y HR1STMAS is one OF the most oustand-
- ing realities in history. II comment
crates the birth OF one who has been the
most potent factor of all times in the de-
velopment Of progressive civilization.
The birth OF Jesus marked n definite turn
ing point in history. When the angel choir
sang 10 the shepherds on the Judean hills
Peach on earth, good will toward men,
they conveyed message that inspired hui
man hearts with JOY. Thenceforth, the
world turned its face to the future and be-
gan to plan for the realization of the prom
Use. The period thus predicted has been
slow in coming But after nineteen cen
turtles of retarded progress il is about TO be
realized After the most catacysmic war in
all history the men OF all nations charged
with the conduct OF public affairs have had
an awakening, and that awakening has in
clned their hearts to the music that brought
rejoicing to the shepherds who kept the
midnight watch over their tocks or the
hills of Judea.
Peace on earth may not as yet be wholly
assured but there is a growing sentiment
among all peoples that can be depended on
10 ban war as a method Of settling contro-
versies between nations In signed agree
ments' the clashing of conflicting interests
has been SO safeguarded against appeal to
force that the thought OF war is being dis
missed from the minds Of statesmen as the
crude weapon of savagery--not of civiliza-
ton. International rights and wrongs

The Thanksgiving CrSnbcrry.

Mrs. L. r.. Richmond.-Probably
very little Is generally known as to
the origin of the cranberry. Origin
ally 1t grew wild. as. In fact 1t does
today in several OF the Canadian
border states. In the salt marshes or
the coast States. in the glades OF
the Alleghanies and ms far South as
Virginia and the. Carolinas. The
wild cranberry. however. Is distinctly
inferior TO Its cultivated relative.
Both grow on small, hardy shrub
about six inches in height. The fruit
takes Its name from the appearance
OF tho flower. which, Just before ex-
panding into perfection, bears a
marked resemblance to the neck,
head and bill of n crane. Hence tho
name "crane-berry," which has be-
como Cranberry" Thanksgiving and
the cranberry are one and INSOFAR
able. During the year the cranberry
makct is steady. but In the month OF
November tho demand is phenomenal,
over half OF tho years crop being
disposed of within thirty days, Over
II million bushels are marketed each
ycar, In tho United States.

SEEN ON THE SIDE
by HENRY EDWARD WARNER
Snntn Claus.

There is yink called Santa Claus,
who comes around each year,
And alphabetically brings
a bunch of Christmas cheer;
In theory, he loads his back
with presents. rich. and free.
And an lima gindry share
OF presents come to mo.
His tabled face is round and red,
Ills mythical nose Is blue.
Hes twice as big as any stack
That he comes dropping through.
The fairy story says he comes
With mirth. and love. and Joy.
To every home. to every heart.
To every girl and boy.
I do not KNOW cannot say
l have no way to learn.
For he has never come to me:
Perhaps it's not my turn!
The only thing I'm sure about
Is that I'm waiting hero:
I'll dare the eon-of-a-Eun to make
This one my lucky year!
