The spirit of Christinas, its the ideal ists have It, is not recognizable by the rt'Ml tiling, according to modern meth ods. Theoretically everything Is. bright. gay, full of peace for oneself and good wislies for the rest of the world. Actually Christmas may nieau any thing like tills: Urndging giving aud discontented re ceiving. Splurging on one's rich frietids and stinting where it is not likely to count. Overgenerosity to the point of ex travagance. Mushing until you detest Christmas and everything connected with It. Overworked nerves and overwrought tempers from a false conception of Christinas giving. - A generous spirit for your own Jra mediale circle and utter indifference to whether any one else has a happy day. Corging oneself in the interest of Christmas cheer with no thought of a tortured digestion and rockiness of the clay after. A Christmas with not one thought to the real meaning of the day and what the world would have been had there been no "birthday of a king" to cele brate. Christmas All Year. A spirit of generosity pervades the Yuletide atmosphere. It is kuowu and practiced at no other season of the year us at Christmas. It is felt in every city, in every town, iu every village, iu the entire country, l'eople are prone to be more thought ful. Men manifest desires to spread good cheer; women weave little acts of love, kindness and devotion into Christmas good will; children cherish their companions iiud fortunes. Per sons unconsciously instill into each other a desire to distribute happiness everywhere. It all comes on tbP wings of that Indefinable thing under stood by few. but referred to by many as the Christinas .spirit. It is invisible, but can be seen; it is not material, but can be felt. It comes every Christ mas. but too often leaves to return perhaps next year, when the real holi day spirit again is felt. Why does this fellowship of love and good will depart from the souls of so many persons on the wings of time? Why does not the same spirit remain In the atmosphere after men again as stiine their routine of work and wo men become normal after their Christ mas cares and worries? Would it not be a good thiug if this same Christmas spirit could continue throughout the twelve months of the year? Would it not be a good tiling for mankind if all stopped to think of others as they do during the Yuletide season, if all endeavored to fill the lives of their friends, acquaintances and the less fortunate with good cheer and happiness throughout winter and sum mer, spring and autumn? Try this for next year. Make it one of vour resolutions, and if one resolves to do all in his power to make others happy throughout the entire, twelve month, no other resolutions will be necessary to assure one of happiness. After all is said and done the only real happiness Is derived from making oth ers hupp.v. xRf Because the Farmers of Morrow County raised the Bluestem that made it the richest milling wheat in the Inland Empire. Don't let your dealer hoodoo you into using cheap flour made from cheap grades of wheat by outside mills. Use the Flour made from your own wheat and get the best.
