There has been neither unemploy-

mates, ''if each person in the United

production estimate: Milk $3.50, but

United States would require 40 million
acres more than cultivated in 1888"
CuriOusly our government giving

practically 40 million acres.
The single tax system will rid the
country of taxes which promote fraud,

CHRISTMAS

The best Christmas editorial ever
written is in the Bible. 1t tells in
beautiful simplicity, a changeless
story. There is the star moving
across the heavens and fixing itself
finally as a diadem above a Bethle-
hem stable. There are the wise men
of the East, first of hundreds of mil
lions to bend before the power and
beauty of the Christian ideal. There
is, in fact, for the Christian, the most
beautiful, the most significant and
the most necessary story of all his
tory.
Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward
men. These words mean much and

Merry Christmas!

Time flies swiftly, and today we find ourselves on
the threshold of another Christmas season. Already
the atmosphere is charged with that unmistakable
spirit of good will toward men," The mellowing of
hearts that have known their burdens in the months
past and gone is but advance herald OF the
glad event but little way ahead
Through snow and storm and drouth and parchng
temperatures, well through skies that have not
been without their sunshine, again to the
season when all human worries are forgotten in one
universal song of rejoicing, in worldwide chorus
of peace earth" With the rejoicing comes the
age-old custom of extending greetings and good
wishes. And here pause to carry out, in the hap
piest spirit know, part of that joyful old
tom.
Christmas finds some cause for happiness in every
heart regardless of how long that heart has suffered
1t is the one of the year when mankind finds
chldlike simplicity in the belief that the peace he
feels in his heart must rest upon the world at
large, and that surely it must forever prevail Christ
mas brings new birth of Hope, and upon Hope alone
is future, and the future of the whole world
founded.
We extend to everyone our heartiest wishes for a
full measure of Hope and Faith, the greatest of all
blessings. We trust their share of the substantial
things of life-health and comfort-will be a. gen.
erous share Whatever their hearts crave may they
receive. We wish for you and yours the power to
forget at this Christmas all things that may
have carried cloud into your lives during the year
now fast drawing to a close We wish for you the
power to forever remember the happiness past months
have brought you. We wish for you year ahead
unmarked by single cloud-a year of prosperity
of comfort and contentment May this Christmas
bring you every blessing to which the human heart is
rightfu heir, and may those blessings be abundant
enough to keep you, and those about you, happy
throughout all the years to come.
