BUSINESS is GOOD
WITH HUSTLER ADVERTISERS,

That a spirit of Christmas buying
prevails among the hundreds of pa
irons of the Hustler's advertisers is
clearly in evidence. In spite of the
unusual disagreeable weather, shop
pers have journeyed to the stores for
their early Christmas buying. Last
Saturday was a good day for the busy
merchants. Some of them failed to

The Meaning Of the
Christmas Lights

-HE candles on the Christmas tree
have a brighter meaning than
mere gayety. Primarily they sig
nifty the~Light that came into the
world. saThat was the true Light that
lighteth every man that cometh into
the world wrote st. John in the first
chapter of his Gospel, says the New
York Evening Sun.
Today the small, popular bayberry
candle is very likely deduced from the
Christmas candles that were burned
in( England from daWn till evening to
Safeguard from alE-eEil the house dur
ing the year to come, and these can
dies, again, were lineal descendants
of the great Yule candle placed to
light the monster feast provided for
the unusual appetites some people fan
cied than, as now, due on the 25th of
December.
Not often possible in city homes of
the present day are Yule logs, but
sometimes in the country this custom
of Scandinavian source is still carried
out, though probably no one dreams it
to be a relic of the bonf1res kindled for
Thor in Yule rites.
It is doubtful if partakers of Christ
mas buildings are conscious that the
buildings are symbolic of the rich gifts
of the Magi to the Christ child, while
emblems of the manger are mince pies,
for these were first made in the form
of Bethlehem's cradle.

other native birds have died from the
cold weather. During the recent

THE AND THE FAIR

No one who has attended the fairs at Grand Forks
state and local, since they have been running, can fail
Ito be impressed by the revolution that has come about in
these few years in road transportation. The horse has
practically disappeared except as a draft animal, and the
automobile has not only taken Its place, but it has taken
9 place which the horse was never able to fill.
It Is not many years since the first fair was held on
the present fair grounds at Grand Forks. The attendance
was large, and people drove in 90 or Is miles. On the
afternoons OF largest attendance the entire race track
was surrounded by teams and carriages. The "horseless
.carriage'' was in use. but 1t was u novelty. A few OF the
.new-fangied things were ut that first fair. They were
noisy. evii-smelling. uncertain. il-behaved affairs, and
some Of the fair visitors were inclined TO be Indignant Al

ering. at the risk of stampeding horses and running down
pedestrians The entrance was not then In as good con,
dition as it is now, and the cars frequently stalled while
trying to make the little grade at the railway crossing.
These mishaps delighted oniookers. who shouted advice
and announcement to the perspiring and embarrassed
drivers.
All this in changed. During this fair week, with a
recofd-breaking attendance. II would have required a
sleuth Of rather uncommon qualities to find a horse and
buggy ON the grounds, Such outfits were there. but they
have become SO rarc that they attracted perhaps as much
attention as the sescIine wagon did fifteen years ago. The
race track. from the bIeachers clear around the hack
stretch and back again. has been lined wittstfsr after tsr
horses They nsedinSne. They travel at the speed Of an
express train instead Of that Of Z horse. They have

to make the way smooth. Instead congress chooses to
sauabble over who shall hold what ONCE.
With this need SO manifest, the controversy over the
handling Of the work Of the shipping board continues
General Goethals and the board have not got along
smoothly. and the friction does not appear to be diminish
ing. Goethals' has prepared certain plans which are not
quite satisfactory to Chairman Denpan and some others
of the board. When Goethals was placed in charge of the
Panama canal work he told Roosevelt that he would ac-
cept il he were given a free hand. Heidi not want to
be hampered by instructions from Washington as to de-
tails. He was given full authority, and he made good.
The facts in relation to the present controversy have not
been brought out in a way that can be understood blythe
general public. but the record Of Goethals is at least pre-
sunptive evidence that he is right. This is anotherNof
the Jobs in which it is going to be necessary to place
large powers in the hands Of some bne man. Neither
Goethals nor anybody else can make a success Of the job
of building ships if he has to submit all his blue prints to
q lot of politicians who know nothing about the subject
The political shake-up in Germany has resulted thus
far in the retirement of the chancellor, Won Bethmann-
Holweg. and the appointment Of a rather obscure man,
George Michaelis, in his place. The change is inter
preted as a triumph for the military cast headed by the
crown prince. and a slap at the element in the reichstag
which has been demanding something more in, the way
of democratic government that Germany has been hav-
