Don't Say These Old
Things at Christmas

NE EAR me It's lucky thing Christ
mas comes only once year.
don't know what we'd do if it
came oftener.
1t isn't so much the value of pres
ent as the spirit in which it is given.
1 hang my stockings up just to please
the children. 1 dread telling them
there's no Santa Claus. Let some one
else do that.
1t never seems like Christmas to me
unless it SHOWS.
/ always try to give sensible gifts
something useful, that will be re-
minder all the year.
Money is always such an acceptable
present There isn't one of us who has
so much that he can't take a little
more.
Don't you pity the poor at this time
of the year? 1 do.
Christmas and New Years come so
close together. It's too bad they could
not be separated a little. Two holi-
days coming right on top of each other
that way make Il so hard, but then
the children er joy it.
l never know what to give father.
It's so hard to think of anything for q
man. And my rich friends-they have
everything already.-Puck.
The Colorado statesman., 1917-12-22
Christmas Chimes.

Ring out ring out, o Christmas bells,
Across the starlit, frosty night!
Proclaim the message of good will,
The story of the Prince of Light.
The centuries roll on and on,
And yet, returning Christmas time
Awalkes in each responsive heart
Remembrance of the love sublime.
Then keep the feast with hearty cheer.
The feast of merry Christmastide,
While faith and hope and love, these
three,
Within the heart of each abide.

The Colorado statesman., 1917-12-22
Keep Track of Expenses.

It's good thing to keep right ac-
count of the expenditures. Some busi-
ness concerns have II cost account for
every line of the business. This avoids
that consuming, non-responsible gulf
called general expense or sundrles. 1t
makes every head of department re-
sponsible for every penny used. It's
not tightness, it's just business. And
when you know that every item is
lown for accounting you are not likely
% be careless in your expenditures.
When you take the time to look over
expenses carefully before you make
them, fewer entries will be made. It's
the unmatched outgo that puts the
drain on the family purse.-EXchange

Flower Calendar.

At Grasse, town in southern
France, the seasons are marked by
harvests of flowers, for this is the CEN
ter of perfume making. In February
and March violets and jonquils are the
crop. In the summer months roses,
orange blossoms and tuberoses fill the
air with sweetness. In the autumn
lavendar is carried to the factories in
baskets, on donkey backs and in wag-
ons. All of these flowers are treated
in much the same way. They are
stuck into pure white fat, which draws
out all of their perfume. This fat be-
comes the basis for most Of the po-
mades and perfumes for which Paris
is famous.

Yesterdays tobacco list was another fine tribute to interest in the cause. It contains not only some gratifying con- tributionS from Birmingham, but also a splendid list from Warrior.
 F. w. Hopkins, in sending a check, wrote: With much pleasure l hand you herein my check for s10, as my con tribution to the tobacco fund. I hope to see the fund increased many times it's present size, for we can't expect our boys to do their best without their ac- customed smoke.'
 Every 9 cents contributed sends 45 cents worth of smokes to an American soldier in France.

PATRIOTIC WIFE

New York, November 15-Elmer Dwig- gins, promoter of the so-called United States government liberty loan club'' through which he is alleged to have filched thousands of dollars from women and children, who thought their money was to be used in assisting the govern ment in the war, was arrested today at Montgomery on informa tion supplied by his wife, it developed here tonight.
 T am a patriot first, wife next" Mrs. Dwiggins is declared to have told post office inspector who sought her assist ance in locating her husband. She at first refused to listen to the assumption that Dwiggins was dishonest. When told, however, that investigation had given grounds for suspicion that Dwlg- gins had defrauded hundreds of persons, many of them women and children of small means through appeals to their pa triotism, Mrs. Dwiggins is quoted by the inspector as saying:
 'If I satisfy myself that what you say is true, I will render you all the aid in my power in searching for my husband. He is unworthy of consideration If he has done what you say and I am pa triot first and a wife next"

ADMITS TRANSACTIONS

Dwiggins admitted the liberty bond transaction, but said that he had never intended to defraud anybody through his instaliment plan of selling the bonds.
 On waiving examination and expressing his desire to return to New York, Com missioner Thomas placed Dwiggins under $25,000 bond, which the prisoner could not give
 The postoffice officers from New York decided to take Dwiggins back to that city Friday morning.
 When Dwiggins reached Atlanta he got off the train and bought big. He was wearing the wig when arrested in Mont gomery. This threw the inspectors off the track for time, as in telegraphc advices the Montgomery inspector had been told to arrest bald-headed man.
