she would rather have black or laven-
der. and it spoils all the fun asking
Gas YOU see. we were Il family who
gave one another practical presents.
She and l talked it over. and we hit
upon the clevereSt plan. Instead Of
having our gifts before breakfast in
the library, as usual OF Christmas
morning. we had a little tree about
two feet high on the table. hung and
piled about with tiny packages. Moth
er'S waist was cut from Il fashion

bills. wrapped in a small jewelry box.
Mary's umbrella was made from a
toothpick and a dollar bill. Father
gave me a tiny dolls muff in a pill
ooX with a ten dollar bill inside. and
he gave mother a bright colored rug
tut from a magazine. just the size of
4 ten dollar bill. which was pasted
lightly to the back.
THE whole thing was rolled on a
stick. 1t was great fun, and when
the holiday rush was over we did our
Christmas shopping. and none of the
surprise had been taken away by ask.

IT'S Christmas
Time Again

There's a fire in the CRATE and a
light in the hall,
For it's Christmas time again,
And the sle:ghbells ring and the
children call,
For it's Christmas time again.
It's time for a Christian land to raise
Her loudest paeans Of love and
praise
For the Holy Babe Of the Bethlehem
days,
For it's Christmas time again.
There's a wreath Of green at the
windowpane,
For it's Christmas time again,
And the church bells echo the glad
refrain,
For it's Christmas ti-..a again.
Oh, it's time to t,:1.n with the golden
sri::a
10 the friend we doubted and
scorned awhile,
70 rid cur hearts Of their greed and
guile!
For its Christmas time again.

SERVICE FLAGS

The High School chapel was the
scene of most interesting and pa
triotic exercises last Thursday af-
ternoon when the Girls High School
Club presented R the families of
all who were in the military OF
naval service of the United States,
service flags with star for each
member in the service.
After the singing of "0ver
There" by the Club, Rev. Clyde
Darsie delivered an appropriate
address and presented the flags,
A large flag with fifteen stars was
given to the High School for the
boys who have gone from the insti-
tuition into the various branches of
the service.
Between sixty and seventy flags
were made and presented by the
Girls Club. This recognition of the
sacrifices made by the mothers of
the nation is beautiful custom
and should be maintained through
out the war.

The most horrible wreck in years
occurred at Shepherdsville, twenty
eight miles from Louisville, Thurs
day evening when L. & N. train No.

as the Bardstown accommodation,

shovel that forty seven people had
been killed and thirty-six injured,
many of whom will die. The big
heavy engine ploughed through the
wooden coaches and smashed them
apart like they had been made of
paper. For horror the disaster
stands without parallel in the rail
road history of the State. The
blame for the disaster has not been
fixed but it lies between the opera
tor and the two train crews. Quite
a large number of the persons kill
ed were BardStown people.

TOBACCO SOLD
SINCE OPENING
Farmers, Whitehall and Robertson
Houses Close Today Until
December 3Ist.

With the sales of today the three
loose leaf tobacco warehouses in
this city will discontinue selling TO-
bacco until Monday, December 31st,
at which time the buyers will have
returned from spending the holi-
days at their homes. The houses
will continue to receive tobacco,
however for the coming sales every
day next week, however, except
Christmas day so if you have load
ready bring it on in and it will be
unioaded for you.
We publish below the amount of
tobacco sold by each house this
season with the general average
received for same.
FARMERS HOUSE
492,110 pounds for $135, ,421.77,
an average of $27.51.
WHITEHALL HOUSE
303,6O5 pounds for $50, ,6O5.75,
an average of 1920.
ROBERTSON HOUSE
67,680 pounds for $17, ,S43.S0,
an average of $26.36.
This house has however handled
a large amount of tobacco that was
bought privately and that did not
90 over the sales floor.
Again we urge the farmers to be
more careful in casing their to-
baceO as the condition in which il
is placed on the floor greatly affects
the price. Wet, soggy tobacco will
not bring near as good price. Dc
not be in too big a hurry to get il
on the market, take your time and
when you bring it in let it be il
good condition.

SEVENTY THOUSAND TONS
OF COAL ARE ON FIRE
Immense Pile of Illinois Coal at G. N.
St0ckyards Near Minot Is Burning
From Spontaneous Combustion

Seventy thousand tons of soft coal
shipped to the Minot stock yards from
Minois are on fire and hundred men
with teams and scrapers are trying in
vain to scrape out the coal which is
ablaze, in order to save the main sup
p1y. An Independent representative
drove out to the stockyards three miles
east of the city this afternoon and
watched the operations.
The G. NJ shipped in many carloads
Il the coal to be used the coming win
tar for firing locomotives and for want
Il shed room unloaded the coal on the
Hound fifteen or twenty feet deep,
covering several acres. Temporary
6acks were built on top of the coal as
it was dumped. Three weeks ago
smoke was seen issuing from the pile
and short time ago it began to blaze.
xhe fires have started in dozens of
piaces in the immense pile, making it
hard to do anything with it. 1t is be-
lieved that the coal is doomed. The
