BLESSINGS OF THE
HOME TOWN PAPER

The Home Town Newspaper Ia
known by it's fruits as well as any
other righteous cause. OF course 1t
sells home news and advertising news
just as any salesman sells his wares,
but the most pleasing fruit Of the
Home Town Paper is the happiness
and prosperity it brings to the COM
munity in which it appears. A stu
dent in journalism from the Utah
Agricultural college was once sent to
farmer to get story on his econ
omical use Of pasturage. an tell you
about my pastures" said the farmer,
"but first come and see my electric
pump. The Salt Lake papers had a
story about it last Saturday and our
home paper copied it." And the way
he said "home paper" showed how
proud he was of the distinction, how
pleased he was that the home paper
chronicled the progressiveness Of the
county farmer as we'll as that of the
town merchant. 81 mean to write to
my boy every Sunday" said one
Utah mother. "But I know he gets
the home paper every week, even IL
/ don't have time to write. He says
tho home town papers in the Agri-
cultural college library are read to
rags"
"That editorial about father sure
made us feel good" said a young
man, who had just lost his father, to
a country editor who had made in
telligent and sympathetic comment
on the loss the country had sustain
ed in the death of so valuable citi-
zen.
And so il goes. The home town
paper sheds its kindly light, bene-
ficient light, all over Utah, from st.
George to Preston, from Grouse
Creek to San Juan. It is as much
community institution as church,
school or public library. Since the
war there have been many deaths
among country newspapers, especial
iy in New York state, and every
where where the home paper has
been discontinued the community life
has weakened. You cannot put any
thing over in town without local
paper, whether it be new business
a county fair, or commercial club
From bank president to beet topper
we all need our home town paper.

HAYS CHRISTMAS GREETING.

Can anyone recall predecessor OF Postmaster
General Hays issuing Christmas greeting to his
workers? ITO every postal co-worker' (not sub
ordinate, be it remarked), says Mr.. Hays, II send
Christmas greetings and I earnestly hope that
their happiness may be as great as is my gratitude
for their splendid discharge of duty"
This holiday message of congratulation and good
cheer is eloquent of the new spirit of cooperation
that has infused the personnel of the postal service
from the highest officials to the special delivery
boys, since the fourth OF last March. This decided
improvement Of morale" this earnesness and en-
thusiasm with which the entire force is tackng its
important task, means much to the general public,
which comes into more intimate and constant con
tact with the postoffice than with any other de-
partment of the government. 1t would be possible
for the head of this greatest business in the world
to issue perfunctory greeting to his associates
every year and yet be far removed from them
in personal knowledge and sympathy as was his
immediate predecessor. But Mr.. Hays way is t.
act first and talk afterward.
Mr.. Hays is now working on a pension scheme
and more equitable arrangement for sick leave
He is seeking to make the postal service more at
tractive to workers. This will result in great gain
for the public. Mr.. Hays says he is determined to
make the postoffce department "a partnership

government all Joining hands for the common wei.

I"You are beneath the mistletoe,
and you are going to be kissed.
Hi. girlsi TIo, girls! Come out of
the woods and kiss this great big
Fox boy!' called Uncle Wiggily.
He is under the mistletoe and he
can be kissed! Come, girls! Kiss
him."
Now you stop! Don't let any
girls kiss me! oh, don't want to
be kissed! 1 hate girls!" cried the
bashful Fox boy II didn't know
you had mistletoe here! I'm not
going to be kissed. No, I'm not"
yes, you are! Come, girls-he's
under the mistletoe!" cried the
bunny teasing like.
mo! MOI" howled the Fox boy,
and not stopping to take even a
teeny nibble from the bun
ny, away ran the bad chap.
"Ha! Hal" laughed Mr.. Long
ears, as he took down the mistletoe
and hoped away with it. II was
only teasing him. There aren't
any girls within a hundred miles
who would kiss him! Hal Ha!
| But it's good thing l knew what
mistletoe was forl"
And Nurse Jane said the same
thing when the bunny reached his
hollow stump bungalow. So every
! one was happy because Christmas
was coming, except, perhaps, the

ALBUQUERQUE AND THE NEW CENSUS.

