There was some trade buying but the

The official weather forecasts were con

with shorts showing increased nervous
ness, owing TO the apparent scarcity OF
contracts July sold up to % Sac and Oc-

Three Kinds of Dollars.

There are three kinds OF dollars.
There is the dollar that is hidden
away. 1t is an idle dollar, and today
when the government needs the money,
it is a drag on the community, Just as
an idle man is drag on the community.
An idle dollar is a Stacker. But there
is something worse than a Stacker.
When you spend money wastefully that
the government needs, your dollar is an
ally of the enemy. II is traitor
dollarl When you loan money to the
government, you put it TO work TO help
win the war, for that dollar will help
to buy the clothes, the guns and the
ammunition that our armies must have.
A dollar loaned to the government is a
patriotic dollar. 1t will help to win the
war.-Leslies.

Don't Get Tired So Easy.

In the May American Magazine an
author says:
The thing that makes the tired bust
ness man tired is his belief that he is
tired. Believe the contrary. There have
been times when you worked all day
and night on a stretch. II did not kill
you.
Work itself. as the modern business
world is organized. caunot possibly
tire out the man OF average normal
health. II It could. Edison would have
been dead at the age of thiriy-five, Bell
would never have produced the tele-
phone, Henry Ford would not be now
a king OF the automobile business. Her
bert c. Hoover would not be controlling
and directing the nations food supply
to-day. Woodrow Wilson would be in
a sanitarium. and General Parshing
would be taking a rest cure instead OF
commanding American soldiers in
France"

The Boys Are All Away

How shall We wreathe the holly?
How hang the mistletoe?
How shall we keep the Christmas feast
With the JOY we used to know,
When on the happy Christmas Day
The boys are all away?
The holly pricked their fingers
And brought wee drops Of red.
When caught beneath the mistletoe
The laughing lassies fled.
No romping games this year Wen play
The boys are all away.
But we will never shame the lads
With hearts so bold and true,
Well never mix our Christmas greens
With sombre boughs of yew;
With courage high we'll learn to say:
THE boys are all away"
Well keep the heart and make the home
As bright as bright can be
And sing the carols old and sweet
OF Christ's nativity,
Like Mary smile, the while we pray
For all the boys away.
-Ethelbert d. Warfeld.

CHRISTMAS OF LONG AGO
Poignant Pangs Come Instead of
Peace, as Season Causes Thoughts
of the Past.

Christmas, singularly enough for
festival that is supposed to celebrate
Joy, is characterized by sadness. The
fraught with good cheer, is laden with
pain. Instead of peace. there are ex-
perienced poignant pangs.
Nor is it cynicism which says so;
the average man in the street will tell
you the same. Neither is grabbed age
sponsor for the crotchets of the time
unless, indeed, grabbed age begins in
this hurried era when man passes
his majority. Nor is the tragic contrast
between the cloud, which now for the
fifth Christmas darkens Europe and
the world, and the bright star of Beth
lehem the reason for the somber tone
that sounds beneath the gay notes of
the season, as the deep diapason of the
organ rolls beneath the ripping mel
ody. No.. it is none of these things
which imparts to Christmas the SOM
berness which is apparent to every
body who has passed into years of ma
turity.
It's memory that does 1t. Memory
..
Perhaps more than on any other holi-
day our minds revert to Christmases
that used to be. We like to think about
1t; we like to read the Christmas
Carol, because 1t puts in everlasting
words the emotion of gladness which
used to dominate that day. No mat
ter how humble the home, memory

one day, from the time we jumped
from the warm bed long before dawn
and scampered across the cold floor
to get the stocking which somehow
had been stuffed during the night. to
the end of the plethoric home festival,
when, candy-smeared and filed to the
point of repletion we were rescued
from the wreck of toys and packed
wearily off TO sleep, more or less
troubled with painful suggestions of
turkey and mince pie.
There is only one thing that can
make Christmas real to a grown-up,
and that is to do something for some
body who cannot pay 1t back. That
otherism is. we begin to suspect, the
thing which dominated the Christmas
es that used to be and made them so
real that they remain warm fn mem
