church for possession of such men
and women"
Bishop Freeman said the man or
woman who does not recognize serv-
ice obligations has no right to the
protection of our flag. There must be
true unity, he said, but this can be
so only through true service. The
man who pledges allegiance to the
flag. he said, also pledges allegiance
to the church and God. There is no
north and south, no imaginary
Mason-Dixon line, no east and west
he said, and there is no need to place
fresh emphasis on the unity of the
nation-we propose to MAINTAIN the
states absolutely as unit, and to
have all witness our loyalty and
service
Unity Not to BE Disturbed.
The full force of America will have
to be reckoned with when any one
attempts to disturb the unity repre-
sented by this flag, he said. That
America is essentially and funda
mentally Christian was also pointed
out by the bishop. who said there is
among the churches He said he be-
lieved God had designed the medium
of the air in radio to stress the unity
Of mankind and to emphasize to the
world the transcendency of spiritual
things. This new discovery, the
bishop said, he believed to be the
means of gathering together man
kind to make them realize the su-
premacy of Jesus Christ. Stability
of faith not blown about by every
wind of doctrine is the great need of
the age he said.
The services were brought to a
close when the Bishop of Washing
ton and officiating clergy reached
salem place" and the peace cross,
where prayer was said. followed by
the playing of the "Sevenfold Amen

FARMERS AID BILL
PASSAGE is URGED
House and Senate Asked to Push
Action on McNary-Haugen
Relief Measure.

Members of the House and Senate
today received letter signed by
officers of a number of national farm
organizations urging enactment of
the McNary- Haugen farm relief bill
ito save agriculture from impending
ruin"
The letter said consideration of any
other agriculture aid bill would be
futile. Officers of the National
Grange, National Live stock Pro
ducers' Association and of farm bu-
reau federations in Iowa, Minnesota
and Indiana were among the signers.
"Thc sole and solitary purpose of
the McNary-Haugen bill the letter
said lis to give the farmer as Dig
q dollar for the products of his toll
during the next five years as ne Is
forced to pay to industry under the
rdney-McCumber act and to labor
under the existing generous wage
scales.
Struggling For Existence.
For four long. weary months TINS
mea sIlre has stood the fire OF the OPP
position before the House and senate
and during this time we
have sought to cure every fair and
valid objection made against it's
various provisions. Therefore, we nave
a firm conviction that the measure as
its now stands is legally sound, pract-
cal and workable.
In the meantime let ConGresS ana
the whole country understand that the
day of soft-soaping agriculture is past
that in this hour. when the average
farmer is struggling for his very exist
ence. it would be an insult to ofer MN
n mere legislative nostrum that does
NOT honestly and fairly seek to relieve
him of the tremendous handicap under
which he is laboring.' In all kindness,
but nevertheless with profound hrm-
ness, we therefore say, give us the
bill. agriculture, is
unable to accept a substitute.

 Appreciation of Birmingham's de- velopment. coupled with faith in the future growth of the city, furnished the inspirat tion to Mir. McCowan to under take the task of giving local persons a store that is admittedly one of the most handsome shoe establishments in the south.
 The McCowan's WalkOver shop carries the famous Walk-Over shoes and the Brooklyn line of high grade shoe novelties. A new feature of the store is the large hosiery department displayed in attractive show cases that permit continuous exhibition of the stock, enabling quicker selections and sales.

