DO, YOl'R. Christmai shoppiii;; early is, ot (rourse, a frayed
und iiioth-fati ciifstsiiif. It lias been used su ofton, that
few people will register any reaction to its repetition this year.
, ., Nevertheless early shopping
Pallas been for a deeade or more;
Ihr is even more important. f
Kbr the sooner Christmas hnyiiiK starts, and the greater it is
in volume, the better fr this eommiihify and for every other.
Siieh a eomposite profrram generally applied would prob
ably do more to restore prosperity, and get the economic, ship
on an even keel, than anything thai could be done. And the
individual purchaser would be benefited as well as business.
For commodity prices tire lower this year than they have
been for a decade. The buyer can get more for his dollar, than
at any time since the start of the world war; more no doubt
than he can expert to net again for many years.
So proinpl ami generous buying this year not only means
stimulating business, pulling more money in circulation which
ultimately benefits everyone, but it also means seeming the
maximum value for the money. ',
TII'KUH is anothrr angle to be considered. As pointed out dur
ing the Community Chest drive, there is more need for
charity this year than for many years past. Hut many people
think it better to give a man a jtb than to give him a dole.
' Well, generous Christ max. buying this year means giving
more men and win i jobs giving them chance to be self
supporting. So people who have money they can spend, will be benefit
ing their community and benefiting themselves, by spending a
little more than would have been the case under normal cir
cumstance. And now is the time to begin. The more we spend for useful
gifts at the close of l!i:l(l, the more, we will all have' to spend
during the year 1!):fl. .
GOVERNOR
HOW too strong an ambition to hold pnblb id'fiee may, in
ilKclf.-keep n 111:1 n from .if, is .pretty clearly demonstrated
in the case of (loveruor N'orhlad.
.If upon the death of (iovernor 1'atlerson, (fovernor N'orblad
had subordinated his extreme
determination to give the people of Oregon the best adminis
tration in his power; he, NOT Ju)ius Meier, would now be pre
paring to take the star part in
monies.
As it was, (iovernor 'rbiad
votes of heatin'ir the late (leorge Joseph. Had he "held his
horses" when (iovernor I'nlterson passed away, and not been so
eager to make political capital out of a tragic incident ; had he
later been a little more interested in what was good for his
stale rather 'than what' appeared to be good for his political
fortunes; had ho refused to allow political spite to enter into
liis officiiil decisions; 'no one could have beateh bim in the Pri
mary. . ,
' 1 liit (iovernor Xorblad was'sn anxious to keep his office, that
lie subordinated everything to what he thought would gel, him
vntes. As a result, lie lost votes and lost, the prize he coveted.
'MAT it wiih Hi in iimrdiimtt niiiliition to luild liis job at all
fouls that cost him th nomination, is jslou rly demonstrated
by the wrt of iidmiiiistration (iovcnHn- Xorhlad has ivon sineff

fortunes, at the present time, are in better shape than at. huy
previous time in his public career.

Tbroujih ft Komewhat sad experience Clovernor Xorblad has
undouhtedlv learned the truth

Kurd than if his former methods had nosed him into the gov
ernor's office by a few thousand

there Is no such thing as stpmach

such ache or pain In nc-tiinlly in
th belly. .The belly is tho, ,h

nor the organs
within that body
cavity. It Is onlyj
In the Willi of, the

there are any
nerves of pain

nerves, The in-,
ternal organs are
not supplied with such nerves at
all. dntornal organs are wholly
controlled by the autonomic, "sym
pathetic" nervous system, and the
nerves of (hat system do not con
vey sensations of pain. This ana
tomical or physiological truth may
explain to the uninitiated how doc
tors can operate on Internal or
gans practically pulnlessly If they
first 'honunib ilio nerves of tho ab

internal organ Is painless, though
rough handling or Injury of the
organ may produce grave shook
even though It cause no pain, for
the sympathetic nerves do trans
mit messages of injury.

