Robinson Elevator Now Ready

The Robinson elevator, moved to it's
new location opposite the Farmers
Elevator, has been completely remod-
eled, new warehouse added, more
adequate office rooms constructed and
everything is now in readiness to take
care of the incoming grain. The ele-
vator is now located on spur track
of the Great Northern and the ship
ping facilities are much superior to
those. enjoyed at the former location.
In addition to these conveniences the
present location affords better advan-
tages to the public patronizing this
elevator, inasmuch as there is ample
ward room in which the farmer may
feed his team while he is taking this
opportunity to go up town and attend
to business matters.

the contract, as the certified check
which accompanied the bid, had been
returned to the company when Mr..

ESTABLISHING CHRISTMAS
 CUSTOMS

One of the reasons why Christmas giving has become burdensome is because many affectionate and generous per sons are apt at this season to recall acts of kindness or think of distant friends and impul- sively send unexpected Christ mas gifts. Each recipient, not to be outdone in friendliness, therefore sends back a gift.
 Next year each thinks she must place the other upon her list, so the exchange IS estab- lished and 1t is deemed a slight if one omits the customary Christmas remembrance.
 If one desires to repay an ob- ligstion or do a friend a favor by bestoW--g a gift, 1t is wise to plan to give at some other season of the year and thus to avoid the Christmas flood of 0ndesred or undesirable presents.
 A token sent to mark one $ birthday, or at any time, just because we think the receiver will enjoy the gift, is doubly appreciated A piece of ones own embroidery, a new novel by a favorite author, household linen for a bride, or anything that ha. especial and indivi- dual interest need not entain an obligation to return equal value.
 At Christmas time we may save time and strength by lim- iting our gifts to the immediate family and intimate friends. Distant relatives and friends

What Shall
 Give??
ANDRE DUPONT

Do you remember the man ir the "Mikado" who had a little list of all the different sorts of people he particularly dislik- ed? At this time of year I al- ways think of him, for we are ali busy making lists and though we certainly do not ob- ject to the people on them we often object very strongly to the cost of their presents. Or if that is not the trouble it is the impossibility of thinking just what 10 give them that worries us.
 Decide on what you want to give mother before you leave home, if you can, and, by the way, don't, pray don't unless she especially requests it, give her something for the house" " Give her something personal, not something that is really gift to all the family just as much as 1t is to mother.In mak- ing list it is we'll to consider just what you can afford to spend and what proportion of it should be used for each per sons gift. This is really the only sensible way to buy Christmas gifts.
 Some people give presents that they like themselves with out taking much thought as to whether the recipients will en- joy them or not. In this way many utterly unsuitable gifts are presented each year that are an absolute waste of mon- ey because they bring pleasure to nobody. Try to discover eX- actly what others want and give it to them if you ean.It is always possible to do this with members of the family and of ten with intimate friends and by taking this little extra trou- ble you are sure of your gifts being appreciated.
 There are always certain sensible presents that will please almost anybody provid- ed he or she is not already ov- erstocked with such things.Per- haps a glance at the following lists may prove a help in sug- gesting ideas to anyone who IS worrying over What shall l give?"

CHRISTMAS MEMORIES

The tide of recollection turns The sands Of time sweep o'er- And I, again a little child, Play on the shining shore; For Christmas means remem-
 bering
 The pleasures of the past, And all the sweet and tender
 joys
 That were too good to last. The faces that we see no more With suddennesS appear, And gracious, silent presences We love, seem very near; Nor do they dim the gaiety The present brings to birth, But add a sacred sweetness to Our Christmas joy and mirth.
