lucky if lie had a Christmas
dinner at all.
France, England, Italy and
America will unite in discus
sing the peace terms. Ger
many's comments can probably
be classified by dropping the
syllable "dis."
One of .the largest employers
of labor in Germany says that
country is "facing the blackest
ruin and worst calamity that
lias befallen any country for
two thousand years." As they
have sown su must they reap.
Answerii.fc! a question -The
republicans win because they
stick together at election time,
and after election they just
keep right on sticking together.
In a financial way I hey get all
they can out of the opposition
and use it to defeat the hand
that generously gives.
There are over forty-nine
million acres sown to winter
wheat in the United States.
Aild thus far it is in most prom
ising condition. This is almost
one sixth more than last year
and if favorable conditions con
tinue this country can feed the
world without pinching its; own
people.

The movies have developed
from what was at first little
more than a photo-mechanical
curiosity to a great factor in
stage evolution. With "Fatty"
Arbuckle and Charlie Chaplin
at one extreme and Mary Pick
ford and Theda Bara at the
other, they mirror the public
taste. As the grnphophone
brings to our ears the world's
greatest music, so the movies
bring to our eyes scenery and
plays otherwise unattainable.

The New Year looms close
ahead, and it is time to think
about resolutions. Pick out a

them are broken. Wishing you
