They knew that which they were seeking, but they knew not how nor when it h.auIJ ie shown to them. They sought the spirit of service that should mean to countless millions following after, "Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men." Associated together in the Am erican eLgion for service to God and Country, bound by ties of sen ice together in dangerous times, this day of days should mean as much to us. We know its message and our duty is clear before us. Thousands of our comrades lie broken and sick for whom the war can never end. Our first duty is to them and our star the white light of our conscience guides us there, while we fight for then proper recognition by a willing but forgetful nation. Let us make this Christmas r-- i starting point in our personal service to them. Those of us who were fortunate enough to come back untouched can. if only by our presence be side them and those they hold dear, sometime on that day, give them assurance that we have not and shall not forget. It is no more than we would expect from them, were our positions reversed. There may be things which can be done for them, not in charity but as one buddy to another. If there are, let us do them. And if during the holidays each one can find employment for even one of the thousands of ex-service men who are tramping the streets of our cities looking for work, no better Christmas present could come to them. It will make Christmas Day mean more to us all, and may yours be a happy one. Newest picture of Hanford Mac Neider.

A Page In History Let us climb a tree and look down at the world, figuratively speaking. For thousands of years the human race has been milling around divid ing itself into groups as it chose or as racial characteristics directed. Geographical boundaries formed themselves naturally as a result of mountains, climatic conditions, seas, deserts and other causes beyond the control of man. As a result a world map was final ly evolved made up of many people many countries, many laws and many customs, with traditions or causes back of each, which were en tirely beyond the control of any man or group of individuals. The Treaty of Versailles was formed by man to satisfy personal ot national aims of individuals or coun tries by dividing up the world's ar rangement as seemed suitable to the occasion, regardless of economic in fluences which had been building up thousands of years. The result has been broken boundaries, broken na tions, broken people and new gov ernments without the stability that comes with generations devoted to the formative period. Economic relations between na tions and peoples are slowly drifting back to the interrupted channels which they followed previous to the world war. Races cannot be mixed, world harbors cannot be changed, mountains cannot be moved and trade routes take certain natural courses just as water runs down hill. Human beings may dam a stream for the time being but if the water thus impounded if not afforded an outlet the ultimate pressure will either go over the dam or wash it out entire ly. So far as maa-made laws are good they will gradually be absorbed in the economic changes taking place as the world sweeps on in its march of progress. We have been mark ing time since 1918 waiting for nat ural laws of supply and demand and normal production and competition to take the place of artificial barriers and restrictions by which various na tions have attempted to lift them selves by heir boot straps. The conference on the limiting of armament offers the greatest benefit to mankind that has come out of the Portland papers seem to be just a little alarmed over the manifest disposition of a great many of the legislators at Salem to turn down the presenting of the Portland fair bill to the people. The up-state mem-; bers are inclined to listen to the dic tates of their consciences, and the great, majority outside ,of . Portland are opposed to additional tax bur-' dens. However, the metropolis is going to bring all possible pressure ! to bear to have the question submit-! ted to the people, and they are fully1 organized to "put it over." j 1 A current yarn about a liquor-lov-1 ing Irishman has a smile in it. "Fa-; ther," said he, on meeting the parish i priest one day, "phwat is lumbago?"! Seeing an opportunity for needed re-' proof, the good father replied: "Tis a terrible disease which comes from ' drinking up booze and chasing ar- j ound nights." j "Is that so?" said Pat.

If we help guide the mind of man along lines of con structive peaceful endeavor, we will have helped make a step forward in the march of civilization. The Manufacturer. NEGLECT! Who Pays?
