he Greatest Christmas Banquet
in the History of the World
THREE AND A HALF MILLION GUESTS

IN DECEMBER TWENTY NINTH
! Christmas Dinner will be held in one of
the great banquet halls of New York, that
will be the greatest event in the way of Christmas
Dinners ever known in any country of the world
since the Babe of Bethlehem was born nearly
twenty centuries ago.
Around the tables will be seated one thousand
citizens of New York, each of whom will have
cured from friends or will himself have paid one
thousand dollars for the privilege of dining at
that feast Many of them will have made great
sacrifice to buy their thousanddollar tickets. 1t
will not be millionaires' club Present at the
great banquet will be three and half millions of
invisible guests, representing the children of Eu-
rope who are waiting on America to-day to save
them.
The sumptuous meal, served in tin cup, will
consist of the nourishing food that each of
these children receives through Herbert Hoovers
Relief Administration for which, at Mr.. Hoovers
request, The Literary Digest has made it's appeal,
during the past two months to Americans in all
parts of this great Nation. The thousand Hosts at
this banquet will be the Fairy Godfathers of at
least one hundred thousand little children Of flesh
and blood and will guarantee to them the con-
tinuance of that nourishng meal daily, all
through the winter in Central and Eastern Europe
You fathers and mothers in million homes
OF New York and wherever this page is read:
Most OF you can not be present at that wonderful
Christmas Dinner to the invisible guests, but you
multiply it million times. AS you gather
your own loved ones around your Christmas
table, as you look into the faces of sons and
daughters, the pride of your heart, and the JOY

grandchildren, whose faces are alight with Christ

priceless LUes is North to you? What would you
give to save of these sweet, laughing children
your ouUn dearest-from starvation, or bitter
cold, or cruel disease? Can you count the sum
in dollars? Would you not eagerly give every dol
lar you have, every dollars worth of property
your life itself, and count the sacrifice small
if it would give health and comfort to the one YOU
love?.
Over there in those naked lands, where war
has crushed whole peoples, are millions of little
children precious beyond the measure of dollars
in the sight of the living Christ Because of their
utter want and helplessness He has giuen them
to you to loue and to cherish at this Christmas
time. Many of them are orphans; you are called
to the holy task of mothering them, and fatherng
them, in His name. They are hungry; He bids
you feed them. They are shiverng in the win

bodies with warm clothes. Laughter and childish
Joy have gone from them; He calls YOU by the
love you bear Him, by the love that swels in

A YARD OF HEALTH
Edited by the Executive Secretary

In many districts of the state the
Modern Health crusade first tourna-
ment Of fifteen weeks duration has
been completed. In most Of the others
1t is on Its last five weeks and within
a short time all the districts will be
starting on their second leg of the
tournament. The first fifteen weeks
have been very successful. have had
many reports from school districts of
children who never we're clean as to
hands. face or neck and who now are
models Of cleanliness. Thousands of
children now sleep in bedrooms with
windows open, who never before knew
the benefit of fresh air These are
minor benefits coming from the cru
sade. started and sponsored by the
Utah Public Health association and
taken over by the state department OF
education last fall. The big results,
unseen as yet. but already felt by tea
chers and parents is the upbuilding
Of permanent habits Of cleanliness
and health, which make for an innate
consciousness and right living. All
our health work comes right back to
those words Right Living" II,
through the formation of health hab-
its we can make the boys and girls
see the value Of right living we have
done our work well.
We are not planning to award pins
end buttons for the second leg of the
Modern Health Crusade. Instead We
shall give ribbons to be worn with
the badges won before, some sort of
progression of colors which is not
as yet completely worked out.

Dear Sir:

