some other things which lie much deeper.
The present, temporary slowing up of business
is due to many and complex reasons No

these causes and to give to each cause its proper
weight Certainly lack that ability 1t is all
very confusing. But, however hard to understand
the causes still exist.
Men have learned many of the causes which
have occasoned business panics in the past and
have discovered how to circumvent them An old
fashioned Misunderstanding money panic is thought,
by most economists to be impossibility under

"Even some of the books about
school life told of the doings of bad
boys which were decidedly not the
kind of literature ! wish my boy
to read. Next Christmas I'm going
to ask my relatives to read their
book gifts before giving them to
my boy. I'm sure they couldn't
have read those stories of crime
and near-crime they gave him
in years past"
The best test of a child's book
is this Before buying it take the
name of the book and its author
to the librarian of the Juvenile
section of your nearest library and
ask her whether or not the library
keeps it. No library will keep a
book which is harmful to the
young. If the library doesn't hap
pen to have that particular book,
find out whether this omission is
due to any prejudice against the
book.
One can't be too careful in the
girts one gives a child. And one
can't be too firm in not allowing
his child to keep a gift which is in
any way harmful to him. Better
to injure the feelings of the Giver
than to plant harmful seeds in the
young life entrusted to your care.

OUR EMPTY STOCKING PLANS.

The Journal wishes to express its appreciation
of the public response to the opportunity offered
by it to the people to contribute to Empty
Stocking Fund. The receipts show that Albuquerque
has heart.
We have not made editorial reference heretofore
to this movement. We think it time to discuss our
plans with you
The teachers of the public schools are aiding
us in listing children who will have joyless
Christmas unless Santa Claus from outside
the home
We now ask the people at large to aid us in
making lists complete that there may be
no empty stocking in Albuquerque this year Will all
readers who know of home into which our
Christmas cheer should go please drop a note to
the Journal to the salvation Army, giving us
that information If you can give the age and sex
of the children and some details of information on
conditions in the home. please do that. DO not
overlook this. Surely you take the few min
utes necessary TO aid in distributing Christmas
cheer.
, The Salvation Army has asked for help. The
journal calls the good of the city for
help We need dozen who will
give couple of hours of time each day next
week. Are there those who will volunteer to make
this sacrifice? Please notify the Salvation Army
the journal.
We plan for a Christmas tree on Christmas
in jefferson hall. Eats" and toys and warm
hope for the presence of Santa Claus with his
WHISPERS and fur coat, if he isn't to busy to get

will be dispensed If you want in on it" send us

We have decided that we want the children in

them selfish. They should learn think of the luck

with it to the poor unhappy child it make glad,
much the better The lesson will be fine.
Parents talk it with your child and per
suade him to part with something worth while to
him, that some poor child many be happy.
We have set apart at the Journal office

THE WESTERN WORLD.
(Contributed.)
-

When I go on a Journey .-.. ~s.
For business or for rest,
/ feel a wider sense of Joy
When my course lies to the West;
i love the snOw-clad Northland
And the Sun-kisSed Southern shore:
But 1t is the Western country Z.
That draws me- more and more.
Where, really, does the West begin,
Where does it end, in truth? l.
AS well define the border line
or childhood age and youth;
The Western world is sunset-land, d.
Realm of a deathless hope, "a
In energy triumphant,
From sea to mountain slope. a
III.
AT last a wilderness is cleared
OF forest, for the farm;
The peoples aims are high and strong,
Their blood flows rich and warm;
They stand aloof they observe
The game of make believe,
Played by the spoilers, who would fain
Their fortunes here retrieve.
A glorious sight Is the Western world,
With its woodlands farms and plains.
Its orchards, homes and gardens
In a sea of golden grains;
The countless herds of cattle,
Rich mines of coal and ore,
The widest dreams of avarice could
Not ask or wish for more.
y
All western towns look much alike
AS seen from the railway car,
And it takes a close acquaintance
To determine what they are;
For, in truth, they all are different,
Imbued with local pride;
Like Il precious soul in garb is hid,
That makes one step aside.
Nor is the West provincial
For the people are the stuff a.
That democracy is made of,
Though the outside may be rough;
They are free from rank hypocrisy
Honest in word and toll;
Their pride is in achievement,
Masters of thought and soil.
One cannot help but love the West,
Its people and its lands
It's awe-inspring scenery,
Untouched by human hands;
Its rivers and its mountain heights,
The glory of the strong
world of useful arts and crafts
or sunshine and of song.
VIII.
The Western world is virgin soil,
Where the best is yet to be-
The dreamland Of worlds hope,
vim a mankind truly free;
Where all aim at the common good,
And service is the test
OF eminence and leadership,
In what for all is best.