The proposal of Secretary Herbert Hoover for
in 1925 might mean much or little to AL
buquerque The secretary is actuated by desire
to issued a which reflects a nation ar
rived at normally" He does not wish to see the
does he desire to have the ranks of farm labor APP
pear unduly depleted.
Should that census be taken in 1925 and the
present territorial limits of Albuquerque remain as
they are, this city would not profit greatly by the
added five years growth The tendency here today
is toward the expansion of the business areas
Home building is progressing fastest outside of city
limits.
The tendency in that direction will be more
marked in the future. Business may eventually line
North Fourth street to the present city limits.
Dwellers will be driven farther out. The Highland
regions, the along the Alameda pavement, the
district beyond Fourteenth street along Central
avenue-these are future residential sections and
apt to be thicky settled within few years
AS business crowds into area now given over to
homes the number of residents within the present
city limits will decline If the census reports on
Albuquerque to reflect the city's growth they
must include the new residential areas.
1t is time to begin looking out for 1925.
Congress has much faith in the wisdom Of Herbert
Hoover 1t is apt to adopt his suggestion and order
a at the end of the five-year period The
present figures of Albuquerque are ridlc-
ulously low, but If the proper expansion of city
limits is made the percentage Of growth in five
years may be made to appear extremely high
The Kiwanis club has started movement toward
an increase in city territory Now is the time to
put 1t across.

MILES OF FIRE.

Figuratvely speaking this world is all cluttered
up with things laid end to end around the equa-
tor and back and forth from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. Whenever anyone wants to impress us
with the extensive muttudinousness of something
he spreads it out before the human imagination in
long strings parallel to the zodiac and winds it
round and round like equatorial skein.
Well, anyway, the total length Of our electric
and steam railways is 417,O0o miles. If were
to lay alongside of this track the cigars consumed
annually in the United States we would have
enough cigars left over to encrcle the
five times. But vast as is this cigar mileage
-545145 miles-it is less than onethird the mile
age of a single years consumption of cigarettes in
America.
That is quite lot of fires to kindle in one coun-
try every year and need not wonder that some
of the matches and burning ends go wrong. These
mishaps cause appalling waste of life and prop
erty through fires. List year 1920 people wera
burned to death and 1854 were seriously injured
by fire in this country The annual property loss
is estimated at s242,OOO,OO0. Such figures should
make both smokers and all others who handle fire
thoughtful.

(From the Cincinnati Enquirer)
President Harding is correct in his belief that
industrial matters generally throughout the country
show satisfactory improvement

reactions of do not attract public attention.
Necessarily these Establishments usually slow,
often almost mperceptible But in every historical
period the laws of economic rehabilitation have eff

right lines General exceptional prosperity will be
the result, 1t is safe to say now within twelve

For instance, new construction throughout the
country in the first ten months of the present year
almost equals the whole of the construction of last
year, according to survey by the Chamber Of
Commerce of the United States, this week made
public.
Forty-four important cities report s603, 600 600
in construction during the ten-month period,
and this sum only partly represents the aggregate
cost IL figured to date, including the facts in semi
annual and quarterly reports.
That labor conditions improving generally
throughout the country also is evident from the re-
ports made by great employing firms in the paper,

FOR EVERY MAN A CHANCE.