Provo, Utah.
Feb. ., 1920.
Dear Sir:
Although the State Sugar Beet Com.
mittee. which met at Salt Lake, al
the Hotel Utah, Monday evening. Jan.
rs. to consider our sugar beet con-
tract for the year 1920. finally adopt
ed contract which we are convinced
is just and fair to both grower and
sugar manufacturer, nevertheless the
largest operators Of sugar factories
in this state refused to meet us and
give us hearing on Jan. 81. as they
had previously agreed to do.
IN view of these facts. and acting
upon our convictions az to the fair
ness and justice of our contract, we
have decided on the following course
Of action: uD to make our con-
tract legal in form and detail; then
to get each and every beet grower
in the county and state to sign Il.
stating therein the number of acres
Of beets that he intends to plant. af-
ter which the several contracts will
be put in the hands of the local su-
gar beet committees who will in turn
place them in the hands of the coun-
ty sugar beet project leader.
The purpose in having these con-
tracts thus signed. IL i'm order that
the State Sugar Beet Committee may
say to the Sugar manufacturers. when
they meet In the very near future,
I'VE have SO many acres OF beets con-
tracted for. II you want them at
their face value, well and good; IL not
We are ready to plant wheat or other
crops SO that our farmers shall not
suffer financially" The idea is that
we must stand together like a stone
wall. or we shall continue to grow
sugar beets at loss, II we grow them
at all
Therefore, appoint your men to
handle the contracts; have them make
the house. house canvass within the
next three or four days: have them
fill in all of the contract except the
Sugar Cos. name; and have them ex-
plain thoroughly what the contract
stands for and that IL we. as farmers
expect to get just and fair price for
our beets. it means that we must
stand together. And unless we do
stand together. We can not accomplish
our desires. BY united effort we can
put this contract over. because the
government Is DESTROYS that the far
NOR shall not continue TO operate
some of his farm at a loss.
Trusting that we may receive 100
per cent support from you and your
local,
Yours truly.

COOPERATIVE INTEREST.

Article No. 3.
Before | got fairly started with
the cooperative interest articles
Every One for Hissell" bobs W
and demands a purity test-that he
only who has no sin be allowed to
throw stones, and all because l own
stock in the Ashland Fruit and Pro
duce association, an institution
which is handling flour made in
klamath Falls. l did not suggest
that the merchants stop importing
flour. understand that the Ash
land mill does not manufacture
enough bread stuff to feed all the
people. only suggested that we
consume our own products first,
thereby cutting out Unnecessary
freights.
When Mr.. Sanford harnessed up
his horse and started out to lay in
his seasons supply of flour il he
had to get his flour at his own mill
or 60 to klamath Falls, 60 miles
away, there is every reason to think
that he would have patronized his
own mill. But since some one else
did the hauling and the merchant
was willing to shave his profit
enough to offset the freight and
still under-sell the home mill, in or
der to save money as he thought, he
bought klamath Falls flour. This
is the usual practice among people.
Mr.. Sanford, who is producer and
consumer is also exporting flour. If
he had been in the habit of demand
ing home products first and every
one of us consumers was doing so,
there is no doubt but what he would
have gotten his flour cheaper than
he did. He did not claim that Klam-
ath Falls flour was any better
understand that Seattle claims that
her flour is superior to ours and
asks more money for it. Now If
some one sues you and you fail to
appear in court the Judge renders
the verdict against you and you have
the bill to pay, right or wrong.
Outside buying and selling ought
not to enter in until we have first
consumed our own products. Is it
not about time that we refute the
charge that other communities are
making better stuff than us, if it is

not true? And if it is true, ought
we not correct the fault or get out
of the business?
The merchants are going to han
die about what the people want. II
the producers who are also consum-
ers are not making the best, there is
something wrong with the machinery
and il should be made good. II is
to the interest of all to make the
best and the duty of every one to see
TO II that we do make the best. II
the goods that we manufacture here
are not good enough for home con-
sumption and have to be shipped
away, it is certainly a bad recon-
mendation for our producers.
l am not claiming that the Ashland
Fruit ASSOCIATION did anything wrong
in buying flour at Klamath Falls.
On the contrary it did the correct
thing to buy from Klamath Falls,
since klamath Falls buys tons and
tons of our fruits and vegetables.
But | do say that all our merchants
should be forced to handle and give
first place to home products. And
it is the duty of the Fruit Association
to see to it,that the producer has
chance to buy his own products first,
and that the price to him is as low
as possible.
The next article will be on collect
i've buying and selling, keeping in
mind that any one who labors in
useful occupation is a producer. The
man who turns the brake that stops
the car that lands our products In
the markets of the world is just as
much a producer as the man who
sows and reaps.

Cake comes on the list of luXurles
at the present period of high prices,
so the utmost care should be taken
both in the method of preparation
and in the quality of material used.
Good flour is absolutely essential il
the best results are to be obtained.
Also care should be taken in the Sc
lection OF shortening, If butter is not
used. The best results and flavor
will always be obtained from but
ter, but owing to the high cost at the
present time, butter substitutes are
being used which give satisfactory
results. The mixing and baking OF
Il cake require both skill and judg-
ment The baking needs more study
and care than the mixing, for no
matter how well you have put cake
batter together, if the oven is not
right the cake may be failure.
There are two classes of cakes
which contain butter or other short
ening, and sponge cakes in which
the butter is omitted As the cakes
containing shortening offer more va
riety, we will study that subject first.
