NOTHING UNREAL ABOUT THIS
Only an Idealist Would Have Ex
pected Anything Elae From the
Modern Gilded Youth.
Kdltcr Cfoi^'c Horace Lorlmcr wii?
talking? in a Philadelphia club about
realism,
"I've got . no time for realists," be
said, "because they paint human na
ture worse than it- is. ^ Here's a typ
ical realist story for you:
"A pretty girl was engaged to two
young men simultaneously, and one
evening the parlor maid came to her
atul said in a scared voice:
" 'Oh, Miss Bessie, them two gents
what you're engaged to has called to
gether, and somehow they've' found
out about both engagements.'
"The pretty girl threw her cigarette
Into the tire pettishly.
"'What the dickens shalf I do?' she
exclaimed.
"But the parlor maid smiled Joy
fully.
" 'I'll tell you what to do. Miss Bes
sie,' she said. 'I'll %o downstairs and
say you're crying in your room becatise
your pop has lost all his money. Then
you can be engaged for keeps to the j
gent what stays.'
"'That seems a good plan," said the
pretty girl, and she lit another ciga
rette and waited.
"The maid was gone about three
minute*. Thei) she .returned with a
frightened look on her white face.
" 'Miss Bessie, both on 'em has
gone.' she said."
A Preacher Fisherman.
ITe couldn't get rich preaching, so he
gave it ui> and went fishing. After, a
seas?tn's. work with a salmon fishing
crew he had enough money to buy
tickets to Norway for his wife, their,
four children and himself. Now Hev.
if. B. Nyoen, former pastor of the
Norwegian Baptist church of Tacomn,
Wash., is on his way to NorvC?*r where
he says preaching Is more lucrative
than in America.
His desire , for money was due en-,
tlrely to his longing to return to Nor
way. When his earnings off a fisher
man were sufficient to buy the" tickets
he was willing to quit fishing. He will
go to Harstad, Norway, where he will
receive as phstor about $1,500 a year,
with house and fuel. He received only
$800 from his little church in Tacoma.

Australian trade representative, his
country is in a class by Itself, so far

Living costs have increased but 30
per cent, and a four-room cottage rents
for from $20 to $25 a month. There l?

SILVER IS KIN3 IN ARIZONA
Old and New Mines Are Being Opened
After Peace Brought Slump
In Copper.
Silver I* king again In Arlfona. says
0. P. Kelnlger, president of the As
sociation of Arlxona Mining Men, ac
cording to the Philadelphia Ledger's
Phoenix correspondent, With the cop
per market stagnant as a result of the
cessation of war requirement*, the de
mands for white metal are pouring In
from till quartern of the globe. Many
of the producers are replacing their
copper handling equipment with
plant* to turn out silver.
"There la a hlg Remand ft>r silver
lu China and India," says George D.
ttethune of Globe. "The United States
government Is Ailing It at ft an ounce,
the game price at which It la supfdylng
200,000,000 ounces 'of the metal to the
British government on contract."
Years ago, when Tombstone was at
the height of Its fame, Arltona was a
great silver producer. Then came the
slump. Copper was discovered. Last
year, according to the estimate of the
United States geological survey, Ari
zona produced $102,000,000 worth of
copper. "Give us copper," was the
cry from the United States and the
allies.
With the armistice conditions
changed overnight. One billion pounds
of copper, more than a third of which
to be awaiting sale. So copper Is
down and silver is up.
Surveys of the state Indicate that In
thf> Prescott and Tucson mines silver
predominates ever the other metals;
In Blshee, Jerome, Globe and AJo Its
values as a by-product run heavily.
From the neighborhood of Prescott
come reports of the revival of old sil
ver mines. Battle Flat, scene of a
sanguinary Indian fight In the seven
ties, Is reported to have yielded new
discoveries of silver, and two fresh
camps have been opened on this spur
of che northern slope of the ftrnd
shaws.
CHRISTMAS FACTS IN BRIEF
Day Celebrated as Christian Festival
for Centuries ? Holly Once
a Sacred Plant.
Christmas day Is the anniversary of
the birth of Christ, and has been cele
brated as a Christian festival for sev
eral centuries. The Christmnstide lasts
from tln? 25th of December to the 0th
of Junuary, the twelfth day after
Christ's nativity.
The origin of the. Christmas -tree Is
obscure; the thought of Christ as the
Light of the World and the Tree of
Life may have given rlso the light
bearing tree, or the popular old belief
that every Christmas eve, trees blos
somed and bore fruit, may have -been
the foundation of the custom.
Gift-giving is, of course, the echo
of the Wise Men's gifts; and mince
pie, turkey and plum puddings are
modern relics of the pagan feasts.
Santa ClaUs, known to every child in
every land in this old world Is the per
sonification of the spirit of loving and
giving.
The holly, synonymous of Christ
mas, was a sacred plant, and the mis
tletoe u mysterious plant, supposed by
the ancient Druids to have some mys
tic power of healing and preventing
misfortune. It was never allowed to
tquch the ground, hence the modern
superstition that It is unlucky for a
mistletoe bough to fall from Its place.
It was dedicated to the Goddess of
Love, which explains the custom of
kissing under the mistletoe.

Get Your Tractor Now
A TRACTOR operating successfully
on low-priced, low-grade fuels ?
kerosene, distillate, etc., is a paying investment
from the very outset. This has been proved by
the records of many thousands of Titan 10-20
tractors specially designed and built to operate on
kerosene, 01* any other crude oil distillate testing
39 degrees Baume or higher.
Titan Tractors are All Alike _
They are* easier to handle than a farm team and
easier to care for. You can do your work on time,
plow deeper, prepare better seed beds, do more
work with less help, and get more profit from your
farm. They do be!': work that cannot be done by ?
horses and pull rr.c.v. in proportion to weight than
horses. Horses must have rest whether tfye work
is crowding you or not. If necessary, you can
keep your Titan working continuously, without
rest, until the work is done.
Here you have economy, efficiency, depend
ability ? three prime essentials of farm power ?
carrying an assurance of bigger crops, better yields,
and fatter profit. Order a Titan early, so that you
will have it when you need reserve power.
