We made prophecy before Christ
mas that this would be a year of
sensible present giving and it seems
that we were a good prophet. The
large department stores report that
never since they have been in business
have they had a year when customers
ciamored so long and loudly for use
ful presents as this year. Those de-
partments which were stocked heavily
with jewelry and all kinds of decora-
ton effects both for personal adorn-
nent and for the home are still stock
ed. And the departments carrying
Aluminium ware, electrical kitchen
appliances, rugs. useful articles of
cl0t thing and the like, were completely
sold out. The volume of Christmas
shopping was practically the same as
far as the money involved is concern
ed, but the returns in usefulness and
satisfaction will be much larger.
Even in toys for the children the
tendency seemed to be TO get away
from purely knick knacks and the
useless kind of toy, and people were
giving instead toys of more lasting
and constructive nature.
We are inclined to belive that this
is one result of the war. for during
the war people who gave foolish and
useless presents were very severely
criticized Sometimes we are inclin-
ed to think shat the war didn't do
much for ns. but it is probably in
intangible thing of this kind where
we are not able to measure the good
that we receiyeour greatest benefits. -

Chester I. CrOwell, in an article
Oh prOiiteering, explains all this
bomb throwing and bloOd-thirsty
talk of the anarchists by saying thai
employees have lost faith in the men
who employ them. Because a few
men in the country have profiteered,
stigma has been cast over all. In
trying times, some men are certain
to lose their heads. They are daz-
Zled by the opportunity to take a
quick profit But these men are
always in the minority.
Mr.. CrOwell goes on to say that
'men will work long and hard and
live on a crust of bread in order to
pay tribute to the god of job
well done" They have always been
that way. "If / had a shoe factory
today" he says, II would put over
it an electric sign with letters ten
feet high, HERE WE SERVE HU-
MAINLY BY MAKING SHOES.
Then if | had to fire. any one he
would be disgraced. He would be
disgraced because he did not belong
to the goodly number who serve hui
manity by making shoes. But if
were making shoes for a profit only
and fired a man, it would be a
reasonable assumption on his part
that | was not satisfied with the
amount of profit 1 collected off his
labor. He would 90 out of the
place angry and resentful; ne might
set fire to it or put bomb under it,
No matter what paid him, he would
still be convinced that it was mucl
less than could afford to pay"
To remedy this condition The
American employer must restore
faith in his employees. And ht
must do it by acts not by talking
aud writing.

Bill Schimmel, an old timer, lead

fact that he played little ball this
season his delivery was a bit wild at
times. After the second stanza he
was succeeded by Stanton. who after
four innings gave way to Mcdonnell.
Heavy hitting and very little good

game. At one instance with three
men on bases, C. Mcdonnell lined one
out for a three Dagger.
