 Dear Friend:[ am sending this letter to you because I know that you will see that the Red Cross and the ladies of St. Philips church in Put nam will be thanked for the comfort bag sent me. It was appreciated very much and 1t comes in very handy in the army.
 'The army life is great and we are having fine food.

 In closing he writes:
 "When I get a paper from Putnam all the boys from home that are in camp near me come over to my tent to see the paper. It is a great pleas ure to read a home paper after we have had supper"
 q wish to thank you and the Red Cross again.
 Respectfully,
 Private Lorenzo NJ. Kennedy

stand up for truth, II we really know
the truth. But we know that q great
many very learned people have been
wrangling about what truth is for sew
eral thousand years, and yet it does
not seem to be definitely settled. But
for the most of us truth Is what we
truly believe. It is the faith that is in
US, and Santa Claus is q faith, IL not
fact, and so We say again that we do
believe in Santa Claus, says an ex-
change.
Take Santa Claus away from the
children and you rob Christmas of half
its joy. Grownup though we may be.

It bullying full Of gifts in the dim light
Christmas morning, than to have q car

wouldn't? There is lure in the mys-
terry Of Santa Claus that has endeared
him to every childish heart, and so do
not take him away until you have
something better to offer.

The Gift Divine
By WIN. BRADFORD DICKSON

At this fair Christmastide,
When Joy bells ring out
The song Of plenty and ring in
The reign Of peace throughout
This wonderful land Of ours
The while across the sea
Old Mother Earth is drenched with blood
And hate and carnage reign supreme:
While stockings wall for milk
And children faint for lack Of food;
While strong men fall beside the way
And homeless women kneel in prayer
! do not ask for gifts
OF frankincense and myrrh,
" gold. OF Ophir or Of either Ind.
Of jewels rare or priceless merchandise
OF marble halls or vast estates,
Nor cen the costly homage OF mankind:
But this
That may give each day full need
Unto tho willing mind and heart,
OF light Of Truth and warmth Of Love.
OF matchless skill in comforts art
That magic all Transforming touch
Which heals tho leper's spots
And turns to naught the wounds and
scars
Deep scared upon the heart OF man
On LIES great battlefield;
That may bind earth's broken hearts,
Lifting up the dropping heads
" tHo oppressed ana OufOeneQ ones,
That may plant within young hearts
A deeper longing for the Right
OF mercy for the hapless weak
And those who suffer daily throes
OF hunger. pain. disease, neglect;
That I. may know forgetfulness
For daily sights and wrongs;
That I may hourly grow Z
In love Of liberty, Of friend and foe.
And all the world
May grow in love-a fruitful love
For all the beauty and true
In nature. art. the heavenly realm
And for the noble deeds Of all mankind;
That I may I'LL the widening hours Of
life
With courage. cheerfulness, and hope:
That I may help my fellow man
Behold the dawn beyond the night.
The gentle calm beyond the storm.
These are the gifts crave
Above the blind worlds treasure trove
OF gaud and gilt.
Who gives his better self the whole year
through
Gives LIES own priceless gift to all the
world and you-the gift divine

The Old Game of Greece Out"

Pone County Times.-C. c. ThOen,
who has just purchased and assumed
charge of the Cyrus creamery, re-
nOrts that the centralizers who nave
had a grip on that field are employ
ing the usual tactics to dispose or
his competition. Prior to the open
ing of the creamery by Mr.. Thoen
the centralizers we're paying Genus
under what the WestpOrt creamery
of which Mr.. ThOen was then man
ager. was allowing its patrons. The
CYRUS creamery under its former
management was not successful, out
with the coming of the new manager
who is known as an experienced ana
successful butter-maker, things took
on a different complexion. The cen
tralizers Immediately raised the
nrice of cream at Cyrus to 48 cents,
cents more than the Westport
creamery is now paying, and total
raise of s cents over what had been
paid at Cyrus. The object of the
raise is plain. If the centrallzers
can raise the price for few months
and get most of the cream the cream
cry might be put out of business
again. Of course if this should hap
pen down would go the price again
even lower perhaps in order to make
ND for the excess expended.
Mr.. Thoen has remodeled the Cy
rus creamery and added new mach
inery to the equipment. If the farm
ers of that section will stand by hin
he will be able to pay them uni
form good price for their product
and establish for the creamery

FARM PAPER ADVISES
FARMERS TO ADVERTISE
Find a Market Close at Home by
Using the County Paper at
Small Expense

Successful Farming" one of the
leading farm papers devotes a page
in a recent issue to telling the farm
er how local advertising will bring
g profit, and in conclusion says
IF you have anything for sale
give your county paper a chance.
The expense is small and in the end
YOUR profits will be large. Everth1ng
has a possible buyer; the only thing
is to find that buyer. You may have
an over supply of spring vegetables
for which the village folk within
very few miles would be glad to pay
a good price were they only Informed
regarding them. If you have a young
boar or bull calf to spare, few cents
invested in an ad may bring your
nearest neighbOr as a possible buyer
In one case recently cOrnbelt farm
er sent a carload of steers to the
Chicago market and they were
bought back a few days later by his
neighbor, at an additional cost for
transportation, two commissions, and
care. A few lines in the paper
which they both were taking might
have saved the added cost and work.
You may be doing something equally
as foolish. Such cases are not in
frequent; they are happening every
day in the sale Of other produce as
we'll as livestock. And in almost
every instance the home stuff is
fresher and of higher quality than
that brought in and can be obtained
at a lower price. Try advertising
and let your own community have
the advantage of your wares ant

SUPREME COURT WILL
REDUCE FLAWS DELAY"
Chief Justice Brown Announces
Sweeping Changes in Procedure
Prevent Expense and Delay

The supreme court of Minnesota
enjoys the confidence and respect of
the people of Minnesota to peculiar
degree, on account of the substantial
progressiveness which it displays in
both it's rulings and its procedure.
Still further improvements have re-
Gently been made which will be of
interest to the laymen as we'll as the
lawyers of the state, and are thus
explained in a statement by Chief
Justice Calvin L. Brown:
There were two reasons for the
namely, first a desire to check so far
as possible the steadily increasing ex-
pense of appeals to the Supreme
Court, and second the advisability of
overcoming and doing away with
certain forms and customs which
tended only to delay the hearing and
final decision of appeals.
Heretofore the court has for
many years held two terms of court
annually, and on the first day OF
each the calendar has been called
and the cases set for argument on
dates during the succeeding three Of
four months. The attorneys engaged
in the cases have been compelled, un.
der rule and practice established
years ago, to attend on such frs
day and respond to the cases il
which they we're interested; fol
