A certain “potato cor- aoration” is ‘ballyhooing this “thrill for your dinner guests.” E omparied by an affidavit swearing that the mur- phies were born, breathed, and had their being in no other habitat than the slopes of the Plymouth (Ver- ment) farm where Calvin Coclidge was reared to nanhood's estate.

Editorial Comment Great-grandma Knew Santa (Youth’s Companion) You can’t imagine cne man living 1926 years, can you now? And when you can’t imagine that, you ‘eel certain, then, the laughing, merry man in the hop window isn’t the Santa your great-grand- xother and all the mothers knew since the world gan. Then you say, “If Santa hasn't really and aly ‘been the same man forever why, maybe my eat-grandmother didn’t have a Christmas at all! | You think that because you’re young, dear child. “ou haven't paused to wonder if there isn’t some-| 1 \aing more lasting than a jolly, jingly, laughing man save you? But you do know there's a Christ-Child, don’t you? \ Christ-Child who will watch over you throughout | vour life. And you know by now He came upon earth 926 years ago. And you know He is the lover and »rotector of all children whose happiness He desires nore than all else. If one merry, laughing, jolly man hasn't lasted for 1926 years, how can the little Christ-Child be cemembered that long time? The answer is easy for grown-up folk. The exper-| ience of living has told them that the only import- int things in life are beautiful traditions that live | “ forever and are never forgotten because they are beautiful. Third Flight (St. Paul Dispatch) The new MeNary-Haugen bill has now made its appearance. The only changes are of minor import- ance—rice has been added to the list of basic com- mcdities; the method of appointing the farm board for which it provides is slightly changed; “cotton is given exactly the same positicn as the other com- modities; the equalization fee is to be levied on the “marketed units” of the products instead of the producer. The bill remains as it has been from the first, a scurd and feasible methcud of giving agricul- ture the protection it ought to have on those staple crops of which it raises a surplus. The bill has been drawn in such a way as to make a frank overture for the support of Southern mem- bers of Congress. The leaders of this movement at Washingten believe that they can get this support and that with the South, they can win. They have accordingly omitted the so-called “tariff yardstick.” The yardstick nevertheless remains, since the tariff, whether it is mentioned or not, must operate as the!
