Just now the Disarmament
Conference is receiving a great
deal of commentator TO- the
work accomplished. For our
part, we see nothing to commend.
In fact as we view the actions,
it would have been better had
the conference never come to-
gether. True, if the 5-5-3 pro-
gram is adopted, some money
will be saved to the taxpayers
for a time; but if the treaty al
ready signed is ratified, the
foundation for the next worlO
war will then have been laio
with no power in sight to pre-
vent it.
The United States, England,
France and Japan are now the
big it of the world, and the
. treaty now signed brings them
together in a defensive alliance
to hold their illgotten gain in the
Pacific and elsewhere about the
world. But this treaty gives
these countries no legal rights
not possessed before, and only
serves to notify the balance OF
the world that these countries
intend to control the lands in
and bordering on the Paclhc.
For this very purpose England
and Japan entered into an alll-
ance which was considered bau
for the other two countries now
in the pact. For the life Of US
we can see no improvement by
adding this country and France
to that alliance, and this new
treaty can only. serve to cause
apprehensions in the other
countries and make them look
with suspision on every move
made by the allied nations.
The only way wars will be
prevented is by even and exact
justice in international affairs.
Just so long as greed and the
willingness to use power to en-
force its dictates is recognized
in world affairs, just SO long will
war recur as the court of last
resort.

&E I SEEMS that when one
has grown a little old, the
best and the happiest way
\%Z to celebrate Christmas is to
to do something for remem-
brance-in remembrance of ones own
childhood, for Christmas Is really for
the children, after all.
1t is for children more than for 9TH
ers because 1t is day that commem-
crates the birth of child-that won
drouS Christ child that was born in a
manager of a stable in the little town
Of Bethlehem 1000 years ago.
Now, there will be scarcely a child
in all the world who will not await
the dawn of Christmas morning with
wondering soul 1t is the dawn of
that day when the morning stars sang
together and when peace on earth
and good win toward men were pro
claimed from the high heavens But,
there will be many child to whom
Christmas will not bring Its dearly
longed-for happiness.
The children of the rich will, not
be disappointed, nor will the children
Of the very poor be disappointed. 1t
is the child who has not rich or WELL
TODD folks, but who, at the same time,
is not subject for charity, who Will be
unhappy when Christmas comes. y
And it is this child that you should
seek out and make happy-for remem-
brances
You see, 1t is a fact that we can
make happy Christmas for ourselves
only by making some one else happy.
Do not think that you can make
happy Christmas for yourself any 9TH
er way, because you cannot do SO.
Try the way here pointed out. The
child is easily found, and when you
have found that one anu have made II
happy the very angels Of God win
envy you the gladness tHat you Will.

plicate which were not initiated she
FASTENED to the place from, which they
had been purchased and picked out
other articles Of beauty and Of house
hold necessity.
Her friends had really been remark
ably kind. She had been surprised
to find how ready the shops had been
about taking back gifts and substitute
ing with others, or in engraving pres,
ents which had not already been en-
graved. Only one had charged for
engraving-the gift had been purchased
at wholesale rate" and so engraving
was not included.
Altogether from the point Of view
Of presents as well as from the point
of view Of mate she had done re-
markably well. This would enable
them to make very good appearance
in their home without having to draw
from the none too plentiful savings.
She viewed everything over again
one evening, presents and those which
were exchanges. There was just one
thing among them that was not nee
essary and not particularly pretty. 1t
was gravy-dish. She Knew Of no
particular use to which she could put
it-she had one of the kind she really
fixed.
She could not exchange it. 1t had
a monogram in the center.
Il know what I'll do with It," she
said to her husband. "Pll give 1t to
Molly Stevens for a Christmas pres
ent. She has been so good to us and
I'd like to show her how much /
appreciate it.
"You know she is going to get mar
ried in the spring-that is7-her en-
gagement is all but announced
Don't you think 1T would be good
idea? She was so helpful about my
wedding and she has told me, quite
confidentally,. that the wedding will
be in the spring.
1T would be good idea to give her
Okolona messenger. (Okolona, Miss.) 1900-current, 1921-12-15

something for Christmas that she
could have for her new home.
1--WE really can't afford to buy
another thing just now and that will
do beautifully"
"But the monogram her husband
inquired.
"Oh, that car be taken off you
know, and another one put there in
its place. l heard some one ordering
that to be done in one of the silver
shops the other day"
Eyes, that's a splendid idea," her
husband heartily agreed.
'TlI go downtown and attend to 1t
tomorrow. / haven't much time
Christmas is almost here"
"Our first Christmas" said the
young husband as he clasped his
bride to him.
"our first Christmas" she muir
injured.
The next evening he asked her If
she had arranged about sending the
gravy ulSH W 0nOlAS .oNSFSho'
IT couldn't send it." she said.
"Why not?" he qierIed,
Because Of the monogram, in the
center" she said.
"But you told me that that could
be erased by the sIlyersmiths and a
new monogram placed there" her
husband persisted.
II know I did, the young bride
answered, 'but ydG see they told me
today at the shop that It would be
possible to do It We're 1t not for the;
fact that it had been done so often to
this gravy dish that they wouldn't
dare take chance with it again,
They'd not be able to avoid boring a
hole this time It has been given
away once too often for me to put to
any use, she sighed sadly.

