold their usual Friday
evening dance at the Eagle Hall
on the coming Friday evening.
The orchestra hac no desire to
conflict with the Charity Ball ar
engagements but on account of
the fact that announcement had
been made of the dance they de-
cided to fulfill their schedule.
However, the Eagle lodge do
mated the hall for Friday evening
of this week and thus has coop
Grated with the orchestra in a
plan by which they also may help
in the Charity work in this city
as the entire proceeds of the
dance will be placed in the bank
subject to draft of the committee
on charity.

CHRISTMAS SPIRIT IS IN THE
AIR

Three weeks more of dark
ening dayslY groans the pessi-
mist. "Only three weeks to
Christmas and the turn of the
SUM" cry the children and the
other optimists. The radiance
Of thesePlate days of autumn and
the Christmasy appearance Of the
shops already testify to the pre-
Valence of the sunshine and the
spirit Of Christmas.
The longheaded and the fore
handed began the day after
Thanksgiving to take thought Of
preparations for Christmas. Only
those who have their plans laid
out by this time and the active
campaign fo1 fulfilling them UNI
der way can appreciate the lux
urious feeling of comfort that
the early start gives. 1t takes
away the rushed and crowded
sensation that those who delay
till the last week have. IL adds
"A distinct and genuine element
to enjoyment Of Christmas in
prospect.
One of the ways in which the
Christmas spirit can be made to
prevail more widely, that spirit
which Wordsworth expressed as
Joy in widest commonalty spread
is through taking thought OF all
upon whom Christmas brings adj
ditiOnal work. Every day this
month we should wish to do all
in our power TO lessen their la
bors and tighten their loads. The
postman, the expressman and the
clerk are among those to whom
Christmas brings extra burdens

called upon this month, especial
ly the last 10 days before Christ

fort. Their labor may be mater

ONE DAYS PROSPERITY NEWS

In one day, on one page, in one
newspaper, we found the follow
ing indications of the growing
prosperity that has come to this
country.
One man at South Bend, Ind,
received orders for $4,000, 900
worth of automobiles, wagons,
sleds, harness and equipment
from England. British orders
were placed with a Kenosha, Wis.
firm for 500 automobile trucks.
The French government placed
orders for 100000 worth of
automobiles with Jackson, Mich
firm. A British order was re-
ceived in Chicago for 100000
cne-pound cans of corned beef.
A Provo, Utah, wooden mill re-
ceived a rush order for $4,000
blankets through a San Francisco
agent of a foreign government
In Chicago, 100000 bushels of
wheat were sold for export to
Europe. st. Louis and Omaha
each reported 100000 bushels of
wheat sold for export; 10000
bushels were shipped from Mil
waukee; 100000 bushels of corn
and $4,000 bushels of oats were
sold in Chicago for export and
Kansas City land seaboard points
reported big demand for expert
On the same day, on the same
page of the same paper was the
report Of speech made to prom
inent manufacturers at PhiIadel-
phia by the ambassador of Ar
gentine to the United States in
which he discussed the best meth
DDS for American manufacturers
and business men to get the trade
of Argentine which has been go
ing to England, but which is now
practically at a stand still. In
this speech, after outlining a
feasible plan for getting this bus
mess, he said: II do not believe

The UNIVERSAL MOOD

There seems to have been, for
some unexplained reason, spon-
taneous and simultaneous move
ment all over the country to or
ganize in hundreds upon humid
reds of towns an Associated Char
tiles. Newspapers are full just
lately Of proceedings in cities
and towns to make plans for sys-
tematic giving. The use of the
name Associated Charities seems
to bestow upon the movement the
dignity, good reputation, and spe-
ciflc line of activities for which
for many years the title Associat-
cd Charities has stood.

MEXICAN ECONOMICS.

For sheer ingenuity in poPularizing his cause
and financing its popularization we bow to Gen.
Pancho Villa temporarily of Chihuahua.
Flour has been selling in Chihuahua at SO per
sack. This is, of course, price, alse a price
quoted in Mexico's deprecated currency. The risks
of the trade are considerable just row, and it does
not transpire that excessive profits being made
by the Touring mills before the advent of the rebels
forced their closing But Villa has con6scated them,
is grinding and wheat in them fast ever he
can, and flooding the joyous market with meal
at ST so.
State management of the mills has thus reduced
the price by 1918 per cent. II is signal triumph
for the people, clear demonstration of the success
of government ownership >of industries. And there
is no possibility of eventual loss. The simultaneous
conhscation of the wealth of the Cree and Terrazas
families has provided fund the drafts on which
to meet deficits from milling operations will never
be felt by and probably never known to the public
so long at least as the fund lasts.
1t so happens that in the line of possible sue
cessors to Huerta Villa now stands first His ideas
of economics are thus of little concern to this
country. If this is their real brand and he should
actually manage to get into power we can look for
ward to an era of financial chaos comparable with
that of the French Revolution. And yet, outrageous
as it would be, wholesale con6scation and wastage
of property may be the necessary step to the dssi-
patton of the great estates that today Mexicos
curse just as they were that of France before the
Revolution began and which the Revolution cor
rected. ., -'

