 T have been holding back my sub scription so that I could make 1t on the birthday of my first son, who has departed this world, as me- morial to him.
 Had he lived, he would have at tended Auburn and I would have wanted him to have the best of all things.

THE II. c. WELLS FAN
BY Walt Mason

I'm reading all that Wells is writ
ing, his volumes full of sense and
snap, his books descriptive of the
fighting that wiped the kaiser off the
map; his history, whose scope sur
prises all men who would world annals
know; his tales, in which he analyses
the souls of John and Richard Roe.
His tracts, in which new creeds are
fashioned, and old ones to the dump
are tossed, his essays, soaring and i'm
passioned-I read them all, and hang
the cost. And thus my golden hours
are taken, l have no time for honest
toll; my aunts must scrub to earn the
bacon, my grandma tills the fertile
soil. The pastor says he's sorely smit.
ten because 1 go to church no more;
but books by Wells have just been
written, and 1 must get them at the
store. The statesmen seek me at my
howell, to ask me why | do not vote;
they find me with a new Wells novel
that strikes a high and ringing note
The grocer comes, his pencil whiting
and counts up sums he says are due;
he sees me sitting up with Britling
and Mr.. Drifting sees it through Ii
one would go where Wells is leading
he has no time for other things; the
long, long hours he spends in reading
until the village eurfew rings. II
Wells would take a brief vacation,
might get something useful done, re
gain my long lost reputation for in
dustry and triumphs won.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. I'll
One incidental contribution which the
amazing increase in our foreign trade
is making to our national life and
thought is that it is helping America
to know and understand the rest of
the world. With the greatest reluct-
ance. but nevertheless swiftly and in
evitably, America is growing out of
her traditional policy'of isolation. This
progress seems to be along the path
of destiny. In the attempt to cling to
the old order the people turned their
backs upon political association with
other nations, but nevertheless our as
sociation in fact with these nations
continually grows more intimate.
Ten years ago a man as great as
Clemenceau, coming as a visitor from
a foreign land, would have been only
a name to all but the erudite few who
followed international affairs. Today
the Clemenceaus, the Lloyd Georges
and the Venizeloses of the earth are
almost as we'll known to Americans as
our own statesmen. Political debate
even has become international. Glenn

have decreased through safety first campaigns !;
habits of thrift have put thousands of dollars in
the savings institutions which otherwise would
have been squandered
Caution in preventing fire hazards is some
thing all should exercise during the holiday sea-
son. State fire marshals and our fire chief have
given US some helpful suggestions and tips. A
Christmas tragedy in which person is badly
burned or loses his life will mar the holiday in
a most horrible manner.
The sudden change in weather has been re-
sponsible for many fires Ordinary judgment
and common sense should tell us that it is dam
gerous to overhead furnace or stove to provide
more warmth The practice may cause fire that
will destroy the home and perhaps spread to
others. Individual effort can prevent these mis-
haps.

MEMnER OF THE AssOCIATED PREss
Funds for Christmas Clearing Committee

Citizens of Richmond who have not responded
to the call of the clearing committee for funds
still have an opportunity to help in this worthy
enterprise which proposes to see that no needy
family lacks for cheer on Christmas day.
The distribution of Christmas gifts by the
committee will be conducted on well designed
plan, which will assure the presence of that re-
lief and cheer which is most needed by family.
If warm clothing is lacking it will be supplied
of fuel is crying need, the Christmas gift will
be coal: if food is a prime requisite foodstuffs
will be provided. Children will be the recipients
of toys and the other accessories of the holiday
The enterprise is worthy one, which invites
all of us to do our share. If some of us have for
gotten overlooked giving to this cause, the op-
portunity is still here. Gifts can be sent to the
chairman of the committee or to the two news
papers,.

Returning Home
haps.

Christmas is holiday that arouses love for
home and fireside in the hearts of all of US. On
that day the sons and daughters think of the old
home place, and thousands of them will travel
many miles in all sorts of weather to be able
to spend the holiday with the old folks.
The list of returning sons and daughters, and
other relatives who will be here over the holiday
indicates that this sentimental attachment to the
old home is drawing many back to this city.
Christmas truly is the day when parents and
children confirm in their hearts the deep senti-
ments of love and devotion. The spirit of good
will prevails then as on no other holiday of the
year If much of the family spirit has been dis
PEELED in our day, the desire to be at home, in
the family circle, surrounded by our loved ones
on Christmas still reigns in its old vigor.

ments; and so it goes. The world has
grown very small; we have become
merely the largest of a group of jost-
ling neighbors.
In this awakening there is no more
potent factor than our expanding trade
with other nations. The business man
is bound to come to understand his
market; he can not sell his product
intelligently unless he does. Nor is
foreign trade entirely a matter of mer-
chandise and bills Of lading Trade
also includes the investing of money.
Americans are now buying heavily of
the securities of the whole world.
When an individual investor in Shell
bina, Mo, is informed by his local
bank that the National City Bank of
New York recommends Sac Paulo
bonds as a good buy, the investor nat
urally wants to find out something
about the city of Sac Paulo And nat
urallYs he goes ahead and finds out
about it.
In this work of educating the Ameri-
can public as to economic conditions

Herein lies the value of the new
commodity divisions which the bureau
has established, directed as these are

they know the names and even the
telephone numbers of the manufac-

required to send in a general-condition
report answering 43 questions which
have been carefully formulated by eX-
perts as those necessary to bring out
the complete and pertinent economic
picture of nation or region. These
reports are digested and summarized
by the editorial staff of the magazine
in Washington. The first issue of
Commerce Reports for each month
gives the current economic survey of
Latin America; the second issue of
the month takes up Europe; the third,
the Far East; and the fourth, the Near
East. Thus once a month the entire
business world is examined for the
benefit of American business men.
This survey has an incidental but
very real value not directly connected
with our foreign trade. Many of these
nations thus surveyed are heavy debt
ors to the United States. 1t is highly
important that we keep watch of their
condition, just as a commercial cred
! i$or watches those to whom he extends
credit.

/ feature, the journal also contains each
week a large number of general articles
