thought cf the dangers they face in doing SO. Many
persons can be seen leaving u street car at the rear
door and crossing the street behind the car. thereby
running the risk of being struck by a car passing Oh

Automobile drivers are not blameless in the mat
ter. Many of them take chances in rushing across Il
street ahead of a street car or another automobile. all
for the evident purpose of saving a few seconds. as II
the saving OF time justified them in running the risk
of being struck.
Even without the aid Of a traffic officer at the
street crossing. travel would adjust itself II every per
son exercised good Judgment in crossing. Go with the
traffic is advice which may be followed with safety
under almost every condition.
The drivers of vehicles are blamed for many more
accidents than should be charged to them. Pedestrians
have a responsibility which they should not attempt to
evade. It IS much easier for the individual to wait a
few seconds. than It is for tho driver of an automobile
to stop to. prevent striking a person whc has rushed

streets has 1t in his power to aid In making the streets
safe for all.

THE MERRY

The Yuletide Is this year responsible for one of
she largest bodies of eager people bent on accommodating
ChristmSS joys for big and little folks that America has
known since way back in 1914. when war clouds had
gathered over Europe and the shadows had already be-
gun to cast their sinister reflections upon the United
ing holiday this year is that fer so many thousands it
viii find the clouds removed and the return of sunshine
for the children who for nearly six years have been I'M
der the reflex shadows of the war. The country is
still under that shadow in some Of its activities but
there is abroad in the land a disposition TO return TO
the old encouragement of childish Joys and the full
celebration Of the Yuletide customs of pre-war days.
To this end the holiday may be expected TO dis
play much of the old time recognition of its distinctive
gives the foremost thought to the children. It is only
when this idea is enlarged and expressed that the sea-
son secures its happiest celebration. The disposition
10 make the. season one for the Indulgence of extra
Tagance adult practices and dissipatons is destructive
Of the real Joy and meaning of the season.
For this reason the merriment and the seasons
gifts should be conferred in the provisions we make for
the child in the home and for the homeless child. 1t
is in these directions that the greatest Christmas joys
lie. The stores, crowded with toys and with distinct
lively useful things that belong in the realm of child
hocd, evidently sense this spirit, and in response TO it
have anticipated the childish tastes.
The displays that greet us from shop windows
serve more than a practical or commercial value for
shoppers. They re-create in mature minds the eternal
JOY OF childhood. The coming seasons memories are
the grown peoples chief Joy, or should be. No other
season so stirs the heart of those who are now the pro
riders of those same joys that were once theirs. If this
spirit Is not confined to the mere selfish and narrow
limits Of those of our own" but is expressed in making
richer and fuller the lives Of those whe need our help.
this Christmas tide will be the happiest and most use
fuI Of our lives.

WILL THE FARMER QuIT9

Some sensitive souls appear to be somewhat per
turbed by the fear that the farmers of the United
States, discouraged by the drop in prices. this year.
will give UP the job of feeding the American people
and a lot of other folks.
Well, the farmer has been doing considerable com.
planning, and it must be admitted that he has the best
reasons he ever had for complaint. but 1t is a reflect
ion on his Intelligence to say that he will quit just
because things have gone a little against him.
One thing seems certain-the prices of farm i'm
plements. fertilizer and such other things as the farm
es buy must be reduced in price to justify the farmer
10 continue in agriculture. failing which he will have
the best reason imaginable for quitting the lob.
The cost of production must be reduced, and this
must be done by the interests which look to the farmers
for sales-the manufacturers of agricultural impie-
ments. producers of fertilizers and other farming es
sentials.
The American farmer is not a gutter. although
a few of his number drift into the towns In the hope
Of lettering themselves, Just as the city man goes from
one town to another for the same purpose. The far
mer has just as much grit as the manufacturer or
merchant, aud he will see this thing through to better
days.
Let congress give the farmer some help in find
ing a foreign market for the surplus grain. and it Will
not be long until prices will be equalized, although it
may mean a slight advance in the prices OF wheat and
corn in this country. With the farmers prosperous,
the condition of the naticn generally Will be improved.
ZAP YEAR will soon be over and then a man
will know that it is he who is being embraced and not
the opportunity.
1T is QUITE remarkable the sympathy the vets"
have for the poor boob who has nothing but moon
shine wliskey 10 drink.
IT USUALLY witches a mans vanity when he
discovers for the first time that he has aroused a wo-
mans interest.
PROBABLY BY the time Ponzi gets out Of prison
his victims will have been stung by others and have
forgotten him.
THE OLD-FASHIONED idea that clothing was
intended to protect the body may be revived again
some day.
WAR TAXES would be worth it il they would
teach the wor71 that wars are not worth the price.
