are for ma the most delightful; Christmas
memories, the most precious,
everything about our holiday preparations
at home was of the simplest
character, l<ut the season was full of
possibilities and surprises. The dinner
Ineked the conventional roust turkey.
Instead there was a roast jfoo.se
or a Inure Joint of roast beef (following
the English custom with which toy
mother was familiar) with suet dumplings
and gravy. There was always, i
too. a loaf of spiced bread and plum!
pudding with a delightful sauce of
drawn loftier, and there was tain j
file followed with ruts and raisins and 1
other goodies.
Just as "home7 always suggest to j
tne sugar cookies, hot from the oven, ]
with mother warning me not to oat so
many as to make myself sick. so t'hristmas
invariably brings to my mind the
thought of raisins. They were in the
spiced bread whieh mother made, th<>
pllim pudding was eongested with
tlr-in, 1 found them always on t'hrlsttuns
morning In m.\ stocking with other ;
good tilings and there was reg- j
ulariy on Christinas day a dish of them
on the table to be eaten after dinner.
It was not altogether what we had to
eat that gave Christmas such a high
place in my regard, though that helped
materially, no doubt. It was the mystery.
the anticipation, the preparation
and the surprise of it all: the gathering
together of all the family, the
games, the roaring fire In the fireplace,
and the general ldlarltv and good will
prevailing that made Christmas for me
the best loved of ?ll the holidays of
the entire year.
"We are rather outgrowing Christians."
a friend said to me a few days
ago. "I don't believe it is ever going
to be for any one again Just as It used
to be."
I suppose not ; though there are some
i?vents connected with the celebration
>f Christinas, there is the real Christinas
w hich 1 am sure I shall nc\er < utgrow.
If I should hang up my stroking
by the fireplace how, I feel just as
-lire as I ever did that ohl Saint Nick
would get in some was before morning

I was a ch'.ld. My faith In Chrism is

Farmer Must Cut Acreage
I hi- farmer who hoi rows monev t !
make a crop may as well make up* hi,
mind to reduce his cotton acreage j
next year. Heretofore his banker
has had \ cry iittlc to say about how
ho should run hi- farm, but next year
there will be some one higher up in
the financial world who will Lull th-*
banker what thi hanker must tell the
farmer. The local hanker borrows
the money he lends the farmer from
the big hanker in the North or West.
After all it is the big banker's money
the farmer is using. The big banker
has become interested in the cotton
situation and his eyes are focused on
Southern agriculture. He is wise
enough to see that if the Southern
farmer does not change his farming
methods the South will have to tak?
to bankruptcy. If the South takes
bankruptcy the big banker will lo-e
the money he loaned the far methrough
tiie .ma! banker. And so,
after a l. it is a wheel within a wheel.
I he acreage reduction movement has
taken concrete form jrt that the local
