THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY

Christmas is the only one of our
holidays the observance of which
is based upon love and thought
fulness for other people than our
individuals selves. Other holidays
are for the most part as is fitting,
In recognition of a great national
event or in memory of those who
have done and suffered great things
for their country. Thanksgiving ex-
presses gratitude for our blessings,
aud New Years, If we keep il with
thoughtfulness. is an occasion for a
little self-examination and some
fresh resolves.
But Christmas is rightly a day Of
generosity and love.
We make the children happy with
toys and candies, we think of the
Gift which will please mother, wife,
sister. husband, we plan pleasant
home entertainments. But Christmas
lacks something IL our observance of
it is bounded by our family circle
aud our friends.
The festival will be an especially
Joyous one for America this year
The shadow of great and cruel war
has been lifted from us. We look
prosperity.
But at the same time there has
never been year when generosity
was more needed. Prices of all COM
modities are appalllngly high, and
the little income OF many a family
has been sadly diminished by the
absence of one or more OF its wage
earners in the army If we consider
this and. not forgetting our own
dear ones. do what we can to bring
relief and pleasure to those in need,
we shall indeed feel the blessedness
OF a real Christmas. AS we have been
prospered. so let us give.

TF4E CHALLENGE OF THE PAST.

Most OF us are good people. We
admit it. II we weren't we wouldn't
admit it as often as we do. The
trouble is to get other people to be-
iicye ii.
When man has had first-class
opportunity of profiting by sinister
practices and hasn't taken advantage
OF 1t he doesn't need to toot his horn.
His record does that for him.
Your Uncle Sam is in the position
OF that gentleman. He has had
many chance of territorial expan-
sion at the expense of weaker neigh
bors. and has turned it down. He
Isn't perfect, but his record Is pretty
good. and it will help him at the
peace conference. Not many of the
ronferees will attend with as clear
conscience.
The world is fortunate in not
having to depend on guesswork in
sizing up Americas principles. 1t
has the same advantage with regard
TO the British navy.
If England were to assure us that
naval supremacy would be benevo-
icntly used we might be skeptical in
default of proof. But England's
maritime strength has been exercis-
ed with singular benevolence-not-

WHEAT Is SELLING
UNDER FIXED PRICE
Many Farmers Fear Rate Set
by Government Will Not
Be Maintained.

The telegram which was sent out from
Washington on Tuesday regarding the
prices OF wheat and the scare OF farmers
that the Government price would not be
maintained la a very strong reflection on
the agitation to advance the price of
wheat for next years crop. Farmers
have apparently become frightened at
the IDEA that the Government will not be
| able or will not take care Of the move
ment OF wheat, and have rushed to sell
wheat ut prices below the Government
basis to such an extent that It has at
tracted attention not only at Washing
ton but elsewhere.
The condition Ia ono Of transportation
and has nothing to do with the price of
the Government guarantee or Of the abll-
lily OF the Government to pay. The price
OF wheat Is backed by the entire author
ity of the United States. and there Is
no question that the Government price
will be paid whenever the wheat can
be brought to market. The reason that
1t cannot be brought to market has been
one OF overburdening stocks and OF
transportation conditions.
Farmers throughout the country have
been extremely anxious to sell wheat
this season, and the country marketings
have been enormous. According to the
| statistics and the official statement Of
the Food Administration the farm mar
ketings Of wheat for the first two months
OF the crop year were 2s0.oo0.o00 BUSH
els. There is no comparison with last
year. but on the basis OF the average
marketlngs OF preceding years this Is

Returns Arc Cut Down.

> The request sent out from Washing

there be as few returns of goods as pos

and manufacturers, Is meeting with
hearty response, according to Informal
ton obtained from New York retailers.
The retailers say that in fact there
seemed to them hardly any need for
such a request because during the last
two years returns have been almost
Negligible. Merchants are 30 glad to
get goods these days. they say, that they
are not SO prone to find fault and ship
them back because OF fancied or minor
discrepancies.
- The War Industries Boards request
was occasioned by the need for every
available facility for shipment of troops
and war essentials