it. She had found it over her when
she woke up.
Mrs. Perkins had just finished tell
ing this and several other incidents to
the Ladies' Aid society, when one of
the progressive ladies asked:
"Well, what are we to do with him
for Christmas? 1t doesn't seem right
not to do anything, when he is away
from his people and ALL"
Everyone else had been thinking the
same thing, but had not dared men
ton it, and none of them had any
suggestions to make. No one dared
ask him to dinner (they were so shy),
and Mrs. Perkins herself, who really
should have asked him, had decided
to go to the hotel so as not to have
to do so. They certainly could not
give him ties or socks, as Mrs. Per
kins assured them that he had hun
dreds of socks and thousands of ties,
which everyone readily believed, as
they had never seen him dressed twice
the same.
1t certainly looked like a cold Christ
mas for Billy. But next door to Mrs.
Perkins lived dear old maid who
had been housekeeper for the Wellers
for many years. Every Christmas she
made mittens for all the children in
the neighborhood, and when they grew
too big for mittens, she gave candy
to the girls and neckties to the boys.
She was a community institution. but
nobody ever thought Of her in connec-
ton with Billy.
But when Christmas morning ar
rived and Center street was busy with
its toys, Billy had not been forgotten.
The Perkins children were just open
ing their packages from the house
keeper next door when one of them
discovered an envelope for Billy. He
darted upstairs, and timidly knocked
on the actors door and slipped the
envelope under.
"What could it be?" wondered Mrs
Perkins, for she knew 1t was no
Christmas card.
She had not long to wonder, how
ever, for Billy soon came running
down flourishing a crisp new dollar
bill which he had found in the enve-
lone. and called to one OF the children

Christmas Town

ia ERE is your ticket to Christmas
IL town, see that you catch the
~ train;
Going or coming, you'll wear a crown,
sunshine, shadow or rain:
To Christmas town, to Christmas
town,
It's a penny or two-and then
Something inside of you turns right
back
To the childhood time again.
Masters and IMAGES and all do 60,
thinkers and dreamers tall;
Women with aprons and women in
silk and women with plaided
shawl:
To Christmas town, to Christmas
town,
No matter how old or young;
Everyone speaks the same language
there,
The talk of the golden tongue.
Windows that glow in a marvellous
way and shops along the
streets
That simmer and shine with trinkets
and toys and most memorial
sweets:
To Christmas town, to Christmas
town,
Hop on the next train, do,
And see what a wonderful, sunny
crown
The journey will bring to you.

Moon and Ice Honored
as Christmas Guests

- HEY planned to have moon
W light skating party during the
Christmas season. All Of the young
people, and a number of the hearty
older ones, too, had been interested.
So the party was planned.
And then everyone hoped the two
honored guests would not fail them.
For without the two honored guests
there could be no moonlight skating
party.
What would moonlight skating
party be without moon and with
out ice?
Nothing at all.
But the moon came and the Ice
froze solid. And the crisp, clear air
seemed to have special Christmas
vim about it, too. Mary Graham

holiday season that corresponds to the

the celebration in honor of the founder

Gautama Buddha, lord of grace and
infinite compassion A great deal of
attention at the season is given to the
youth of the Buddhist land. 1t comes
in April. Buddha was born 568 years

Christmas Tree Worth
More Than Small Cost
~ RE we justified in sacrificing some

~ RE we justified In sacrificing some
[A five million trees for the annual
Christmas festival7
There has been much discussion In
the past few years over this question
Of Christmas trees, In view Of the
rapid depletion of our forests and the
increase in the waste land area.
There are those who stoutly contend
that it Is foolish custom Of pagan
origin. not worthy of perpetuation in
this enlightened Christian age, and
that 1t is senseiess destruction If
millions of young, thrifty trees that
are so much needed to supply the tim
Der requirements of the country.
But strangely enough, the foresters
as class, those who are most inter-
ested In conserving tree growth, do
not share this concern about the
Christmas tree. They are interested
In growing trees and having them used
for their highest good. If ten-year-
old tree, of which 1000 or more can
be grown upon single acre, can give
SO much joy, what better use can be
made Of the trees7
The custom Is so well established
that 1t will never be wholly discarded,
and why should 1t be7 Is 1t not the
Christmas tree that gives the setting
for the celebration? What Is more de-
lightful TO children than the Christ
mas tree with its candles or electric
lights, silver trimmings, tinsel and the
other things that go with it? Take
away the Christmas tree and you have
removed the chief charm. 1t is the
something that Is eloquent of senti-
ment and that has much higher
value than the cost Of the tree. 1t is
not to be measured by economic con-
siderations or commercial cOmputa-
tions.-Frank Herbert Sweet.
