Puts Stop to Sympathy Offensive.
Washington, Nov l6-Dr. SOlt, the
German foreign secretary. was adj
yised yesterday by Secretary Lansing
to address all communications in the
future 10 all the associated allied pow
ers and not to the United States inli

The secretary's message. the test OF

edged the many notes that have beer
received here lately from the new
German government and informed
fhat government that the notes were
being transmitted to the allies.
In some quarters Mr.. Lansing's &C
ton was construed as putting a stol
to the sympathy offensive which
Germany apparently has opened Of
this country. Since the abdication o
the kaiser, il is recalled, all OF he
messages have been addressed to tn
United States government and hav,
studiously avoided any mention OF tn,

ABOUT w. S. S.

The time for the payment of War
Saving Stamp pledges expires Dec.
81. We hope every pledge will be
paid. We would like to send clean
sheet to the War Board from this Of
flee. Notices have been sent to all
delinquent, stating number yet to be
purchased in order to have our quota
in full. Let all in arrears attend to
these pledges at once. They must be
paid. The War Board insists that per-
sons making a pledge shall redeem it
in full.
There is some misunderstanding in
regard to the redemption of the W..
S. Stamps. No one is supposed to ask
for payment of stamps, except in cas-
es of extreme necessity. Death, sick
ness or accident are the only causes
given. These stamps are really the
only direct war burden imposed. If
you have them redeemed your credit
is withdrawn and you become as a
person who has done nothing. Hold
your stamps and help do your part
in paying the war expenses. The
stamps are not negotiable and parties
trading them are warned that pay
ment can not be made.
Yours,
j. J. Jones, Postmaster.

Christmas Plums

OF Christmas-and the nearer IL ap-
proaches the more contagious ii be.
comes.
Every time that Christmas comes
around again we wonder why we
haven't cultivated the Christmas
spirit all the year.
Here's hoping that all our soldier
boys, on land and sea, will have "A
few Christmas plums on the day of
good will-even though this year they
may be mostly in the pudding.
Probably the girls are saying the
same thing this year that they have
said every year in the past-"Well,
I'm going to start making presents
right away for next Christmas"
We get most Of the enjoyment of
Christmas out of the dreams that
come before and after. Oh, to dream
of 1t before ii comes, to enjoy Ii
while it is here, and to appreciate ii
when it has gone!
At least we are reasonably sure of
one thing-which is that no soldier
will have to go without good Christ
mas dinner. Well, this is as it should
be, since-to paraphrase our old
friend. Mr.. Dryden-surely the brave
deserve the fare.
Not namin' any names, we are will
ling to admit that there are folks in
this world whose Christmas dinner
doesn't interest us in the least-ex-
cept that we hope they'll have plenty
of food for reflection, and that after
the meal is over they'll get their just
desserts.

WRAPPING ADDS TO THE GIFT
Home Art Specialist Suggests Use Of
White Ribbon and Tissue Paper
With Bits of Foliage.

The wrapping of Christmas gift is
an expression of the giver as much as
the gift itself, asserts Miss Araminta
Holman, instructor in home art in
the Kansas State Agricultural col.
lege.
"A pretty gift will lose much Of its
charm If it is wrapped carelessly,"
said Miss Holman. "As much care
should be taken in the wrapping as in
the selection of the gift.
The wrappings should be dainty
and inconspicuous, and in harmony
with the gift and the sentiment that
the giver wishes to accompany the
gift. White tissue paper tied with
white ribbon with bit of foliage for
color, makes prettier and heater
wrapping than colored paper and col
Ored ribbon. If the gift Is to be
sent through the mail, the outside
wrappings must necessarily be of
strong paper, but If tied neatly and
securely with tinsel Christmas cord,
the package will make an attractive
appearance. and at the same time will
protect the gift"
Personal touches, such as original
sketches on the gift card or spray Of
foliage from the region of the giver's
home convey a deep sentiment and
thoughtfulness on the part Of the
giver, according to Miss Holman.
While holly and mistletoe are the en-
blematic Christmas foliage, spray of
hemlock, bittersweet, pepper bough,
OF any pretty native foliage may be
