Business Good.

Among the contributors to the fund
and the store of Christmas goods aside
from the members of the Moose lodge
were the Hardwood Creamery, the
Caldwell Equity, Mrs. Adams and the
Presbyterian church. Every family
where gifts were left was investigated
and found worthy. The Rev. B. w.
Rice assisted in this work.
Sales this year by most stores were
considerably below the high water
mark set last year but in general buy
ing was spirited One marked differ
ence prevailing in that this year pur-
chasers confined themselves more
largely to the cheaper articles and ex-
ercised much more care than was used
last year in selecting goods. In gener-
al, however, merchants express salts
faction with the holiday volume of
business.
IN keeping with the lack of public
services, Christmas day was unusually
quiet in Caldwell. Streets were more
bearly deserted than they have been
for long time Private dinners with
few friends or relatives in to share,
was the accepted order of the day.

 "My father came to be good citi zen for the new country" she said Her victory was by 273 votes, out o approximately fifty thousand ballots cast.

must receive as much care as does
that of consumptives."
To clinch the point he runs over
the whole history of man and his
ancestry:
The first crisis" came when
these ancestors" came out of the
water onto land-where brain
power can develop. Whales AMI
seals, who went back into the sea.
fell behind in the mental race for
they were not sufficiently stimu-
lated.
At the second crisis" certain
creatures grew warm-blooded.
This great step, he says, took place
during the greatest changes in cli-
mate, when vast ice glaciers crept
almost to the equator.
Severe Climate Best.
The third crisis" was the sep
aration of man-the twO-handed.
two-footed, big-brained creature
from his four-handed and smaller
Drained relative.
1t was the last Glacial Period,
says DIR. Huntington. that chiefly
stimulated human intelligence, un-
til 1t dominated the earth. While
y Sldytu
at present, men were extremely
primitive.
But with the coming of really Sc
we're weather, they developed more
rapidly than ever. In central Asia
appeared the Gro -Magnons with
brains as big as ours, and put won
derful art on their cavern walls.
In this same last Glacial Epoch,
other races learned to smooth their
stone tools, to oYerlord Cro-Mag-
mons, and finally to invent iron
tools.
The coldest places were not
favorable" he concludes. but on
their borders where the climate was
severe enough to be highly bracing,
not benumbing. there occurred an
extraordinary development of brain
power.
Clearly a severe climate is Won

Leaders Fail to Decide

Congress is more than ever "up

refused to discuss the matter. and

without reaching an aEreem me mt
either for adjournment or recess.
Both conferences decided to press

Those who favor adjournment are
clearly embarrassed by the insur-
