in the December issue OF the Woman's
Home Companion, lis the custom OF
setting lighted candles in the windows
on Christmas Eve to give holiday
greeting TO the %passerby, but little use

in our country. Baltimore, however,
has had "a city-wide lighting of candles
which was so successful that it is e
peated each year.
Weeks before Christmas, when plans
were being made for the Community
Tree, it was requested that each house
hold set lighted candles in the parlor
windows to wish merry Christmas
to their fellow townspeople, not even
tae most enthusiastic supporter of the
candle greeting expected to see half
the number Of windows that were
lighted.

Contending that the railroads have
made substantial improvements in the
passenger service, thus adding to the
convenience and safety OF the service,
and have incurred great expense in
creating these improvements. the inter
state commission recently
announced the fixing of new passenger
rates on western railroads. South Da.
kota will not be affected by the new
rates which will go into effect about
February /, since the basic rate of two
and one-haif cents per mile is already in
effect here. The Minnesota rate will
be advanced to "a cents per mile and
rates from 30 to 90 cents per mile are
granted in Wisconsin, Iowa. Nebraska
and the upper peninsula of Michigan.
Now that they have won a victory
which will add many millions of dollars
tn their exchequer each year it is hoped
South Dakota's railroads will be sup
piled with better equipment.

ONCE BANKER, FULLER
is NOW day LABORER
When Bank Failed He Was
Glad to Get Strenuous Job.

Winslow, Ill.-From q we'll dressed
banker to a day laborer in ~overalls is
the transition of j.. Bradley Fuller,
who, with his sisters owned and OPP
Grated the private bank of Fuller &
Son at Winslow. Necessity forced the
former banker to obtain means of sup
port.
The only occupation available was
that of helping manufacture concrete
blocks. He is paid So a day for ten
hours and is locked for every hour in
which he is not occupied.
Upon the recent return of Fuller
from the east, his departure taking
place just n week prior to the fail
ure of the bank, he was on the verge
of nervous ,prostration. The sympathy
of his friends assisted in restoring his
nerves to their normal condition. and
he announced his willingness to take
any kind of work which afforded HIM
self and his family a living.
After seeking in vain for some oc-
cupation more remunerative and with
less physical labor involved, he went
to work with the concrete firm and
expects to remain there until some
thing more inviting develops. His
family take their reduced circum-
stances philosophically, all seeking IN
ployment in order to contribute to the
common fund.
The report of the auditing board, of
which d. Il. Graham, president of the
First National bank of Freeport. is
chairman, shows that the liabilities of
the Winslow bank are S16S,647, while
the assets are $120,935. On this basis
depositors viii receive about 10 cents
on the dollar. The auditor assumed
that the assets credited to a furniture
manufacturing company of Manitowoc,
Wis. amounting to $4,000. would not
depreciate.

the least potent reason for this belief
