Mason pulled up a chair and sat clown between two dogs. "Thought I'd conte over to talk over a little piece of business with you." "If it's about that note," Harper said, "I'm fixing to pay it. \\'herr it's due." "It's not about the note, 1f you ain't able to pay it—or maybe pay all of it, the can fix that up. \Vh tt 1 want to talk about is ole running a pipe down here through your pasture and pooping a little water out of that creek. \\'hat you figure you'll charge ole for running the pipe.

"Well, I'll pay whatever the damages Cottle to." "Don't figure to charge you nothing," Harper event 011 in a maddening drawl, "because 1 don't figure to let you have any water, because I've leased every doggone acre of this place to some fellers down in Corpus Christi, And if there's any more water itt that creek than what my cattle can drink, I reckon they'll want it theirselves. They're paying me twenty dollars an acre for ten years, and that's more than 1 can make off'n a bunch of cows." 11 art'ey's neck was red and his eyes glared.

"It ain't, but I don't mind tell- ing for I reckon you'll find out anyhow. i leased to Gricc-Mor gan—and if you can get any water out of that outfit, you're a good out," "Well, I'll get it ---if I have to run a pipe plumb to the Gulf of Mexico after it!" Harvey stamped away. Ile trod viciously on the starter and raced the engine till it roared. "What do you know?" he demanded wrath- fully. "That dirty little heel!

FOUR OF A KIND It was a long step toward easing the beef shortage when that biological rarity—quadruplet calves—were born on the farm of Chas. Lucas and Sons at Dyer, Ky., last April 19. They are shown on exhibition at the Chicago Market Fat Stock Show, wartime replace- ment of the International Stock Show, Christmas Suggestions The outburst of Christmas cheer, the chiming of the bells, the wor- ship, the fun and all that goes to make a !ferry Chrismas, are ' a- tonts inherited from a long lin,. of ancestors and front many ronr.- tr:es. \Varot hospitality at this season is a tradition of long stanll- in}, so we gather our familia, our friends, and those for whom we are making Chris1na.;, to share the happiness of the day. The home economists of the Consumer Section, Dominion De- partment of Agriculture, offer a few suggestions to simplify some of the homemakers' problems. In keeping with the Christmas colour achenie the salad should be red. The choice is between cran- berries, tomato juice and beets. A jellied salad will be the easiest to prepare and serve, since it requires only garnishing with greens and dressing at the last minute. Dessert will probably be plum pudding or mince pie, but it is wise to have an alternative dessert for the children and those who may have already indulged rather heart- ily in the first course. An old- time homemade vanilla custard ice cream served with a red fruit sauce it just right.

Golden Text "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."—Luke 2:17, Journey to Bethlehem Luke 2:1-4.—In taking a Jew- ish census, all families went to the tribe to which they belonged and to the place where their family had resided. Joseph in fulfilling this demand of the Roman authorities was fulfilling the Old Testament prophecy respecting the birthplace of the Lord. Angel of tho Lord 5-7.—The word manger means simply the stable or place where the cattle or camels lodged, There was no room at the inn and Mary and Joseph were obliged to lodge in the stable. It was not necessar- ily a proof of poverty—under such conditions even the rich with the poor had to suffer inconveniences. 8-11.—The angel of the Lord came upon tie shepherds suddenly. It is not surprising that the appear- ance of the angel, enveloped in Heavenly glory, filled these simple shepherds with fear because the presence of an angel was associ- ated with disaster or death to the Jewish mind. But the Divine messenger carte not to speak of disaster, but of de- liverance; not of death but of life. The great joy of believers in their darkest hour is a striking fulfill- ment of the angel's message. The Gospel is first a personal message. The angel spoke as though Christ was born especially for their sakes—"Unto you is be rn." The Angcs' Joy 12.14.—The sign given to these simple hearted shepherds was so simple that they could not fail to find the child wrapped in swad- dling clothes and lying in a man- ger. The angels gave praise to God in the Highest, that is, in the highest Heavens. They praised God for the great plan of redemption, whereby sinful man was to be saved through the Babe whose birth the messenger announced. ear MATHIEUS SYRUP COtDS,000GNS, BRONCHITIS STOPS COUGHS ISSUE 51-1945 1 ter, l , .,', salt j yup t 1 cup di. cd o elery. 1 cut, dired cooked Mets Soak gr.'atinc in cold rater for b mimeo-.

Thanks for a `Nice' Christmas Present With Christmas close at hand the young man is likely to solve the 'gift problem" in an orthodox way , by visiting' the florist or candy shop. Exhibits in the Royal On- tario Museum, however, show that in. the nth century his lady love likely would have received a far more varied selection of presents° for instance, she might have been given a stay busk, which was a long flat piece of wood that wo- men wore at that time tucked down inside the front of their bo- dices to add to the rigidity of the pr'son-like corsets. There is a stay busk in the costume gallery of the Museum that is carved with two sets of initials and the date 1703. An even more significant gift was a wooden &poen. There are some. of these love spoons in the Museum that are beautif,llly carved and seem to suggest that in days gone by you had to be quite handy with a pocket knife before you could be a successful lover, The expression "spooning" conics front the way spoons fit closely together and this curious custom of giving a spoon grew out of that use of the word. t' • Christmas Bells I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old, familiar carols play, And wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, good will to men, H.

