Hello Folks:
By the time you read this you
will be in the midst of one of our
greatest joys-wrapping and I'M
wrapping the various Christmas
presents and getting ready the
usual profuse notes of thanks such
as, ooh, dearest, it was lovely; just
what / wanted" And then after
Christmas begin the delightful trips
down to the stores to exchange
"just what l wanted" for some
thing in your right size or maybe
something entirely different. Who
cares? No one, for everybody is
happy, yes, happy, until the bills
come in. But who's bothering about
bills these days anyway. Santa
Claus doesn't expect prompt pay
ment. And speaking of that dear
old soul, we have the new song of
the week: 81 Want Santa Claus to
Bring Me You"
Saturday afternoon on Nicollet
was exciting to degree. We met
everyone we knew and the pigeons
were so tame that people could
hardly walk along without stepping
on them. One girl was picked out
by certain pigeon who landed on
her hat and wouldn't get off. Every
one nearly died laughing and she
was almost overcome with embar-
rassment until a swell looking Babe
Ruth guy came to her assistance.
He soon persuaded the pigeon that
it was not a good place to roost
and then the girl was herself again.
The last we saw she was being
escorted up the street by her pigeon
hero and who knows, she may be
blessing pigeons in her prayers by
now.

Local Girls Spurn Fete Crown

Organizers Of Evesham Hospital

They advertised the vacant throne.
They obtained unprejudiced judges

secret. Everything in the carnival
garden was lovely. But not one

The Sons OF 10
Dined on "Point"

Up to a few years ago in Ireland,
very poor families often "dined on
potatoes and point" for months at
a time. Having no other food than
potatoes, says Golfers Weekly, they
added an imaginary favor to each
mouthful by pointing the food at q
bottle in the center of the table
which contained preserved bit of
bacon, fish, cheese or salt.

First Property Rights
Acquired by Colonists

Discussing some origins Of prop
erty rights, the Journal of the Amer
lean Institute of Real Estate APP
praisers cites the fact that the first
property rights in this country were
acquired by the colonists by virtue
of royal charters, occupation or pur-
chase from the Indians. The lands
usually consisted Of large tracts and
the title was deemed to vest in the
inhabitants, in the commoners,
in the original proprietors, and, usu-
ally, in theory, in the king Of Eng
land, under whom they held title.
1.-The time came" explains the
journal, when it was deemed adj
visable to divide the lands among
individuals, and many were the dis
putes in proprietor meetings or In
town meetings between proprietors,
inhabitants and commoners In re-
spect to the division. Sometimes
the proprietors claimed ownership
for themselves to the exclusion of
the other inhabitants Of the commu-
nifty and held proprietor meetings,
as distinguished from town meet
ings, and made the division among
themselves.
Sometimes the distinction be-
tween proprietor meetings and town
meetings had been lost, and often
times the right to share in the diVi-
sion, in so far as inhabitants who
were not proprietors were con-
cerned, rested upon which had a
majority-physical or otherwise.
Sometimes the division was made
by number, each getting an equal
share; sometimes it depended upon
the amount Of taxes which a per-
son paid, the larger taxpayer re-
ceiving the larger quantity Of land.
Sometimes the division was
made by the meeting. but frequent.
ly by a committee selected to make
a survey and to lay out the land. In
any event, the lands allotted were
usually large farms, with a share
of pasture land, wood lot, land for
cultivation, a house lot, and often
an undivided share in the COM
mons"
The Sons Of 10
In the middle Of the last century
the organization known as the Sons
Of '76 was one of a number of secret
societies which was merged In the
Know-Nothing order or party along
with the Order Of American Me-
chanics, American Protestant asso-
citation, Order Of the Sons of Amer
lea and other similar orders. Its
decided characteristics were nativ-
ism. When asked as to the objects
of this society members replied 81

the name Know Nothings.

J. R. B.: Some time ago my wife
became dissatisfied with me and
left. What should l do to get her
back q? l admit that l did wrong and
am so sorry about the whole thing.
Ans: Why don't you write to her
:. or even see her in person. She
does love you but is not the type
person that can be satisfied long at
a time in one place. Your wife is
going to return to you at some
future date.