There in but one fair nnd justi
fiable "Indication for castor oil In
acute bellyache and that is when
tho pain Is associated with neuto
diarrhea. Only when there is diar
rhea with the beHyako may a dose
of castor oil ho given. In the ab
sence of diarrhea, or where there
is a costive state,
neither castor
oil nor any other physic or ca

give you insulin and teach you
how to use It, merely to help you

TOO BRIGHT. "
: ' By- Allcejr-i.Iiidson J'cale,, ,
.The child whow -mindi has -de
veloped too far ahead of his nlte
moots with -certain inevitable dif
ficulties in his social adjustment,
It .Is seldom that he possesses
the qualities which uppeal. to his
fellows In such a way ns to malte
him popular, . much less, ns one
nilKht perhaps expect, make him
a lender among them.
Aside from curtain attributes,
such as physical attractivenesti, in
itiative, originality and an outgo-)
ing friendliness and interest In
the world at large, children seem
to demand of their lender that hej
he mnde much after their own
imnge with just enough superiority
to prove stimulating nnd command
respect.
A child too far beyond their
own level Is likely to bo thought
of by them simply na "queer."
Thus it Is the very intelligent
child's misfortune that tho group
among whom he belongs by vir
tue of his size nnd physical
strength has little use for him,
finding In him only a disturbing
element responsible Tor introduc
ing entirely too many new nnd
uncongenial twists Into their play.
The group among whom ho be
longs by virtue of his mcntnl de
velopment, on the other hand.
I looks down upon him for nis.

Thup the very superior child Is
for(.etj tQ dovehip resources within
hlmwir. Ho is compelled to get
most of his satisfactions, from In
tellectual pursuits and from such
hobbies o,h ho is atjle to devise.
It is only when he can be
placed In a group of children who
nro mie himself mentally far
in
ndvancq of their age that he has
a chance for making the best
soeinl adjustment possible to his
temperament i or . for developing
fully whatever capacity for lead
ership he 'may possess.

FIR8T CHRISTMAS TREES
By Mary Graham Bonner i v
The Little Black Clock had de
cided to use his magic and taltu
th& -children' traveling : around so
they could see the
Christinas celebra
tions in other
lands.
Then, too, he
was going to turn
the tinle hack to
show them how
Santa Claus start-
' ed some of his glo
rious customs.
He took them to
Germany now, and ft
they saw everyone
pulling nr lives in
their houses and they tow Santa
Claus trimming them, with roses'
made out of different, bright col-,
ored pieces of paper, nnd rosy
apples were hung from branches.
Snntn 1'laus put sugar candy
toys on the trees, to, nnd sugared
cakes.
He put dolls and toya :on the
trees, too. and now the; Clock
turned the time forward , a fow
years, so again they saw. Santa
Claus trimming trees.
Now he had decided that bright
caudles would look very pretty on
the trees, so lie had added candles
to the decorations.
"They look like the stars," they
heard Santa Clans say.
, The Clock turned the time ahead ,
a few more years and now they,
saw Santa Claus decorating the
trees with golden and silver orna
ments and tinsel and all kinds of
glittering decorations nnd bright
lights.
He was pulling the presents all
around the trees.
Next tho Little llluck Clock led 1
the children through some of the
little villages. They looked like
small forests so filled with fir
trees.
Old women, dressed In quaint, In
teresting clothes, were selling trees
and in every shop window were
candles of nil colors and ornaments
or all kinds with which to decorate
the trees. .
They saw peasants coming Into
the Uiwns, drawn by old oxen or
horses and they suw mnnv brightly
gilded fruits and mils and gaily
painted toys Santa was going to
leave for the children.
The snow wns falling now upon
the trees In the village through
which they were passing nnd Peg
gy took one of the Little Black
Clock s dull hands and said: 1
"There is nothing like getting
rj-ady for Snif.a Clans, no matter In
hnt purt of the world!"
And Ihe Little Iilnck Clock
thought so, too.
