PEACE BE WITHIN US

Each year some Scrooge says the
universal Christmas spirit is dead,
that man has come so far from the
shadow of Bethlehem manager that
he ceases to reflect in it's symbolic
ttdings. That is not true. Man thinks
himself as great, is proud of his pos
sessions, of his daring, courage and
capabilities. He boasts of worldly
gains, of his advantages, of his ply
steal and mental attachments. Man
believes himself unbeatable and in
vulnerable, until along comes Christ
mas to revive the spirit of goodness,
tolerance, faith and love. However
base our desires, however cruel our
intentions, however comfortless our
natures, each year holds an event of
such spiritual power that we forget
ourselves and turn to God. The
spell Of Christmas, the symbol of
star and stable touch the human.

In Kansas at the recent election
the residents of Kansas elected a
Democratic governor by 1900 major
ity, but the out of state voters, some
of whom have been absent from the
state continuously for fifteen to
twenty years, reversed the mandate
of the residents of the state and gave
the Republican candidate the office
by 427 votes. Kansas is one of
those states which permits former
residents of the state to vote on
state and county offices by means
of an absentee ballot, regardless of
the length of time they have been
absent from the state.

God Bless America
Robert E. Gay,
Prosser Record-Bulletin

One of the greatest dangers facing
America today is that an extended
depression should cause men to lose
faith in the blessings of Democracy
There needs to be a definite reali-
cation that our troubles are not due
to OUR democratic forms but to ques-
lions of economics.
A surgeon who will operate on the
heart of his patient to cure a foot
ailment is no more foolish than a
people who will lose faith in self
government when the trouble lies
elsewhere. Dentists have been known
to pull the wrong tooth; doctors
have made wrong diagnoses and the
American people are in danger of
making a similar mistake
What is American Democracy and
Is anything wrong with it?
Our Democracy is founded on the
theory that governments are insti-
tuted among men deriving their just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned." In America we have imple-
mented that theory with a repre-
sentative form of government where
we both nominate and elect our pub
lie servants through a free and Sc
cret ballot system and are guided in
course by Constitution which guar
antees trial by jury, freedom Of
speech, of press, of assembly; free
dom from mWarranted search or ar
rest and from cruel and unusual
punishment.
But this is not all. American life
IS characterized by a spirit of equal
ity and a respect for the individual.
We have no castles here and every
American mother, as she rocks her
infant son, knows full well she lives
in country where he may become
president.
Is there anything in our Democ-
racy that any sane man would sur
render or have fundamentally diff
ferent?
No, American Democracy is our
national heritage and we should love
and cherish it.
Let us stake our all on America.
Let our lips proclaim and our
hearts swell with the measured ca
dence of an answering loyalty to
these ideals which represent the
realization of the dream of millions
through unnumbered centuries.
God Bless America.

The Dies committee may make
some mistakes and may pull some
boners. It would be a miracle if it
did not, but even so we are in favor
of it's continuance. The insiduous
infiltration of foreign ismS and for
eign propaganda designed to under
mine this nation as the nations of
Europe were undermined is threat
serious enough and real enough to
warrant some energetic agency be-
ing on the job constantly to guard
against it. The United States should
become known at one spot on the
earth that this sort of practice is not
healthy. True, it may cost some
but liberty and freedom are
things that should not be measured
in mere dollars and cents.

tues that make him akin to his
Maker.
We have come many Christmas
tides from that birthday of over
1900 years ago. We have lived a
thousand years in endeavoring to
justify ourselves in the eyes of our
fellows. We have used wisdom and
kindness, sympathy and gentleness,
for in each is the capacity to be
these sometime during lifetime.
But perhaps we have permitted the
false gods of power and wealth to
override our gentle traits and dim
the true nature with a false face
of personal greed.
Would we be where we are today
if we had needed the cry for peace
and goodwill? Though nations
fight nation, their people oppress-
ed and suffering, there still remains
the universal spirit for Christmas.
No matter what effort a country
makes to keep Christmas from the
boundary-line, regardless of laws
against religion, the heart hangs up
its stars and wreaths, the spirit
sings of the light of the star, there
IS the odor of sweet hay and the
vision of the Mother holding aloft
the Christ child. You cannot blind
man to the creed with which he was
born or erase from his soul the in
heritance from that holy baby.
AS we busily bedeck the Christ
mas trees of Kennewick, as we pur-
chase. and as we receive, being ia
tigued by the material part of the
holiday, let us remember the spirit
ual Christmas that is reverant and
profound in its true meaning. Our
faith promises throubh peace good
will among men," To deny it we
reap that which is about us, war
and hate and greed. So let us
throw off the burden of man-made
misery, hearken to the angel of
peace, the star of Gods guidance,
the wreath of glory and the carol
that sings of our great blessings
through love and peace within us.

Winter Egg Slump
Often Caused By
Low Feed Intake
Provide More Light and En-
courage Hens to Eat More,
Advises Poultry
Authority.

"They must eat or they won't lay
may sound like trite admonition
for producing winter eggs. Yet the
fact remains that the secret of keep
ing hens at top production through
out the winter depends very much OH
getting Ell ugh feed into the birds
every day, Emphasizes G. S. Johnson
manager of the Purina Poultry De.
partment.
Getting enough feed into the
birds actually means increasing tho
daily feed consumption of each hen"
says Johnson. For as the days gel
shorter. steps must be taken to step
up the actual feed intake SO that
every bird will be sure of getting all
she needs to make eggs and stay in
good egg-making condition"
There are some very definite and
practical things a poultryman can
do to increase feed consumption for
more winter eggs, according to John.
son.
Nogales international., 1940-02-10

my first recommendation would
be to use a concentrated, compressed
feed like Layena Checkers several
times a day, right on top Of the lay
ing mash-all the Checkers the birds
will clean up in Is minutes at a
time. Since Checkers are laying
mash and grain in highly concen-
trated form, Checker feeding is
bound to achieve greater feed intake
'The second step in the winter egg
producing plan is to provide a IL tG
13 hour feeding day through the use
Of electric lights. Obviously the birds
must have plenty of light and have
it long enough each day to give them
sufficient eating time.
GAS third suggestion comes the
very important requirement of sup
plying enough feed hopper space tc
allow the hens plenty of room fo1
eating. At least 40 feet of hopper
space should be furnished for every
100 BIRDS" admonishes johnson
'Then this fourth recommendation
naturally follows: AS with feed, SC
with water. Give the birds adequate
drinking facilities; keep fountains
well-f1lled with clean, fresh drinking
water. The chill should be removed
in severely cold weather.
Attracting the Birds
ITO attract the birds to the feed
hoppers it is well to add fresh mash
feed often and stir the mash fre.
quently. This causes the hens te
take more notice of the feed and
encourages eating" he says.
