In the Good Old Tines"

As far back as 100 years ago they
had in the state of Ohio a farmers
cooperative organization in Licking
county. Prices paid by this organ
ization ran thus: Wheat, % cents a
bushel; oats, 121a cents; corn, u
cents; potatoes, 1912 cents; flour, 81
per hundred; chickens, 81 cents doz-
en-; eggs, 312 cents, and maple sirup,
6 cents a gallon. However, these val
ues were only allowed when articles
were taken in exchange for products.
The figures were taken from old rec
ordS secured by the Ohio experiment
station, Just think Of selling dozen
chickens for 81 cents, Yum, yum
And eggs ut 31G cents a dozen. Gee
whitticker! Oats at 1912 cents a
bushel wasn't a very low price when
cognizance is taken of the fact that in
1896, when the free silver agitation
was at its height, oats sold in Indi-
ana at 10 cents bushel.-Indianapo

there, the days were fulfilled that she
should be delivered. And she brought
forth her first-born son; and she
wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and
laid him in manager, because there
was not room for them in the inn.
And there were shepherds in the
same country abiding in the field, and
keeping watch by night over their
flock. And an angel of the Lord stood
by them, and the glory of the Lord
shone round about them; and they
were sore afraid. And the angel said
unto them, Be no: afraid; for, behold,
bring you good tidings Of great joy
which shall be to all the people: for
there isfborn to you this day in the
city of David a Savior, who is Christ
the Lord. And this is the sign unto
you: Ye shall find babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes, and lying in a man
ger.
And suddenly there was with the
angel a multitude of the heavenly host
praising God, and saying
Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace among men in whom
he is well pleased.

if the orator learns 2 good speech and
if the boy who makes the gestures
waves his arms and makes very bad
and inappropriate gestures. 1t is espe-
cially trying for the orator if the

THE SANTA PARTY
How Lots of Christmas Fun May
Be Had by Boys Club.
Each Lad Provides One Present, Made
by Himself, for old Kris
Kringle's Bag.
PACE

THE biggest boy in the club should
L be the Santa Claus. To dress
him up, borrow a bath robe, and trim
it round the collar and cuffs with some
old fur. A big fur cap is the thing
for Santa Claus head, and a great
big bag should be provided for him
to hang over his shoulder to carry
the presents in. A paper mask for
Santa can be bought at some small
store for about twenty cents, and a
big beard can be made of excelsior,
died up so as to stay in place. If
the excelsior can be dyed gray all the
better.
Each boy in the club should pro-
vide one present for Santa's bag. 1t
would be better if each boy should
make the present himself. Good things
for such presents are bean bags, base
balls bats, shiny sticks, tops, mar
bles, short wooden swords, sings
putty blowers, jew's-harps, soap-bubble
pipes, jack-stOnes, match-safes, candy
chewing gum, and so on.
All the presents for the Santa Claus
party should be handed to a commit
tee of three knights, whose duty il
is to pack them all neatly in Santa
Claus bag. At the time Of the party
the members of the club should gather
together in the meeting room, and the
committee may meet in a room nea!
by with the big boy who is to be SAINT
Claus. They must dress him up anc
escort him to the club When SAINT"
comes in all will rise, and the presi
dent will say:
Correcting, Santa Claus; the boy
await you"
Santa may reply, Greeting, my chi
dren."
Then Santa passes out the presents
1t is best for the boys to form a line
and for Santa to reach in the bag
without looking and pull out the first
thing that comes to his hand.
The last present in the bag is Santa
Claus. A good deal Of amusement can
be had at the party if committee of
five boys is chosen to look after the
entertainment. A good plan is to get
I'D shadow pictures. A sheet is hung
I'D near one end of the room, about
five feet from the wall. Behind the
sheet, close to the wall and low down
ls placed a strong light. The knights
and others who are to be the audience
all sit in front, and when everything
IL ready all lights except the one be
hind the sheet are put out. The boys
who are to make the shadow pictures

Preventing Accidents.

In the last five years the executives
of American industry have become
thoroughly convinced Of the value of
organized accident prevention, some
because of the dOllars-and-cents pos
sibilities, others because they hated
to see their men killed or injured.
Even today discoveries are being
made in the science of accident pre-
ventiOn. Within the last year, for in
stance, there has been enunciated the
principle that every accident is the
symptom of an inetficiency; that ev-
erything which is really efficient is
safe, and that every machine or proc
ess which is really safe is Efficient
