GIVE, AND BEAT THE GAME.

..No Christmas at our house this
year-everything is too high This is
the general trend OF Christmas con-
sersation at present.
It is true that prices for every
thing seem to be inflated, and un-
doubtedly it is wiser for most fam
lies to curtail their. giving. but un-
fortunate. indeed is that household
where the prevailing spirit Of anx-
iety is allowed. to interfere entirely
with the Christmas spirit. There are
small things generally considered at
this time as Of insufficient value for
gifts which yet are generally accept
able to- sgrown-ups. There are things
which make fun for everybody yet
cost little.
AS Tor the children beauty ever
lies .ins the eye of the beholder, and
to the children thank the Lord, toys
are toys, dear to the heart and STIR
ring to the Imagination, though to
the purchaser theysmay. seem trifiing.
Nobody can be blamed who feels
that Aes can give nothing. Times are
hard and life is full of,care. But the
person who matches his wits against
the problem, and gives something to
the people he loves. though it be but
little. Will be as truly beating the
great atAgame of life as the man who in
the face of toll and Encouragement
builds up business. The whole
world VIII be more cheerful, better
Off, happier and richer, because he
has refused to let the game get
him.

DID THE STRIKE PAY?

The coal miners have gained a II
per cent increase in pay, and lost six
weeks of steady employment. Many
of them have had a hard time OF it,
because their strike benefit fund was
tied up by court order. It would not
have sufhced anyway, large as it was,
70 keep them in the barest necessaries
of life for half that length of time.
Now most Of them have used up their
savings. Large numbers are in
debt.
The IL per cent will help somewhat,
but it will take 10 months Of steady
work at the new rate to make up the
lost wages for those idle six weeks.
Was it worth it? That depends, Of
course, very largely ON the viewpoint
II. as most people are convinced, the
miners might have got the same re-
suits without striking at all, without
losing a, days wages, simply by max
ing moderate demands in the first
place. then it certainly wasn't worth
the sacrifice.
When the loss of public sympathy
is added to. the money loss, the miners
have much cause for serious thought.
and not only the miners, but any 9TH
er group ce workmen that may have
been thinking of going on strike be-
fore the possibilities Of fair negotia-
tons are exhausted.

bold roberies have occurred in Null

Last night, for the second time in
two weeks. robbery Of wholesale gro

watchman passing on his beat at 3
o'clock, heard a noise in the rear Of
store. He saw one man forcing a

most positive that he hit one. He was
then overpowered by three others of
the gang who knocked him down,
dubbed him over the head and then,
with a knife, gashed him over the
neck and attempted to cut him in the
stomach. One shot penetrated the
officers leg as he lay unconscious.

MORE PAY URGED
FOR MEN IN NAVY

WASHINGTON. Dec. 21.-Pa$Sage by
congress Of a joint resolution provid-
ing for pay increases to navy person
nel, as recommended by him in No
vembe-. was urged By Secretary Dan
iels in letter today to Speaker Gill
lette of the house in which the sec
retary declared that due to the loss
Of its skilled men the navy now was
unable to man the number of ships
that should be kept in commission.
Emphasizing the necessity Of i'm
mediate action by congress Secretary
Daniels asserted that while total en-
listments now were about 100000, the
great majority of these were boys un-
der 10 years Of age, entering as ap-
prentice seamen. He added that, based
on the diminishing number Of war
rants and petty officers in the service,
the navy has in fact an effective en-
listed personnel Of only $4,000.
Due to the rapid loss Of men in the
skilled grades because Of higher
wages obtainable in civil life Mr.. Dan
iels said it would be necessary, unless
congress takes prompt action to en-
able the navy to secure an adequate
number of these men. to send the
eight dreadnauShts OF the Atlantic
fleet to Guantanamo, Cuba, for win
ter maneuvers with reduced crews and
also to reduce the number OF destroy
ers and auxiliary craft which it was
planned to send with the battleships.
Moreover, the shortage Of skilled
men, Mr.. Daniels said, makes it i'm
possible to prevent deterioration Of
ali ship installations and results in
great loss of government property.
The secretary explained in connec-
ton with his message to Speaker Gill
latte that his recent assurance that
the navy was ready for any emergency
and that the winter maueuvers would
be fully participated in by ships Of
the Atlantic We're predicated on belief
that congress by the present time
would have granted the pay increases
recomm ended.
The pay increases advocated by Sec
retary Daniels before the house ma
val affairs conln1mitee in November
called for fiat increase to officers
ranging from $1,000 for admirals,
vice admirals and rear admirals. to
$3.50 for ensigns and warrant officers.
a SO per cent. increase for all petty
officers and 80 per cent. advance
for apprentice seamen. It is proposed
that the scale be made effective until
June 80. 1921.

RED CROSS SERVICE
A Wandering Boy Restored
to His Mother By Sumter
Home Service

He was a lad Of 19, with clear blue
eyes, and his name was Joe, and there
was something appealing in the way
he approached q member OF the ponce
force late one afternoon, about three
weeks ago, and asked il he might be
allowed to sleep in the guard house
that night. He had spent all his mon
ey and had no place to go. The kind
hearted poice officer gave him q bed
in the guard house for the night an6
next morning reported his case to
Mr.. Horace Hardy, Judge of the Re-
corder's Court. Mr. Hardy imme-
diately went down to see Joe and by
his sympathetic manner soon won the
boys confidence and had MS story.
Joe's father and mother and
younger. brother and sister lived in
Worcester, Mass. Joe had run away
from home a gear ago with circus
and had traHeeld with the circus for
almost a year as Zion tanner his
work being to care for a lion and ex-
hibit him in a side show. Joe and
the lion grew very fond OF each other
and the lion would willingly obey Joe's
every command. After son:e months,
however the manager Of the show
gave the position of lion tanner to
another man, but it was still Joes
duty to care for the lion. One night,
when the circus was moving from one
town to another, Joe forge 20 put
fresh straw in the lions cage. When
the manager Of the show. found this
out he became very angry and fired
Joe and put him Off the train at Sum-
ter. Joe secured . 4 sob at Camp
Jackson, Columbia, S. c., out when
that work was finished he did not
have enough money. to get home, so
he came back to Sumter. Now his
money had all given out and he coC.d
no longer pay for his food and lodg-
ing. He was tired of travelling around
and wanted to go home, but had no
money to buy his ticket.
Mr.. Hardy took Joe to the Red Cross
Home Service Office, where a teie-
gram was sent to his mother. advising
her of the whereabouts Of her boy.
BY four O'Clock in the. afternoon the
secretary of the local Home Service
Section had received a telegram from
the Red Cross Home Service in Wor-
cester, Mass, stating that Ices par
ents requested the Sumter Home Ser
vice to buy a ticket and send Joe
home and they would reimburse the
amount expended on him. The secre-
tary phoned the Atlantic, Coast Line
station for schedules and at six O'Clock
she went to the station with Joe.
bought his ticket, gave him some
money to provide for his needs on the
journey, and saw him safely on the
train started for home and loved
ones. When she shook hands With
Joe and wished him safe trip, he
told her how much he appreciated
what the Red Cross had done for him
and promised to write when he
reached home.
A few days later letter came from
the Red Cross Home Service in Wor-
cester. telling how happy Joe's family
was to have him home with them
again, expressing their appreciation Of
the great service which had been rem
dered them, and enclosing a check
for the loan made to their boy and
his railroad fare to Worcester.
