CHRISTMAS GREETING TO ALL.
We send our Christmas greeting to
each and every subscriber. We have
decided to take two days, Monday and
Tuesday, for our holiday. You will
get your next Times on Wednesday,
December 27. The fact that after the
Christmas rush the business houses
will not be advertising on the day following
Chris*nias day, and the fact
that our men have few holidays during
the year, It-ad us to the idea that
we may as well take two days otf us
not You will get your next paper
Wednesday, December 27.
We sincerely trust that every one j
hi uui auusiiiucra will nave n vfry
happy Christmas, and that none will
be neglected fcy old Santa Claus.
The year has been trying for many.
Farmers, merchants and textile workers
have been face to face with adverse
conditions in unsatisfactory
business and low wages. We are now
in the very midst of our battle against
the boll weevil. We are rapidly adjesting
ourselves to the new conditions,
and, in the end, we will find
great improvement in agriculture and
all business.
Trying years, such as the one we
have just gone through, develop much
meanness, much littleness *? human
nature. Debtors are not al
ways fair to their credvorcredit ?s
are often harsh and unjust and us
picion and mistrust are much in evidence
upon such seasons ;;s we have
gone through this year.
Much of the trouble is psychological
? a thing that is created in the hu*mah
mind. One ' TTirfbrtufffffc? '.TW^wi1
pressed business man, in the run of
a day, puts the fear of failure into
many others. One harsh, unmerciful
act on the part of a creditor throws
confusion into many debtors, and so
it goes.
Taking it all in all. Union County
has much for which to he thnnk-ful I
this happy Christmas season. We
have an abundance of food. Most of
us have reasonably good clothes. We
have a community that is noted for
its spirit of charity. Union County
is a good county in which to live, ar.d
the condition grows better year by
year.
If there can be brought to pass the
multiplication of small farms; if the
diversification already begun can be
carried forward, our future is one
that may well bring joy to our hearts.
The Times editor has much for
which to give thanks, not the least
of the seasons being good health and
a will to work. "The old man" has,
or will, in a few days, have reached
his 63rd birthday. The work as editor
is one of real joy. If he could
choose his occupation in heaven, and
they have newspapers there, he would
choose to edit a clean daily newspaper
six days in the week and preach to a
real, live church every Sunday forever
and ever. Who knows but what they
have newspaners in heaven? You
cannot prove that they dc not. It
may be a wireless, paperless intansri- '
ble sheet, but it will be an agency '
for distributing the news, we believe.
Anyway, for this mortal life we ask
for r.o better employment. Of courre, 1i
when the money runs low, and we i
have to scuffle about for the "dough" j *
to make the wheels go, it sometimes , j
grows a bit irksome. Sometimes. I
when wo inadvertently get upon'
j
somebody's toes, and tret therefor a.
"tongue lushing,' it does not feel so (
good. But that does not often hap- j.
pen. If we listened to suggestions we | h
would be fore\er firing away at some I
grievance that somebody has and *
wants us to vent. But we steer clear H
of such, as much as in us lies. As we a
grow older we have less complaint s
and more praise for people. We find . a
that the experiences of the years jus- J1
tifies the conclusion that it is often
a
better to wan a victory by diplomacy ^
than by open war. ; Ci
The Times is not all that we desire v
i
to make it. Our income is so limited
that wc dare not put forward many
real plans for making a better paper. ^
But we realize that all our friends p<
know thla, and that it really does notj
mutter so much after all. Our aim, I
our chief aim is not the piling up of j
dollars, but the rendering of service.
We feel that a man should be ashamed
to live for himself alone; that his
chief reason for living should be to
serve others. This is, and has been,
our aim. Life is too short to be
given up to dollar chasing. There are
so many poor people, so many cases
of real need in the world that we do
not feel that we could be happy to
live in affluence and ease while the
suffering abounds. Rather, we feel
'hat we must take our share in the
hardships of life.
We again extend to all our friends
Knot iim jUao fnr n \f nrnr PKriotmuc
May God bring to each of you great
oy, good health, many friends and a
heart at peace with God and man.