THE WORLDS BURDEN OF DEBT.

If debt were always measure of extravaganza
In nations as it often is in individuals, the United
States, whose people usually considered the most
astefui of ALL could claim to be the most thrifty
But as is well known, the United States afford
10 spend without borrowing while European nations,
IN many cases, cannot do so. According to statis-
tics recently compiled, Uncle Sam owes 1,O28, ,OOO,-
200, while France, which has the largest national
debt is S6,2S4O 100000 behind with her creditors.
England, an inveterate borrower, comes next with
of 81 961 OOOO OOO while Germany incIud-
ing both the Empire and the allied states, ranks third
win $4,914,OOO,OO0. Russia is only little behind
her neighbor the west and Austria and Italy trail
3 long after.
These figures, in themselves, might not appear
10 be especially significant it not for the fact
that the estimated national debts of the world,
represent an increase of SlO,OOO,-
100000 in ten years and have more than doubled in
Drty years. Account for it as we will in the case
e. each nation this is an age of spending md fnanc-
g. Future generations may not be ready as the
esent one to accept the view that such staggering
Irden should be shifted on their shoulders.

THE FELs FUND COMMISSION.

The Joseph Fels Fund Commission will hold its
annual meeting in Washington January Is, l6, and
H. The occasion will be taken advantage of for the
purpose of general conference of taxation reform
ers of whom a large number have promised to at
tend
The Fels fund is about FIVE years old, founded by
Joseph Fels, of Philadelphia. Mr.. Fels has long
been one of the angels of the Liberal party in Great
Britain a backer, with money and influence of the
great fight of Lloyd-George; first for his budgetry
reforms, and now for the land scheme by which the
chancellor proposes to bring back the control of the
land to the people.
1t seemed strange chimera when Sir Horace
Plunkett Gladstone and the other pioneers in that
work, undertook the passage of the Irish land laws,
by which the peasants were to be financed in buying
their lands from the alien But the plan has
worked so magniRcently that Ireland is now widely
reputed the most prosperous agricultural country in
Europe If it is not yet its development is certain
ly all in the direction of making it that The land is
getting back into the hands of the people, and they
find themselves able to pay for it. All they ever
needed was the chance to break up the great hold
ings, and the credit and chance to buy These the
government provided and the community has thus
lifted itself up by its economic bootstraps to a new
prosperity which, to an Irishman with recoections
of 46 in his mind, would seem fantastcalIy impos-
sible. Fl. .....
1t being demonstrated that the land can, after
all be engineered and financed back into the hands
of the people, LIoyd-George proposes to carry the
Irish scheme into Scotland and England. 1t will be
modified, of course; but the essence will be the
same
In this great work of rescumg British agriculture
Mr.. Fels has taken a leading part. But he has not
neglected his own country He established the Fels
fund, giving S250O0 a year for the promotion Of
taxation and land ownership reform, on condition
that the commission in charge of this fund shall raise
an equal amount from other sources, and attend to
spending the money in furtherance of the move
ment.
Ireland is steadily increasing its number of farm
owners, and reducing the number of its farming
peasantry Everybody knows that the exact reverse
of that is the rule in this country; the number of
farm owners who manage their farms steadily
decreases while the proportion of tenant farmers
correspondngly increases. The reforms that Fels
and Lloyd and Asquith propose for Britain are ex
pected to turn the tide there, they have done in
Ireland. The Fels Fund Commission is engaged in
an effort to start corresponding movement in this
country with the hope that it will produce like
suits 1t surely is most promising forecast of great
er agricultural efficiency, and, therefore, of lower
cost of existence

OF course, there is no agreement between Eng

governments at the San Francisco exposition. 1t was
|ltogether to be expected that this announcement
would quickly follow the publication of stories about
uch an agreement
Denials of this kind usually are what diplomacy

that, with their intense commercial rivalry, either
Britain or Germany would overlook the opportunity