A great deal of what has been wrong with our
civilization since the advent OF machinery on a
huge scale is the thwarting or the misapplication
OF individual capacity. Probably every man, no
matter how numskulled he may seem, is born with
the ability to do thing supremacy well.
In ideal state managed by superhuman intelli-
gence, each of us would be given that work whcn
we do better than others And the result would
be happiness. For by and large happiness Is not
much in place and possessions except as symbols,
1t is in the release and exercise of the faculties
In America we have approached freedom of op.
portunity for each man, no matter how humble, to
find and follow his bent. No caste barrier inter
poses between the worker and the thing he was
put into the world to do. Lack of education may
lack of will and persistence-the general absence
of a stout heart-often does. Circumstances which
fond Of holding responsible for all of Our
personal heartaches and humiliations, are not to
blame often blame them. Still, the rise
of industrial system based largely machine
made products. and the consequent standardizng of
both the man and the machine. undoubtedly does
operate to keep in grooves for which they
not fitted.
But no man can be standardized IL he resolutey
refuses to be standardized Agitator; who proclaim
otherwise and who invite the worker to consider
how his individuality is stifed by the machine he
operates appealing to that very human weak
of ours to fasten someone Cor somethingI
else the odium for our failures. They ignore the
vast number of round boys who have less
firmly declined to be squeezed into square holes.
If there is standardizng tendency in industry the

New York, Dec. 21.-More liqui-

rates and additional cuts in prices
of commodities, chiefly oils and
sugars, were factors in today's re-
dictionary stock market.
Conditions in the steel and iron
industry also invited selling of
those issues. Weekly trade reviews
stressed the recent slackening of
demand at Pittsburgh and other

laughed the muskrat lady. Mis-
tletoe is only q name. l don I
know why they call it that. But
it is a vine with green leaves--not
as green or glossy as the holly
and it has white berries instead
of red
what do you do with it ?" asked
the bunny.
Hang it around for Christmas
just as you do the holly" was
Nurse James answer. "ft is said
to bring good luck. and If any one
stands under the mistletoe he or
she may be kissed"
"Oh, ho!" chuckled the bunny.
ut is like a valentine! I'll bring
you home some mistletoe, Nurse
Jane. Never fear"
So Nurse Jane never feared, and
Uncle Wiggily went hopping over
the fields and through the woods
to look for an adventure. He did
not find one at once, though he
did find some mistletoe growing
on an old. dead tree, and the bum
NY picked a pawful of tho twigs,
with their small, green leaves and
the cluster of little white berries,
looking as il made of wax.
"Um" whispered Uncle Wiggily
to himself, as he hoped along
with the mistletoe, "the berries
look like the pills I had to take
the last time I was i'll. I'm glad
they aren't pills, though"
Uncle Wiggily was almost at his
hollow stump bungalow, carrying
the mistletoe that Nurse Jane was
to use in decorating for Christmas.
Coming to a soft, messy log, Uncle
Wiggily sat down to rest, and he
put the mistletoe on the broad
limb of a tree over his head so II
would not be stepped on, as 1t
might be IL he left 1t on the
ground.
Uncle wiggily, beneath the mis-
tletoe, was almost asleep. when,
all at once. he was roughly shaken,
and awakened to see big fox boy
standing near.
ooh, ho!" snickered the Fox boy,
being a rough sort of chap. "This
is the time I've caught you, Uncle
Wiggily"
"Well, It does seem So" Uncle
Wiggily answered. and he blinked
his eyes and twinkled his pink
nose, trying to think of way out.

have caught you many times"
went on the Fox boy, sort of BASH

from them. You can't get away
from me, though. I have you
Tight" and he caught hold of I'M

YES, It does seem So" said the
bunny again. But still, can get

green leaves and white mistletoe

head. do you know where you

"Why. yes, I am standing near
you, and soon / am going to nibble
you" was the answer. where

Beneath the mistletoe!" cried
the bunny, making his voice sound
as deep and silent as possible.

attention to another major problem, the settlement
Of the submarine question.
Thus the armament parley is moving forward
The power of the American secretary of state has
been felt and the American system of diplomacy
has been indicated before the world.
1t Is to be hoped that Mr.. Hughes may feel the
need Of outlining to the conference the American
ideas on poison gases and other implements of war.
If he does his words will carry with them the
authority OF the American army and navy advisers.
His proposal whatever 1t may be. is almost certain
to be sensible and feasible.
Every American should feel gratifed at the
progress of the conference.

And golden bracelets for thy wrists
And silver ribbons for thy curls,
