Christmas GiUinq

During the period OF the war there
was a tendency not only to cut out
non essential industries but to- stop
the buying of non-essentials as we'll.
This policy was very good during the
war although it's strict enforcement
seriously disturbed the business coA-
ditions OF the country and in many
instances practically put out OF bust
ness many lines OF industries that
flourished before the war began.
There is such a thing as over-work-
ing this policy OF retrNnching. how
ever beneficial II may have been
while the country was at war.
Industries representing millions OF
dollars OF capital and employing
thousands OF wage earners were
completely demoralized and fire.
quently entirely destroyed, The busi-
ness OF the world Is and should be
varied and we can not hope for the
best conditions If we adhere strictly
to buying only essentials or allow the
principle to be fostered OF permit
ting and encouraging the government
to place an arbitrary hand upon the
activities of the country in deter
mining what is essential and what
is not essential That is a matter
that should be left TO the Judgment
I OF the individual.
encouragement of a spirit OF thrift
and economy is most commendable,
but so long as the world lasts and
civilization stands there will be diff
ferences OF opinion in the matter of
supplying our individual wants, We
do not all fancy the same things even
in essentials and in the matter OF
non essentials there is still much
wider difference Of opinion. We are
cosmopolitan people and that fact
alone explains why the United States
is the greatest nation on earth. Life,
liberty and the pursuit OF happiness
are the three great. elements and car
dinal principles upon which our gov
ernment is, founded, and It is the
practice Of these fundamental ideas
in the life of tho nation that has con-
tributcd So vltally to It's growth and

prosperity. In tho last analysis every
individual must determine these
things for himself. with a due regard
OF course for the rights of others and
OF society in general
Variety IL always the spice OF life
and so II is in the matter OF Christ
mas buying which Is now on the
minds OF all Of us. And there is the
possible danger OF being altogether
too practical and commonplace. Some
OF the keenest pleasures we get in
life come from the possession OF what
our nelghbor by reason OF his own In
dlvidual taste and choice might re-
gard as wholly unnecessary. The gov
ernment has, therefore, very wisely
removed. all restrictions in this mat
ter OF Christmas buying. Even In
the matter OF purchasing presents for
our soldier boys II there Is doubt as
TO where TO send these presents on
account of the mastering out that Is
already taking place, It is perfectly
practical to buy the "buddle" that
present which the home folks had in
tended to send him and hold II until
his arrival, even though he may not
return home until the holiday season
Is over. He will enjoy 1t just as
much then as though he received It
on Christmas day.
Christmas giving is a grand and
christian spirit that should never die
out, and there are many things we
can give that may have no practical
utility whatever yet will be cherished
as the most choice possessions OF the
recipient all through life. What
would Christmas be without a few
geegaws, the tinsel. the jewelrf.
flowers and sweets that last only for
the day? These are all essential 10
the yuletide happiness. while not
forgetting nor overlooking the wants
OF the needy let us not permit the
ephemeral joys and pleasures &c pass
away entirely. II is a good old word
and we should strive 10 keep It al
ways a delightful abiding place with
all the joys and pleasures 1t cont airs
for we shall not pass tins way again.
