Here again comes the nesthought that while there are instances today f the exchange of very valuable gifts, the lossal sum that goes into Christmas presents wits due to the fact that gift-giving has become wero general. qua The cost of the modern festival is so great unpecause of the effort to get as many as po3- megible to the table. « 5 A Bargain qua The house of representatives will again pass Rn to the senate an alien property bill provid- fire for settlement of German-American war irlaims and for the return of enemy private demwroperty seized during the war. It is consid- red probable that the senate will this time geke final action on the matter. g.1 War claims are proverbially hard nuts to all rack. Those which have been under consid- stegration for the last nine years have been com- towilicated by a consideration of international fat thics. It involved the return of private en- 9.5¢my property. The traditional attitude of the Gheir preparation. ber of years treasury surplus estimates have been as much as several hundred million dol- lars below actual surpluses. It is doubtless knowledge of this fact that has prompted the house of representatives to shove up the fig- ures and leave Mr. Mellon in a position of em- barrassment. Consider the Fox Some professor up in Massachusetts unbur- dened himself the other day of the statement that the larger animals seem to have devel- oo oped their brains as well as their bodies; the chimpanzee, he pointed out, is more intelligent than the chicken. Look to the fox, doctor. Not as large as a bear is he, but smart? Well, with the wind io back, just go out and try to get near @ 10x. Maybe the bigger animals really are wiser, but they are like some of those strong, silent men, who keep it to themselves. Wonder why a chicken crosses the road? This One Thing I Do When Mrs, Lindbergh was asked whether she was going to take any Christmas presents to her son, to visit whom she flew to Mexico, she said: “These flyers care for nothing but their machines, and whatever is bought for them they prefer to buy for themselves.” The explanation for the brilliant achieve- ments of Colonel Lindbergh has never been put. more compactly. The young man has devoted his whole attention for years to the problems of flying. It is as though he said, “This one thing I do,” and gave no heed to anything else. There is a moral here for ambitious youth when tempted to dissipate its energies. Something else that doesn’t improve to any notable extent with use is a calendar. | Editorial Comment Seats in the Senate (Duluth Herald) There is a difference of opinion as to the justice of the senate’s refusal to seat Vare of sylvania and Smith of Illinois pending in- 'y. The vote on the question of admission does not clarify matters, as organization Re- publicans voted as a body for at least tempor- ary admission, and the Progressives and the Democrats for exclusion.

Crop Values Related to Population (Minneapolis Tribune) It is interesting to know the ranking of the states in the matter of value of farm crops, and it is also interesting to know about farm crops of a state in relation to population of|the that state. The federal department of agri- culture, in its report just issued, provides in- formation about the former, but not about the dates would by now have ed out of the race if documents So] whose existence has been reported far it has not abused that power.

We are told that Minnesota in 1927 ranks seventh among the states in respect of aggre- gate production of 22 principal crops with a value of $324,449,000. North Dakota falls ap- proximately $50,000,000 below Minnesota in this regard, but there is a different face on the story when these figures are taken in con- nection with population. The federal census of 1920 showed that the population of Minnesota was 2,387,125, and that the population of North Dakota was 646,- 872, Minnesota ranked seventeenth among the states in population, and North Dakota ranked thirty-sixth. The population of Minnesota was more than three and a half times that of North Dakota. of population to farm production in the two states. The result is $961,446,000, to be com- ed with the $324,449,000 of Minnesota e larger figure is almost three times as great the smaller. * ‘ ans comparison is of interest in showing relatively of much more importance than ¢ industry of M "ed will be reduced somewhat if taken into account, but it stands essentially as holds in the bro stile Sith neletee tthe e si wit e to their general conomic structures.

More potted hi h He trange things even happen messages from the peeslane him- self. In last year’s message trans- itting the budget to congress, the advance copies sent out from the White House included this : “Whatever is necessary to put i to effect the expressed will of people as written into the eighteenth amendment of the constitution and ‘the will of the congress as expressed in the Volstead Act will be done. Whatever funds may be necessary to vindicate the law and secure com- pliance with its wise and righteous Provisions should be provided.” “Wise an righteous, provisions” pretty bad break for a. Republican politician in President Coolidge’s sition. Nothing of the sort ever ap- ared in either national party plat- orm. Thus, it wasn’t surprising when the White House sent a note order- ing that the words “wise and right- eous” be stricken out before the message was read or published. Pre- sumably, whoever writes the presi- dent’s budget message was casti- gated severely. Let’s assume that no one slipped those three words in- to the message surreptitiously!

This is ing published two days in ad- vance, so you will havo plenty of time to go to the market and secure thesq foods. You cannot start the New Year better than to resolve to select your | dinner carefully as to quality, prop- er quantity, and correct combin- ations! In my own family it has been many fea since any resolutions have nm adopted about good dietetic habits. ‘e just naturally eat the right things, and selecting the proper foods has become as easy as_ breathing. However, I know many of you have been promising yourselves for a long time that you would start “dieting” soon. Well, here's your chance—start out with this New Year's dinner: Celery and Ripe Olives, Salted Roasted Nuts, Sliced Cucumbers with Grated Raw Carrots, Roasted Turkey or_ Chicken, Wholewheat Dressing, Baked Ground Beets Cooked Cucumbers, Baked Apples a la Mode. Sliced Cucumbers with Grated Raw Carrots: Arrange cucumbers either sliced or quartered on a bed of crisp lettuce, over which grate the desired amount of raw carrot. A little olive oil or peanut butter dressing may be added if desired. Wholewheat Dressing: Slice and slightly toast a small loaf of ge ine wholewheat bread, or the sai uantity of wholewheat muffins. reak into small pieces and moisten with milk. Add 2 cups of diced celery, 1 cup of minced ripe olives, 1 cup of ground roasted peanuts, id 44 cup of seedless raisins. Mix ingredients thoroughly. The ount is sufficient for a small turkey. Baked Ground Beets: Select small tender beets and wash thor- oughly, Without peeling cut into small pieces and run through the food grinder.
