BRING JOY TO UNFoRTUNATEs.
Dallas Family Made Happy By
Thoughtfulness of Friends.

With Christmas comes another seas
on-or it is feeling when the
brotherhood of man, the beneficient
nature characteristic of most human
beings, expresses itself in doing unto
others those little things that make
the heart feel bigger, whet your appe.
tite, and gives You feeling of salts
faction with all things and people
Coldly put, this is charity. But in
some givers the action is not inspired
by charity, but by the knowledge that
they are doing to their brother or sis
ter as they would have them do unto
them. A case that demanded charity,
but which received rather than that
this spirited aid, as from brother to
brother, or sister to sister; a little
home in southeast Dallas where sick
ness, and a combination of other ad-
versities, has conspired to level a
large family to state of actual want,
was brought to the attention of sever
al of the brotherhood early in the
week. Richard Reiman, with a wife
and five children, had been out of
employment for long time, and the
bread in the larder had become so
nearly exhausted that bed-ridden
child was not being properly nourish-
ed.
Mr.. Reiman was taken to the hos
pital early in the week with typhoid
fever. The ladies of the Needle Guild
investigated the case, and though it
was an unfortunate one it was not Of
the charity kind. Mr.. Reiman, when
able, is a good and willing worker.
But the ladies were more than pleas
ed to furnish the necessary clothing.
Henry Serr canvassed among the mer-
chants in the city and their donations.
when turned over to the Needle Guild,
presented a remarkable Christmas for
the unfortunate family. There were
$24 in cash, two sacks of -four, do
mated by a travelling salesman who
heard Of the case, one sack of pota-
toes, five pairs of shoes, and a great
collection of meats and groceries with
orders for more. Thus will this fam
lily be able to return thanks for
bountiful Christmas season. 1t took
Mr.. Serr only short time to collect
the things he turned over to the la
dies. Mr.. Reiman will soon be about
again and can undertake the earning
of the livelihood the family enjoyed
before adversely visited it.

ART CALENDARS.
"The Rose Girl" and 1.-THE Sweetest
Girl I Know"

Girl I Know
Have you seen them in our show
windows? If so you surely realize
that | have made a special effort to
completely dwarf anything heretofore
attempted in Dallas in the way of
fine art calendars. "The Rose Girl, "
" A perfect woman, nobly planned, to
warn, to comfort and command. And
yet a spirit still and bright, with
something of an angel light" This
is the finest art calendar by long
long odds ever seen in Dallas. / have
very limited number of them, and
you will be fortunate indeed if you
secure one. Because of the high cost
of this particular calendar | cannot
give them away after the manner US
ually followed, but here is the plan
by which you may be sure of one:
If your purchases at this store be-
tween now and January 1st, 1916,
amount in the aggregate to $500,
one of them will be reserved for you.
"The Sweetest Girl | Know
beautiful water-color production is
a finer art calendar than ever before
given away in this city. To secure
one of these You must come to the
store between now and December 2,5
and register your name. and the cal
endar will be given to you when you
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1915-12-14

call any time after the first of Janu-
ary, 1916. Remember, however, that
they will be given in the order Of reg
istration until the supply is exhaust
ed. When this happens, those who
have registered will receive a small
size "Rose Girl" You must regis
ter for yourself. "By proxy" will not
secure the reservation Of a calendar.
In conclusion concerning the cal
endars, | am very happy to give a
fine calendar to the good people who
have been my patrons during the past
year, but | am not extremely anxious
to give out fine calendars to those
whose only interest in this store or
myself is limited to the receipt of an
art calendar, and who never cast their
shadow in the door until calendar
time comes again. Of course you are
not one of that kind, but you know
of course there are a few in Dallas
who feel that way about it.
/ sincerely thank the many friends
and patrons for the support given me
in the past, and as the last sound of
the twelfth stroke of the clock dies
trembling away on the cold, clear mid
night air, as the old year fees into
the Businesses of eternity before the
eager footsteps of the new, may there
dawn for you a year of joy and
thanksgiving, health and happiness,
and peace.

OFFICIALS TAKE IN STRANGER
Stray Canine Finds Warm Welcome
at the Court House.

A woody, white mongrel pup, and
as much mongrel as dogs usually get
before the pound master puts an end
to their really unnecessary lives, has
been adopted by the officials and EN-
ployes in the county court house. Ac-
cording to rule and book a politician
is supposed to be devoid of heart and
to have about as much sympathy as a
German torpedo, so that the case at
hand, one which has reached to every
corner of the court house, is especial
ly interesting. For two days and two
nights the dog remained on the north
steps of the building, refusing to rec
ognize either hunger or coaxlng
enough to be enticed within those
cold, grey walls. First to take an IN
terest in the pup was Frank Meyers,
county assessor; interest enough, in
deed, to force the animal to break its
forty-eight hour fast with good meat
which Mr.. Meyers brought from the
butchers. During the time the dog had
been on the steps it could have had
nothing to eat. While Mr.. Meyers
was getting meat Chester Siefarth, by
some unknown strategy, induced the
dog to go inside the building, where
it refused to eat until all spectators
had departed. The entire five pounds
of meat provided by the county as
SCISSOR was missing the next morning,
but the dog was still on the job. That
was last week, and today the ragged
pup is at home in the basement, en-
ioying the scraps from several tables.
including that of Mr.. Whitney, the
superintendent of the building. And
everyone in the court house lavishes
attention upon the animal, at the
same time wondering "Whose Dog
Are You?'
Until that question is solved the

it concerns anyone in the court house.
is interesting. Assessor Meyers. the
original benefactor, has probably most |
correctly solved the puzzle. 1t is pre-
sumed that the dog followed its mas
ter to the north steps of the court
house. where it was left to wait. When
the owner had transacted his business
he thoughtlessly went out the south .
door and home. Intelligent enough
to stay where is was put. in contrast
to many human beings. the dog was
determined to remain until its master
came out again. and the only differ
ence in its predicament now is that it
is enjoying peace and plenty waiting
for the boss to return. Until such a
time the woody, white dog with kind
ly eve and bob tail hob-nobs with its
friends throughout the court house.

Recent events have shed new light
on the practice of selling American
products at one price at home and at
another price aboard. A few years
ago there was much criticism of some
manufacturing concerns which, in or
der to keep men employed and factor
les running full capacity, produced
more goods than the home markets
would absorb and sold the surplus
abroad at a reduced price. The re-
duced price was necessary in order
TO sell the goods in competition with
the foreign producer. Now, it ap-
puars. the u. S. Steel corporation is
selling much of its product abroad at
higher prices than received at home.
IN the former Instance, as at present,
the foreign sales gave employment to
American labor and furnished mar
