It is from the wealth of the COM

1t is from the wealth of the COM
munity that the money for schools,
streets and public institutions is OBJ
tanned. Spending money at home
creates more wealth and adds more to
the amounts that go into local i'm
provements. Purchasing from local
merchants instead of patronizing dis
tant mail order houses is one of the
surest ways of providing adequate
schools for your own children and
making better place to live. Keep
ing money at home enables all the
residents of the community to enpoy
to the fullest degree, all the advan-
tages that money can procure.
Money sent away from home will
do for the town to which it is sent
just what you would wish for your
own town. Let no one deceive you
into believing that such is not the
case. Home loyalty is the corner

about the Santa Claus that comes
with reindeer and sleigh. It's lovely
make-believe story, just like when
you play school with little Ted"
Delicia's eyes were fixed on her
mothers in interested wonder.
"The real Santa Claus" smiled the
mother, els right in here" She placed
her hand on Delicia's humping little
heart. "It's the love you have for
other people. It's the thing that
makes you want to be kind and to
make others happy"
Mother paused impressively. This
is the big surprise. You and mother
and daddy and Aunt May, and all
children who are big enough, and all
the grown-ups are the Santa Clauses.
Instead of just one Santa Claus there
are millions. But you won't tell that
secret to little Ted, will you?"
"No," promised Delicia breathless-
ly, "no, / won't"
''You see," mother was careful %
explain. "Ted isn't big enough yet 20
understand. Well have to wait q year
or two before we tell him, and won't
he be surprised"
Delicia's eyes were twin blue stars.
"And now, you new young Santa
Claus get busy" ordered mother.
you'll have to help me with the
Christmas work. Just put your finger
on that string while l tie it."
And Delicia, almost bursting with
happy Importance, pressed her club
by finger on the gold cord.
The Santa Claus myth had been
explained without unhappiness or dis
.illusionment for Delicia. Something
worth while had been given to take
the myths place.

the jingle of a passing sleighbell or
the protesting snort of a motor try

Little eight-year-old Delicia paused

"oh mother dear, there isn't a San

there isn't, and last year Alice May
saw her mother and father trim the
tree"
For one panicky second Stancia

The Knocker

MIR. KNOCKER, where do you come
AZ in? You have great kicking pow
ers, but can you pull? You are strong
at the brake but did you ever stretch
the traces? You can raise objections,
but did you ever pull on anything
that meant progress? You can de-
fame and discourage the men who
are trying to do something, but what
single thing have you ever done to
help anything or anybody up and on?
You are wise, wonderfully wise.
You know exactly how everything
should be done. You have a mind that
takes hold - not to speak of tongue
that bites. One wonders why you have
been overlooked. Why don't you
take hold and do something, or, at
least join the crowd and help cheer
some fellow who is doing something?
Not you. Not on your life. You were
built for repose and advice. And yet
yours is the cheapest business in
the world. It is an easy role to play.
No one conducts so large a business
On so small a capital. But little of
you goes a long ways. Why don't
you quit criticizing and start in try
ing to help? Throw away your ham,
mer and get a hoe.

ducers To Discuss Prob
lens at Meeting

An all-day meeting will be held at
the Kennewick Highlands club house
on January 6, 1925, at which meet
ing it has been arranged to have a
number of specialists to discuss var
ious problems confronting the fruit

Mr.. Armstrong from Pullman will
discuss two very important subjects
which should be given much special
consideration. His first topic will COW
er non-profitable varieties and the
extent of planting of such varieties

extended effort has been made this
season to choose the suitable varie-
ties for the state of Washington,
and Mr.. Armstrong will have the
latest data.
Mr.. Newcomer will give two talks
along the lines of pest control. 1T
will be very interesting to find out
why the worms were so bad last year.
He will also discuss very thoroughly
oil sprays, for dormant use. Many of
You personally know Mr.. Newcomer
and know Of the invaluable work that

What Becomes of the Money we
Spend

0RCAu
Did you ever stop and think what
the money you spend today does for
someone else tomorrow? Money in
circulation is ever busy; it gives you
the necessities of life today and to-
morrow it is doing the same thing for
someone else. It grows, expands and
creates other wealth for the commun-
ity in which it circulates. Money in
q community attracts to it capital
from other places. Money kept at
home - spent at home - is never
active in our town, creating more
wealth, bringing in more business,
aiding in supporting civic institu-
tions and always making better,
happier and more prosperous COM
munity.
