The effort az Albany 20 tax the
large truck Of the highways q New
York deserves the earefulest debate.
Final consideration q il should IN any
event be postponed until the engin-
oering facts can be fully aseertained
ard understood
The whole spirit Ia which this at
tack upon q great and growing means
q chcapening communications is con-
+ Ived Is short sighted and NJ advised.
The prime effort Of every state, Of
wery legislature, should be to encour-
eye the truck, TO give Il every chance
Is develop freely. Its limits Of econ
omy have By 10 means been reached.
It's precise effects upon railroad and
general freight traffic remain 70 be es-
tablished. But enough has already
been accomplished TO demonstrate
that here Is the most important in
gtrument in economical distribution
invented since the railroad itself ar
rived.
The full benefits Of this new small
unit Of transportation cannot possibly
be won If it is to be opposed and hand
icapped az every turn by short-sighted
legislation. The broad attitude Of the
state should be to conform the roads
to this new vehicle rather than TO
hamper its development and future by
any arbitrary restriction Of weight or
size. As we build bridges to carry
the big locomotives rather than to
trim locomotives down 10 bridge ca
pacity, 50 roads should be made TO
carry the trucks that can make the
lowest rates.
The New York farmer and the New
York producer will be the chief suf-
ferers from any restrictive policy.
Other states are welcoming the truck
with open hands. The economies
which il can bring, the development Of
farms and markets which it makes
possible, will be for the citizens Of
other states and for New Workers
We are confident that mature con-
sideration Of the problem in its broad
err aspects will defeat the pending bill,
or az any rate postpone its consider
alton until the engineering aspects Of
the truck and highway problem can be
considered in their broadest relation
to public welfare.-New York Trib-

Of the state will hardly know what TO
expect from the Vermont Senate.
There are several other bills pending
which we had hoped the Senate might

plants where women and children are
employed. There is no question about
the desirability Of such an inspector
but II the Senate insists on facing

kill the bill. There are also other
chances for progress toward the rear.

now go to work and do its part toward

-YULETIDE IN THE COUNTRY
Christmas Day In the Old Farm Home
Recalls Fond and Pleasant
RecolIectIons.

~A HRISTMAS in the country.
W Christmas day in the old
farm home. What pleasant
A% memories 1t recalls to some
of us, and what good times
II will mean for many of us this year.
There is really no place like the farm
home for Christmas good times and
jOllity and good cheer Here, II any
where, prosperity and plenty abound,
and in family gatherings and in neigh
bOrh0od reunions, with an abundance
Of the fruits of our labor with which
to spread our bOuntiful boards, old
friendships may be renewed, new ones
made, and even the stranger within
our gates may be added to the list.
At Christmas time we may put into
practice the real principles of neigh
boring. Living close together does not
always make neighbOrs. Speaking ac-
quaintances are not always neighbors.
To be real neighbors we must have
the spirit of neighhorllness in our
hearts which prompts us to get to-
getherS once in awhile, to gather
around a well-laden table and feast,
and visit and laugh and joke and have
a rousing good time. To love our
neighbor as we do ourself, we have TO
know him pretty well, and there is
nothing like these neighborly reunions
as a means of getting acquainted.
I, q will hn
to do little mental and spiritual
housekeeping before Christmas day
dawns. We shall have to rid ourselves
Of all the old rubbish OF grudges, dis
likes, jeaIousies and i'll feelings which
we will find pigeon-hoIed away when
we begin to overhaul the accumula-
ton of the years. You will have to
throw all this into the discard before
you can get into the real Christmas
spirit, because the two will not mix,
If you have wronged your neighbor in
any way, Christmas is good time to
make PREPARATION. And If you feel that
YOU have been wronged, why, just for
get it. and the Christmas spirit and
the Christmas "get-together" will do
the rest. Christmas should be a time
Of peace and good will to all mankind,
and not to few favored friends. 1t
should be a time Of reviving old as
sociations, of renewing old friend
ships, and Of making new friends, and
the peace and good wilt the neigh
borliness and good fellowship thus re-
vived should not be allowed to die out
as the yule fires cease to burn, but
should flow out in plenteous stream
to enrich our lives through all the
DAYS of the coming yearA

m HE INSTITUTION of the festival
W Of the birth Of the Savior is

TIT HE lNSlIIUIlON OF the IeSLlFhl
W Of the birth Of the Savior is
attributed by some authorities
10 Pope Telesphorus, who died A. d.
1873.
In the early days of the Christian
religion it was one Of the most NOV
able of feasts, being often con-
founded with the Epiphany and cele-
brated by the eastern churches in
April and May. In the Fourth century
the urgency of ST. Cyril of Jerusalem
obtained from Pope julius /, an
order for an investigation to- be
made concerning the day Of Christ's
nativity. The result Of the Inquiry,
made by theologians of the East and
the West, was an agreement upon the
tSentyaifth of December.
AS told in the gospel Of st. Luke,
Christ was born in the night. There
fore, divine service is performed on
the night Of December 24-25. 1t Is
the custom in Roman Catholic
churches to usher in Christmas day
by the celebration of three masses,
one at midnight, the second at early
dawn, and the third In the morning.
This custom dates from the sixth
century.
Preparatory to Christmas the bells
are rung at midnight throughout Eng
land and the continent. After the
solemn celebration Of the mass in the
churches Of the continent, which are
lnagnifcently adorned for the festival,
It is customary for the worshipers to
nartake Of collation.
