Who gives his tears;

There are a number of wolves in
Moscow. With all the glitter and Joy
of the Christmas holidays; with bins
overf1owing with grain; with food in
plenty everywhere, there are empty
stomachs and aching hearts in Mos
COW as Christmas approaches.
Times are harder on people OF
small means than they have been for
years. There is less work and lower
wages and living cost is high. De-
spite the fact that nearly every one
is able and willing to give and is CIV
ing freely to relatives and friends who
do not need the presents they receive,
there are children and women in
Moscow who will have no Christmas
dinner; no Christmas cheer; and to
whom the day will be dreary one IL
some one, or some organization or Sc
ciety does not provide for them.
Mrs. A. L. Morgan has been placed
at the head of the Associated Chari-
ties. She has been looking over Mos
COW in search for those to whom
Christmas will not mean joy and
happiness and a big dinner and warm
home, and she has found all of these.

breeders Of purebred, registered Durot
Jersey hogs in the northwest, and one
of the new directors of the Northwest

from his farm at Johnson this week

fine herd boar which was awarded
grand champion prize at the North

chased from Abrams Brothers, Co.

Jersey hogs Of national fame, and OF
him Mr.. Swales says: Il have be-
lieved before that l had high class
boars with my herd, but this fellow
far Outclasses any boar I ever owned
