everywhere. After this general

WAR prices and war wages
are tumbling. somewhat un-
eyenly'it is true, and as there
!. were those who made gains
on the. erstwhile soaring scale
there are now many who are
in fair way to meet with
losses and are meeting with
losses because of the inevita-
bic decline. Whether partly
by design or entirely through
natural causes, the process of
.readjustment IS upon US.
There were plenty of warn
ings, many of which went un+
needed, but also many which
could not be needed. Every
body is more or less effected,
in every business and occupa-
ton. But we must accept the
changing conditions and make
the best of them, for there is
hope, if the people and their
public servants are wise, of a
period of steady prosperity in
store for this nation when the
new level becomes established
and some of the more vexing
of the immediate problems,
national and worldwide, have
been solved.

LESSON OF CHRISTMAS DAY
Example of Christ Should Inspire Un-
seIfishness and Make Us Try to
Remedy Faults.

Christmas should inspire world of
unseltishness. The example before US
Is almost too perfect. for 1t rather
frightens us TO attempt such divine
heights of self-abnegation, but we can
try. 1t will at least take us from the
depths of selfishness. where most of us
now are. Each Christmas day should
teach us something of the lesson of
the Holy Child's life.
Ii we could learn from Christmas,
today and in the succeeding years the
serious lessons of self-betterment and
ennOblement 1t has to offer, how in
finitely better 1t would be than Just
to look on 1t as holiday for gifts and
feasts, for extravaganza and foolish
ness.
So take an hour or two off on
Christmas day and give 1t up to retro
spectiye and self-inspection. You will
each find faults, If you Judge yourself
impartially, for no one Is perfect. Then
make serious determination to try
to overcome those faults, for only try
Ing to improve is there any growth In
character. If you are satisfied with
yourself You stay just as you are with
all your faults and virtues. But II
you try hard to remedy the faults your
character is constantly growing broad
er. This Is the lesson which Christ
mas day has for each of you.

WHAT the governor and the

vention have to say about
future tax levies has a signih-
canoe that is in keeping with
the general trend toward re-
trenchment and financial stab
ility. Further increase in ex-
penditures at the cost of the
public is to be discouraged
and the energies of the state
are to be devoted in some
measure more to paying off
than to creating Indebtedness.
The same note of advice has
tor some time been heard in

And you both decide that the world is small
