Great Britain And
s'WaF Seeds
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE


The report of Secretary Hoover before
.he House Interstate and Foreign Com
cree Committee called out in some por.
ons of tie press of the country the ex.
"ession war Seeds"
referring to the monopoly of rubber by
at Britain, and other monOpolies of
imilar nature by other countries, he
-ged that artificial control cf prices of
"a things as rubber, coffee, camphor,
inc, nitrate, potash, mercury and so
j, were unwarranted and were causes
war.
The world, he said, has often enough
zen attempts to set up private mOnopol-
$, bot it is not until recently that we
ave seen governments revive a long for
.Jtten relic of mediaevalism and of war;
ne expediency by deliberately erecting
cial controls of trade in raw materials
which their nationals produce a major
rt of the worlds supply"
At the last analysis it will be found
t most 5wars originate from govern
onts' interfering with the natural laws
the business world.
Business left to itself and free from
reference regulates itself. AS water
ids It's level, so business IN various
arts of the world tends to equilibrium.
The law of supply and demand was
acted by nature long before any legis-
tive acts.
There may be some excuse for nations,
s they are a growth out of the past way
- governing mankind. But nature is
tent upon making the human race a
unit.
Business knows no boundaries. 1t is
health, art. learning and science. 1t
$ universal. And the aim of all govern
.nentt should be no longer to dominate
other territories, but to see that they be-.
come peaceful centres of trade.
If this is becoming a business word,
I'd it looks that way, all attempts to res
late business by politics are injurious
and opposed to the law of progress.

CHRISTMAS-NOT XMAS"

Saturday, December 25, 1926
Christmas day, is the day in which
practically all nations celebrate the
coming of the Savior of man. Christ
mas joy will be in the hearts of the
people and they will want to express
this joy to everybody they meet. How
will they express it? merry Christ
mas, or merry Xmas?
If you are in doubt, say Merry
Christmas, if you have been saying
Merry Xmas, change tiff you have
always said Merry Christmas, keep it
up.
The word "Xmas," very meaning
less term, is encroaching upon the
original word so much that if some
thing is not done the significance of
the occasion of Christmas will in the
future be lost sight of. "X" can
stand for anything. 1t is the alge-
braic sign for any unknown quantity
and, therefore, cannot be appropriate
ly used as substitute for Christ"
as he is not an unknown quantity.
It is known that nineteen hundred
twety-siX years ago, Christ was born
in Bethlehem and it is in celebration
of this event that the world has a
Christmas day. There is nothing un-
certain about that. The idea then of
SIX" taking the place of Christ" in
the word is absurd.
How or when it originated will
probably never be known. "X" is
much shorter and much easier to
write than Christ" and it is there
fore supposed that the basic reason
fer this substitution was the familiar
word "laziness." When one had
several hundred cards on which to
write Merry Christmas, it required
no persuasion to make the word
shorter, yet while little time was
saved the meaning of the word
gradually began to lose its former
dignity and meaning. Continued
practice of this has made Xmas"
very much used word at the pres
ent time.
Take Christ" out of the word
Christmas and nothing is left, no
matter what is substituted in place
of it. Xmas could just as we'll stand
for the birth of nation or practical
" anvthinp else
Think what the word Christmas
signifies, then take a little extra time
and write it out in full.

The Parent Teacher Association
met on Friday evening, December 10.
At former meeting there were but
three of those present who were par
ents with children in school. This de-
plorable state and as long as it con-
tinues little can be accomplished, re-
CARELESS of how devoted the officers
and teachers are to the cause.
The object of the Association is pri-
marily to bring the parents into clos
err touch and harmony with the school.
Are you, as parents, living up to your
obligations are are you merely obey
ing the law by sending your child to
school?
Parents and teachers everywhere
are beginning to realize that the aims
OF education can be acquired only thru
cooperation and in order to cooper
ate, parents will have to study the
local school, its needs, plans and its
methods. They need to know that
not only their moral but their active
support will be necessary.
On the other hand, the teachers
must know what the parents are
thinking and feeling about the meth
DDS of teaching, the course of study
and discipline. They must know some
thing of the child's home life. and.
lastly, they must have the good will"
of the community.
The Parent Association
IS distinctly not "ladies' aid" Faith
ers should know as much about what
and how his children are being taught
as the mothers. Money alone will not
pay the debt you owe your schools.
Criticism often comes from those
who never enter a school room, but
depend upon gossip for their informa-
ton; but first hand information is
best, therefore parents will, if really
interested, visit their schools.
! Not only parents, but all persons
interested in better schools and more
ideal conditions are requested to at
tend our next meeting.

there is Santa Claus and we love
him.

gained an audience one day last week
with the governor of Kansas, seeking
an interview on grave and mighty
