CHRISTMAS.

A few days hence all Christendom
will vibrate with a joyousness that
knows no bounds for verify Christmas
is one of the greatest and most SUBJ
lime feasts occurring in the church
calendar. This day is made sacred
through the noble generosity of Heav-
ems most munificent gift presented to
sinful man and his lineage over nine
teen hundred years ago, and today
with universal prominence the church
and state gives proper recognition of
the blessed advent of the Messiah's
advent by proclaiming it to be a dav
of prayer and rest. Let our hearts
ever rejoice in the gladness that is
ours, for the participation is indeed
great-far beyond the feeble compre-
hension of the average intellect. While
the sun is sinking into the billowy
clouds of the western horizon and the
evening shadows are yelling the earth
in gloom, l trust, dear reader, that this
has been a perfect day" and one
that will long be remembered in the
years to come. May your Christmas
be merry an dthe New Year prosper

PUZZLE: FIND THE COVENANT

Discuss as one will the niceties of
the balance of power between the
Council and Assembly of the League
of Nations, with all the great impli-
cations the question contains con-
corning the relative status of small
and large nations, there yet remains
one matter of which neither head nor
tail can be made.
The controversy has waged chiefly
over the Councils determined course
in keeping the conditions of man
dates from the Assembly knowledge.
The situation is tersely summarized in
the bitter final adoption by the As
sembly of its committees report,
which declared, as paraphrased by the
Associated Press dispatch, that 'the
Council had adopted such policy re-
garding mandates that there was no
opportunity to discuss them publicly
before they went into force"
Now, what is the statutory, diplo-
matte or moral difference between the
agreement by which a mandatory is
bound to administer so and so the ter
ritories inundated to it, as trustee
for the Leagues of Nations, and those
more familiar international agree
ments called treaties? Article XVIII.
of the covenant reads thus:
HETarHy ,,,4o
gagement entered into hereafter by
any member of the League shall be
forthwith registered with the Secre-
tariat, and shall, as soon as posi-
BILE, be published by it. No such
treaty or international engagement
shall be binding until so registered"
We know the Monroe Doctrine is "a
regional understanding" because Mr..
Wilson said So. If it is, then haven't
the covenants in these mandate mat
tiers at least the standing of "interna-
tional engagements ?" And if so, have
they been duly registered? And if
registered, aren't they open to inspec-
ton even to the Leagues Assembly it.
self? What is the purpose of regis
tration, anyway? +--
1t is all so mysterious and mystify-
ing; explainable only by the assump-
ton that when the nations gathered
at Geneva nobody remembered to reg
lister the Covenant Baltimore

An Indignant Woman Declares There
Is No Excuse

an AHuiShoHI VOhdH DeCldTeS 1neTe
Is No Excuse.
To the Editor of The Republican.
In last weeks Republican there ap-
peared an article concerning the death
from the effects of gangrene, of man
confined in the Jail and that the odor
arising as result of the condition of
this unfortunate man caused the Jail
to be unsanitary.
Shame on Garrett county to allow
anyone to die under such conditions.
If the jailer's duty is to report a
case of this kind was it reported?
When the grand jury or it's commit
tee or members who examined the
Jail and found such conditions exist
ing 1t seems to me that they should
have taken action at once to see that
the dying man had the proper atten-
ton. No matter if he was the victim
of his own lust, he was human.
In Oakland there is a considerable
sum of Red Cross funds reposing in
one of the banks and then to allow
things like the above to exist makes
one almost believe that human sym
pathy is indeed at low ebb.
1t is unfair to the dead man to try
to excuse anyone. God knows where
the blame lies. We must not forget
that "we are our brothers keeper"
The sin of the neglect of this mans
case cannot go UNPUBLISHED.

PREDICTIONS FOR 1921

Prophet Says the Planet Mercury Will
Rule in Many Ways During New Year
Reben H. Macdonald, of Bingham
ton, New York, writing a syndicated
article for the press of the nation
few days ago, predicted the following:
"The entire country, after enjoying
unprecedented prosperity in fertility
of the land, unlimited demands for
building material, machinery, auto
mobiles, clothing, shoes and luxuries,
due to only one thing, which is that
Venus reigns supreme in 1920, but
must now undergo three-year adj
justment to bring business to salts
factory basis.
During the year 1921 Mercury,
doubtful planet in many ways, like
the thermometer, will regulate bus
mess and prices in all parts of the
country. Since storehouses are filled
with manufactured articles that must
be sold, it stands to reason prices will
gradually decline. Capital and labor
will have many disputes; some are
never satisfied. A person should not
try to overdo. Live and let live.
High prices are for good times
low prices are for hard times. A ma
jority of the people are earning and
spending more than ever before.
prices are regulated according to
the price of iron and pork. When iron
and pork are high, wages and COM
modities will be high and vice versa.
at will require two or three years
for those who have left the farms to
plunge into town and city life to real
ize there is more real living and more
money in raising crops than in manu-
featuring luxuries for foreign coun-
tries.
In 1921 government officials will in
vestigate many concerns and as re-
suit fraud orders will be issued in
general to protect the public.
"The weather for 1921 will, in gen.
eral, be somewhat disagreeable. Jan
uary and February will be changeable.
The spring will be inclined to be dry,
cold and unreasonable. Plant accord
ingly The summer will be wet, which
will benefit those living in locations
with very little rainfall. In some To-
calities hay and grain will rot, unless
given proper attention. The fall will
be wet with early frosts. Be prepared
for such weather and gather crops
carefully.
"The winter will be one with plenty
of snow and ice, which is good for the
soil.
Fruit will vary-in certain local
tiles some kinds will be abundant, in
others somewhat of a failure unless
given special attention. Grapes will
be doubtful. 1t will be an off year,
which will give the vines rest. Ma
ture knows best. Mice will be very
numerous. Better feed cat than the
mice. Worms scarce, consequently
fish will be scarce and of poor quality.
Big fish stories will be out of fashion.
Disease of all kinds will cure but
slowly. Contagious diseases will oc-
cur, but not alarmingly. An cpl
demic will prevail in cattle, sheep and
hogs, but will be soon overcome by
government restrictions and service.
The agricultural departments will be
of great help to the people in many
ways-the information sent out is re-
liable and should be appreciated by

Perhaps you may be in error
Or probably just misadvised
AS to the sweet and smiling visage
Of Fate, so oft disguised.
No matter how much you struggle
To free yourself from Fate,
You'll find that the hard taskmaster
For you does ever wait.
You may travel south or northward
But there, you will find ahead,
Is the grinning, vicious monster
From whom you thought you'd fled.
On these words, kind friends, don't
ponder,
Nor dosnot hesitate
For It is not pick and i. is not luck,

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to it's nat

hair beautifully dark, glossy and at

piled with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of- date. Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addi-
ton Of other ingredients, which can
be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied. You simply damp
en- a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one strand at time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears, and after
another application or two, it be-
comes beautifully dark and glossy
