1t does not necessarily follow
that child must have many cost
ly toys. Sometimes the children
that have the most, are the most
unhappy. If child has too much,
he is likely to trifle with each
tool or toy and never learn well
the use of any of them. These
children are the ones who seem
to tae delight in smashing the
treasures of toyland, and reducing
them to kindlingwood.
The thing that seems to give a
child the most pleasure is to feel
that he is older than he is, and is
doing something that older people
do. Children like to play they are
grown up. They imagine them
selves big men and big women,
and glory in this fancied maturity.
Those of us who are parents
have the rare privilege of leading
our children into the delights and
fascinations of Toyland. To see
a child's mind grow under this
stimulus, is like watching some
beautiful plant develop it's leaves,
buds and flowers.

our memories, to which the most
imagination clings, which brings
back most clearly the faces Of the
past, which presents the most
vivid picture of scenes that were
brightest.
The tumults of other holidays
are soon forgotten. But those ten
der scenes of Christmas, how they
linger in the mind! Those old pic
lures bring back the faces of dear
old friends who have marched on
before, parents, grandparents, and
many others, who deprived them
selves of things they needed, that
they might load up old Santa
with the things we had dreamed
of but could not provide for our
selves.
What scenes of family jollity
come back in those galleries of
memories! Loved persons now si-
lent were then bubbling over with
gaiety and fun, waking the homes
by their laughter, playing tricks
and joining with the children in
kid games, finding youth again
after the lapse of long years of
toll and anxiety.
What is it in Christmas that
thus turns labor and anxiety
into merriment and forgetfulness
of uphappy thought? Clearly it is
but one thing, that for day we
acquire the giving spirit. Instead
Of striving for ourselves, we be-
gin to think of other folks. and

Once a year children of our
homes set out in search of a new
country which can be called Toy
land. They stand open-mouthed
before store windows, and drink
in the picture furnished by dolls
and toy automobile and fire en-

They flatten their little noses
against the plate glass windows,

Good old Business Cycle

Youths wholesale desertion OF
the farm, one of the principal
problems of the American agricul-
tural and employment situation,
has enlisted the deep interest of
economists and sociiologists. ap-
parantly to little avail. The lat
est gun in the attack against the
march of the country lads to the
city has been fired by the special
committee on farm tenancy OF
Governor Kraschel of Iowa. which
suggests a revision of school text
books to counteract undue gloTif-
cation of urbanism.
Migration of thousands Of farm
youth to the cities in the last few
years, the committee points out,
has tended toward rural human
erosion" and it warns that contin-
uation of this trend would bring
serious complications for both city
and rural areas if not checked.
The committee continues:
Our rural schools, both pri-
mary and secondary, must edu-
cate the children for the proper
appreciation of a home on the land
and prepare the majority for the
noble career of conducting a home
on the land.
City children also should be
taught the value of the land and
be made to realize that their pros
perity depends upon it and the
prosperity of rural folk"
It may be helpful to various
planners of ways designed ''to
keen 'em down on the farm" to
note that the annual Outlook
Conference on Farm Living, held
in Washington Jointly by the bu-
reaus of agricultural economics
and home economics, finds that
the farmer will have more money
to spend next year.
AS the correspondent who tells
US this puts it, THAT is because
Of the city-farm cycle; city people
viii earn more next year from
the business upturn, so they will
have more to spend on farm pro-
ducts. So the farmers will have
more money to buy city products
So the city people will buy more
farm produces. And so on and so
on. It's called a business cycle"
The business cycle is a theory
predicated on experience and
hope. We have both the experience
and the hope. Perhaps the hope

FOUR CLUBS IN
 GREAT CALL0P
 FOR A. |. LEAD
Yanks Third Behind Red SOx, Indians-Hartnett
 Double Beats Hubbell
By GEORGE KIRKsEY

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, May 19-(UP)-The American league commanded atten- ton today with 8 ding g-dong dog fight between four clubs for the pacemaker's role now occupied by the Boston 1sed Sox.
 It's been so long since they've had real "horse-race" in the Ameri- can league that 1t seems like typo graphical error when you look at the standings and find the second place Cleveland Indians only .013 percentage points behind the Red Sox, the third place New York Yan- kees one game off the pace and the fourth place Washington Senators only 8 game and half from the top.
 By contrast the fifth place Chi cago White Sox are as close to the American league leader as the sec ond place Chicago Cubs are to the leading New York Giants in the National league. Each is 5h games back.
 One days results can shuttle the American league standings all around. In the National league the Giants dominate the situation and the only close battles are between the Cubs and Pirates for second place, and the Reds, Cardinals and Bees for fourth place, a position those three clubs all share now at 500 per cent.
 Likeness because of wet grounds yesterday helped the Red Sox hold sway in the American league at least a day longer. The three other first division clubs moved up closer.
 Cleveland, behind Bob Feller's six-hit pitching, beat the Athletics, 7-2. Teller famed five and walked eight to score his fifth victory against one defeat. Averill, with a double and triple, and Trosky, with two singles, led Cleveland's offensive.
 The New York Yankees slugged out a 11-7 victor yover the St. Louis Browns with Joe DiMaggio pacing the attack with two homers (Nos. 5 and 6) and single to drive in five runs. Heinrich and Gehrig each hit two doubles. Buck New som famed six Tanks in a row to tie the American league record before his big eighth inning col- lapse. After this feat and with two out in the eighth the Tanks launched their winning four-run rally.
 Washington snapped four-game losing streak by winning from De- troit, 5-1, behind Wes Ferrells six hit pitching. Terrell famed Rudy York four straight times. Johnny Stone drove in three runs with 8 triple and two singles.
 The Chicago Cubs finally knocked the Giants off after three straight losses. Larry French and Charlie Root held the Giants to four hits, including homers by Joe Moore and Mel Ott. The Cubs made 10 hits of Carl Hubbell to hand him his first defeat.
 The longest major league game of the season, IA innings, was won by the Boston Bees, 2-7, over Pitts burgh. Gene Moore's single, Pep Young's error and Mueller's outfleld fly produced the winning run. Jim Turner won his third game, al- lowing only five hits.
 The St. Louis Cardinals won their fourth straight, defeating Brook lyn, 12-, and moved into a fourth place tie with the idle Reds and Bees. Bob Weilan dallowed only six hits while Don Padgett, who drove in four runs with double and two singles, led 13-hit attack on four Dodger pitchers.
