THE WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS
SPIRIT.

Dillon is beginning TO accumulate
the annual Christmas spirit for the
grand climax on December 25. To in
Vulnerable young folks in the COM
munity the day is the most notable
liz lie year-a festal day tinctured
with reverence for the Christ child,
of thankfulness for what His COM
ing has brought to the world in hap
piness, contentment and hope. Yet it
is a holiday withal, day of over
whelming JOY and gladness.
Most persons are willing to crack
a bank account in order to make
of Christmas a grand success. Il is
one day in the year when the finan-
cial outlay required to produce the
satisfaction desired is not regretted.
That is why parents are already
eager TO play the Santa as the old
gent should be played. And it is in
response to this impulse that the mer-
chants have done their best to pro-
vide sufficient opportunity for each
parent to make a success of the ven
ture.

The practice of individual thrift is
the best conceivable antidote for the
socialistic poison that has come into
the world. Thrift in its fullest sense
leads men to rely, justly, upon their
own worthy efforts instead OF upon
the brute force of mass action on the
part of the lazy, the incapable and the
improvident 1t puts self-restraint,
and self-reliance into mems souls, as
we'll as a self-acquired sense of JUS
tice. The man who thrives by his
own honest endeavors is no more in
clined to seize the product of other
mems labor than he is to allow 9TH
er men to take what belongs to him,

SECRETARY REDFIELD SAYS:
You might build up the railroads
until they are ten tracks wide and fill
the rivers with steamers and still the
farmer would not be served
What's the answer? Motor trucks.
If by motor transportation, the
farmer can more readily dispose OF
his crops. the incentive for him to
plant larger crops is greater. The
result is bigger crops, readily and
widely distributed, and better mar
ketS.
Thousands Of American farmers
are putting the Indiana Farm Truck
to work because it pays from every
angle.
For farm hauling where the loads
are heavy and speed is often requir-
ed, it is no secret that no truck fills
the purpose like this Indiana Farm
Truck.
The manufacturers Of Indiana
Trucks had the peculiar needs of the
farmer in mind in building this spe-
cial farm model.
A striking feature of the Indiana
Farm Truck is its portable power
unit, with which a farmer can pump
water, run cream separator, corn
shelter, an ensilage cutter, con-
crete mixer, wood saw, feed grind
er--or any machine using a belt
drive.
1t gives you power where you want
it, when you want it-down in the
wood lot, in the barn, up in the house
any where there is work to be done.
The Carolina Motor Company, of
Statesville, N. c., are the State Dis
tributors, and expect to have several
of them in operation in this section
in the very near future.

Turkey is going for prohibition
The Sheikul-Islam, spirituak of the
Moslem church, laments the alcoho-
lie degradation of his people. 1t is
a matter of history, he says, that SO
long as the Turks did not drink they
were of sound morality and order,
and were also prosperous. Sobriety
was the secret Of Islam's success as
the builder of empires. But drinking
brought ruin. 1t came from conflict
with Europe, whose other bad habits
were acquired. Evidently as an &C
quirer of bad habits the Turks were

BUYING A SENATESHIP WRONG

In this land of the free and of de-
mocTaC. it should be unnecessary for
a man aspiring TO become d United
States senator TO spend from $500
900 to $1,000,00O in order to attain
his seat, as was charged by the grand
jury indictments in the case of Sen
ator Newberry of Michigan. The sit
uation described would be all ana
chronism and dangerous to republi-
can institutions. If one man could do
it. another wealthy man would be
tempted TO try it. This is not of course
saying that Senator Newberry spent
even as much as a cent to be elected
lit is merely saying that neither he
nor anyone else has moral right
to expend vast sums to gain seat in
the senate.
The question of technical guilt
aside. however, certainly more money
was spent in the successful effort to
make Mr.. Newberry a senator than
is good for the public service or con-
sistent with popular confidence in it.
1t is clear that the outlay charged
against Mr. Newberry's hackers can
not be defended under any respect
able code of morals and it inevitably
leaves a suspicion of corrupt methods
and corrupt motives which would de-
stroy the usefulness of any benefi
ciary as a public servant

TNHIS crisp vegetable is not only
pleasing to the taste, but is also
an excellent tonic, and it may be
truly called the scavenger of the
body. Spinach is exceedingly rich
In valuable mineral salts, contain
ing several times as much iron as
any other known vegetable, so for
this reason it should be served fire.
quently during the winter months.
Every cell in the body contains iron.
1t is one of the most important con-
stituents of the blood stream. When
the supply of this valuable mineral
salt is decreased in the body anemia
is the result. This is particularly
apt to occur in growing children.
Green vegetables are valuable to
the body owing to the fact that they
contain an indigestible cellulose
which acts as roughage. Many of
us who dislike spinach do so because
of the manner i'll which it is served
How often have you had spinach
served in sea of dark-looking
liquid, with the stringy, pale-coored
green stems attached to the leaves
looking for all the world like piece
of seaweed? Oh, / see that you
recognize the style. Now let me tell
you of some very attractive ways
of serving this vegetable.
Let us first begin with the wash
ing of the spinach. Take your
cleanser and scour out the sink and
then scald it with boiling water.
Now place a clean cloth over the
drain and turn the spinach into the
sink. Use plenty of lukewarm water
to wash with. This is necessary to
free these crinkly little leaves from
the sand and grit. Now rinse in
plenty Of cold water to crisp it.
Shake the spinach dry and place in
deep saucepan and cover and then
steam gently until tender. Do not
add any water. In this manner the
spinach is virtually cooked in its own
juices. Now turn into a chopped
bowl and chop fine, and then rub
through coarse sieve and it
is ready to use. You must prepare
and cook the spinach early in the
day so that you will have time to
properly prepare it. and then, when
it is wanted, simply rcheat it.
