There are a few who have tasted long and deeply of this happiness They are the ones who have learned the true secret of giving. They give their remembrancs to their loved ones, then they go another step. They realize that out beyond the walls of their own cozy homes, out beyond the pale of their own crackling hearth blaze, there are those who never share in the joys of a Christmas, And it is in giving to these that the richest happiness is gained.

In the Span of One Life The fact is recorded that “Charles Davenport, aged 97, inventor of the locomotive cab and pilot and the builder of the first wrought-iron bridge in the United States,” has just died at Zoar, Ohio. Such facts and a little reflection show what wonderful, what gigantic strides, the world is making in an inventive and mechanical way. In that man’s lifetime have come all the present railway locomotives, all the modern steel struc- tures, both bridges and buildings, for the steel buildings were based on the steel bridge principle, and all that has come @bout through the employment of those principles in me-} @hanics. A new world has been created since the beginning @f his practical activity And can any one doubt that the next century will bring} forth achievements fully as marvelous?

The cause of the high cost of lv. ing goes straight back to the sol) The tariff, the trusts, the middie men, are mere incidents. High coat of living is a polite phrase for famine, Famine, since the days before history began, has had its origin in land. In 1840 the United States had a population of 17,000,000. In 1910 it bad grown to 92,000,000, This ts an increase of more than 600 per cent In the lifetime of one man, In the last 10 years, while the population tncreased 21 per cent, the total of bushels of corn, oata, wheat, barley and rye produced in this country Increased less than 1 per cent In the same period we had an increase in ‘improved farm land acreage of 15.4 per cent, so we see that the country has actually been producing less per acre of the great cereals than it produced in the previous 10 years, The soll has been “playing out.” A soll that le totally played out | a desert, and the desert ie the dwelling place of eternal famine.

Another plot, no different as to general soll character, was treated with recognized corn t foods It produced 27.1 bushels an acre Hay fields, without plant food, produced 2,600 pounds of hay, With plant food they produced 8,222 pounds. A potato field, unfertilized for 26 years, produced 26 bushels an acre Enriched with phosphorus, a simi lar field produced 102 bushels an acre, and with phosphorus and oth er elements, another field produced 203 bushels an acre.
