WEDNESDAY . DECEMBER 20, 1922 When you do the good work of Santa Claus, be sure that you follow Ihn instnictinns nf ttin Mutrr: "T.efc not your left hand know what your right hand doeth." It is a fine old world, after all! Quite a great old world. There are so many kind hearted people, so many who really care, that life just cannot . be altogether a series of ills, even in the case of the most unfortnuate. A bit of sleet this morning! Cold winds, heavy clouds! But who cares? If is Christmas time, and Santa Claus cares not a rap for weather conditions. The colder it is, the better he likes it. Snow would add to the festivities of the occasion. Judge I. W. Bowman, who presided over the court here during the last term, is a man after our own heart. He carries on the work of the court without waste of time; he presides with dignity, he insists upon having the witnesses feel the responsibility cf the hour and is, with it all, genial and kindly in his attitude. He is stern tnouuh, yet not too stem, he is firm enough, yet not too harsh. In our humble opinion. Judge Bowman is a man who fills the position with honor 4^ j l:. .4.4* IU lillllDCIl rt.lU W 1119 HU11C. We have been making quite an effort to collect subscriptions that are in arrears during the past two or three months, and, thanks to our subscribers, we have met with quite a good hit of success. We hope to >s continue this work, and will appreci11-1 1 atfe" it ifothr subscribers will co'me In and renew. Mr. C. D. Mitchell has been making the rounds, hut it often happens that he calls and the subscriber is out, and so, he does not get to see all. It will help us and help your own feelings, if you will call and make settlement. These amounts are small, but the aggregate is quite large, large enough to put us beyond the needs of the hour. We are going ahead making contracts with farmers to raise tomatoes the coming season for the cannery. Many of those who planted a half acre this year are planning to put in one. two or three acres. We hope to get as much as 500 acres planted. Thi; will give us quite a good output for the season, and will amount to something really helpful to the farmers. We are now making urgent call for the payment of the balnnce of the subscriptions to the capital stocK of the concern. There ar? only a few now who have not paid, and v.'e hnpe to have every subscription paid on or before January 1. We ran make his enterprise worth i while, and we intend to do it. On January 1, or about thnt time, we purpose holding a nyteting of the stockholders and laying our final plans for a full year thp' coming season. There is no real r/ason why this movement cannot be^4nade to develop into a very large enterprise.

