CH RI STMAS CARDS
Snapshots such as this can be posed any time now—and
charming, inexpensive Christmas cards,
Ai BOUT" this time each year, I
LI observe a ring of red ink
around a date on my calendar, and
a note on the margin—"Time to
think about Christmas dards." It's a
warning that has saved me lots of
trouble in the past, and that is why
I am passing it along to you now.
Naturally, every dyed-in-the-wool
Guild member likes t0 design his
Christmas card around one of his
own snapshots. However, Arany of
us tend to put It off until the last
moment—and, in the end, have to
send out ordinary cards that are
not n' all individual. So my advice
is—get busy now, and have your
cards ready for early mailing.
No two photographic Christmas
cards are altke, That is what makes
them so personal, and there are
thousands of ideas You can adapt.
Tho picture is the important part,
and a clover picture idea gives the
lard more appeal.
If your child has a set of building
will make
blocks with big letters on them, try
lining up the blocks so they spell
"Merry Christmas," Then pose the
child beside them, holding, perhaps.
the last letter ready to place it in
position—and you have a set-up for
a story -telling picture.
Special pictures such as this lead
to charming cards, well worth the
little planning they require. how-
ever, a good group snapshot of the
family at home is often preferred
—and moat albums contain such
enapahots. A picture of the belies—
especially with snow on it—makes
an attractive card, and you may
have a suitable picture from last
winter that can be used.
Itun through the album, and see
what you can find. Some of the
pictures may give you ideas for
new snapshots, especially suited to
Christmas card use. The chief point

rives almost before you know it,

Proverbs of Conduct
The new year is a time' for taking

have been banded, proverbs for the
government of conduct. They are
as applioable this year as fu the
past.
Do not carry too much sail.
Never rake um old grievances.
Pardon others often; thyself
never,
Don't yoke the plow before the

I8 you wish a thing done, go; if
not, send.
Not maim tbl.ngs imperfectly, but
a few well.
Never neglect an opportunity for
Improvement.
Never trouble trouble till trouble
troubles you.
Tell no one wheat you would have
known only to yourself.
You will conquer more surely by
prudence than by passion.

than $7 per ton,
Refused High Price
,One block o steel, puehased by
Schmidt two years ago, weighing it

which the deceased paid, it is stat-
ed, $2,000, was: put up for sale and

including saws, hain3ners, slelges,
bars and blocks from earnings ac-
cumulated, from his labors as a
farm helper and bushman.
The amount received by the e,;
tate apart from the blocks unsold
