Take the mater OF the CHRIST

DrIugs out more happiness than

good if purchased here, and
the one who receives ii will be
just us well pleased with it.
But when it is bought here at
nome the clerk who sold it Is
made happy, and the merchant
in whose store you purchased
it-and he is your neighbour
has additional cause for wish
my you and your family a
merry Christmas.
From how on until Christ

sell You Christmas goods that
are just as pretty, just as serv-
Iceable and just as reasonably
priced as you can get else
where. If the thing you want
is not in stock they will quickly
get it for you. So why rush to
a distant city and buy tnal
which, you can get at home
and hand your money to some
one you will never see again

CORN FOR FUEL.

Great interest attaches u
announcements from Kansas
aud Missouri towns to tie ei-
l.r1 that farmers. finding them
..J,.., possessed Of the biggest
,,,rY croi, m HISTORY, are threat
CHING to use it for fuel unless
ne price becomes stabllIHed'
Residents OF Abbcvlllc VINO
lave more or less trouble get
TING fuel are especially inter
cs,cd, for it may mean after all
a step toward the solution 81
tie heating problem. The price
Of timber Is better than 1t ever
was before, and the price OF
corn is steadily declining. ;"
if it reaches Il poull where
corn is worth less than wood,
why wouldn't it be, from d ii
uamcial standpoint, a good idea
and il saving to substitute lOr
wood in the cook stove! And
vet, such a thing looks Grimm
al when we know that millions
are actually going hungry IN
other lands, who would wei
come the corn as d blessing dl-
rect from heaven.
But the farmers claim that
they can't feed their own fam
lies and run their farms on
sentiment, and that prices
must stop declining if they
change their threat to use corn
for fuel. There are two sides
to the question, Of course, and
you can take your choice, But
there is one thing to remember,
and that is that the matter
isn't worth worrying about,
Someone is going to be found
to raise corn next year, with
the change OF making a profit,
There will probably never
again be a shortage of corn in
America. And the price viii
probably never again be where
it was during the war, The
real worrynow seems to be get
ting that which we don't be-
lieve ever again will be much
cheaper, and that is coal.

THE FARM BOY.

The best crop any man can
raise on d farm is, just plain
kids. What would be the use
OF working hard to develop IL
fine farm unless there were
some good, dependable boys to
leave it to III the end! But
boys and girls are more diff
cult to raise than record break
ing cows or fine horses.
Sometimes a farmer gets so
interested in building up fine
farm for his children that he
torgets to bring up the kind Of
chiIdren that can be trusted
with fine farm. lie can I
leave the boys to grow up any
more than he can turn his cat
tie loose in the neighborhood
and expect to have line stock
in the end.
"A farmer who is develop
ing a fine farm that he hopes
10 turn over to his boy some
day should devote ~ much
time to the boy 80 To TIE
farm" said one well-known
citizen of the community wits
whom We talked on the streets
recently. He should make
him proud of the farming bus
mess. He should develop il
him an early interest in agri-
cultural matters. He should
give the boy his ideals and be
sure that he brings the lad up
an honest, dependable man. He
should look after his health ia
he sure that the boy becomes
strong and vigorous. And by
constant effort on his part he
Should develop in the young
man habits Of thrift and indus
try that will insure his success.
1t takes time and trouble to
raise Il good crop of children
but it's worth it."

ARE YOUR
KIDNEYS ACTIVE

Not if you are subject to weak
spells, dizziness, headache and
general rheumatic pains.
You may have felt out of sorts
for some time and maybe have be-
gun to lose weight. Now and then
there is a feeling of dizziness, ap-
petite lags, you yawn during the
day, your back hurts but still you
are not laid up. These are the
danger signals that warn you to
look after the kidneys. They are
weak and the system retains body
poisons that strong and active kid
neys would strain out. There is a
splendid and guaranteed remedy
called Solvax for such conditions
sold by Daniel j. Fry and other
leading druggists and you should
try it. If it doesn't prove satisfac-
tory in your case simply return the
package and get your money back
BE sure to try it. Weakness of the
Kidneys may not cause you much
pain nor depression but such a
condition always leaves you open
TO severe colds, pneumonia and
most other serious diseases. (adv)

Law Suit May
Result From an
Auto Smash Up

Silverton, Ore, Dec. 14.-The
accident which occurred one day
last week on the highway between
here and Salem is likely to termi-
nate in a law suit. 1t is reported
that r. l.. Cochran, agent for the
Goodyear Tire & Rubber company,
has refused to pay damages. Miss
Faye Bentson, who was driving
Clarence Rosheims car when
Cochrane is alleged to have coll
lided with the car she was driv-
ing, asserts that the Salem agent
occupied more of the road than
he was entitled to in making
short turn, and the accident was
the result. After the collision,
Cochran is said to have employed
a truck from Salem to go out and
get the damaged car. Miss Bent
son and the owner of the car as
sert that the accident was the re-
suit of Cochran's carelessness, and
unless he makes good the damage,
the matter will be decided in the
court room.
