Such mrttar to THINK IT OVEROur ancient friend, " Something-pi eaaant-fl-look-fonvard-to," is a grand eld Inspiration for jaded days and alaable stretches of monotony. To be a bit more explicit, the young woman who types these lines solemnly and po?tlve)y avers that marriage would lose half its charm if tnere was'nt a reasonably lingering "engegemeiat" beforehand. I,?ook1ng forward to something you believe is going to be nice, has woven a thrilling spell of pleasing romance Mound millions of hearts since the up rid began. And now, countless children during these December days are treading these fhlry path* that lead to the jo. if Chtletmaa. , That day is just over the hill yon-i iter, and we are all quite exxcited over tie coming ao gMfc To all those good folks who are pitting og to last-minute preparation: you are taking from the children some of the pleasures that really belong to them this holiday time. To a child, presents in a store are thr-away, visionary, unreal things, | hut hid away right in the home, they re a constant, near-by delight Something for little lads and lassies CD lie awake nights and dream beautiful dreams about leader, this is not at all Intended as a "shop-early" story, but our lltte argument for the rights of the childTbtat If over! BBITI8H OOTTON'CONCESSION At least one concession has been pried loose from the obtuse British I fprerninenk which revels In "orders to council" and rules and regulations of Its own making that knock neutral trade over by the government at the price at port of shipment at the time ef shipment This is a substantial concession, and & the first inclination the southern tier of states have experienced since the war began that Great Britain did sdt Intend to annihilate their business Interests altogether. One keen observer says that it is easier to become a candidate for office than to become a lawyer or a preacher because on d<<es not have to prove hie character. Don't see where England is In peril tar this war. The most she can loose fit territory, business and prestige, and lot of wise critics believe worse Clings can happen to a nation. It is doubtful, tho, if England will lose in business. It Is said her trade at present Is greater than is was at the begUwlog of the war. But it will take an awful lot of trade to pay off those ?r debts, and If she loses, an maempity tn the bargain.

Cloud, on# of the iuost prominent citizens of Ham. let, died Saturday, after a prolonged Illness. lie suffered a complicatlcn of diseases, and recently spent some time in a Haltimore hospital. While standing in the postoilice last evening we were amused at a conversation between two of our prominent young ladles who were discussing their Christmas beaux. This is what one of them said: "They come, right along the year around until about the first of December and then you see them J thin out. First one and then another disappears until the first thing yon ' know you don't receive a call in a week. i That is a sure sign that Christmas Is at hand. Oh, we've got the thing down tine and we know, what it means. This time, thouirli. when some of these fellows come sneuklng back after New Year's and Invite their old friends to take a 10 cent movie ticket they'll think something has dropped. The times may be hard, but I know a doden girls who are not so hard up for a beau as to overlook a case of mysterious disnppenrcnce at Christmas time. This is the season of the year when a young lady can always tell which one, if any, _ ^ ^ of her admirers means business."
