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

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

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.

I there are remarkably few copies

These works, together with the liI
brary already possessed by the Soj

and modern aeronautical literature
probably unsurpassed in this or anv
other country. The books In the Society's
library a?-e available to any

A farmer in Switzerland withdrew
h:s savings of a lifetime from the

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.

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.

Mussolini Qualifies
As a Lingu:at
Rome, Dec. 19.?Benito Mussolini,
4 he youthful legal dictator of Italy,
is an accomplished linguist. 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.
"I hardlv think I could qualify to
make a speech in the American Concress."
he said to a friend recently,
