tOUF HE bestowal of Christmas
I'm boxes is of great antiquity,
E%ITH and was formerly the bounty
E&VK:S Of well disposed persons
who were willing to contrib
ute something toward the industrious.
Later the gift came to be demanded
as q right and became somewhat Of
a nuisance. Long ago the Roman Cath
Ollie priests had masses for every
thing, and if ship went to-the West
Indies they had box in her under
the protection Of some patron saint,
into which the sailors put money or
other valuables In order to secure the
prayers of the church. At Christ
mas these boxes were opened and were
thence called Christmas boxes. In
England the day after Christmas is
known .as Boxing day." from the
Christmas boxes which used to be in
circulation, and In the British mu-
scum can be seen boxes covered with
green glaze with slit In the side for
money and presents.

URGE FAMILY BUDGET
 ID PROMOTE THRIFT I

Waging it's campaign through the distribution of posters, the Y. w. c. A. will do it's bit in the nation wide thrift campaign which is being carried on this week. Advocating the budget plan, the Y. w C. A. believes that money will be saved and expenses regulated holding that as the govern ment, firms and corporations make budgets to put their finances on a business basis. it is reason enough for families to try the same method.
 "A budget shows the family how much should be spent for each divi- sion of expense and how much can be saved it is claimed. Then, too, where there are children it teaches them the value of thrift and business principles
 Under the governments budget plan, the family expenses are divided under the general heads of food. clothes. shel ter, operating expenses, recreation. ad- vancement and giving. The idea is to figure how much ought to be spent in 1920 under each head. dividing the totals by 12 to get the monthly budget.

 Prior to the first of this year, it is claimed, the railroad tariffs on cotton shipments were in jumbled condition that was made more satisfactory by the introduction of published schedules and reduction of approximately 20 per cent in the rate. Even the 25 per cent reuction. it is claimed, does not bring the tariff down to 2 level rela lively fair in comparison with other rates.
