MOTHERS CHRISTMAS GIFT

1t never comes to Christmas, but
think about the times
We used to save our pennies and our
nickels and our dimes;
And we punched them all together
even little baby brother
Put in something for the present that
we always gave to mother.
We began to talk about it very ear
ly in December.
Twas a very serious matter to us
children, | remember.
And we used to whisper nightly on,
suggestions to each other,
For by nothing cheap and tawdry
could we show our love for mother
Hers must be gift of beauty, fit tC
symbolic her ways;
1t must represent the sweetness and
the love that marked her DAYS.
1t must be the best our money, all
combined, had power to buy,
And be something that she longed for;
nothing else would satisfy.
Then it mattered not the token, once
the purchase had been made.
1t was Struggled home and hidden and
with other treasures laid.
And we placed our present proudly in
her lap on Christmas Day,
And we smothered her with kisses and
we laughed her tears away.
1t never comes to Christmas but |
think about the times
We used to save our pennies and our
nickels and our dimes;
And the only folks | envy are the sis
tiers and the brothers
Who still have the precious privilege
of buying for their mothers.

WHAT is A CHRISTIAN?

What is a Christian? He who does
his best
To make this warning world loves
dwelling place;
Who rends the wells of greed and self
unrest
Which hide his brothers from their
Fathers face;
Who, stumbling oft, yet up the steps
doth plod
And helps wayfarers toward Christ's
shining goal
By service to his fellowmen till God
Makes his abode within his strug-
Cling soul;
Who bears aloft his torch, though
tears and fears
Obscure it oft and dim with doubts
dissent;
Unwarped by woe, though battle
SCARED by years
Of toll for peace and human bet
terment,
The Christian greets life's onset un-
disinayed
And, dying, meets life's Master I'M
afraid. New York Sun,

The speed of which the German ar

be of little advantage were one of

MISSOURI CALF CLUB"

There are several "Calf Club plans
in use in different States, but the
Missouri Calf Club" as revised and
improved by State Dairy Commission
er K. G. Bennett c0mmends itself TO
the Missouri farm boy and girl, be-
cause of its simplicity and financial
advantages,
"The Calf Club is, in short, as fol-
lows: Forty or more boys and girls,
whose parents Tor guardians) consent
to their each owning heifer calf, are
organized into a club with elected of
ticers. The club selects someone to
buy the calves after the members
with their parents have by vote Sc
lected the breed and age Of calves.
Purchased and delivered, each calf is
numbered and each child draws q num-
Der by lot, under direction Of COM
mittee of club members. Calf Dis
tribution Day" can be made pig
event.
The total cost of the group of
calves shall be averaged. A pure bred
bull of the same breed is bought at
the same time, and his cost prorated
out on the forty or more calves, add
ed to the average cost of each calf.
All calves shall be mated to the sir1
owned by the club.
Arrangements are made by the club
with one or more banks, and at the
bank of ones choice each child signs
a note for one year for the average
total cost of his or her calf, with pa
rent Tor guardian) as security. Banks,
commercial clubs, farm clubs and
farm bureaus are in some cases financ-
ING this plan. IN certain cases, a
bank or club offers to take care of the
interest. However, the regular inter-
est rate is small matter for such
small sum for one year.
The club bylaws provide that at
the end of one year on Calf Club Sale
Day" (another big day. all calves
are to be auctioned off. All money
above amount of note goes to the
child who fed the calf. The bull is to
be auctioned also, and one-fortieth
Tor one share) shall be paid to each
club member. Club holds meetings
at least once every eight weeks to
discuss feeds and other agricultural
questions.
Prizes of SIS, $40 and So for calf
IN best sale condition is offered by |
banks, commercial or other club, or in
dividuals. Calves are judged by a !
committee Of three persons not re-
lated to members and selected by
club.
Six months old Jersey calves will
probably cost from 500 to $25, HoI-
stems from $35 Is $40, for high grade
calves. Cost of sire, Jersey, $50 up;
Holstein SIS up, at serviceable age.
The fact that one hundred young
COWS properly cared for will increase
in ten years to approximately 1000
COWS, returning revenue of not less
than 100000 annually, is something |
for towns and communities to think |
about.
The missouri Calf Club" plan at
once starts boys and girls into prac-
tical farm business, and leads the
way to better live stock methods and
a more profitable agriculture.
Secretary JeweA Mayes of the Mis-
souri, State Board Of Agriculture re-
ports that the .a6 Club" plan is al
ready in operaiSon and is attracting
much favorable attention in different
portions, of this Slate, and he. advis-
es all persons interested to address
State Dairy Commissioner e. G. Ben
nett, Columbia. Mo. for circulars and
club bylaws.

NOBODY KNOWS BUT FATHER

Nobody knows of the money it takes
To keep the home together;
Nobody knows of the debt it makes,
Nobody knows-but father.
Nobody's told that the boys need shoes
And the girls hats with a feather;
Nobody else old clothes must choose,
Nobody-only father.
Nobody hears that the coal and wood
And flour's out altogether;
Nobody else must make them good,
Nobody-only father.
Nobody's hand in the pocket goes
So often, wondering whether
There's any end to the wants of those
Dependent-only father.
Nobody thinks whence the money will
come
To pay the bills that gather;
Nobody feels so blue and glum,
Nobody-only father.
Nobody comes from the worlds cruel
storm
To meet dear ones who gather
Around with loving welcome warm,
Nobody does-but father.
Nobody knows of the home-life pure,
Watched over by mother,
Where rest and bliss are all secure,
Nobody can-but father.

F. Lee Sheppy, 172 N. Halsted
Street, Chicago, ILL.,, General Sales
Manager of the largest concern of its
kind in the world, wants three or four
men in st. Francois county and sew
eral men in adjoining counties, to
work for him spare time or all the
time. He can use only those who have
rig or auto. Work is very pleasant
and no previous selling experience is
necessary. Work consists of leaving
wonderful new household necessity
in the homes on free trial. Tests at
more than thirty of the leading Uni
versities and the Government Bureal
of Standards show this new article to
be four times as efficient as articles
now in use in this section. Article is
needed in every rural home and bene-
fits every member of the household,
bringing cheer, comfort and happiness
into the home. Not necessary to be
away from home nights. Pay from
$500 to $500 per day according to
ability and number Of homes visited.
In writing Mr.. Sheppy, mention what
townships will be most convenient for
you to work in; what your regular
occupation is; your age; married or
single; how long you have lived in
the community; what kind of rig
or auto you have; whether YOU wish
to work spare time or steady; how
much time you will have to devote to
the work; when you can start, and
about how many homes are within six
miles of you in each direction. This
is splendid opportunity for several
men in st. Francois county and coun-
ties adjoining to make good money,
working steady or spare time. Some
$4,000 per month; one farmer earned
100000 working spare time only.
No investment or bond necessary.
