Christmas Checks.

Traders bank is mailing out
today Christmas Savings checks
to six hundred fifty-two custo-
mers, aggregating $22,221.29. A
large percentage of these Christ
mas savers consists of children
under high school age who are
receiving their first lesson in
thrift, but many are mature
people and some are old people
who find it convenient to take
this way of laying up a definite
sum within a definite time. The
bank officials say that 70q6 Of
the club members are persist
ent, carrying their cards to com.
pletion and re-entering the club
year after year, usually increas-
ing the amount of savings.

Child Feeding Fund.

A woman of Lexington who
has responded to the appeal for
the Child Feeding Fund was the
recipient Of the following letter
from the treasurer of The Lit
erary Digest, to whom the con
tribution was sent:
"Your prompt contribution to
the Child Feeding Fund brought
cheer to those in this Office who
have to do with this great work
of Christ, and ! want you to
know how much your generos
ity is appreciated. We feel it a
privilege to be of service in so
great work as conserving hu-
man life. When a man of great
soul, such as Herbert Hoover,
throws aside his own business
to attoAd to Gods business, we
should all be glad to follow when
AZ that we are required to give
is money. May we ask you in
the name of these millions of
children to pass along to those
with whom you are acquainted
the Importance Of this work and
the enormous task involved in
raising % millions of dollars.
A word from you may save
many lives.

Correcting a FaIlacy.

Some candidates for public
favors recently attempted to
leave the impression that if the
state public utilities commission
we're abolished, they, if elected,
would go ahead and fix rates for
electricity, gas, transportation
and telephones at whatever they
saw fit. That is entirely untrue.
Even were local authorities Civ
en- power of fixing rates, these
would not be final, and in every
instance would be subject to re-
view by impartial courts. The
Chicago Daily News, in discuss
ing. the situation, said editori-
ally:
"The legislature can abolish
the state public utilities com.
mission But, of course, aboli.
tion of the commission woulc
not restors absolute home Iult
in regulating the rates or charg.
es of the utilities. To assert that
is to deceive the public.
Regulation by local authori.
ties would not be final, but sub
ject in every case to review by
the courts, state and federal. A
rate fixed without regard to th'
facts-a political rate imposed
! without a proper investigation
would be set aside as confsca
tory if it failed to provide a fai
return ON invested capital.
"Rates charged by public util
tiles must be reasonable ant
Just, not alone from the consu
mer's point Of view, but ais,
from that of impartial courts
Where there are no state or 10
cal commissions to deal out jus
tice to all interests, the court
may and do perform this neces
. sary function"

by contract. The plant of that
establishment is manufacturing
1000 barrels of flour in accord
ance with the strict require

Rabbi Goldstein of st. Louis, is
in charge. The contract necessj-

renovating of the mill from cell

ed the wheat to be of the very
best quality and each package
is inspected and certified by the
rabbi. The -four will be used in
making unleavened bread used
in all Jewish ceremonies, and
will be shipped from New York

THIRD GOLDEN RULE
SALE DAY
Merchants Report An Increase
in Volume of Business.

in Volume of Business.
Monday was the third Gold
en- Rule Sale Day held by the
merchants of Lexington under
the "Neosha Plan" which was
begun October 4. While the
number of merchants partici-
pating has diminished, the idea
is growing in favor and many
people are drawn to Lexington
who had not heretofore consid-
cred Lexington as an adyanta-
geous trading point.
A study of the bargains Of
fered at the different sale days
discloses the fact that the ones
offered Monda, were not as at
tractive as those offered at pre-
vious sales. Then again, it will
be observed that some of the
merchants did not hew to the
line in the principle advocated
by Mr.. Lowe, the father of the
plan, that no more than two
items be offered by any one
merchant, and that plain figures
be used instead of a per cent
off" The latter, he said, was
confusing and did not make the
same appeal as plain figures.
Both are absolutely essential
to create and maintain con-
fidence in the idea, that only
real bargains in seasonable
merchandise would be offered
"Create a confidence" he said
land you win be surprised al
the result" The committee in
charge of this should insist, and
Iif necessary refuse copy that
did not meet these requirments
/ The Sale Day plan is the best
thing ever undertaken in con
eeFt hE the merchants Of Lex
ington. Whether or not The
merchants of the city can work
in harmony for the benefit Of
all and of all lines of business
remains to be seen. Some dropp
ed out after the first day, claim.
ing that they lost money, But
of course, in these cases only
the sales of the particular bar
gain was considered. No credit
was given for increase on othel
items, nor did they consider thu
value of placing their names ant
business before four or fiv,
thousand people of the count!
for the nominal sum of $4.0O
The space alone in any newspa
! per with that circulation woult
! cost much more.
1t is the opinion of many tina
the plan can be made a grea
success if the merchants vii
give it fair trial for the periot
of one year, the time specifie'
in the agreement.
The next Sale Day will be Jan
uary 3, 1921. December is a bus,
month in all lines; so it is ad
vised that the merchants pre-
pare their copy early and sub
nit it to the Secretary not late
than December goth. Help tn
movement by being prompt.

And many his hours Of pain;
He gives his best to the role he plays,
And his heart is torn in a thousand ways
