Holy Niuht

The painters name was Antonio
Correggio. He was born in the year
1494 at Correggio, Italy. He died in
1884. He studied in Italy under Costa
Francia. He is considered one of the
greatest artists. He has painted
other Madonna pictures.
The people in the picture are: Vir-
gin Mary, The Child Jesus ST. Joseph
the angels and the shepherds.
The picture is wonderful picture
because of the wonderful light. It can
be seen plainly after the sun has be-
gun to set The light is so strong
that it affects the shepherdess's eyes
but not Mary because she is holy.
The contrasts of strength and gen
tleness in the picture are the shep-
herd and Virgin Mary.
The wheat and the dove have a
meaning; The wheat is called the
staff Of life and the dove peace, love,

A Christmas Story

Once upon time there was an old
man and lady whose custom it was
to have a Christmas tree and decor
ate it as the other people did. If you
would go into their house you would
find it very pleasant. They had no
children to help them celebrate on
Christmas so they would ask all of
the neighbor children in. They would
eat candy, popcorn and nuts together
The old man would tell the children

The Spirit Of Christmas

There are many people who have
not the Spirit of Christmas. They do
not know the meaning of Christmas
nor the wonderful thing that hap
pened on Christmas Day They do
not know whose birthday they are
celebrating on Christmas. Many bust
ness men by decorating their win
dows with holly will receive more
trade, but that is all. They do not
have the Spirit of Christmas as they
should.
But not all people are like this.
Many are kind and loving and unset
fish. Here they give presents and
good things to eat to the poor.

First, it would tax wealth, not the
income. That is only child's play.
1t would take a piece out of every
fortune above SIS, 900. The bigger the
fortune, the bigger the piece taken.
Small fortunes would lose 4 per cent
Of principal, big fortunes so per cent
Two or three men in America would
lose in one lump hundreds of millions
if we had that here. The capital tax
will be taken gradually to avoid des-
troying values by forced sales. That
is something for our big men to think
about, prayerfully

La. Toilette says, There is little in
the Coolidge message to satisfy the
mass of American people, and that is
Mr.. Coolidge's intention to leave well
enough alone. La Hire, fighting the
bear, prayed the Lord, Il don't ask
you to help La Hire, only ask you
not to help the bear"
Many Americans will be quite con-
tent if nothing happens to interfere
with their present condition, and Mr.
Coolidge represents that policy of
non-interference.

Whether the experiment would
work well no man can say. The no.
mad Tartars, driving cattle with them
cut pieces off the living animals as
they went along. That was a capital
AK on the animal, but not good for
cattle in the long run.
If labor came to power it would
avoid many things that it now plans

President Coolidge has released
with unconditional pardons, all the re-
naming thirty political war prisoners
That's common sense, although it will
annoy certain national security
gentlemen who have found patriotism
great help in graft and profiteering.
The men released by the President
were, some Of them, fools; others
were unbalanced mentally; others
were men of character and courage.

All other nations have released such
prisoners.

Lean Year for Railroads.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)


 With the filing of November reports with the Interstate Commerce Commission very close approXi nation to the years net income of the railroads of the United is possible. For II months of 1922 net operating income, officially reported, has been about $693 GOO 900. Estimating December to show well November, the whole year should yield the railroads about $775 50000 900 net. This will be 42 per cent the commissions valuation, less than per the actual investment, and almost 2 per cent. less than the fair percentage named in /the transportation act.
 This is great disappointment to the railroad executives and greater the stockholders, who the owners of the roads. The year opened with every promise of better business and ade- quate earnings Before six months had passed the situation changed, and hopes blasted The crafts which largely offset the cuts which led to the strike the costly curtailment of coal traffic the in crease of the cost of supplies the Arrangement of general business due labor troubles, all contributed in their 10 cut down the net income.
 It is plain that the return investors in railroad securities is not large enough encourage new ven lures of capital which is much needed to put the roads on an adequate earning basis Something must happen to increase earnings reduce operating penses There radicals Congress who would accomplish the desired increase of the percentage turn by cutting the valuation made by the comms- sion That valuation made under a resolution driven through Congress years by Senator LaFolete un- questionaby is low enough. It does include all of actual investment as it stands
 Congress should cease to despoil the railroads and to do something to rehabltate them or at least give them fair chance to rehabtate themselves There is not radical in Congress, or a Congress- man of that or any other political tint or texture who would be satisfied with the income from his business to which the railroads have been subjected Neither would he tolerate the interference with his have been subjected such crippling of It, without roar of protest.

