Our Greetings TN THE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS

In the true spirit of the occasion and with Christmas greetings to the readers ot the Daily Times Christmas has a meaning pos sessed by no other holiday throughout the world. America has it's national and special days. other countries have theirs; Christmas is the only one alike in spirit and celebrated in all Christian lands. So pure IS its principle that it commands respect and admiration among people who worship their Creator ln different ways from ours
 Christmas typifies all that is best Ill man. kind It is the continuation of the human mind throughout the ages dwelling upon the wonders and mysteries of existence, turning to reverence for God and His representative on earth. It expresses the asCendcncy of spirit the realization of men of their interdependency and their duty to one another; and so 1t IS marked by the bestoWal of gifts and other sen tinents of benevoence and well wishing.
 The makers of newspapers, concerned as they are with the doings, manifestations and thoughts of their respective communities and the world at large, and recording them in their more important aspects for the information mayhap the education of readers, are brought into an intimate sense of the spirit and mean ing of Christmas Would that we could eX- press to you all the good that we see in the hearts of men and the increased briliancy be hind few shadows of the light which has up held the world for so many centuries In the happy auguries we see for the future, there is every reason to be merry.
 Our Yuletide thoughts go cut to the peo- ole of this community and our thanks are due the patrons and kind friends who have given us practical support or extended en- couragement during the year. May this be the best Christmas you have ever spent, is our wish to all ;>

WHAT IS NORMALCY

"Back to uormaIcy" k much discussed topic today. Just what is really meant hy it. We certainly are not aS bad morally or as un- sound financially as appears on the surface in these "somi -profitooring' and "shor skirt" times. What would he considered normal con ditions few years ago would be a plague to this modern and unsettled world of ours today. Wr have outIivcd the sagocoach pc riod and entered the life of the flying machine
 We are in progressive not q rcactionary- age. The So called normal times which seem to be implanted in some peoples minds are wocfuIly ont of step with the pace set by labor saving, time saving and pleasure making iu- gcnuity of the twentieth century, Science keeps right on pcrfccting ifs marvoIs of achievements, which finally has brought on transformation in our modes of living TIu- manity never was so fdgoty and upset as if is today for thc very reason of our progressive"
 ness. The World war with ifs dpstIuctivrnose
 wastcfuIncss and cNtravaganco has afflicted people with q craving for a change of life
 Along with sorrow and distress the war has given the masses as well as the classes taste of prosperity in a lavish expenditure and cir cuIaton of wealth. II has taught inc wa@o earning producer like the man with income, to acQuirc the habit of enjoying fully the com forts of life, which present day inventive genuis affords and which only money can buy.
The Cordova daily times., 1921-12-24

The masses have learned how to earn, save thrive and spend The products of brain, brawn and nature are no longer IuNuries only to exclusive classes Ordinary folks now un- dcrstand how to eat grapefruit for breakfast, drive an automobile and play game of golf, besides dabbling in finance, according to their means. Capital recognizes that todays pros pcrity depends on the prosperity of the masses, whose cooperation is npdcd, both fmancaI, lHd spiritually. Back to normal wages and financicrng applied to twentieth century ideas would he disastrous to the country. Produc- tion good wages and good times go well to- gcthcr. Money has never been more powerful as a medium of exchange than 1t has been when it was thoroughly circulated among the working classes. Money and lots of it, can be put to unlimited use for tn" well being of all, instead of lying idle, as too ortcn has been the case when little money and lots of work was required. The people of today care as much for what money will buy as they do for accumulation of a fortune. It would be hard to imagine most of us satisfied today without the automobile, the movie, the stcamheatcd flat, the up-to-date bungalow, etc It woud he nthinkable for the capitalist the farmer, the employer, the mechanic the tradcsman, the S~. hand-worIling, low standard living days WoudI women who now enjoy suffrage rights be willing to sacrifice the summer furs, the cos mctcs, the silk stockings the jazz dance and pcrchancc the cigarette, for the hoopskirt bust" and the monotonous pleasures of dcarI old grandmother? The nays have if.
 Indeed, uNmios of bygouc times have be- come necessities of today, not only in our modes of living but also have much to do with tho ~tabiIzaton of our economic prob

According to S. Z. Nicholson, of
