is gratefully acknowledged. More
than forty baskets were packed
and distributed, and the Woman's
club wish to thank all who had a
part in the work.
TOYS were collected before
Christmas, and the All girls as
sisted in dressing dolls, etc. The
Bow Scouts were always ready to
do errands, and gathered up a
number of boxes of clothing and
TOYS. The Lions club provided
treats of candy and nuts for all
of the boxes. The South school and

same neighborhood manufactured
TOYS. Amos Shrader donated S5.25

ROOSEVELT NOT
FOR SALES A

President-elect Roosevelt is Wig
orously opposed to passage OF a
general manufacturers sales tax
by congress-, it was revealed re
Gently.
The governor was silent on the
subject but close advisers repre-
scented him as feeling "horr1fled
to read that he was reported as in
dorsing such a program for bal
ancing the federal budget.
His views, it was understood,
have been communicated to dem
ocratic congressional leaders at
washington, where the sales tax
issue has been revived in revenue
discussions on Capitol hill.
Roosevelt is of the opinion that
2. general manufacturers sales tax
would place too heavy a burden
upon the consumer.
Inst what program for budget
balancing the governor may have
in mind was not made known. 1t
was believed here, however, nat
the matter would be taken up in
greater detail within the next week
or ten days when Speaker arner
arrives at Hyde Park for a visit.
Garner For 1t
President-elect R%oosevelt's oppo-
sition to the manufacturers sales
tax will kill any attempt in con-
gress to revive it, Speaker OF the
House John N. Garner said when
advised of Roosevelt's position.
Garner said personally he still
favored the sales tax if such a
measure is necessary to balance
the budget.
Roosevelt's opposition to the
sales tax served to check a move
ment to revive it with which both
Garner and Chairman James w.
Collier Of the house ways and
means committee indicated sym
pathy.

PERSONAL THOUGHTS
ON MERRY CHRISTMAS

Last week the editor expressed,
in the Gears" or boxes, at either
end of The Herald's title head, cur
iosity about his readers ideas of
what things yer most essential
to the happiest or merriest sort of
a Christmas, and invited replies.
Not many replies were received.
1t was expected that quite a few
high school students would inn
prove the chance to exercise their
English and air their pet Christ
mas hobbies. Evidently mid-winter
holidays offer too much else TO
occupy vacation. Then of course,
not all of us care to tell about all
the things we like best on Christ
mas-ktangeovers perhaps, from
childhood's first impressions.
But the mature ideas of grown
ups on the essentials of happy, fit
ting ways to spend Christmas are
quite as interesting. Two replies
that are typical are given below.
One from the country, one from
town. Both are good. Picking the
best among such letters is not at
all easy and the editor has reached
no decision.
My Idea
My idea of a happy Christmas
is to have harmony and love be-
tween those present; loving greet
ings from absent ones, a clean
warm home, sufficient food; and
to share these blessings with some
one not so fortunate.
Mrs. Walter Chapman.
What Makes Christmas Merry
AS Christmas is the celebration
of the Birth of Christ, I think that
should be uppermost in the minds
of all.
1 think just to be with my fam
lily and to have health and happi-
ness, to have a Christmas tree and
see the children's happiness over
it and over their gifts
has a big meaning.
Also go to church and worship
on Christmas morning: hear a good
and be among the many
who sing Christmas Carols.
In the afternoon to listen to DR.
Poling's inspiring words over the
NBC on the radio.
To be able to give some gifts to
others, especially some n who
might be needy.
This is my idea of what make
Christmas Merry.
Marie Erickson.

ALL FARMS GET
MORATORIUM

The White House hastened to-
day to reassure farmers who had
undertaken seed loans for other
crops than wheat that they would
come under the terms of the
moratorium announced yesterday
wherever conditions measure up
to the wheat situation"
To enable wheat farmers, par
ticularly in the Dakotas and Mon
tana, to market this years crop,
the Department of Agriculture
announced that upon payment
of Is per cent of outstanding
crop production loans and the
signing of an agreement for the
remaining IS per cent, no effort
would be made to collect further
payments until after Congress
had had an opportunity to adjust
the matter.
Protests promptly were forth
coming from raisers of cotton, to-
bacco, and grains other than
wheat against what they felt was
discrimination.

the BRAND kellogg peace pact"
Herriot said Europe has not
realized sufficiently the import
ance of Secretary of State Slim

means of mutual consultation.
He declared:
"The best American minds
are actively considering the i'm
possibility of remaining neutral
in the face of the horrible

ropes balance of power" by uni