]. d. H.: Should leave this
place that am now in? Will get
any money from my property? Tell
me what to do.
Ans: l believe the best thing for
you to do is go HOME, for you
could live very comfortably there.
No :. you aren't going to receive
anything from property during the
next year. Make a few friends
for you are living entirely too
much to yourself.
H. W.: Will l be successful as
wish to in the musical world?
Ans: Indeed you are. With your
talent you are going to receive nu-
merOus opportunities to go up in
the musical world. Concentrate on
your study of music and put every
thing that you have into it. You
must work if you desire the right
kind of results.
w. R.: Did the lady to whom my
husband wrote the note meet him,
and tell me what to do?
Ans: No she did not. Don't
excite yourself about his going out
for he has already realized what a
sap that he would be if he should
have gone out as he planned. Han
die him carefully and he will get
over this restless feeling.
W. M. H.: Is there any happi-
ness, good times and friendships in
store for me?
Ans: Certainly there is. You
don't have anything at all to worry
about, but you really should be
more friendly with the people you
come in contact with and you will
make a number of friends. An ex-
citing new romance will blossom in
your life during the coming sum
mer.

leave him and want to know if the
plans l have in mind will work
out?
Ans: They will, yes you
won't have any difficulty at all
finding employment when you make
the trip that you are contemplating
but you really should get a little
money ahead before leaving.

G. L. B.: Is it all right for me
to allow my uncle to stay with me

good company for you during these
winter months. Having another man

pay the expenses. By all means in
vite your uncle in to live with you.

good little girl during this year and

you. Don't take anyone seriously
until you are several years older
-. then the right girl will come
along.

PASSING OF THE WOoDSHED

The slipper, the single
and the barrel stave have
passed out of the picture in
homes as important instru-
ments in the discipline Of
children. But there are times
when one wonders if it was
a good idea to dispense with
them. Such punishment
tended to be harsh, it is true,
but in the hands of a coolly
deliberate and not unkindly
authority, they had their
value. The old woodshed
played a very valuable part
in the life of earlier gener-
ations.
Five young boys were re-
Gently arrested in a middle
western town for wrecking
classrooms in a school build
ing. They counted it a great
lark and their only comment
on arrest was: "Oh, the tax
payers will have to settle for
the repairs" This statement
may have been in keeping
with with present-day ideas
of political economy, but it is
unsound, nevertheless. And
some early training in the
woodshed may have pre-
vented such youthful depre-
datiOnS.

proved that there is some
thing effective about it. And
such socially dangerous phi

five boys should still be
whacked out of them and
others before they become
permanent charges on the

''The Pillars
Of Our Prosperity
By RAYMOND PITCAIRN
National Chairman
Sentinels of the Republic

In one of his frequently quoted state
ments, Thomas Jefferson said that
agriculture, manufactures and COM
merce .. the pillars Of our prosper
ity," thrived best under the individual
enterprise Of average Americans.
Today Washington appears again to
be giving serious thought to that point
Of view.
Various proposals, now under consid-
Grafton, plan to unleash the unlimited
energy and resources Of the American
people, which today, as In Jefferson's
time, remain our greatest national
asset.
The effort behind them is to increase
employment - employment which, be-
cause IL h productive in object and
effect would speed the wheels Of recov-
cry by creating new goods and increas-
ing buying power TO purchase and
consume them.
This it Is planned to accomplish by
encouraging private enterprise sort
Of enterprise that throughout our his
tory has created not only Jobs but a
great American nation.
All citizens who realize that recovery
rests upon the principle Of productive
work at fair wages for all who want 1t,
win hope that these measures emerge
In q form that Is both sound and prac-
tical. An win hope that they fuIfflI the
promise Of expanded employment op-
portunities for both the American pe0-
pie and their accumulated savings.
For many months the productive
forces Of America have been pinned
under the thumbs Of ofiice-hoIders.
Now, In these proposals, 1t Is suggested
that they may be restored to the hands
Of the people. America should urge
that no change Of attitude transpires
at Washington to rob our people of this
promised opportunity for effective use
Of their strength. their energy and their
earnings.
These, too, arc Pillars Of our Pros
perity.

The argument to the commission
is predicated, therefore, upon rising
-. costs, general ex-
Ntstn1 penses, and the
Costs dozen or so rail-
way presidents
who testified before the commission
stressed the fact that these expenses
are out of control by the railroad
authorities. DR.. Parmelee figured
that these higher costs Of fuel, sup
plies, wages and taxes had laid a
burden on the railroads that is
greater this year by 1854, 789, 600
than it was in 1888. The companies
hope to get $567 ,287 900 of this sum
from the IS per cent increase in
freight rates, and the railroads Of
the East are asking that passenger
fares be increased from 2 cents to
2h cents a mile, which they think
will bring in an additional I$47, $780,
600. From this it is seen that the
carriers still will fall short Of the
full amount needed, but their ar
gument, as I understand it, pro-
ceeds on the theory that they should
not seek more Of an increase than
is sufficient to keep them from 60
ing broke. If the new depression
conditions subside, there will be a
larger volume of freight next year.
That will enable them to make a
profit. That is, a greater volume Of
business with the new rates will
provide a profit unless there are
new government taxes and other
burdens laid upon them. In this
connection, I looked up the effect
OF the social security and carriers
taxing act. Commission records
show the rail lines are paying $l11.-
100000 in taxes annually under
these two levies alone, a burden the
companies did not have two or three
years ago.