We seem 1.) he leaning towards a tendancy to spend Mote and more each year on the pre; eats Nye buy for our friends, I ant afraid we too often forget that gifts are meant as an expression of our thought for one another—not as a blatant display of spending power. Haven't we all had the experience some time or odor of being cheered and touched by a simple and inexpen- sive present from an unexpected quarter? If that be so, then isn't it safe to assume that we also can give pleasure in the sante tray? We can no mo. e buy a happy Christ- mas by extravagent giving than we can buy our way into the Kingdom of Heavers. Ifappiness at Christ- mas or at any other time, for that matter, is reflected in our own hearts in proportion to our will to bring happiness to the lives of others. * And what about Christmas fare —does it contribute towards our enjoyment? At the risk of being thought slightly gluttonous I would say "ccs"—particularly with so many of our boys back from overseas. .\sk these boy; and you will soon find that Christmas din- ner according to their own fancily tradition has, to them, become a symbol. Don't try to change it— don't think to yourself "I won't bother making puddings t11is year" —or cake,;, or whatever it is that has been your custom. If you do so alit) up you take something away from C Ilrisolas as your fanci- ly remembers it, No need to be extravagant—remember the starv- ing millions in Europe—but use your imagination, your ingenuity, and nlal-ie something that looks lkie the real thing. * And a tree! ‘What is home with- out your own personal Christmas tree? Wes, it is quite a bother, I know, but don't let the old custom die. Let your tree be big or small, as you wish, but make it gay and sparkling. Bring out ghee gaudy baubles, the tinsel, the star and the Christmas angel, even though the one 11 was your delight to trim the tree for in years gone by is no longer here to share it with you.

Bookshelf The High Barbaree by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall A Catalina Flying Boat lies ditched in the Pacific after its death struggle with a Jap sub- marine. Its radio has been des• troyed, its water tapks punctured, and three of its crew killed, But the Cat still floats, and in It the two survivors, Alcc Brooke, the young pilot from Iowa, and his navigator, Gene Mauriac of Cali- fornia, sweat out the hours as they wait for rescue. Days of overcast—on one of which they see a plane that does not spot them—are succeeded by an endless stretch of brassy heat. They know they have drifted far out of range of Henderson Field, and as the hours pile up and the water runs low, Alec begins to reminisce about his home town in Iowa, about his sea -faring uncle, and about his boyhood dream of a tiny Pacific Island, an island marked "Existence Doubtful" on the old maps, an island toward which they night even now be drifting . , .

The loan of $4,400,000,000 ar- ranged last week by British repre- sentatives with the United States government has two features—an advance of $3,750,000,000 to Bri- tain, to be used to re-establish domestic economy, and $650,000,- 000 by way of a Lend -Lease bal- epce, The essential aspect of the $4,400,000,000 loan is the good it can do the two Countries' (and the world) in setting up the basis for new trade agreements which will permit a free flow of world -trade goods. The major trade concessions made by great Britain will work to the advantage of the United States, by opening up new markets to American industry and agriculture. It is not inconceivable that these renewed markets %\rill add more billions to the national income of the United States in one year than the amount of the loan, lit lighting the wear, says the Ncw York Sun, Great Britain en- tirely exhausted its working capi• tal. The British still arc in a strong pc: ition as business men all over the world. They have the shops and an established reputation fn" sound business dealings, but they haven't the goods with which iu stock their shops. It is now proposed that we help than by supplying working capital. If we do so we can hope that the channels of world trade once more will be open to ourselves as well as to Great Britain and other nations. If world trade cannot be estab- lished in an orderly manner, the alternative for Great Britain will be inability to buy goods from us which would mean that she would have to confine her trade to the sterling area Population of U.S. Over 140,000,000 The Census Bureau has an- nounced that the population of the United States passed the 110,000,- 000 mark about Oct. 1. J. C. Capp, Bureau Director, said that on this basis, the population increased by about 8,330,725 in the STA years following the 1940 cen- sus, This compares with an in- crease of 8,894,29 during the 10 years between 1930 and 1910. Britain Rebuilding Merchant Navy A merchant navy of fast, up-to- date ships is shaping up in Brit- ain's many shipyards and by early next year many new cargo liners will be ready to carry goods abroad in the greatest export drive of this country's history, At Sept. 30 Llyod's register re- ported 3371 ships of 1,496,2.43 tons were under construction in the United Kingdom, 'Almnost 100 of the craft are coastal vessels under 500 tons but 87 are of more than 3,000 tons, suitable for deepsea service. Rebuilding Britain's merchant fleet to its 20,000,000 -ton pre-war level will he a work of years. Helicopters Two liners note being buil; in Britain will carry helicopters to fly off mail aid urgent freight as they near port. HOTEL METROPOLE All Beautifully Furnished With Running Water.
