did much in the upbuilding of the
Church in St. Cloud.
In the early part Of 1867, the par
ish was duly organized under the
pastoral care of Rev. Mr.. Stewart
and it was through his efforts that
the present grout church and rectory
were erected the following year.
Five clergymen have served the
parish, of whom three are living and
in active service. They are the Rev
T. c. Hudson of Paynesville, the Rev
F.--M; Garland. OF Mortified ard the
Rev. S. L. Mitchell of Los Angeles.

WILL YOU ROB THE SHOP GIRLS

What does Christmas mean to you2
 Sit down alone tonight and think it over
 If it means merely trading of few gifts with a few friends, the filing of some children's stockings, a drowsy smoke and an afternoon nap, some thing is wrong with your heart and your head If this is all it means to you, your particular kind of Christmas spirit is no better than the candles on your family Christmas tree. Its rays shine for home consumption only.
 Yet this is the full-bellied, exclusive comfortable, selfish way most of us celebrate the holiest day of the year.
 What a parody on the spirit that drew the three wise men to the man. ger in Palestine, that brought the first ray of hope to the poor and oppressed, that sent martyrs singing to their death, that spurred huge armies on to the Crusades, and that has lived through two thousand years of human cussedness.
 There's nothing new in all this. The best thing about Christmas is that 1t is gloriously old, and so is every thought connected with it.
 So there is nothing new in the sug- gestion that you consider for mom- ent certain girl who stands all day behind a counter and sells for other folks a lot of beautiful things she'll never be able to own herself.
 Christmas to her means tedious hours in bed with aching feet and torn nerves. For her, last-minute shoppers have turned the day on which the Christ was born into nightmare
 Why don't you get busy and pay those trinkets now instead of waiting until the 23rd of 24th? You wouldn't rob a shop girl or her purse, why rob her of her Christ mas?

 "The organizers of these competi- tions in which the recompenses are purpely honorary, propose to go far ther and help the modest farm hand acquire little plot of ground of his own that will attach him to the soii and encourage him to raise a family
 Farm hands, as rule, pay from 100 to 15O francs a year rent for thelr habitations. The syndicate offers to pay half that rent on the birth of the third child, three-quarters on the birth of the fifth, and all of it on the birth of the sixth, in addition to the use or one and a quarter acres of land in proximity to his habitatiop."

(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, Dec. 12-"The farmers of France have done we'll for the country and their efforts in the wheat field as we'll as on the battlefield mnst be recognized" said Ch Brillaud de Lau- jardiere, head of the great national ag- riculturists' society of France, to a cor respondent of The Associated Press.
 Farm hands alone furnished more than a third of our fighting strength more than the men of any other oc- cupation, and their exploits have fur nished pages of citations in the Journal Officiel The peasants at hOme-par- ticularly the women, have, in their way, done quite as well. They have really provided the staff of life to France during these trying two years, since they have provided the bread, but until lately they got only praise while those at the front got decOra- tions.
 Every peasant woman or farmers man called to arms shall have sort of decoration too, in the form of a diploma that will tell what she has done for her country, just as a gener- al's citation makes known an act of heroism on the battlefield.
 "The french farmer was formerly es. sentially individualist," said M. Laujar- diere, but he has learned the value ot association and nearly every farming community is organized here are 617S agricultural syndicates in France with membership before the war of ,25O, 900, assembled in S5 different unions of syndicates.
 "A single one of these syndidates | in the department of Loir and Cher bought for it's 1S,O0O members to the euuivolent of a million two hundred thousand dollars annually before the | war.
 Our syndicates are not merely the sales and buying agents of the indl vidual farmer; they go farther; they stand between the farmer and the mar from whom he buys or to whom ne sells in any misunderstanding, saving him from lawsuits and expenses; anC they act as his banker, in way through the organization of mutual az ricultural loan societies which are sep arate from the syndicates.
 Any landowner can borrow the money he needs to exploit his farm from one of our 9S regional or 1000 10 cal agricultural loan banks, whose com bined capital was 35 million francs II 1913; the state has also placed at then disposition sums aggregating S6 mll lions. They discounted about 37O mil lion francs of farmers paper in tha' year.

JUVENILE EXHIBITS
 STATE FAIR FEATURE.

The boys and girls exhibit at the state fair reached beyond all expecta- tions for the juvenile exhibitors brought in more products than could possibly be put on display. In order to provide room for the greater DOT tion of it, two overflow spaces were used. The original space allotted was given over entirely to the girls can ming department The outstanding feature in this department was the splendid variety entries made by Er- ma Awrey, member of the Fowler canning Club, Salt River Valley. She brought in over 64 different varieties of canned fruits and vegetables and also large number of jars of jellles and jams. A similar entry mer1tlng special recognition was 4O-jar va riety display entered by Ruth Moody of Thatcher, Arizona.

THE FARMERS OF FRANCE DO DUTY
 IN WHEAT FIELDS AND ON BATTLEFIELD

to the soil We teach them the scien- tific part of grain and stock raising, and of butter and cheese making, we show them how to keep farm accounts so that they may know whether they are making money out of any given crop; the farmers daughters are taught farm housekeeping, with special attention to the rational utilization of foodstuffs; when we get through with them they have no longer any excuse for haphazard or wasteful use of pro- visions.
 War prices have helped the farmer in one direction and hampered him in another. He gets the equivalent of S1.97 a bushel for his wheat, or AZ cents more than he got before the war. He gets the equivalent of S6 cents a bushel for oats, as against "A cents before the war, and, this year, the oat crop was a record one. Wheat was deficient as compared even to last year, but the farmer probably real izes more in cash than for last years crop. On the other hand, he pays a great deal more for all that he buys fertilizers, fuel, salt, sugar, flour.
 "The French farmer will after the war still be beset by difficulties that we must tighten. Traction farm ma { chinery, now almost prohibitive. Tn price to the individual farmer must be provided to make up for the lack of farm labor.
