Ob, pause beside the weary road and bear the angels sing. The glad old soDg of peace is the lame today as it was centuries ago, the day on which it was sung means as much to the world now, as it did then, and once more we welcome it with ita coed will and cheer. Santa Claus is busy and it is time for old and young and rich and poor to throw aside all care, forget all atrife and live anew, to enjoy the giving and receiving, which it a part of the Christmas joy. It is the children's day, we older folk should live for them. In this land of beautiful firs, a tree should ornament each and every home, it means so much to the little folks, it will be among their sweetest memories when childhood days are past. The little candle lights which now bring forth shouts of glee will one day brightfcu some dark path way in the older life. We hope old St. Nick will not forget one single stocking, especi ally those of the poor. Have we all helped him to remember by substan tial suggestions?

The Cottage Grove creamery, which has only been established here for some four months, commen cing to make butter in September, has proved itself to be in line for tht prize, not alone on butter, but for general success, which is largely due to the man who owns and oper ates it, Mr. F. G. Stiver, who has Made of his business a close study. He was a student at the Minnesota Agricultural college for two years where he took a diploma and at Rutland, Dakota, where he opera ted a creamery for some time, he won the championship of the state for the finest butter and creamery products. Duriag the three months which the creamery has run, Mr. Stiller has paid the farmers 3i cents per pound for butter fat, making a total of $1275.34, which is a wel come addition to the earnings of the fanners. In September I30& pounds of butter was made, in October 13i 1 pounds and in November 149s pounds, and by spring he expects to tnrn out five or six times as much batter per month and to add to the creamery a cheese and ice cream factory. 21 rforeee Day Blacksmith Baker and his helper Al Hamloth are proud of their record of shoeing 21 horses in a single day, be sides whieh they had to drive 17 miles to the working point and back again afterwards, and were right on time, bright and early the next morning.

Mr. Lurch conducts a general merchandise store, and while his buiiding is not at all pretentious, yet after one has gone through it and asked for most anything on earth, or any place else, and gotten it, without even going into the long line of warehouses behind tne store, you begin to think there are at least a few things in the store.

But it iH still necessary, in spite of the publicity occasioned ly recent exposures ol fraudulent American companies operating iu Mexico, to warn the people of the Fnited States against Mexican investments, especially in mining and agricul ture, except as the result of careful investigation. We know at home at home that since tho Spaniards began, some four hundred years ago to exploit the miueial deposits of Mexico, tuousanus fi minions or dollars worth of precious metals have been mined; that for example, nearly one-third of the silver now existing iu the world came from the mines of Mexico, aue that today many of these mines are heavy pro ducers of tbis aud and of other pre cious metals.
