But the celebration of Christmas has come et to thousands of children who have little or 3 not cause them to rejoice at the birth of -Jesus.; it is celebrated with heartiness and happmgsg by those who do not believe in any rehggon.; by those of alien faiths and strange; it is a time of joy and happiness . tohousands of children who have little or no und_ex:standing of its religious signifi- H cance; it is warm in the hearts of many men and women as a time or rejoicing, of neigh- borly love, of friendship, of kinship, quite apart from its being the natal day of the Carpenter of Nazareth. Christmas means peace on earth, good will to men. It means an opening of hearts. It means thought for the poor and needy. It means bringing - joy to children who otherwise and other times have little joy. It means love in the heart. It means broth- erhood. . e There is no brotherhood without a fa- therhood ; there is no brotherhood of man without a Fatherhood of God, and so even those who know nothing....if there be such . .. of the day, 1,922 years ago, which Christmas celebrates; even such as these, in celebrating Christmas, in‘receiving or —4 giving from the spirit of Christmas, are led in spite of themselves back to the Creator. Christmas. . . not a time for -philosop}_ly but a beatiful time to prove that even phil- osophy must yield to the spirit of the Yule log, which brings to us all, Christian and { Jew, Mohammedan-and Buddhist, heathen KT and believer, just and unjust, alike, the uni- fication of that love which, alone of all forces in the world, can ever make it whol- ly a place for brotherhood. ADVERTISING _ The advertising of American business in American monthlies and weeklies amounts to about $150,000,000 a year, and newspa- per advertising to about $650,000,000 a i year, $800,000,000 in all, which is about as i high as the bill for America’s chewing gum, o rlip sticks, rouge and powder. George W. Hinman asks whether this is worth the money. And he answers the question in the affir- mative. For he says that the value of what the United States produces amounts to about ——— It is a wise suggestion that each ,town in Beltrami county that can possibly do so, send one or more delegates to the meetings of the county commissioners when they meet for the purpose of re-district- ing the county, which will be in Jan-| ; uary.—Grygla Eagle.

(Copyright, 1922, Associnied ¥ Editors.) TOM SIMS SAYS Give building blocks for Christ- mas- because they will build. a fire. One may shop from sun to sun; but Christmas shopping’s never done. It will soon be time for new res- olutions. We call them new but they are the old ones made over. $40,000,000,000, and this advertisiing bill of $800,000,000 is therefore only 2 per cent of the total amount of the goods pro- duced. Advertising is an important and es- sential element in distribution, It is more than that; it is the self-expression of busi- ness enterprise, and keeps it wholesome. Russia tried the abandonment of adver- tising and found that advertising and busi- ness both departed -together.

Craig, of Duluth, executive director of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Tidewater association, it appears to us, has about everybody in the United States edu- cated to the idea that the deepening of the St. Lawrence river is the salvation of the great central west. Transportation demands double every ten years and the railroads are now about ten years behind on transportation facili- ties. Therefore a waterway from the lakes to the Atlantic should be supplemented The necessity of either route implies the necessity for both routes. The two routes with a waterway from the lakes to the gulf constitute an inseparable necessity. The economies in transportation effected by either route will be equaled only by the economies effected by the other route. 3 MONEY MAKERS Henry Ford’s income is said to run in six figures daily. Most of us would be sat- isfied with a six figure income annually and some in a lifetime, Mr. Ford is not back- ward about his secret and tells us how it is accomplished. He says: “The man who will use his skill and constructive imagination to see how much he can give for a dollar, instead of how little he can give for a dollar, is bound to succeed. I cannot understand why peo- ple don’t see it.” - . Well, Henry, the hardest thing to see is the obvious. Most of us'are too busy look- ing for cure-alls and short-cuts that do not exist.

A COW FOR CHRISTMAS The Pioneer’s suggestion that men give their wives cows for Christmas has caused other editors throughout the northwest to comment on this uniqe gift. Some favor- ably and some less favorable. We still contend that a cow for a Christ- mas gift would be far more senible than an auto, . g It would be a great giftfor Uncle Sam to give every worthy fatrmer’s wife. Yes, more than that, Uncle Sam should arrange to provide the farmer with all the stock for which he can grow proper feed. He would get his money back a hundred fold.
