A Christmas Gift That Could Not Be
Bought.

"One of my most valued gifts this
past Christmas was one that money
alone could not have bought" said
Dolly Wayne in the Philadelphia
Ledger. cit was pot of wild flowers
AID MOSES which had been trans
planted from the woods in the early
fsli and lovingly watched and tended
until Christmas time. When the gift
came to me the pot and saucer had
heen prettily decorated, and on the
hepatica plants there were numerous
buds, Which blossomed, some on
Christmas day and others later in the
week. The gift still affords me daily
delight. / have enjoyed those sweet
purple ard white hepatica blossoms
far. more than I should have any
fls:ist's roses, for / know that the
plants were gathered and kept for me
hv one who understood how dearly
love the woods and the treasures found
there"

VOTE OF HOPE AND HAPPINESS
Celebration of Savour's Birth Com.
mands Attention of All Nations
Regardless of Ravages of War.

On the great feast Of the Nativity,
Christmas, as it is popularity known,
there is always q note of hope and
cheer, even when many lands are
drenched in blood. 1t was 1917 years
ago that Christ was born, but the mes
sage he brought is as fresh and COM
polling as it was in the years long ago.
Over the little town of Bethlehem the
heavenly choir sang "Gloria in EI-
celsis Deo"-"Glory be to God on high,
and on earth peace to men of good
WILL" or, as some renderings of the
Latin text have it, "and on earth peace
and good will towards men," That
blessed proclamation will go sounding
down the centuries to come until time
shall be no more.
! Processing Christmas welcome today
as one of peculiar joy and gladness.
The liturgical churches celebrate 1t
with impressive services but all God
fearing people, whether they be con-
nected with the Christian body or that
can but find thrill and lifting up
of the soul in meditating upon the
birth of Jesus and the mighty work
the redeemer came to accomplish.
Christmas comes to US with its hal
lowed greeting and with an inspira.
ton for higher purposes and true
! Christian charity. May this be truly
a happy Christmas for one and all

How Animals Figure
In Christmas Customs

ME Christmas customs in Norway
E and SWden arc the most inter-
esting of any country. 1t is time
OF great rejoicing. To show that there
are friendly feelings between every
one in the household the shoes arc
placed in a row in the hall when retir-
ing on Christmas eve, and, like the
German custom, candles are left burn
ing in the village windows all night
TO light the way for "Kristine," who
brings the gifts. The Christmas tree
is largely decorated with candles and
pretty cakes arranged in bright colored
baskets, all usually home made.
The richer households send good
things to the poor, and everywhere
among both rich and poor are the ami
mails and birds remembered, says Our
Dumb Animals. The boys and girls
save up their pennies during the year
for this purpose. Sheaves of grain
are fastened to the window lodges in
town, and in the country the sheaves
are fastened to long poles and renewed
every day for week, and many are
the birds that spy this feast. On the
barn floors Of the peasants bowls of
hot pOrridge are set for poor 'Robin
Goodfellow" to comfort him because
he has no 'soul." The cows and the
horses share in the general happiness
by having double share of food given
them.
1t is big skip from the northland
to the southland or tropical countries
where Christmas is celebrated without
the evergreen tree to decorate and
hang gifts on. In Brazil the holiday
may be spent outdoors in the sunny
| flower scented air.
They have quaint superstitiOnS In
| these summer lands relative to Yule-
tide. On the coffee plantations the old
folk say that on Christmas night the
animals have the gift of speech and
| that if only child has sufficient cour-
| age to go out alone after dark it will
hear on the stroke of IL the cock
crow in a loud, clear voice from his
| highest perch:
"Christo nasceu'-Christ is born.
The bull in deep, sonorous bass
inquiries from a distant field, "Onde''
where?
The sheep then answer In chorus,
'Em Belem de Juda"-in Bethlehem
| of Judea.
| In turn all the domestic animals give
to the world the glad tidings of the
Nativity. Many a child wishes it had
the courage necessary to enable him
to spend midnight outdoors and hear
| this wonderful conversation Of the
brute creation.

oriqin OF Word Christmas

The word Christmas is of compara-
lively late origin. The word was first
used In 1893, its form then being
Christes- Maesse, the mass rof Christ.
Origen, an early father of the church,
said that in the Scriptures it was the
sinners alone, not the saints, who cell
brated their birthdays. Another early
writer referred TO the fact that the
birthdays of the pagan gods were kept
by the people. The very first evidence
of a feast having been held in honor
or the birth of Christ was in Egypt
about the year 90. Clement of Alex
andria said, Certain Egyptian theoio-
gians tremendously assign not the
year alone, but the day Of Christ's
birth, placing it on May %" Another
date assigned to the event was March
2S.-Exchange.

jess FORE CHRISTMAS

They're acting mighty funny up at our
house nowadays,
They're different than they used to be an
changed in many ways;
Not long ago if I should want some toy
upon a shelf,
They used to make me get a chair and
hunt for it myself!
Las night I wanted building blocks and
went to get 'em, too,
An three of 'em got up an said: TIL
get 'em down for you"
1 used to have to hunt for things that
somehow went astray,
They let me open bureau drawers with
out a word to say;
Ma would sew and sis would play, an
pa would read his book,
An never think of gettin' from their
chairs to help me look.
But las night when I started In to find
my lectr1c car
They all exclaimed: 'we'll hunt for 1t;
you stay right where you are"
I've never known 'em be so kind In all
my life before;
They'll jump to wait on me an find the
things I'm huntin' for;
Although they used to grumble an to
say was a pest,
I'm not a bother any more-but why,
haven't guessed
I only know that when want some toy
that's on a shelf,
They're mighty quick to see that don't
hunt for it myself.

Oil in Storage Decreases

During the month of March there
was decrease of more than 1,l00,-
600 barrels in the amount Of oil stored
IN eastern and mid continent fields
ON March 81, last. there were $3.50
900 barrels in storage in these fields,
compared with 94,S3O,OOO on Febru-
airy rs, last In February, the latest
month for which statistics are avail
able, in the California field there was
a depletion in stocks TO the extent Of
more than 1000, ,000barrels Surplus
stocks there at the end of February
amounted to 1900, 900 barrels. Con-
sequently, oil is being consumed o.
100000 barrels a month faster than it
1t being produced. If this condition
continues, there can be but one result,
and that is higher price for crude oil.
That this condition Will probably
continue Is indicated by the records OF
California, where surplus stocks have
been drawn on to the extent of more
than 1000 900 barrels a month for a
year past. Production may be in
creased in the mid continent, gulf and
eastern fields, but IT is doubtful if any
such increase Will have any effect on
price movements. There is little pros
pect for decreased consumption of pc
