GOOD TURNS ON CHRISTMAS
Chance for All to Aid the FriendIess in
Having Happy YuIetide
Season.

ID EAL purveyors of Christmas cheer
IN may often find market for their
precious wares outside the pale of
charity, for all homeless people are
not necessarily poor, and neither are
all childless homes necessarily unhap-
by. Housekeepers who are short on
homes may combine these two lackings
and make Christmas day merry de-
light for the grown-ups in spite Of
these unfortunate conditions.
There is always something peculiar
ly pitiable in the idea of any one
''flocking alone" which should appeal
to the home maker without family,
so that this should be the occasion for
her to gather in all the bachelor maids
and homeless men of her acquaintance
and give them a joyful opportunity to
"flock together" Even the Scrooges,
if she knows any, should be rescued
from their lonely bowls of cruel and
persuaded to open their shut-up hearts
and wear them outside for general in
spection, as Dickens says, "For Christ
mas DAVIS to peck at" Therefore. col
lect six or eight of these birds of a
feather who are destitute of nearby
kith and kin and make your Christ
mas feast a center of good cheer for
all the charming solitaires you are
able to draw within its radius

Mr.. Hanson said that upon hear

the opposite side of the street be-

THE crowd was soon with me, -
he said. "Then some one started to

Traditions of Christmas Festival.

Traditions of Christmas Festival.
In the records of every nation we
find traditions Of the Christmas festi-
val, traditions which have been hand
ed down from generation to genera
ton in Oft-told tales which thrilled
the hearts of the listeners with al
ternate fear and delight. Sir Walter
Scott tells us that they who are born
upon Christmas or Good Friday will
see spirits, and will have the power
Of commanding Them. He also adds
that the Spaniards imputed the down
cast looks Of their monarch, Philip
II, to the disagreeable visions to which
this privilege subjected him.

Judge Lands is fearless, fight.
ing man. He is full of vim and
..4ersy, famed for his keen wit, his
fairminded Judgment and his un-
matchable personality. He should
make baseball more popular, than ii
has ever been before, and to say that
his acceptance was met with genuine
approval by the fans Of the country
would be putting it very mildly.
In retaining his seat on the federal
bench Judge Lands imparts much
dignity to the game. AS federal
Judge he retains prestige that would
not be appreciated as keenly were he
an ex-judge.
Lands many be depended upon to
go after the crooks in baseball with
every weapon at his command. He is
in a position to clean up the game
and will be given the united assist
ance of the sixteen major league
owners and the presidents of the two
big leagues.
That he will have things pretty
much his own way goes without say
ing. The owners and the league
presidents are quite ready to admit
that they made a mess of baseball
under the old plan and they will ac-
cept the wise counsel of the eminent
Mr.. Lands in all things.

new head of baseball. Judge Lands
will direct their prosecution and if
the laws of Illinois can reach them
they may spend the coming season in

In addition to these players there
are several others who are as good as
thru. One is Joe Gedeon, of the St,
Louis Browns. Another is Claude
Hendrix of the Cubs. The squabble
between Charley Herzog and RUDE
Benton will be thoroly investigated.

or both of these players. You can

One of the live wires at the recent
meeting of the National association
at Kansas City was George H. Names
president of the Michigan ntario
league, class B circuit that has
reputation as one of the best minor
leagues in the country.
Names is one of the youngest men
ever elected to a league presidency,
and his ability is attested to by the
fact that he was made a member of
the minor league committee that is
to meet with the major league COM
mittees to revamp the government of
the game.
Judge Lands acceptance of the
post which makes him the supreme

Ancient Christmas Custom.

Many quaint customs are observed
at Christmas time in various English
country parishes. In that of Gunner,
in Berkshire, of which the living is a
vicarage and the church a beautiful
specimen Of an old English parochial
edifice, all who pay tithes repair, af-
ter evening service on Christmas day,
to the vicarage where the vicar is
held in duty bound, by usage cen
turtles old, to regale them with four
bushels of malt brewed into ale or
beer, two bushels of wheat baked into
bread and half a hundred weight of
cheese. Any remnants of this feast
are distributed among the poor Of the
parish after morning prayer the next
day.

Dumb Animals Remembered.

The noblest observances of Christ
mas are its charities. In all ages and
among all peoples the poor have al
ways been bountifully remembered on
that day, and in many parts Of Eng
land and Scotland even the lower ami
mails are given an extra feeding that
they, too, may have cause for rejoic-
ing when all mankind are glad. Many
readers will remember Burns address
of the auld farmer to his mare when
presenting her with an extra feed Of
corn on New Years day. "A guild New
Year wish thee, Maggie. Haze, there's
a ripp to thy auld baggie."

TO KNOW A TRADE

Brinu Smiles Of GIadness.

It is not so much the thought Of re-
ceiving the customary holiday gifts
which most pleases the fancy, but
rather that pleasure the heart derives
from dwelling upon joyful surprises
It may bestow upon others. To bring
a smile Of gladness upon another's
face is, indeed, boon more precious
than Christmas gift, and the joy
Of bestowing can never be equaled by
the receiving.

ART AND SCIENCE IN TOYS
PIaythings for the Riddles Necessary
to the Proper Conduct of
Their Society.

