SELFISH CHRISTMAS GIVING.

Did ever to you that Christmas giving, even
that of the most prodiga gves might be- and usually is
prompted by selfish motives The lacking in
most OF the breasts that give most avish The giving that
is ostentatious is the of seshness and if it were
not for the desire for notorey much that given at Yue
tide would be kept by the donors. We all like to appease
Mr. Grundy, for most of live in abect fear Of that
meddesome old lady, We buy, ever for our children in
spirit of selshness useless things for them in
der that neghbors may Few of ushave the
age to buy only what we are able to buy and only for
those for whom we want to buy 1t would surprise most
people if they realized how much the fear of what hey
say" controls their acts.
Why is it that we not eliminate selfshness from
our acs at least at Christmas? Instead ofgvng some
pne who don't need it. and for whom have no special
love, something they don't want why don't we seek out
the needy and dispense real Christmas cheer?

Proposes Memorial to Heroes.

Dear Gardner:
When | read Morgan county's
Honor Roll in your paper a few
days ago, in almost reverent men,
ory of those dear boys could
but imbibe the spirit and senti-
ment of O'Hara when he penned
these beautiful lines:
1.-The mufied drums sad roll
has. beat the soldiers last
tattoo,
No more on life's parade shall
meet the brave and daring
fewW
recalled, too, that very sad
occasion, conducted under the
auspices of the Red Cross, when
those dear boys met in Theater
Hall, in West Liberty, >on the eve
of their departure; / remember
the unusually sad and serious ex-
preston of their faces, and how
they marshaled all their courage
and manly spirits that they might
withstand, with invincible valor,
the very weighty responsibilities,
and departure from loved ones,
which pressed, no doubt, very
heavily upon them. In "a mood
of serious fancy and awe which
then obsessed me, | wondered if
they realized to the full the sol.
emnity and magnitude of the sac
rifce they were then making,
and in answer to this silent ques-
tion within me came the answer:
Yes, we realize it, at least, to
a measure; we make it in answer
to the walls of a liberty loving
world; we make it in respose to
the groans of agony and throes OF
death which are now strangline
a would-be free and mighty gal
axy of nations; we have heard
from across the mighty deep the
call of invaded France and dev-
astated Belgium; and now linger-
ing on our listening ears we hear
the cries of violated women and
murdered and mutulated child
rem, and, aye, more, their limo
cent blood calls from the earth fer
reparation and we go to avenge
it. Nay, more, we behold on the
horizon Of our own dear land a
dark cloud which threatens the
liberty, homes and lives of our
own dear ones, and to the rescue
we gladly CO."
These Spartan youths went
forh in obedience to the call OF
humanity and country, and upon
the altar of freedom and liberty
they made the Supreme Sacrifice
that the world might be made
free from the strangling hold Of
Prussian serfdom and slavery,
and that we, as so many indivtI,
vidual entities, as well as the on!
coming posterities of all the peo,
Piles of the earth, might enjoy
throughout the coming decades
and ages a peaceful and prosper
Gus existence.
What ought we, or what can
we do to perpetuate their memo,
ry? To remember them in. the
ordinary high esteem" as coun,
trymen, and as brave soldier.
who have fought the battles ot
the world, and who have fought
our own Individual battles, is
not enough. In the course OF
time the various cares of life will
ultimately efface from oul
thought and attention the mag,
nitude and Importance of theil
chivalrous deeds, and their Su,
preme Sacrifice will become hazy
Nwith age.
Let us rear to, them a monu.
ment that will hold forth inces,
sanity to us and coming genera.
tons their memories unsullied
and intact. 81, 800 to So, 500 will
plant on the southwest corner OF
the court house square a monu.
ment that will stand for centu.
ries, and let me suggest that you

NEW REGULATIONS ISSUED BY
BROOKS TO CONSERVE WHEAT

Norman. Okla, Feb. 4.-The strong
efforts of the country to conserve the
wheat supply are shown by the rcgu.
lations just issued to the county food
administrators by Doctor Brooks, fed
cral food administrator for Oklahoma
Barley flour. buckwheat flour. corn
flour, cornmeal. cornstarch. corn grits,
feterita flour and meal. hominy. oat-
meal. potato flour. rolled oats and soy
beans are the only authorized substl.
tutes for wheat flour. Rye flour is not
a substitute.
All purchases Of wheat flour must
be accompanied by purchases Of equal
quantities of one or more Of the substi-
tuteS named. This purchase regulation
is known as the fifty-ffty plan. Both
retailers and consumers must furnish
signed statements that they have on
hand cornmeal or other authorized sub.
stitutes before being allowed to pur.
chase wheat flour without an equal
quantity of substitutes. Where retail.
ers cannot obtain substitutes on ac.
count of car shortage, the food admins.
traitors are authorized to allow TEN.
porary exceptions to retailers who have
already placed orders for substitutes.
The maximum profits for wholesalers
in flour shall not exceed fifty cents per
barrel. Maximum profit for retailers
selling flour in original mill packages
shall not exceed 81. Retailers selling
flour in amounts less than original mill
packages shall not take profit greater
than one cent per pound. Any profits

clause of the food bill. Substitutes for
wheat flour must be sold at no more
than reasonable profit over actual
purchase price OF the particular goods
without regard to market or replace
ment value. Drastic action is urged
against any retailer who raises the
price of any substitute to make more
than normal profit.
Instructions from Washington are
that sales of flour by mills, retailers
and other dealers should be limited to
twenty-four pounds to city customers
and nnety-siX pounds to country Gus
