FACE NEW ORDER OF THINGS
Parents Do Well to Adapt Themselves
to Modern Ways in Conversing
With Their Children.

There is a good deal more of life
and fire and color in the talk of the
young today than there was in the
speech of an older day. Many an adult
is Ill at ease in group of young peo-
pie now. His talk is much duller than
that of the young people around him.
They can use figures of speech; they
can employ dynamic and striking
phrases; in brief, their speech scintii-
lateS, while his moves along in a rath-
er heavy, conventional, formal way.
This is the new order of things in
American life. 1t is inevitable, con-
sidering that we are becoming con-
stantly more gregariouS. We see
great deal more of one another than
we did of old; and so we have to talk
more freely and more unanimously
than was required when social life was
much simpler than it is now.
SO children must be heard as we'll as
seen. But shall we release the brakes
altogether, and let them run without
check? People can talk so much that
they become unduly excited, unstable
and erratic. A child who rushes in to
the table from the street, and keeps
talking in tense, excited way is over
doing the talking business. In some
way he ought to be quieted. He should
be helped to get hold of himself. He
is running with the throttle open.
This problem could be settled sat
isfactorily, and to the advantage of
everybody concerned, if the father and
the mother could talk so as to inter
est their children. When a parent can
tell good story or describe happen
Ing of the day in a colorful manner,
he can get his children to listen, and
they will be benefited in body and
mind by SO doing.-M. V. O'Shea In

ORIGIN OF POTATO UNKNOWN
Strong Reasons, However, for Belief
That 1t Is Native of Mountainous
Districts of America.

The question of where the potato is
indigenous and where introduced by
man has never been strictly answered.
Ii seems sure. however, that the potato
is a native of the mountainous dis
tricts of tropical and subtrOpical Amer
lea, from Chile to Mexico. and even as
far north as the southern part of Colo
RADIO. Data concerning the known use
Of the potato for food are not very
definite. 1t probably was first taken
to Europe from Peru by Spaniards
early in the sixteenth century, and
spread from Spain to Holland, Bur
gundy and Italy, though cultivated
only as q curiosity in n few gardens
and little known or thought of. In the
Complete Gardener published in 1919,
il is not mentioned. As a food it was
first used for pigs and cattle; thea,
on account Of its great yield, it was
suggested that 1t might be useful for
the poor and prevent famine, due to
the failure of the grain crops. As early
rs 1868 the Royal society of London
adopted measures to encourage it's cul.
/ tivation in England. 1t spread quickly
in Ireland, but il was not until the mid
die of the eighteenth century that il
/ acquired any real Importance on the
continent of Europe. OF its first cult

Listen to the Uplifter.

We think rural people are pretty
good-natured. especially when the
Chautauqua comes to town. There's al
ways q man there who comes on the
platform and scolds the audience. He
usually calls himself u community ex-
pert, or a town doctor" or something
of the kind. He is almost as bad as an
editor about giving advice, and isn't
half as polite about it. If we Scolded
you as frankly as recent town doctor,
that we happened to hear, scolded
his audience, you would probably say,
stop my paper" Yet the audience
was paying the town doctor for telling
them what misguided NUTS they were
Probably he told them the truth, in the
main-or what seemed to be the truth
and maybe it was good for their
souls, as he declared. 1t seems almost
pathetic to us, sometimes, this eager
ness with which we benighted country
| folk will sit at the feet of the uplifter,
who comes from afar to point out our
| faults and tell us how to remedy them.
| Yet we could probably get the uplifter
on a bench and stand up on the plat
form and roast him just as delightedly
and truthfully as he has been roasting
us. Only we never do 1t. The game
isn't played that way.-Farm Life.

PROSPERITY HAS HIT
AMERICAN RAILWAYS
During the Present Year Income Has
Reached a Total of More Than
Billion Dollars.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.-NIore than
one billion dollars income from operations
was made by the railroads of the country
during the year now closing The huge
total is the peak of prosperity in railroad
operations and stands more than One-third
higher than the total of 1913, hitherto the
banner year.
Statistics gathered by the Interstate
Commerce commission complete for nine
months and made the basis for calcula
tions for the entire year indicate that the
total net income from operations VIII be
approximately Sl.09S 000, 900. For the first
nine months complete returns show
S7S5, 55S 266. Even this does not represent
the full amount as roads whose income Is
less than Sl00N.00e are not included.
The estimate of 81 o9S, 100000 Is regarded
10y officials as conservative. 1t makes no
allowance for normal increase in business
during the last three months of the year.
There is no question, officials say. but that
there will be an increase, the only doubt
is as to its size.
Analysis OF the returns for the first nine
months shows startling increase from
January 10 September, amounting to more
than g. per cent Thus the net income
in January, $64, 9l5,2S6, had mounted to
$l07 ,9lO.S4 in September, an increase OF
nearly 100000.
For the first nine months the commits
sion's figures show that the railroads col
lected S2,654 $780, 47 from all sources of
operations This total. using the first nine
months as basis. will reach $500, GAG, SOP
when the year closes, officials estimate,
and without doubt will exceed it, Never
before in the history OF railroad operations
have tho roads had 50 great gross in
come.
Expenses have not kept pace with the
rapid rise in receipts. although they have
mcasuIably increased. From total Of

Christmas in the Churches.

Notwithstanding the inclement wealth
er about 70 children gathered in the
vestry Of the Congregational church
Friday evening and had a supper of
sandwiches, cakes and ice cream, fol
lowed by games. At 7.30 o. clock they
marched to the audience room where
was assembled a large audience of
friends. Colored lights illuminated two
beautiful Christmas trees. After songs
and recitations Santa Claus appeared,
made merry and distributed gifts, boxes
of candy and oranges. Supper was pre-
pared by F. T. Pallam and served in
charge of Miss Weidman and women of
the church. Mrs. W. H. Waite had
beautifully decorated the church with
ropes and wreathes of green and red
bells. Much credit also should be
given Charles Baxter, janitor, who al
ways renders efficient service. John
Mckay of Mount HermOn impersonated
Santa Claus. w. C. Roberts was in
charge of the program and of the
manager gifts which are alwas a part
of each Christmas program here. These
gifts are later distributed among
needy families

Meaning of Christmas, at the Sunday
morning service. In the evening a

were realistic and beautiful. The scenes
were The Annunciation to Shepherds,
The Nativity, Visit of Shepherds, Visit
of Wise Men, Alteration of Child. The
| audience room was darkened, except
the platform, the costumes and set
| ting were true to history and the en-
| tire performance was a revelation of
the great meaning OF Christmas.
Mr.. and Mrs. Z. f. Howard took the
parts of Joseph and Mary. Mrs A. G

and closing parts of the pageant.