Pari* Prefers Lighter 1 Forms of Amusement Paris, Dec. 19.?The people of Paris spend a quarter of a trillion v francs yearly on theatres and motion I pictures, and do not care to do much 1 heavy thinking during the process. 1 oovemment statistics on last year's ' receipts of every playhouse in Pari3 ' warrant these statements, and at the f same time supply interesting infor- ' nation about what pleases the tired business man of France and his non- 1 voting wife. 1 Motion picture houses, which out number the regular theaters three to one, took in 50,000,000 francs in 1919, ta?.her more than did the theatres, and a th.rd of the total amusemen. receipts. Last year, however, the theaters took first place w.th receipts of 86,000,000 francs, 11,000,000 more than the movies. This increase seems to be due largely to the fact that theatergoers have modifieJ their oppositional attitude toward high prices of admission and also by a revival of the typically light and racy play. The government-subsidized Opera, I and the Opera Comique, headed the I list with the largest receipts, each taking in more than 9,000,000 francs i last year and the serious Coniedie < Francaise did well with 6,000,000 francs, but these institutions are vir- ' tually without competition in their field, and they represent a big portion of the money paid for the classics. The Folies-Bergeres, where the big 1 scenes always hinge on the presentation of a group of handsome show girls, tops the list of theatres, exj ceeding even the famous Comedie Fracaise. The next in line among the dramatic houses is the Palais Royal, which always pursues a policy of giving highly spiced comedies of family 1 life. ForeSees Era of Intenso Development in Europe London, Dec. 19.?"We are now entering a new chapter in the economic history of the world, a period which will, I believe, surpass in the inten sity of its development the wonderful forty-four years preceding the Great War," said Edgar Crammond, an English financial writer, recently in the course of a lecture on "The International Financial Situation" to members of the London Chamber of Commerce. "This country is called upon to un> dertawe tasks of reconciliation and recv... it ruction such as her broad sli'.i.'tl -rs have never carried before, and she is the one power organized and equipped to bring order out of the great chaos. 'Qjjj,qwro_great duties must be." connTWK.tr?mr. Crammond, "first, to secure the disarmament of Europe, and secondly, to solve the problem of reparations and inter-Allied debts. ' Now that we hive prnctica'ly arranged for the payment of our debt to the United States, it might be possible to invite American co-operation with us in a policy of help and forbearance. To crary out these great tasks, it is essential that we have freedom from governmental control | of the financial machinery of the i country. The great joint stock banks, the Anglo-foreign banks, and 1 the great British mercantile houses ! should now be allowed to evercise a > greater influence in the shaping of our '"n-'n^'al policv than they have enjoyed since August, 1914." "If we can arrive at a friendly understanding with Fram e," the speak e*- added, "re urite the world into a single economic un't, and es'ab'ish on^e again the in'ernational financial system, I. for one. look hn^efuMy and with great confidence to the future. I The? e is no finality to economic ex* pnnsion. and viewed historically the great war is a pa*t of the process of 'he economic evolu'ian of the world. We have effected in four and a half , years of war and four years of peace, progressive changes which wou'd h*H*e taken nerhans two generations ^ of peace to accomnMsh." Valuable Books on Aeronautics Held in Britain Ixmdon, Dec. 19.?The Council of the Royal Ae"onau,ieal Society announced recentlv that through the ' generosity of the trustees of the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust it has been ab'e to arrange for the purchase of a large number of valuable historical books on aeronautics which would otherwise have been sold to an American company. Tll? n? * i. AIIC 1/UUA3 HI C UI IIIHTCSL HS I lieV were wrtten before the possibi'iti->b of aircraft were fully rea'ized, and I there are remarkably few copies j known to be in existence. These works, together with the liI brary already possessed by the Soj eiefv, makes its col'eetion of early and modern aeronautical literature probably unsurpassed in this or anv other country. The books In the Society's library a?-e available to any student in the British Islese. A farmer in Switzerland withdrew h:s savings of a lifetime from the hnnk and hid it in the barrel of his shotgun. A rabbit stopped outside his doer and the farmer grabbed his pun and fired. He got the rabbit but it cost him 2,000 Swiss francs about the am?unt he had stuffed into the gun and forgotten about.

The Inspector Geneial in < bankruptcy, in his report, says "the < nagnitude of the failures is much < greater than in any year since tho \ct of 1883 cam* into operation." When compared with 1020 the fig- * irges show an increase in liabilities * >f 15,034,065 pounds sterling, and in * Rspta of 5.849.2(i0 pounds stor ing. < There was a notable decrease in ( he number of companies registered n England and Scotland dunng 1921. he figures being 6,834 with a nominal ' .apital of 107,214,786 pounds sterling, ' gainst the 1920 ligures of. 10,783 :ompanies with a nominal cap tal of 387,484,721 pounds sterling.

The rate of unemployment was high during October in nearly all the principal industries, says the Labor .Ja.'.ette. Among members of trade onions it was 14.1 at the end of Oc.ober, as compared to 14.6 at the end jf September, and 15.6 at the end of October, 1921. The changes <n rates r.d wages, reported as having taken fleet in October, resulted in an aglegate reduction of over 250,000 oiinds serling in the weekly fulltime wages of nearly 1,500,000 work icople, and in an aggregate increase >f over 22,000 pounds sterling in th.' weekly wages of over 400,000 people. Since the beg'nning of 1922 the hanges in rates of wages reported 0 the Ministry of Labor have resultel '.n a net reduction of nearly 4,200,J00 pounds sterling in the weekly fu 1 time wages of nearly 7,500,000 work eople, and a net increase of nearly 11,500 pounds sterling in the weekly .ages of nearly 75,000 people.

Besides his mother tongue, Italian, he pos sesses, in the order named, knowledge of French, German and English. He learned Frrnch at an ea -ly age and he speaks it without the s'ightest accent. For some years before the war he was a professor of French ' terature in the University of Milan. While an editor on a newspaper published in Tren'o and owned by Cosaro Batisti, the Italian patriot executed by the Austrians during the *\ar, be studied German, and while his pronunciation is not on a par with hi3 French, he has a profound know'edge of Goethe's tongue. Seriously wounded during 'he war, ht remained two months in a hospital. There, during his convalescence, he took up the study of English.
