DEEDS BETTER THAN GIFTS

With Thanksgiving over and Christ
mas but short three weeks away, the
high cost of living looms bigger than
ever. Sermons on extravaganza have
always been and always will be
preached to the unhearing ear; men
and women will try to have, as they
always have, every wish gratified
whether they can afford it or not. Yet
it might seem that now, if ever, is
the time to think twice and then think
again before paying fancy prices ask
ed for purely ornamental or coveted
things at many times their former
prices.
But there are gifts and gifts; there
should be a careful pruning out OF
our list and as strong determine
ton to buy only what we can afford.
The Christmas spirit takes possession
of the most careful of us and with big
hearts cur hands refuse to draw the
purse strings tight even if We feel the
necessity.
Not that gift giving should be abol-
ished, but exorbitant prices for ordi-
nary and useless things should be cur
tailed. Christmas should be greeted
with the most profound sense of what
the coming of Christ means to the the
world. The day we give to him in
praise of his birth can never be too
well nr happily celebrated. But
might we not this year try to believe
that it will be wise to partially, at
least, give more in kindly deeds than
in costly and often quite useless
things?

MORE FOR THE HOSPITAL

Columbia voted 100000 for hos
pital and now that amount is not SUI
ficient to building structure which
will be suitable for this county and its
needs. Another bond issue must be
voted.
OF course, cheaper building and
one less satisfactory could be built
with the amount of money already
voted, but that, according to H. HI.
Banks, chairman of the hospital
board, is false economy. Columbia
wants a hospital and one that will be
not only worthy of the county, but
large enough and we'll enough equip
ped to be of real value.
Practically every other town near
here has had to raise its bond issue
after the first amount was voted, on
acdcunt of the increased cost of build
ing materials and labor. Mexico vot-
ed $4,000 at first, then raised an ad-
ditional $4,000 Fulton also voted
$4,000 and is soon to attempt to raise
the additional $4,000.
Columbia seldom fails in support of
organizations and institutions that
are worthy.

CROWDER'S OFFICE
SOON TO Be CLOSED

One Of -Washington's greatest bee
| hives of industry, the office of the
I Provost Marshal General, will soon be
but a memory. Under the able direc-
| ton of Mai Gen. EnOch II. CrOwder,
] Just renamed as Judge Advocate Cen
eraI. it accomplished one of the big
feats of the war by raising a National
] army of 2.S1O,296 young men, the
: flower OF American manhood, who
sealed the doom of Kaiserdom and
made the world safe for democracy.
. When the draft law was enacted in
1917 and its administration was en-
trusted to General Crowder, a big
staff of officers as well as many
women war workers were gathered
together to put the draft law into
execution. and the fact that two
million soldiers were sent overseas to
fight for an ideal shows how well the
work was done.
Had Brilliant Stan.
General Crowder was fortunate in
having assigned to his department
many officers of brilliant attain
ments. They worked under high pres
sure in Washington, while each one
chafed over the fact that he could not
go overseas and get in the big scrap.
No praise is too high for these men,
, who accomplished a great piece OF
work under many adverse conditions.
They are going back to civil life I'M
sung, with the consciousness that
they did their bit.
some of these men who are deserv-
| ing of special praise for their attain
ments include Brig. Gen. Hugh 5.
Johnson. who was a captain wden
! first assigned to the draft administra-
ton and who attained rapid promotion
4 for his able work in that department;
/ Col. Charles E. Warren, OF Detroit, and
i Colonel Easby-Smith, of Washington,
who are now on special mission to
France: Col. Allen Gullion, of Ken
lucky, who was sent overseas IN time
to engage in several battles; Col. Har-
Nv. Kramer, of New Jersey; Lieutenant
| colonel ConkIin, Colonel Wigmore, Of
Chicago; Major Wells. Lieutenant
Colonel Work, Captain Holloway, Ma
Tor Shaw, of Vermont, and Captain
/ Wells.
Girl Draft Expert.
No story of General Crowder's office
! would abe complete without mention
of Miss WiIhelmina WelbOrn, who
knew more about the draft law than
many of the men who were called
upon to administer it and who was IN
charge Of the office of information.
AS a reward for faithful and meri-
torious service Miss Welborn has been
transferred to the judge advocate gen
erals office in the War Department
and given a responsible position un-
der her old chief, General Crowder. e.

TOWNLEY CHARGES TREASON

The Herald suggested some days ago that it would
be necessary for Mr.. Townley to make some statement
with reference to the Opposition to his methods which
has developed at Bismarck. and which is evidenced by
the statements of state officials chosen by league leaders
and elected by league votes. Doubtless Mi. Townley
would have preferred the policy of silence, but this is q
case where, silence will not do. and the silence has been
shattered into little bits by the broadside which has just
come from Townley. Really, there was only one thing
that the boss could do, and that was to charge the recall
citrants with treason. and that is what he has done.
Now, whether the state officials who have shown a
Discrimination to do the bidding Of Townley have been
carried away by personal ambition or have been bought
by big business. concerning whose operations Mr.. Town
ley processes to be well informed, the state administra-
ton. with the exception of the governor. has slipped out
of Mr.. Townley's hands. and Mr.. Town!ey now tells the
members of the Nonrartisan league that the men whom
he recommended to them ave altogether unworthy.
There arises. therefore. a grave question concerning
the quality of the Townley leadership. Assuming that
Mr.. Towney has all along been acting in good faith, was
he mistaken when he picked these, men for state posi-
tons in tho first place; was he mistaken concerning the
wisdom Of the legislation which he proposed, or is he now
mistaken in the character of the men whom he de-
where.
