Our Gifts.

AS the Magi came bearing gifts, so
do we also bear gifts that relieve want ;
gifts that are sweet and fragrant with
friendship; gifts that breathe love
gifts that mean service; gifts inspired
still by the star which shone over the
City of David two thousand years ago.

THE HOLE IN THE POCKET

On all hands We are bombarded
with the exhortation to be thrifty.
to save. And, as a matter Of fact,
we have had presented to us sew
eral Of the most practical reasons
for not saving. It becomes in
creasingly evident that there is
much to be said in favor of blow
ing in all Of our while
we can buy something with it.
If conditions continue along
their present course a~-man will
soon be unable to buy pan of
trousers at the price which now
purchases a suit ofsclothes. And

Chronic Constipation

Perhaps you have never thought of
it, but this disorder is due to a lack
of moisture in the residual matter of
the food. If you will drink an alb
undance Of water, eat raw fruits and
take a lots. Of outdoor exercise, you
may be able to eventually to over
come It entirely. In the meantime
use the most mild and gentle laxa
tives. Strong az: harsh cathartics
take too much water out Of the sys-
tenn and make a bad matter worse

There is a scarcity Of men on
the farms.
This is not news to any one It
is subject which has evoked
much lamentation Of a consider
able period. But there is a ray
Of sunshine piercing the gloom.
After the Civil War vast tracts
Of land were offered to discharg-
ed soldiers Men found themsel-
YES in possession Of large por-
tions Of the terrestrial crust
which they could not cultivate be-
cause there was too much of it.
So they set their brains to work.
The result was farm machinery.
The binder and the threshing ma
chine made their appearance. The
gang pillow, the seed drill, and
various other products Of the
machine shop were soon in evil
dence. The fail and scythe were
superseded
There were not enough men to
balance the acreage, SO machines
made up the deficit.
This process seems likely to hap
pen again. In the last census; per
iod the number Of farms of So to
IT'S acres increased only per
cent, while those Of 500 to 1000
acres grew % per cent.
AS a result, the tractor.
But it will not stop here. No
only is the farmer now mech
anlc, he is also an accountant
One Of the firms which supple:
goods almost exclusively to far

wise would never have come t
birth.

the same price, five years ago,
would have bought a suit Of clio
thes plus an overcoat:
It seems more practical, there
fore, to stock up in clothes and
everything else for the next five
Or six years.
But unfortunately fashions
change, and if we are at all fas-
tidious the extra dozen suits
which we buy now will be out OF
date in a year or two. Still, IT
we do not worry over the vagar-
les of fashion we might endure
that disadvantage.
But groceries will not keep
quite 50 long. We must resign
ourselves to eating as much as we
can consume, and paying the in
creased prices which probably
will be levied every few months.
We have no right to blame the
grocer or the tailor. They char
Fge more because they have to pay
more. The dollar is the culprit.
It has deprecated. Cd IN
If you were saving Kind Of
person five years ago you put
your money in the bank. Per-
haps you saved enough to buy a
few bonds. Or perhaps you mere
ly kept money on deposit. You
felt that if you did this for a few
years you would have quite a tidy
sum at the end Of that time.
Instead Of this, each dollar that
you laboriously earned and saved
is now worth sixty-five cents.
If you have saved $1,000, you
have really only $3.50. If you
saved $4,000, you have $3.50
left. You have lost the rest, just
as though you had dropped it in
the sea. The dollar is to blame.
It has shrunk.
It is the duty Of the govern
ment, by some economic measure,
to stabilize the dollar Other
wise, people will quit saving.
They will naturally want to spend
all Of their money now, before it
shrinks into nothing.
Every time prices take a jump
the dollar takes slump. Soon
! it will reach the bottom Of the
creased skid, and then-revolu-
ton, anarchy, disintegration or in
other words another Mexico.
A nation that has lost it's habit
Of thrift is headed for swift econ
mic disaster.

II gave way to the will Of the I'LL
boys because l could not think OF an
argument on the spur Of the moment
which would meet their demands, ,
declared George Nelson, manager on
the theatre. 1T was set forth that
the end of the world was expected OF
Wednesday and the conclusion drawn
that in such event the DISTRIBUTION
OF the heralds would be unnecessary
work performed in weather which
was anything but desirable. 1t was
argued that there was plenty Of time
to distribute the heralds starting on
Thursday; that there could be no
loss by acceding to the demands OF
tho biIlboys and that in the event OF
the prediction coming true he WORK on
Geld days would be an unpleasant ter
mination of the earthly career OF
those engaged for this work. 1t was
no strike. There was no quarrel as
to wages or hours. The workers sim.
ply requested that certain work be
postponed and l acceded to the de-
mand."