more than any one elsel"

days Marian planned her Christmas
dinner She sailed nuts, she made
cranberry sauce. She ordered a fine
young turkey. She wasn't nervous
about the turkey-that was just about
as easy as chicken.
Yes, she was planning to have the
old-time Christmas dinner. She
wouldn't tell Bert. She would sur
prise him. And then, if she did tell
him, she might be more nervous about
the things she had planned to do; feel
ing that he was going to be so proud
of her that she couldn't fulfill his ex-
pectatiOns of her success.
So She worked and planned and
schemed.
And that Christmas eve when Bert
kissed her goodnight she smiled to
herself as she heard him say:
swell, it's quite true. People have
always eaten TOO much at Christmas
time in-past years"
Bert's family all arrived in due sea-
son for Christmas dinner
swell, were you nervous over your
first turkeyT' asked Aunt Emlina.N
And how happy Marian was that she
could say that she hadn't been nerv-
GUS and that 1t was going to come out
all right she thought.
81 bet it was job making your
first plum pudding" said Uncle
George, and Bert looked angry and
grieved He didn't want anyone to
make his Marian feel uncomfortable.
And now his own family were doing 1t.
"Uncle George" Bert said, 1--WE
meant to tell you. We're not going
to have one Of those old-time din
ners. We think that people have all
ways felt wretchedly at Christmas, ana
after Christmas indigestion and all.
So we're just going to have a nice.
simple dinner"
Marian had left the room now. But
she could hear the defending note in
Bert's voice and at the same time a
note Of sadness that their dinner was
going to be so simple.
She wanted to rush in now and tell
them all that 1t wouldn't be so simple
and to put her arms around Bert's
neck and kiss him. He was standing
up for her. And they were all try
ing to be critical And she had In
Vited them all to her house. This
was the way they were accepting her
hospitality!
"But, following number more simz
ilar remarks on how did she get along
Okolona messenger. (Okolona, Miss.) 1900-current, 1921-12-15

to boast Of what she could dol
AT last came the dessert-mince pie
and apple pie and plum pudding, too.
How Bert's eyes opened wide with
surprise when he saw the pudding.
nWhat did you mean when you said
you were going to have a new kind
Of dinner without any Of the Christ
mas trimmings7" asked Uncle George.
'My wife likes surprises" Bert
beamed. And after they~had all gone,
Bert said:
They behaved atrociously, but oh
How proud was Of you. And Ma
rian darling =
'Yes, dear?"

BELIEFS OF THE PEASANTS
Odd Christmas Supersttions Handed
Down From Past Ages to the
Ignorant Europeans.

> HE peasantry of Europe
have had certain Christmas
superstitions handed down
O to them from past ages.
Just how far these simple
folk can be fooled is to be wondered.
If the light is let go out on Christ
mas morning, you will see spirits.
If you are born at sermon time
Christmas eve, some one in the house
will die within the year.
If you steal hay the night before
Christmas, and give the cattle, some,
they will thrive and you will not be
caught in any future thefts.
If you eat raw egg, fasting on
Christmas morn, you can carry heavy
weights. 1t is unlucky to carry any
thing from the house on Christmas
morning until something has been
brought in.
1t is unlucky to give a neighbor a
live coal to lllndle a fire with on
Christmas morning.
If the fire burns brightly on Christ
mas morning. it betokens prosperity
during the year; if it smolders, ad-
versity.
If a dog howls the night before
Christmas, it. win go mad within the
year.
If you steal anything at Christmas
without being caught, YOU can steal
safely for year.
On Christmas eve thrash the gar
den with fail, with only your shirt
on, and the grass will grow well next
year.
Tie wet strawbands around the or
chard trees on Christmas eve and it
will make them fruitful.
On Christmas eve put a stone on
every, tree, and they win Bear the
more.
Beat the trees on Christmas night,
and they will bear the more.
II after a Christmas dinner you
shake out the tabIecloth over the bare
ground under the open sky, crumb-
wort viii grow on the spot.
If on Christmas day or eve, you
hang a washcloth out on the hedge,
and then groom the horses with It,

Kelley Gets Vennette Again

Ernest Vennette, the boy who escaped
from the Jail at Hyde Park after two un-
successful attemps to escape from officers,
was lodged back in his old cell Saturday
by Deputy Sheriff James Kelley and seems
more satisfied with his surroundings than
he formerly was. The lad is of slight
stature and is only Is years Of age.
From what could be learned of the
manner in which Vennette made good his
escape, he jumped a freight after escaping
from the Jail in broad day light and rode
as far as East Hardwick
Sheriff Kelley got Vennette at the St.
Johnsbury Jail, where he had been taken
following his arrest at West Danville.
Sheriff Stevens and his esti1nable wife are
