Of the old by candlelight.
He has itlfts and Kills for the young; and

And he has the love to his latest day
Of dad and mother and me.

Stnootn is tile icy mere.
The short, licet days bo hurrying past
To the last of the waning year.
And never was rose of the summer's prime
So loyally fair to see
As the rose that blooms in the winter's
rime
For dad and mother and me.

Whut of Your Chrlst'inus Spirit?
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.

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.
