We will all agree that 1926, after all, has not been so bad, and we are coming to its close with much to be thankful for; we shall therefore, face the New Year with hopes revived and expectations aroused for even better things. May all good things come to the people of our county and every laudable desire be realized, is .our further wish. We Should be Truly Grateful. rpHE prodigious prosperity of . America has not been sluiced off by a small group of powerful industrial magnates, but has been scattered n ia golden shower far and wide. among all classes and to such an extent that to speak of classes at all in the United States seems to the European an anach ronism. The rising curve of wages has enabled the American worker to boost his standard fo living. He can now actually buy one-quarter as much again with his weekly pay as he did before the war. The radio aerials on almost ev ery house in New York are mute markers of the" advance of Amer ican labor. Never before were the comforts even luxuries so widely diffused among men. The passion for technical im provement, or efficiency, into which the pioneering spirit of Am erica has been transmuted, is ex emplified, among other ways, by the application of electric power to a degree never before known in any land. New bonds aggregating $250, 000,000 were sold during the first week of December, the largest volume of any week for the year. Prices also were the highest, and there were not enough to fill the demand. Much of this new buying was with money newly earned, show ing the prosperity of the country. It comes from every stratum of society and industry; it defies classification as wages, interest, savings, profits it is the net re sult of an almost universal pros perity. The new year promises to come in with no outstanding feature save its widespread prosperity But that alone will make it nota ble in American history. The Manufacturer.

The Lonely Old Lady'$ Christmas Valentin THE lonely old lady sat la th twilight as the evening star looked through the window and wondered why she" seemed so sad. The star was bright enough that Christmas Eve to guide anyone to gladness, but she who sat then did not appear to know It. There were yet a few sparks amid the ashes of the hearth fire, and warmth had not wholly departed from the room ; there were points of light In the maze of memories that kept the past alive, and at heart the silent thinker was not cold; but darkness was creeping over solitude, and time was regis tering age, and the old lady was lonely. There was a picture on the wall of one who had been the strength and Joy of earlier days, but years had passed over his grave in a distant land. ' There were other pictures look ing down upon her with young and happy faces, but they were pictures of children who had blessed other homes, placed about to keep com pany with her dream children, and reminding her now again that she had none. So the star might have known that there was reason for penslve ness as It tried to penetrate the gathering gloom and the mystery. But whether It learned the secret or not, It witnessed as it watched, a light in the dim room. For she had taken from a portfolio her must precious possession, and she was smiling upon It. It was an old valentine, the last that she had re ceived from him who had never re turned. It was inscribed "To My Valentine." Upon It sat Cupid. In a wreath of forget-me-nots, holding a high pyramid of large roses over a large, circular spider web, with two hearts entangled In itl The star must have recognized that It was Bhlnlng upon the death lessness of love, and helping it to share the Christmas fellowship and cheer. Christopher O. Hazard. (. IB J. Western Newspaper Union.) Christmas Greens The custom of hanging ever greens In the house during the yule tide originally had a purpose be yond that of decoration. In olden days each kind of evergreen was believed to confer special blessings on those who passed beneath Its boughs. To pass under holly In sured good fortune throughout the year, bay meant victory, while lau rel was supposed to Impart a spirit of beauty and poetry.

CHRISTMAS ftf LONERIDGE 1 6V GERTRUDE SjteW ALTON '"pHIS man says we are here I for the night, and no way out, of It. We're twenty-live miles from John's, too. Repairs will have to be brought four miles from Coal town. Those huts down the hill bar long to the Loneridge coal mines. The miners will have guests to night," Mr. Long announced as he drew some tools, from his automo bile. The mine mechanic who had been procured when Mr. Long had walked to one of the shanties dow.n the long winding hill when his car had refused to go, smiled and In formed Mr. and Mrs. Long that he would find a place for them to stay for the night. It was the afternoon before Christmas, when they were on their way to Mrs. Long's brother John's country home, where the Long chil dren had gone the day before with Mrs. Long's sister's family, to be present at the family Christmas Eve festivities, with a large tree by the fireplace for the families of five brothers and sisters with parents of both Mr. and Mrs. Long. In the car were gifts not only for the Long children, but for most of the other relatives. After telephoning from the mine foreman's office to John's family that they must spend the night at Loneridge, the packages were carried to one of the better looking huts of the foreign-speaking folks who received them hospitably. During tiie evening, while the hos tess was preparing the meal, the woman "by means of signs and un intelligible English made Mrs. Long understand that there was little Christmas festivity in the mining town. "This woman has shown me cour tesy and kindness; here Is an op portunity to prove some Christmas courage and character," Mrs. Long whispered to her husband as plans began percolating through her mind. Soon the children were helping dec orate the small tree which Mrs. Long had brought from hoc hus band's store for younger members of the relatives' families, as well as her own children. Mrs. Schlaska popped corn, Christmas tree trim mings, oranges,, nuts, candy, and candles were produced from among the packages In the car, and a hur ried trip to a small store enlarged the stock of goodies. The children, taking turns In carrying the tree with Mr. and Mrs. Schlaska, Mr. and Mrs. Long stnrted out. Every house with boys and girls, aged or sick ones, was visited. The tree was placed on a table or chair, candles lighted for a moment while some goodies were distributed. After a visit to each place, the family was Invited to accompany this Christmas cheer companjr while ; ' 'IBora atherint delman is wrought again. of God is bora whole wide world faith and love there wakes anew fear have fled, id serve, istmas peace and love id cheer tO 1916, Wcucn Ncwtf-pcr Uik. carols were suns outside and Inside until everyone was so happy that some shouted while others cried for Joy. One dear woman after listen lng to the story of the significance of the Yuletlde season which some had made Mf. Long understand they wished to learn, drying her eyes on the corner of a faded apron, called Mrs. Long an "h-angel." The glad notes of the 'Christmas caroling soon renched the farther ends of Loneridge, whose Inhabitants joined In a community Christmas as they made their way to the large engine house where the tree was placed In the center while they sang patriotic songs. Then, while sacred quietness reigned, Mrs. Long repeated the Christmas story, after which Mr. Long led softly In singing, "All Is calm, all Is bright," when some one touched Mrs. Long on the sleeve. It was her brother, John, who was waiting In his big car to take them to his home. After their own fes tivities he had slipped away to bring the stranded travelers as a surprise next morning to all but his wife. As Mrs. Long arranged the pack ages around the small tree on the table, possibly there were visions of happy faces of Loneridge boys and girls with their note discordant in tone but full of love-harmony while they sang, "All Is bright." Perhaps she wondered at the "peace that passed understanding" which she had that Christmas. She may have understood that the Loneridge Christmas Eve would be one of th happiest memories of her life be cause wherever and whenever the message "Inasmuch" Is lived out, there will be "Peace and Good Will Among Men." 5. 12, Wwtim Newspaper Union.)
