COMPL1MKXTARIES. The tlme-honpred custom of news paper exchange is being discontinued by the metropolitan press. Now the city papers ask that the country pa pers subscribe for their publications for cash, and in turn the city paper subscribes for the country paper, if Observe Christmas Despite War Times Just now two widely divergent streams of economic thought are seeking outlet to the desired sea of success for freedom's cause. One flows la the direction of abnormal economy. Its trend is towards a com plete reversal of every buying habit on which trade and industry have hitherto thrived. "Cut out every thing except absolute necessaries, and minimize these," say Its advo cates. "Wear old clothes, forswear entertainment, shun even the thought of luxuries, and lend every cent you can to the government." The other as sincerely desirous of upholding Uncle Sam suggests less revolutionary methods. "Spend free- they want It. That makes it hard on the country papers, for in many in- iy but wisely," is Its advice.

The stock in trade of a newspaper Is subscriptions and adver tising. It Is not business to give either away. That Is the only thing It has to sell to raise cash for cost of production. Along with others, it has been the custom of the Tidings to give compli mentary copies to commercial clubs and libraries. The changing condi tions have made this exceedingly un profitable, for it Is found not only to lose the cash for the single compli mentary, but the newspaper is read by many patrons of the commercial club and library who should be sub scribers to the publication, but who are not willing to pay for something they can get for nothing. Therefore it has been found expedi ent to charge these Institutions the regular subscription price for the pa per. Beginning January 1, 191 S, the Tidings will discontinue all such com-plimentaries.

Just what is community co-operation, anyhow? Who does It benefit? How does it help the individual? Let us see.

But Christmas is coming! Tha season of gifts, delights and luxurloa is close at hand, and thousands of people are perplexed as to their duty In this time of war. The old and wonderful spirit of Christmas is re vived by these bright December days, as for hundreds of years. Into nearly every heart steals a yearning to be getting things for others, so that for one day, at least, the light of love and friendship may reign supreme. But this will be our first war Christmas, and the question' of what to do with it looms large on millions of mental horizons. War time is a time above all other times for the cheer and the spirit of good will that Christmas, when it is given a chance, will bring. If war-time enonomy bldi a curtailment of gifts, it need have no etfect upon their meaning and valua. In every home where there is a child, and in every home where there Is a possibility of doing for children without homes, preparations should be made for as nearly a normal Christmas as circumstances will per mit. One of the fundamental reasons for making this particular Christmas a normal one is that ahead of the children lies a world-wide readjust ment which will demand the most ac tive exercises of the best traditions that can be carried over from what, even now, is the past. And to ask or expect that they should' approach that unprecedented responsibility without the guiding and guarding in fluence of childhood's first friend would be to reveal an attitude out of keeping with the spirit of the strug gle now being waged. The future has to be met, whatever it may be. The present is the only time to live, and there Is no time so dark that it is not worth while to cel ebrate Christmas. slow degrees the world would be you and all your neighbors fight for brought to a realization of the fact ! progress the surer you are to reap that but one human attribute can i the good that progressive team-worss A good, wide-awake town is fit-on 1 m ioL'un inti Mm try a a r knvnml !

USEFUL GIVING CHRISTMAS this year should represent THQUGI1TFULNESS and CAREFULNESS, the first in respect to giving, the second relative to keeping.

And this year the wonder grows, for even with war needs crowding in on every side, and with the boldest of determinations to eliminate our ordinary giving, we find ourselves just hankering to go out and ge; something for others. Vou may say smart merchants have had a good deal to do with this, but no merchant was ever born who could make us feel the way we begin feeling about thi time of year. It isn't simply the spirit of giving that gets hold of us. It's the spirit of forgiving and forgetting forgetting mean little things that we have car ried through months, or maybe years. It's the spirit of otherness of step ping out of self for a time and gladly leasing our top stories to Mr. and Mra A. L. Truism and their big fam ily of children.
