SAVING GOODBYE: Finally,
brethren, farewell, lie perfect, bt
of good comfort,-be of mind, live in
peace: and the God of love and peace
shall be with you. 2 Corinthian.

Hooch is a compound of hell-fire,

The Christmas Spirit
"It's only three days, the shortest days in the year, till Christ
' mas." In a practical way it is well to remember that the chief fes
f tivul of the Christian world is only, a little way 'down the road.
' Santa Clans' outline is almost visible over the chimneyed horizon.
the sound of the tinkle of hi3 sleigh-bells is nearly audible. It is
. time for doing what there is to be done in preparation for the
holiday. Shopping early is a good piece of business, early in thif
last period, early in the morning of each shopping day. It will be
to the advantage of the buyer, to the pleasure of the seller and foi
the relief of the overworked store forces. ,
, ; ' ' ; 1 ' '
All the systematic work done in avaiicp of thcji'ush to avoir
the confusion that sometimes makes Christmas iivd ii'.holTor and
the Christmas day onejn which there isW rest and delight be
cause one is all in and tired out will not be its best unless then
is a flavor of the Christmas spirit through it all. In the rush ai!(
confusion, if there must be such, in the crowds that surge througl
the stores, in the jam and push of the street throngs, take tin
Christmas'lesson to heart for use in the advance days and bi
; pleasant lie patient with the clerks and the delivery men;-be
courteous to the folks you buy from; be pleasant to the jostler:
who almost knock the parcels from your aims as they stumble
themselves package-laden, on the street ; use the smile that help
everylhwly over every stressful time and some distressful times.
Indeed, there are opportunities this week for more effective
and leneficient use of the Christmas spirit in its fine' unselfisl
expression than there will be next week alter the day's clima:
is over.- It will not be regarded by Santa Clans as in any way vio
lative of his rules of "don't peep" to use "liefore" Christmas tin
sariie cheer, the same unselfishness, the same courtesy, the sail)'
thoughtfuhiess, the same spirit of "giving happiness" that ym
wilj use ,on Christmas day. I'erhaps the good Saint will allow ;
liberal Miscount for the real and genuine Christmas maimer if i
is put into circulation "before" Christmas dav, when it is ueedef

'! Is General John J. Pershing's warning for military prepared
ness the opeJi judication of a reactionary movement against paci
ficism?,; May the same construction be given to Secretary of tin
Navy Denby's assertion that the American Navy shall be seconc
to none?
' Heretofore the prevailing sentiment lunong business men anci
the people has favored a military organization simply large and
strong enough to protect the government and preserve the peace
The unforgettable horrors of the most horrible of wars and the
widespread demand for lastin'g pcaccv,engendered this soothing,
charitable spirit.
Gen. Pershing's admonition nndi Secretary Denby's assertion
are not reactionary. They are common sense utterances. Thej
constitute necessary wise ailvioe to prevent idealism and sympathy
from, overmastering our. judgment. .

H is an odd spectacle, that of Mussolini, who headed a revolu

Soviet government be allowed to participate- in the Lausanne
conference.

has as much right to share in that conference as anv nation in
Luropc, and more right than America.
Russia is intimately and permanently interested in the Turk
