To every man, woman and child in
Morrow county and the world at
lai-f.'o the Herald today extends the
compliments of the season with our
best wishes for a right merry Christ
mas and a very happy and prosperous
New Year.
The past year has dealt kindly
with Morrow county people bringing
to them a plentiful measure of prog
ress and prosperity. Having shared
in this period of prosperity the Her
ald would be an ingrate indeed If it.
failed to remember its blessings and
acknowledge its gratitude for the
many manifestations of good the old
year has brought.
While the general arrangement f
things may not suit all of us down
to the last little detail we must a1
admit that, taken by and large, it is a
pretty good old world we live in an
it is up to all of us, individually an
collectivey to make it better w
each succeeding year. This we car
perhaps best do by striving to cany
witli us through the year the
spirit of Christmas Which is nothing
if not the practical exemplification o!
the doctrine taught and practiced by
the Man of (Jalilee: "On Karth Peace;

f Sri -tiCj Krlra Business 01 war,
pRl nJl uni1 uml,;r the 'sl)Ur ' con
(A wllA I nervation rilens wrnnirlv nn-
'ffii derstood, there is danger
f''--i this veur that something of
the Christmas spirit will be
lost. Never before has It been more
important that it should not be. The
Christmas spirit as well as civilization
und liberty must be saved. The world
is in the midst of a war that is wrench
ing men's hearts; a nation that has
made peace its emblem is throwing it
self and every resource into the con
flict; on all sides sons have purted
from mothers and fathers; news of
casualties is being received. Under
such circumstances it might be natural
for the weak to yield to depression.
This must not he. There is a brave
and cheery side to the picture, which
must be kept constantly in our hearts
and minds.
Preserving and accelerating the
Christmas splrli of other years will
help do this; omission of the usual
acts of kindness and generosity will
add needlessly to the depression that
all ure trying to drive from them.
Hearts were never In greater need of
cheering than this yeur. Nor was
there ever greater need for an outlet
of the spirit of kindness and generos
ity In man. We are engaged In the un
pleasant business of bringing to her
senses by force a brutal government.
That Is the task of the hour. But it
should not be permitted to blind our
eyes to the things wholly of the spirit,
to dull sensibilities Into disregard of
obligations less presslngly important,
but equally essential to the preserva
tion of the finest type of American
manhood ami womanhood. That Is
why charities in war times should be
more generously supported than in
days of peace; why this Christinas
should be made, if possible, cheerier
und happier than any Christmas that
has gone before
There are some people who cannot
afford to observe this (TirltfMims as
ihey have observed It In years pre
ciii.i;.' There are others who can liet
Ici aiiinil in pe generous than i-Vci.
All should give In proportion. llieve
is no reason why they should not, anil
e-ery reason why they should. Not li
do bo v ,11 Pe unpatriotic and Bullish.

The Price of
Pork Chops and Bacon
Here are reasons why the fine,
fresh pork tenderloins and pork
chops, or savory ham, or crinkly
bacon, which you enjoy for break
fast, cost much more per pound
than the market quotation on live
hogs which you read in the
newspaper:
An average hog weighs 220
pounds.
Of this, only 70 per cent (154
pounds) is meat and lard.
So, when we pay 15 a pound for
live hojs, we are really paying more
than 2iy a pound for the meat which
ve will get from these animals, even
niter taking into account the value of
the by-products.
But people show a preference for
only or.o-third of the whole the pork
chops, fancy bacon, and choica cuts
from juicy hams.
This moans that when we are sell
ing Premium bacon at 43'i?per pound
wholesale and Premium hams at 30,
there are other parts for which we get
as low as 6 or 8f per pound. The
net result is an average profit to us of
less than U h pound.
The choice cuts are higher because
of n demand for them.
Another thing: Only 35 pounds of the
entire hog or about l6th is usually
marketed at once. The rest must be
pickled, cured, or smoked. This takes
months, and adds to the costs which
must be met.