Gasoline Tax Suggested to
Meet Michigan Highway Cost
Lansing, Mich., Dec. 23.? Enactment
of legislation to remodel the
state's taxation system, cut down the
cost of state government, develop he
state as an agricultural center,
tighten the "blue sky" laws and
broaden women's lights will be asked
-j .... -> iA-onosed chpn^es In
nfc *ja\vs,f^r the "Michigan legislature
when it convenes!. in regular session
in January.
Outstanding in the prospective legislation
are the following proposa's:
To provide a gasoline tax to finance
highway development and maintenance
without a real property tftx.
m -1. - *
iu maite more compact tne centralized
state government which was
inaugurated two years ago, by curtailing
and combining departments.
To make the furnishing of poisonous
liquor punishable as manslaughter.
To tighten the motor veh'cle laws
by prescribing more specifically th
lighting equipment on automobiles,
and increasing the penalties for
speeding and reckless driving.
To delegate to the state agricultural
college much of the work don.by
the state agricultural department.
To provide what amounts to a
literacy test for voters.
To provide a bill of rights for women,
which will put them on an equal
standing wilh men in business and
welfare matters.
To enact a land certification law
which will enable non-residents of the
state to invest in Michigan's undevelopel
lands and to provide that
the state encourage reforestation of
die lands not suited to agriculture by,
reducing taxes.
The reapportionment of the stat?-:
legislative district, which comes be
fore the legislature by virtue of the
1920 federal census, stands high in
state interest. Other measures include
provision for a eugenics law:
to devise ways and means of raising
money to retire the $01,550,000 state
bonded inedbtedness without adding j
to the tax burden of real property; !
and to make insanity grounds for di-1
/orce.
An attempt may be made to revive
the income tax, which was initiated
by the 1921 legislature and d:>"eated
by the voters.
Feeder Lines Needed by
U. S. Railroad in Alaska (
Anchorage, Alaska, Dec. 22.?Feed
r lines are needed by the United
States government railroad in Alas^.
:a, according to General. Wiles P.
tiehardson, who, as representative of
Secretary of the Interior fall, made i
n inspection tour of the road.
Rail spur tracks and wagon roads,
ccording to the general would re- i
ult in development of the mineral
nd agricultural lands which lie ad- !
icent to the railroad. 1
Eventually the government must 1
dopt a colonization plan for A1 tska <
leneral Richardson said, so that the
ountry can be settled and fully deeloped.

1 New Constitution Before I A
Texas Assembly
Austin, Tex., Dec. 22.?A consti|
tutionul convention, radical changes Jt
in state tax laws and the educational J
system, reclamation and flood control,
alteration oi highway laws and V
relocation of the state prison, arc
among the matters that will come be- &
fore the Texas legislature at its Jan- ^
uary meeting, according to state- JT
meats from leaders of the two f
branches. W
The attorney general already has
prepared a measure for the creation A
of a new constitution, designed to ^
replace the present one written in JL
ls76* i
Proposed changes in the state tax jr
laws are due to a deficiency in the *8*
general revenue fund this year at
times amounting to more than two A
million dollars. Many Texas schools ^
may be forced to close early next Jt
spring because of the shortage of J
state funds. An emergency appro- ^
priation and an increase in state ailotnient
for the schools are advocat- <8
ed. A
Separation of the state banking
and insurance departments has been J
endorsed by the state bankers asso
ciation and other statewide bodies. V
Klood control measures are advised ?8
by Governor Neff. who recently led a A
movement to work out such propos ^
ais' ?<
There is also some agitation for "x
the presentation of a soldiers' bonus
measure. ^
Hang Lamps in i J|
Church to Perpetuate
Memory of Deceased
<5
Papeete, Tahiti, Dec. 23.?A curi
ous custom exists among the natives ^
of the island of Kaiatea (the chief
island of the Leeward Group of the
Society Islands) to preserve the
memory of deceased relatives. In the ?
large church at Uturoa, the princi
pal settlement on that island, will be
seen a great number of brass hang- gj
ing lamps hanging from brackets all
about the building. Each of these
i has been presented by some native
family in memory of some beloved jj
member of the clan who has died,
and they constitute a memorial such
as a bronze tablet or a stained glass
window would represent in European ?
countries. > Al
Physical Handicaps no
Obstacle to His Success
2(
Washington, Dec. 23.?Nature's
handicaps are no obstacle to many
people and the most shining example
is that of B. A. oJnes of Burlington,
Mo., who, born wihtout legs, has
driven a rural mail delivery route ^ouc _
of that twiv-V nauly4?Mity,yjtoa -t*.
and never complained.
Jones' route was a standardlength
one of 25.6 miles out of Burlington,
and since 1901, when he was
appointed, he has missed only four
days from the job, and those because 1 <
of illness.
So interested were Post Office Department
officials, who only recently
had his case called to their attention,
that Assistant Postmaster General
Billany wrote him a letter of con
gratulation for his efficient service
"performed in spite of a physical de ?
feet that well might have discouraged
a person of less fortunate temperament,
and with less determina
tion to succeed in life." Before becoming
a letter carrier, Jones was a
farmer.
"It seems to me," Mr. Billany wrote
Mr. Jones, "that your success may be
not only interesting to all carriers,
but an inspiration to any one wh >
may feel that he is laboring under
unusual or insuperable difficulties and r
an encouragement to them to press |
on in the performance of duties whi h (
choice or circumstances may require
[of him." \!1

