CHRISTMAS BUYING
OF NATION LIBERAL,
WASHINGTON HEARS
PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU


WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The spirit
of giving Christmas gifts was not
vitiated during the holiday season, ac-
cording to reports which have been
received in Washington from all parts
of the country.
At many points the liberal Christ
mas buying, it is said. did much TO
bring retail business for the year clos
er to normal proportions than many
merchants thought possible even so
late as month ago.
Christmas trade in the east and
west appears TO have been the best.
1t is generally reported that holiday
spending was not entirely voluntary
From nearly all parts of the country
the report comes that it took much
wheedling and coaxing TO induce the
public to spend its money.
Merchants report that there was not
any noticeable change in the character
of goods demanded for Christmas gifts
this year. An organized effort to in
duce the public to purchase wearing
apparel for gifts had no effect, reports
indicate. Cloaks and dresses and
mems suits and overcoats continued
to be the exceptional instead of the
popular Christmas gifts.
LuXuries of the cheaper type were
in great demand all over the nation
There was an exceptionally large sale
of toys, the reports show. Prices
for toys were less than year ago, due
probably. to the fact that a large part
of the toys offered were of German
manufacture Many American toy
factories have been closed because OF
the large imports of German-made toys
in recent months.
As the year draws to close reports
received by the United States Cham
Der of Commerce in Washington show
continued stagnant markets for al
farm commodities, coupled with prices
below the cost of production.
The universal feeling is that there
can be no better times that are en-
during or worth while until the prices
of farm products advance materially
or else the prices of other commodities
decline propoTtionately," says Archer
w. Douglas, chairman of the commit
tee on statistics of the United States
Chamber of Commerce.
Lower costs of transportation are
among the matters of moment that
add hope of better business in some
lines after the coming year. In agri
culture it means a moderate increase
of price to the farmer, although not
necessarily to the consumer of farm
products"

FARM BUREAU EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE MEETS

The executive committee Of the
Lawrence County Farm Bureau met at
Mount Vernon Friday and held very
important session.
! The Bureau had under consideration
the farmers referendum bills now be-
fore congress and voted solidly for all
but Nos. and s, and the majority
were in favor of these two measures
also.
They decided to have a rooster Gull
ing some time this month at which
time they expect 70 dispose of every
cock in the county. They expect the
market to guarantee ] or 2 cents more
per dozen On all eggs not fertile. They
have also another object in culling the
ROSTERS and that is to breed purer
line of chickens.
The county is also getting rid of
scrub bulls through the efforts of the
Farm Bureau. They will see that the
Lawrence county Bureau members get
an opportunity to buy registered ami
mails at reasonable price when they
dispose of their scrubs. They wish to
have county of high grade stock.
The Bureau committee discussed the
lime crusher project. Samples of five
different limestones were examined
and it was found that they ranged
from 90 to SO per cent pure. A test
has been made of Lawrence county
soil and it has been found that lime is
needed in all parts of the county
ranging from 5000 pounds to 5000
pounds to the acre. The Bureau hopes
to hold lining campaign and then
TO encourage the farmers to grow
alfalfa on every farm. Alfalfa will do
we'll in this section provided the soil
receives the proper lime treatment.
Many other important questions
were discussed by the committee.

GIVE US MORE
PROPERTY OWNERS

Property owners are the best guar
antee of life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness. The more property
owners America has the better off we
will all be. The fewer it has the more
we win all be in danger.
The negro owners of property in
Tulsa, were the ones who did their
best to hold back the leaders of their
race who were primarily responsible
for the rioting there this week. If
there had been more negro property
owners the rioting would never have
taken place.
1t is property owners who always
are to be depended upon to do the
thing that will make for best results
in the long run. 1t was property
owners in Joplin who voted the jitneys
off of Main and Twentieth streets
two weeks ago. It is property owners
here who are willing to work and con-
tribute money to bring about those
improvements that will make the city
increasingly and permanently attrac-
tive.
1t was the property owners of Webb
City who refused to admit defeat
when the sheet ground mines closed,
but who turned to factories and farm
ing development and have succeeded
in keeping the town in quite the same
class it has always been.
1t was the property owners of Bax-
ter Springs who voted extensive paw
ing improvements a few weeks ago
and who put man in the mayors
chair who they believed would most
certainly carry out their wishes in this
regard.
1t is the property owners of Picher
and Miami and Quapaw and Carter
vile who are standing by while the
fly-by-nighters betake themselves to
greener pastures, and it is the proper
ty owners who will live to profit by
their action in the end.
The more property owners town
has the more certain it is to progress
and maintain it's rank among other
towns. The fewer it has the surer it
