NATURE NEVER IN A HURRY
Taking Lesson From Wise old Moth- CT, Man Will Learn to Curb His
 Foolish lmpatience.

We sometimes get impatient at the slowneSs of world improvement. We see the Cruelties of great war, cruel ties beyond belief. and we are sick at heart to think the world is not in a mood overnight to abolish war. We see ignorance leading to poverty and wretchedness and we wonder that ed ucatiOn is not made universal at once. We see preventable sickness prOduc- ing disability and suffering and we are hopeless at the slow dissemination of modern medical knowledge and pre- ventive measures.
 And then it is borne in on us that Nature never is in a hurry Out in Colorado the Rocky mountains turn a tumbling sea of peaks toward the sky. Standing on the summit of PikcS or Longs and looking off of that chaos of rock one naturally thinks some frightful convulsion of Nature threw up these mighty peaks.
 But that thought is wrong Geolo- gists have learned that the mountain |" '-'H NtiF Sl'NiN lll'i lIHl'tl tl'tiiiFlN carved out by the action of rain and snow and frost and ice First the highlands slowly emerged from the ocean. Then the rains and streams and glaciers made 'gulies and left the peaks. An observer returning at cen tury intervals probably would have seen slight change. But eventually thc> work was done and the mountains made.
 That is the way Nature operates. Man can afford to curb his impatience. -kansas City Star.

With large number of anti-radcal bills before congress and public senti- ment aroused against radicalism as never before, it looks like 1920 would likely get back on a safe and sane basis. If it does, we are going to have the greatest year in the history of the country Big business and reasonable prices will come when we get down to work and go to producing the stuff. It is to be hoped that effective legislation will be enacted to curb rank radical ism before the public seeks the old re- liable remedy, the nearest route to the telephone pole.

The prices paid for cotton the pre- sent season will have a strong ten dency to cause a large crop to be planted next year. There may be every reason to believe that the next crop will be sold at a good price, but we will never be truly prosperous un- til we make ourselves independent in other lines. It is not too early to think of these things. A big price for cotton also means big price for feed and meat, If it's good business to raise plenty of both when cotton is low, it's good business to do it when it Is high.

For Treasurer.

Peace on earth. good will to all men, sang the angels in Bethlehem just 1920 years ago in announcing to man the fruction of that long made promise of the prophet of the coming of one who should bring peace and good will to earth Christmas stands of charity, hope, joy and love. As the angels celebrated this first Christmas by singing carols the wise men of the East came bringing gifts to one born in manager Out of this first Christ mas we get the true spirit of the Christmas of today. It is a time when everyone hopes to be merry and glad light hearted and free from all care and worry. We go about seeking this happiness in different ways, and lots of times some of these ways prove a failure. Too many of us are trying too hard to get something out ot it without putting something into it. You get out of Christmas just about what you put into it, and no more. If you can make it a real Christmas to some child or older person, who otherwise would have shared none of the sea sons joys, then you have frightened it for yourself. Go into the holidays with that kind of job in view, for get your own good time and what y5u expect to get out of it, and at the end you will admit that you have had the best Christmas Of your whole life ana feel again like you felt years ago OF Christmas morning, when you began to empty that stocking of yours of an assortment of nuts, candy. apples, or anges and simple toy or two, We knew an old man enc time, who every Christmas bought him about peck of cheap rings with pretty col ored glass sets in them. He had every little girl in the whole town Hooking round him and each one got ring. which she prized as highly as if it had been set with 1 karat diamond. That old man was happier than any kid in the pack. He had learned the secret. It doesn't take much to spread a lot of joy and sunshine and Christmas. There is a better way to make of it a real festival of joy that by buying eX- pensive gifts that you hope will meet with the approval of your well-to-do friends.

INVENTOR MAKES WATER TALK
contrivance Known as "katie" Is Hailed as a Most Valuable
 Aid to Navgators.

Katie" one of the most wonderful inventions exhibited at the recent shipping engineering exhibition in London, is likely to prove the most valuable aid to sea captains and navi- gators yet discovered. Katie" is the name given to the invention of an en- gineer, by which he makes water talk.
 It is an automatic feat, with q sen sitiye depth-hnding mechanism con nected telephonically, and is placed on the surface of the water. Another del iCate instrument rests on the bottom with a Wire connection. When an en- gineer wants to know the depth of water at q particular spot he rings up Katie" on the phone and she tells him the exact depth.
 She speaks in soft, jerky buzZes in the manner of the Morse code. and when she gets out of her depth she shutters. If the current is too strong she becomes SpeechIeSs. Katie" will also warn captain how much water has got into the hold or the engine room after collision.
 The floating ships safe is another wonderful invention. It automatically casts itself adrift from sinking ship, and will send up q distress signal every hour for twelve hours. A sound signal is also given, and it will burn a light at night for three months.

This is going to be a dry Christmas. Old timers will tell you of time when ! no real Christmas could be celebrated by many of our citizens until after a call at the express office for pack age that was supposed to contain ill liquid form the essence of joy. To some the absence of this stuff, which if we remember correctly, was called bCoze, may mean that the joy has all been taken out of Christmas. At any rate the account will be more than balanced by glad morning after. With bootleg artificial joy, and not guaranteed at that. selling at SIS per quart few of us will trouble to revive an old custom now obsolete But those were the grand old days, the days of personal liberty when we were allowed to assert our manhood by guzzling our last months salary coming home soaked. soaring all the kids off the place and beating the old lady until We thought of some other innocent intertainment.