Hospital For "Wounded" ,
Mail Has Many Stories
Washington, Dec. 23.?A hospital
in which the next-of-kin seldom, if
ever, are visitors; a hospital where
casualties multiply at Christmas '
time when all the rest of the world
is presumed to be glad?such is th.- (J
hospital for "wounded mail" main (
tained at every postoffice of importance.
(
Patients at these hospitals are the
innocent victims of those who arc ^
supposed to love them most?even
though they are sending them to oth (J
ers. They are the ties between i.
friends and relatives, yet because of t
a little carelessness on the part or* b
the senders, they fail to complete th? t
link, and broken themselves, often
hecome the causes of broken hearts '"O
for those who fail to receive them r
Some of the packages are repaired e
.vumi uick nuuiesses alter c
Christmas. Others must be returned e
to the senders for re-packing and re 8
addressing. S'ill others, and far too 11
many, must be sent to the morgue-- *
in this case the Dead T.etter Office? ?
destined never to perform th" serv- ((?
ice for which they were intended.
The department's phrases of warn
ing evidently have become to many e
mere meaningless phrases, it was 8<
naid, for no other interpretation can
be advanced after a visit to a post
vflice hospital where stack upon stack ^
>f love tokens remain as mute evi
lence of lack of care.
All this, also, it was added, means
nore and unnecessary work for thrt
ostal employee. ^

I^ausanne conference, ami are assisting
the poets, philosophers, historians,
antiquarians and statesmen
of Levantine delegations, in solving
. Near Eastern problems.
Djellaladine Arif Bey, representaI
tive of the Angora government at
Rome, constantly carries a strand of
large red beads which he lingers ner
vously while discussing how the Bosr ,
fhorus and the Dardanelles should be
disposed of. , .
Other members of the large Turkish

a leaser degree they are used by othsr
Near. Eastern delegations. (
Levantines cannot relieve I their
'1 'elfhokssn.by twirling thehr^tnumbr

the manner of Westerners. They

'heir brains can function, or at least'

, Russia Favorably Inclined
To Return of Emigrants
I i
Moscow, Dec. 23.?Ludwig Mar- J
tens, former Soviet representative in |
' America, has become chairman of a j
special commission organized by the \
Soviet government to assist in the j
return to Russia of Russian -Ameri- |
cms and Russian "doukhobors" fnom ,
Canada.
More than 20,000 Russian-Americans
already have come back to Russia
from America during the last
two years. The grea'er part of these
men are agricultural workers, and
hey have bought with them agricultural
implements valued at $50,000.
A big scheme is now on foot to
bring from Canada between 30,000
and 40,000 "doukhobors," men wh?
under persecution were forced to emigrate
from Russia in 1895. These
families intend to bring with thent
their entire property, consisting of
agricultural implements, tractors and
livestock. The Soviet government is
assigning to them 25,000 acres in
the Ukraine. In addition to the existing
Soviet laws exempting conscientious
objectors from military serv- 5
ice, the central executive commlttea
of Soviets has given to the delegates
of this sect, who recently came to
Moscow to carry on negotiations,* a ^
signed undertaking exempting their
whole community from military serv- j
ices and all other duties connected n
with the bearing of arms.

of A, Lunatcharsky, commis- . 1*
ir for education. he
During .the first two years of th? ex
evolution, public education was giv- *ri
n much attention by the Soviet gov- an
rnment, and the number of public n
hools was brought up to '80,000 wiLh d
staff of 70,000 teachers and 2,260, du
)0pupils, ac compared wiht 22,000 le
:hools, 82,000 teachers and 1,300009 o
iiplls in 1911. But in 1921, with the hi
lange of economic policy and the
jolition of the non-monetary sysira,
came the first reduction of excises
in education and curtailment
' public schools. In 1922 a further
imber of schools had to be closed,
i account of budget difficulties,
hfle'many schools were deserted b7
>eir staffs owing to insufficient and
regular pay.
At the present ttme, according to
Official figures, there are 28,000
hools, 48,000' teachers and 1,635,0
pupils. But 1928 Is expected to
&w1 a decrease, for- the goreiimieat
ill place the cost of upkeep of pubschools
upon local authorities, an J II
