THE CHURCH CORNER
AAAoeAaaoooaAa4eeee4e.
The Christ Child

How marvellous it k. as years, decades and centuries go by, that as soon as the month of December com es. all over the world arises in the hearts of all those who have been taught or who have heard the story of the Christ Child the joyous, loving spirit of what We eognIze as the Spirit of Christmas.
 Very few of us need to have this spirit aroused in us. very few at this period of the worlds history need to be told the story, The great majority of us just naturally react at this time and give ourselves up Co the prompt ings of kindness and good cheer.
 This k q marvellous and beautiful fact. but there is another side to the story which I think we would do well Co consider and reetify. t is this:
 Why do we the moment Christmas Is over. the moment New Years Day Is past, deliberately put all the joy ousness, the generosity, the tender loving feelings behind Us and take up life again in the sordid, money get ting. money spending way iu which most of us spend most of our lives? Why not let us this year carry our spirit of Christmas, the loving, gener- ous, compassionate spirit of the Christ Child right along with us dur ing the next twelve months? Not necessarily to continue the exchange of material gifts, that is the very smallest and least important part of Christmas. but let Us continue to give out the spirit of happiness. the cheery greeting, the thought for others, the kind words. the feeling that all men and women in the world are sharers with us, partners as 1t were. in this most stupendous gift to mankind. Let Us pray the Christ Child to remain and dwell within our hearts this com ing year.

TRADEiN PUTNAM
Dependable Merchandise Offered By
 Reliable Stores

The Come Back Days sponsored by ths Putnam Chamber of Commerce nee being followed up by . Trade in Putnam Campaign The idea is to convince people that there Is no better place to trade than in their home city where dependable mer- caandI-e can be bought and wherg any aissH faction Will be rectitied.
 There are many features to further inc purpose of the committee lH its campaign that could be promulgated if there was plenty of money Co woee Wltn.
 The merchants were liberal in re- paus to the solicitation for tua5s WIlh which Co wage the campaign bu- oa account of past conditions nat as much money is In hand as otherwise mieh. be.
 That many thousands of dollars are spent by people of this community in other cities is no secret Why thts Is so and what Co do Co overcome lt Is the problem which eonfrouts tne mcr= chants There is no reason for it. Putnam offers merchandise ln as wide a variety as do the stores of other cities Some people think that they can save money at some Of the sales of the big city stores but if they com pare their purchases with those that they can make in Putnam they will be surprised. possibly. to find that they have bought a second at some sale at a city store for only a few cents less than they could have bought the same perfect article at home.
 There are many tricks in merchan- dising and in every large city there are stores that work one trick after another that lead the gullible to believe that he k getting a first class article cheaper than the market value of such an article Any Putnam store keeper can give concrete illus trations of such instances where e GUS toner has proudly exhibited "bar- gam" from an out-of-town store only to be convinced that in reality he has been trieked
 Very few people figure the cost in tune spent. express charges, and then. when the time comes, as it sure ly does sooner or later, that the ar icle purchased is unsatisfactory. they can get no adjustment, They are transients in the out-of-town store. the storekeeper does not know them and has no interest in their welfare. ln the hometown store the merchant depends upon giving satisfaction for holding his customers. He sees that they are satisfied even fl he has to make q sacrifice himself.
 The Trade in Putnam Campaign is a campaign of education along this line. People may read the advertise ments in the local paper each week Co their advantage.
 The committee would appreciate it fl any person having bills due them for Come Back Day services would send them To the secretary at once.

 The severe cut in the citizens mill tary training camps recommended by 3he budget bureau Is not justified. Forty thousand young men are expect ed at the camps this year. The budget allowance of s2.32O,o00 will provide Tor only 2900e men.
 In 1921 about 10000 young Ameri- cans went to these camps, in 1922 there were 2.000; m 1923 there were 250gO. and in 1924 about 3d.000 men. Next year at least 10000 should be provided for The cut 10 29.000 men

 he citizens military training camps have values much greater than the ed ucation in military technique which their name suggests They are train Ing schools ot citizenship and social discipline This fact should be con sidered in appuriioning the budget.

 Do Not Use Cosmetics

 At a grand opening of one of the leading dressmakers in Paris re- gently, out of nearly 200 women, only three by actual count, had not undergone the beautifying process of rouge, lipstick or crayoned brows.
 Some had worked with tho bold brush, bright colors and wide strokes of the Rubens school. Others in the more moderate tones of the French school. while few had made mere timid attempts, and traces of paint and pencil were just visible. But the majority glowed with the colors Of youth.

 Is Blamed on Women

 Adults of all classes and ages, especially girls and women. are more and more dropping dialect and try ing to talk fine'," he said. Boys and girls, instead of being ashamed of dialect, using the forceful and ex- pressive if somewhat rugged speeches of their fathers. should be proud to present 1t as dual tongue with the standard of English"

MUSHY CALLAHAN WILL
 CHALLENGE EASTERNERS
Speedy Lightweight from Pacific Coast is After Added
 Laurels.

New York, Dec. 26 R)-Eastern supremacy In professional pugilism, already weakened to a considerable degree by tho recent title triumphs of Fidel Labarba in the flyweight division. and Tod Morgan in the junior lightweight class, is soon to be subjected to new California challenge from the padded knuckles of Mushy Callahan.
 The fast-stepping Pacific coast lightweight, who is expected here early in February. has been preced- cd by so many favorable reports of his skill that Promoter Tex Rickard is prepared to give him a champion ship opportunity against the new titleholder, Rocky Kansas. He an- nounced yesterday that Kansas has already agreed to a title match, and if Callahan's tour east brings him further tlstic triumphs, he stands an excellent chance Of drawing the challenge role.
 California, within whose borders Jack Dempsey also makes his home. requires only one additional title triumph to take equal rank with the east. With five champions, Paul Ber- lenbach, light heavyweight, Harry Greb, middleweight; Mickey Walker welterweight: Rocky Kansas, light weight, and Louis (KiD Kaplan. featherweight, the states of the At lantic seaboard still retain a com manding position, however.

International Treaty Now Is
 Being Planned

Washington, Dec. 26 R-Another liquor treaty joining Cuba and the United States in an effort to guard this country's prohibition dykes against leakage from the island, is in prospect,
 A southern port inspection trip begun by Assistant Secretary An drcws of the treasury, prohibition enforcement chief, and Assistant Solicitor Valance of the state de- partment, will take them to Ha- yana where 1t is expected they will be able to lay the ground work for the treaty. It would be similar 10 those recently completed by this country with Mexico and Canada.
 With the northern and south western borders materially rein forced by means of the treaties, en- forcement officials regards the gulf and southeastern coastal regions as next requiring special attention. They desire an agreement with the island republic which would give the United States amplined powers in the area between Cuba and tho Florida Keys, favorite haunt Of smugglers since early pirate days.
 Mir. Valance and General An drcws, who played prominent parts in negotiating the Mexican and Ca nadian treaties, likely will discuss the prospective Cuban agreement with American Ambassador Crowder at Havana as well as with Cuban authorities. Smuggling of merchant disc and aliens as well as liquor is 10 be investigated by the two off, Cials.
