/ Christmas Lore*.
—--
Christmas i s observed in commem
oration of the birth of Jesus Christ,
but it is really a day set apart for
the celebration of an event rather
than an actual anniversary. While
among the masses Christmas is sup
posed to be the birthday of the Sav-
ior ? scholars and educated persons
generally understand that the day, or
«ven the year, cf Christ’s birth is not
^definitely known.
: The date, December 25th, approxi
mates that of the Roman Saturnalia,
the winter festival of the heathen
Britons, the Scandinavian Yule and
the later Roman festival of the sun-
god Mithra.
Christmas having become through
the centuries an almost universal fes
tival, it is but natural that many odd
<UBtoms and superstitions N should
"have been connected with it s obser-
"Vajice in various countries and at va-
tious periods.
One of the oldest superstitions was
that animals were endowed with the
power of speech on Christmas. Ac
cording to another, persons bom on
that day were destined to be lucky
•H their lives. A Polish version was
that what one did on Christmas would

Another discovery which may prove
a great boon to humanity is reported
from Calcutta by the noted Indian
•cieRUet, Sir Jagadaah Boa*, who
claims to have developed a powerful
heart stimulant which has restored
life after all heart action had ceased
The new dr\g la derived from a
plant found in the Himalaya moun
tain a, and its discoverer predicts that
it will in time supersede such heart
■timuianta aa strychnine and digitalis.
Information concerning the new
stimulant i »a« yet meager, but Sir
Jagmdash's scientific reputation it
said to be such as to inspire confidence
that a movt valuable therapeutic agent
has been developed.
Mr. Ford has already promised to
raise the wages of all his employees.

see that the wage* of the guys who
| buy his cars are raised. The nut turn-
' ers and hole borers and fender makers I mebbe get less.

it, he will finish “rubbing” and go
back to work. Then the high salaries
will start.

TREASURER’S TAX NOTICE
Why Women Are Late.
From time immemorial hu'bands
have complained of the long time it
tock their wives to dress; men have
observed that women did not heed
the flight of time, but carried on
seemingly interminable telephone con
versations without raizing how long
they talked and so on.
This apparent lack of regard for
time by the fair sex has been the
source cf endless comment—often pro
fane. But now it has all been ex
plained, thanks to modern psycholo
gy.
Exhaustive tests conducted at Johns
Hopkins University show that w’omen
just naturally cant help it. They
don’t realize the meaning of “tempus
fugit.”
These tests developed the fact that
women on an average estimate the
time it takes them to perform a given
ta-k at about one-half the actual time
required. Dr. Isabel Stewart, who
conducted the tests, which were made
with 1,084 students, both men and
women, said:
“Men estimate more accurately. The
inaccuracies of women imply that
time really seems shorter to women
than to men.”
Which recalls the joke of ,a para-
grapher who wrote: “Married men
do not live longer; it just seems long
er.”
The farmers will be directed also to
get busy. They thould take this dull
time to build bams and paint houses
The proposed 160-mill-on-dollar “tax
cut” proposed by congrvsi will bene
fit less than one-tenth of 1 per cent of
the taxpayers of the United States.
The taxes which must be pttd on
farm lands and sales and dwelling*
end cuthouaes, eac., will remain the
same, unless they go higher. This
"cut” will help the man who is al
ready making mors money than he
can decently spend. The “painful**
tax is the local tax levied on property,
and not on incomes. That kind of tax

Hoover Prosperity, Omtinued.
Here’s hoping that ifr. Hoover's
plan to maintain (?) prosperity <**)
win pan out. The town sand the dtiee
of bonds on his farm, and by this
method he can keep all of his tenants

tunes get better. He can make hie
hena lay faster and his cows give more
milk and his dogs catch more rabbits
and his pig root deeper than ever. If
the country is saved, according to the
republican*, we must cooperate till the
farm relief board disbands.
The garages should put in new ma
chinery and work longer on the cars
of their customers. Extra help must
be hired at all filling stations. Now
is the time to build bigger and bettv-r
movie and talkie houses. Folk* snould
shave and shine oftenej*. Hotel pa
trons should order porterhouse steaks
instead of soup. Installment agents

week, and not twice as at present.
past 15 years, and the end ain t yet.
Citizens of the United States: Put
your shoulder* to the wheel. Help Mr.
Hoover with his wave of piosperityv
Mr. Mellon has promised to reduce the
income tax rate. That will help him
and Mr, Rockefeller/and the like. Lo
cal taxes shall be raised so’s enough
money can be paid in by the folks who
are able to pay, as t)ie other half can’t
pay any at al^l And while all of this
is going on, the price of cotton and
catton-seed/and other farm produce
foil continue to decline in sympathy
with stocks. (I respectfully ask that
Mr.* Hoover democrats not read this
article. I don’t want to make them
feel any worse.)
There are two things I have never
been guilty of, visxly: writing poetry
and gambling in stocks. * It takes
sense to wirte poetry and dollars to
gamble, therefore—my two reasons
of tbs
1 don't want to appear serious all
of a sudden, but this long-dreas style
seems to be an inevitable menace.
Knee* are gradually disappearing in
spite of their beauty. Unless she’s
sitting dowp, there ain’t much use
to gaze even now. I never seriously
objected to this change when the
thing wa s first proposed, but I un-
deistood then that the skirts would
be only one-fourth of an inch longer,
but derned if it don’t look to me like
it is* nearer a half inch. Well, the
style producers have to have some
thing to hem and ha about.
Uncle Joe is thinking seriously of
going in to the air (hot-air) service,
that is—he is laying his plans to run
for the legislature next yearl He
has been flying around some already,
and nearly a dozen men have agreed
to vote for him if he will veto the
stamp tax on plug tobacco and snuff,
all of which he promises. Uncle J^e
is all wrought up about taxes and
believes they ought to be repealed
except on rich folks and “coppera-
tions.” Really and truly, Uncle Joe
sounds right politick-ey to me, and
if he will keep on cussing the govern
ment and congress and the League of
Nations, and learn how to eat with
a knife and for.k, and stop snoring,
he will turn out to be the people’s
friend when he lands in the House.
(This does not mean poor house.)
