FUN IN PLAYING OLD CHRIS
in lmpersonating Bustery, PresentLaden Santa.

cIIT4HER Is great fun in imper- .SAa ! sonation and none more than ESLG in taking the part of that k2SIS prince of good fellows, jolly
 old Kris. Several little brothers, sisters or cousins should make up the audience to be amused. all of them young enough to believe implicitly in the whole story of the journey in reindeer sleigh from the North Pole toy country to ones own particular chimney. Parents and oth- CT big folks must, of course, be in the scheme and coached to play an ac- tive part.
 You will be missed from the con- pany, to be sure, and dad and mother should search the house and look up and down the street and make all sorts of excuses for your absence. And if your voice cannot be contin- ually and very successfully disguised you had better not talk, but convey your meanings by mods and motions, not forgetting to shake hands all round repeatedly and to laugh, silent ly but heartily, with much shaking of sides and bending over.
 Santa may play at being late. and after he has filled the stockings he is caught by dad, who loudly notifies the household and insists that the old fel- low pay a visit and distribute the gifts. Questions are asked about the sleigh. which is supposed to have gone on without its driver, so that the youngsters won't want to run out and look for it.
 At the end of the ceremonies, which should not last over half an hour, a sudden disappearance may be ar. ranged by calling the children to the window with the supposed discovery of the returning sleigh. and Santa may slip out of the room door, shed and hide his duds and get out of the house by the back way, returning presently, with much noise, by the front way, as though having been gone for long time and, of course, much disappointed to have missed seeing Santa.
 As for the costume, that Is a mat ter of varied opportunity, except that the white whiskers and wig, the fun ny little old tassled cap and the fat stomach are essential.

Make Every Day a Christmas

Too prone are we all to allow our Christmas sentiments to evaporate with the day, forgetting that there are other days in tte year for a sym pathetic hand clasp and an encourag- ing word. If Christmas is better than other days in the year, it is because the feeling of brotherhood and fellow ship belongs to it.
 Why not have every other day in the year filled with brotherliness and fellowship? Why not soften the as- perities of life, speak the kindly word, and extend the helping hand for the other 364 days? In a word, why not make every day Christmas? Carry the Christmas spirit with us through out the year and say, with Tiny Tim. at all times and seasons, "God bless us, everyone"
 Let us keep Christmas in this spirit. tEen, forgetting not to whom thanks for the many blessings and privileges of this great country of ours are due, looking forward to the age that is coming:
 When the common sense of most
 shall hold the fretful realm in awe And the kindly earth shall slumber
 lapt In universal law"

SIMPLE HOMEMADE GIFTS

Handkerchiefs, neatly hemmed and an embroidered initial adorning one corner, may be made from stray rem nant of linen or lawn.
 Canvas or denim gloves for the wom. an who hangs out wet clothes are a boon-and so easily made on the sew ing machine.
 Night slippers are a joy to children who must walk upstairs after prepar- ing for bed. Any material of downy texture is adaptable, and they are made as simply as stocking foot.
 Every country woman should have a knit, wooden corset-cover. A worn sweater, by removing the collar and lower part of the sleeves (parts, by the way, most likely to show wear) serves beautifully for this purpose.
 Knowing the size of any little girls coll, it is simple matter to make a dress, bonnet or cloak for it.
 Mittens are neatly and quickly made On the sewing machine. Use any flexi- ble woolen material.
 A child's fur set can be made from an out-of-date fur piece, or if you have only a trifie of fur use 1t simply for the rim of the muir and the scarf-end.
 To an invalid friend is sent your cheeriest house-plant to gladden. the Christmas day.

Betty heard her father say at the breakfast table, after having sat up late the night before, writing for a lecture: q could have filled another page with ease if I hadn't been so tired, but I guess this will have to do."

FARMERS AND AUTOMOBILES

At Least 5O,OOO AgricuIturists Own
 Motor Trucks Which They Work on
 Their Farms.
 N Washington, March 26.-The extent to which motor vehicles are supplant- ing the horse on farms is problem atfcal, Department of Agriculture experts declare, after 8 recent survey which disclosed that at least 50,OOO farmers in the country own motor trucks which they use on their farms. Passenger cars and trailers were ex cluded. In many cases the introduce ton of a truck on a farm indicates provision for increased hauling rather than an actual reduction in the num- Der of horses used. Horses on farms reached their maximum in 1913, and since then have been gradually de- nreasing. Their number on January l this year was 21,1O9,00O. a decrease of 373,0O0 head from January l last year. The horse market is regarded as unsettled and the future equally uncertain The best demand during the past year has been in the South.
