NO MORE CHRISTMAS CARDS
Woman Has Made Up Her Mind to
Make Real Gifts to Friends at
Next Holiday ssason.


"Next Chris.mas-" started Mrs.
"Yeh, know" interrupted Mr..
''Next Christmas placidly pursued
Mrs, Il shall give all gifts and no
cards at all"
"Huh." grunted Mr.. "Whatd y
want to do-bankrupt us?"
Not at ALL" replied his wife. Il
won't spend cent more than l spent
this year. But I've sworn of cards.
They don't mean anything any longer.
Business firms and banks send them
out. They're us common as files In
summer. I'm going to send all gifts,
and I'm sure every one will be better
pleased all around"
but just how" inquired Mr., "just
how are you going to do this with no
extra money!"
Easy she answered. "Oh, they'll
be humble gifts. Of course! But the
elaborate cards they get out nowadays
cost as much as small gifts. Our cards
cost 80 cents apiece and we bought 20.
Now, why not 40-cent presents in
stead? They carry twice as much
sentiment. All our friends will think
better of us and we save money"
'Huh.' said Mr., returning to his
paper.

A MANS JOB

A mans job is his best friend. 1t
clothes and feeds his wife and chill
dren. pays the rent, and supplies them
with the wherewithal to develop and
become cultivated. The least a man
can do in return is to love his Job. A
mans job is grateful. II is like a
little garden that thrives on love. 1t
will one day flower into fruit worth
while for him and his to enjoy. If
you ask any successful man the rea.
son for his making good, he will tell
you that first and foremost it is be-
cause he likes his work-indeed he
loves it. His whole heart and soul
are wrapped up in it. His whole ply
sical and mental energies are focused
on it. He walks his work. he talks
his work; and that is the way every
man worth his salt ought to be II he
wants to make his work what it
should be and make himself what he
wants to be.-Senator Capper.

NEW STATE ADDED TO UNION
interesting Fact. Unknown to Many,
Was Brought Out by Recent Re-
clamation Report.

1t has been foynd possible to add
state to the Unicn without Increasing
the number OF commonwealths. The
answer to this enigmatlcal statement Is
found In the annual report of the rec
lamation service, declares the Pitts
burgh Gazette-Times. In the twenty
years of Its existence 1t has made
1,675,OOO acres to blossom and produce,
where up to the time the service was
inaugurated the land grew only sage
brush and was inhabited only by the
jack rabbits, the coyote. the prairie
dog and the rattlesnake. Where there
was desert now there are nearly 32,OOO
farms. The crops produced last year
on reclaimed areas were Of value OF
nearly $lO0.0O0O0O. From an agricul-
tural standpoint state, measured by
productiveness, has been added equal
to that of West Virginia or the COM
bined values of the crops Of Vermont
and Connecticut. 1t is significant, too,
that the value of the crops grown ON
irrigated land averaged S4S.25 an acre,
against $l4.52 an acre for the ten lead
Ing crops on non-lrrigated land In the
United States. This but recounts the
achievements of the reclamation serv-
Ice and does not include projects un-
der private enterprise.
While 1t is true that the enterprises
which have been carried out were the
most feasible, probably, by no means
have the possible projects for reclama-
ton through irrigation been exhausted.