FIERY, ITCHY SKIN QUICKLY SOOTHED
 WITH SULPHUR

Mentho-Sulphur, pleasant cream, will soothe and heal skin that is ir. ritated or broken out with eczema that is covered with ugly rash or pimples, or is rough or dry. Nothing subdues fiery skin eruptions so quickly, says a noted skin specialist.
 The moment this sulphur prepara- tion is applied the itching stops and after two or three applications, the eczema is gone and the skin is de- lightfully clear and smooth. Sulphur is so precious as a skin remedy be- cause it destroys the parasites that cause the burning, itching or dis figurement. Mentho-SuIrhp always heals e5s-as r1ght up.

DOCTORS KICK MAKES CHANGES
 IN ONE CUSTOM

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 2.-Just a quarter Of a century ago, the late Dr. T A. Rottanzi, a supervisor of San Francisco, stormed the box office of the old Baldwin Theatre here, de- stroyed by fire in 1928, and demand ed his money back because the Lady Gansborough" hats worn by the women in the audience prevented him from seeing the late Richard Mansfield in "A Parisian Romance. D
 pr. Rottanzi refused to be paei- fled by Alfred Bouvier, then man. aeer of the Baldwin, and Ralph Pin GUS, then with the Baldwin and Co lnmbia theatres and now manager of the Columbia Theatre here.
 "It5 an outrage" stormed the .irate supervisor. "The public cannot be made to pay for something it can not sec. I'll have law passed mak- ing women remove their hats in theatresl"
 But the theatreeoers and the press ridiculed Dr. Bottanzi saying that women had always worn their hats in theatres and always would. When the physicians ordinance was intro duced. it brought down storm of protest, and after the ordinance was passed prohibiting women from wearing hats in public places" it was unanimously stated that women would never submit to the hum iliation.
 At the initial first night per formance at the old Baldwin, after Dr. Rottanis ordinance became a law, the audience formed a regular fashion show of hats" said Ralph Pincus in commenting on the guar ter-century custom. 'Milliners con fidently predicted that the law would be made a joke, insofar as obedience was concerned.
 "The theatre was packed and the tall ostrich plumes waved like a for est of trees in the audience, shutting out the stage from the view of mere males The women sat in defiant attitude. and just before the cur tain went up, one woman removed her hat. There was a grasp of as- tonishment in the theatre, and in a few seconds the ether women follow cd suit.
 This was the start of a custom that has now become universal.

 Not only will pulp and paper mill require large pay roll the mill, but it will result in extensive logging operations in the forests and activity for tug boats and others engaged in transportation.
 In addition to this assured enterprise there is couragment in the fact that fish products con santly increasing in price and the indications that there will be larger profits and more people engaged In that industry next year than for several years past
 Altogether the outlook for this section is that should cause rejoicing among those who live here.

A POLITICAL STRAW.

That the tide against the National Administrator has ebbed in New York was indicated Tuesday when the 18th New York district, normal Repub- lican stronghold elected Sol Bloom Democrat to Congress former Congressman Walter NJ Chandler, Republican. The district was carried by Samuel Marx the Democratic nominee in the election last fa but it admitted that the result was due in part at least to the fact that the popularity Of Gov. Al Smih who headed the Democratic ticket aided materially. New York papers announced that the special election would be indicative of the trend of the public mind in it's attitude toward the Admin istraton because the issues of the campaign were wholly National in character
 The lesson Of the election was emphasized by the iact that there independent candidate in the Ield running on anu-Ku Klux platform who wa expected to draw votes away from the Democrat be- oause of the effect it believed his platform would have on the Irish and Jewish voters who in New York usually support Democratic candidates