W7HILE the making of toys is an
w art that is probably practically
as old as the world itself, it has been
only within recent years that science
has bothered itself about them. Less
than half century ago they were re-
garded merely as playthings-amus-
ing diversions for children that were
by no means necessary to their we'll
being. Today, however, science insists
that there is well-defined philosophy
underlying the use of toys; that they
are the tools with which the little ones
ply their trade; the paraphernalia nee
essary to the proper conduct of their
society; that dolls, for example, are
Ipore to them than the associates that
help to entertain them in that they
aid them in the attainment of their
mental growth by stimulating the
natural emotions which must be ex-
perienced in later life.
Whether this theory of the scientists
is correct or not, the fact remains that
children have always had the play
things requisite for their limitations of
the domestic life and business affairs
of older people; that they have always
required their elders to provide them
with such inventions, and that, when
they could not obtain these toys by
any other means they themselves have
sought and found objects that might
be made to suit their purposes. Even
the somnolent middle Ages did not put
an end to their pastimes. The toys in
which they found diversion may have
been more simple, but, as they met
the demands of nature, they played
their allotted part in the scheme Of
human development-Public Opinion.

INDICATED SMOKE
DRIVES OUT -ClTARRH
Pleasant and Easy to Use.

DR.. Blosser is the originator OF
certain combination of medicinal
herbs, flowers and berries to be
smoked in a pipe or ready prepared
cigarette which is meeting with I'M
usual success in catarrhal troubles.
The smoke-vapor reaches all the air
passages of the head, nose and
throat. AS the disease is carried
into these passages with the air you
breathe. so the antiseptic, healing
vapor of this remedy is carried with
the breath directly to the aff2 tel
parts.
This simple, practical method ap-
plies the medicine where sprays,
douches, ointments, etc, cannot pos
sible go. It's effect is soothing and
healing, and is entirely harmless,
containing no cubebs. tobacco, or
habit forming drugs. 1t is pleasant
to use, and not sickening to those
who have never smoked If you are
a sufferer from catarrh, asthma,
catarrhal deafness, or if subject to
frequent colds, no matter how severe
or long standing, you should thy

To prove the beneficial, pleasant
effect, The Blosser Co., NIL t02, At

RESERVE BANS TO
AID IN MARKETING
OF COTTON CROP

Florida oranges will have a heavy
yield; grapefruit tighten than last
year. Louisiana is expected to have
and a good sugar crop. The Cuban
pool, formed TO boost the price OF
sugar, is weakening, and has had lit
tie effect on the market, says teh re-
port.
Lumber Market
1.-THE lumber market is still domi-
natod by the transportation situa-
ton" says the Federal reserve bank.
The car shortage is said now to
be in it's worse stage. g.. Other
than a continued scarcity of cars,
the immediate outlook from the stand
point of lumbermen may be regarded
as fairly satisfactory. Favorable
crop reports have increased the feel
ing of business confidence, the mar
ket is free from the Influence Of
fuctuating- prices, and, it Is expected
the demand for the next three months
will be heavier than was the case
during the early summer"
Stating that receipts of both tur-
pentine and rosin are much higher
than in July, 1919, and July, 1918,
exceed that of last year, that exports
are continuous and that in rosins
there is particular strength in both
domestic and foreign demands, the
bank describes the situation as heal
thy and satisfactory in naval stores.
Commenting on the serious cost of
recent strikes in New Orleans, the
bank says that labor conditions to
some extent are unsatisfactory at
other points in the district also and
that, from all points, reports show
labor to be scarce, high and inefi-
ficient, especially farm labor.
Deposits are higher in banks
throughout the district, says the re-
port, but collections have not been
so good.
The bank also comments in detail
on. foreign trade; coal, iron and steel.
and other lines of trade.
Bank clearings for July showed
that, while Atlanta was second only
to New Orleans, Atlanta had a de-
crease of 0.3 per cent from clear
ings in July, 1919. Atlanta build
ing operations increased by $302,679
over July, 1919, but both New Or
leans and Birmingham ran slightly
ahead of Atlanta in the total value

DEAN ADMITS
TIP TO WATSON
AT CONVENTION
Continued from Page -

your deal with Watson was to be
carried out to the letter until the
Smith-Watson delegates to the San
Fran a1zot. convention had been elect
ed hT the coalition of forces. Your
dele sa+es were to vote for every mo-
ton Watson made in the convention
and for every resolution sanctioned
by him upon the floor, and in re-
turn Watson conceded you temporary
chairman of the convention and one
half of the delegates TO San Fran
cisco.
You knew and so did your delegates
that to vote against Watson's resolu-
ton condemning the administration
and vote for the Randolph resolution
indorsing the administration would
create a breach with Watson which
would result in the defeat OF your
delegates to San Francisco.
You were determined, at whatever
cost, to have fifty-fifty represent
tation with Watson at the national
coEY1r-rc end, therefore, your dele
Wa~Aon until they were safely
landed.
However, we had definitely learned
further that you intended to break
with Watson just as soon as the re-
suit of the election of delegates had
been announced by the chair and
your representatives had been ac-
tually elected. We knew that you
intended to break faith with Watson
and re-offer substantially the Ran
dolph resolution, trusting that you
could control your delegates to vote
for them and knowing that the Palm
er delegates would vote for them.
Then you would be in position to
say to the president: You see, Pres
ident Wilson, it was impossible for
you to get any resolution from the
convention indorsing your admins

AS soon as the roll call was ended

so much with indigestion that 1 was
in constant fear of a complete break

but what would sour in my stomach,
causing me dreadful pain, and bloat-

hardly breathe and my heart would
palpitate fearfully. For a long while
I lived on nothing but oatmeal and

that to keep body and soul together.
