MERRY CHRISTMAS: Its the old fashioned greeting in an old fashioned way but we doubt if at this season it can be improved upon, especially when it is sincere. We certainly do wish you all a I Merry Christmas and hope the ■ season will be filled to overflowing with the rarest happiness. We feel it will be. There is a spirit in the air this year that has not been noticeable during the trying times we have all passed through. Folks are smiling again and that's a good sign. A year ago we were all fearful, hesitating to express joy or pleasure. even if we felt it. Today we are all hopeful that the worst is over and that Just ahead lies easier paths. In this community we have been particularly fortunate. Our industries have been I operating steadily and there are plans for future development and to top it off, this community has been signally honored by being chosen as the site for a model subdivision by the department of interior of the United States government and that after a survey in a number of states. We can be happy and mean it and you can see it in the countenance of every man, woman and child. Christmas is a great occasion and of all holidays the most wonderful because it is filled with the shouts and laughter of the children and the adult who cannot find happiness in watching the youngsters, deserves to be the forgotten man at this period of the year. It is the celebration of the birthday of “the Man of Gallilee" and it is the occasion for recalling the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would be done by," which is the base of reconstruction and a wonderful future. Let's forget the worries and troubles and grief of the years just past and look forward to a greater era in the greatest land in the Christian world. "Look not backward where there was joy but forward where joy will be.” Limetalism seems assured so far as England and America is concerned and those in a position to know believe it will solve the problem of how and where we are to *7 BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS / J Yl MW Ry mA , U > ■ Greeting* | 5 MERRY CHRISTMAS

got the basic money with which to increase circulation. The world's greatest experts are confident it will prove satisfactory and that it r will permit prosperity to step forward the next few months at a record making space. President 1 Roosevelt has ordered the mints to proceed to coin silver on a fifty- - fifty basis with producers, half of ' which is to be returned to the producers and half retained in the U. S. treasury. It may be a little ' ' tough ou the hoarders but its go- ! i ing to give the country sound ’ money with which to do business ' and that's the important thing just I now.. 1 " The sun is now warming the "down under’’ regions, but it will; apparently begin a northern trek.' Its rays will be more direct as i daily it climbs a little higher. The passing of the shortest day, therefore, brings expectation of welcome inroads into the long nights. Coming so near the holidays, with the annual hope which the New Year brings, the beginning of additional daylight serves as a psychological stimulant. The country has turned another corner and can look forward to spring and milder weather. It lias been mild enough in December to establish a new I all-time record, but January and ! February have a habit of importing a new line of Medicine Hat blizzards. Hope for the best therefore. but keep a few lumps in the bin and the snow shovel ready.— Indianapolis Star.. __ . We desire to express our appre- j ciatiou to the local merchants and j others for their support in using ’ advertising space during the Christmas campaign. We believe it will bring you good returns and that the best way to build the community is to tell the world your story through your local news-1 ’ paper. You have all been fine j about it and we promise you our continued efforts for the entire community. Use dairy products. . Its smart all the time and particularly so now when there is such an over production. The only sensible way to get that out of the way is to eat it and if we each do our part, that won't cause any indigestion, it's foolish to use substitutes and , kill the market for home produced , products. You should get your automobile J license during the next week. Ac- > cording to Frank Finney, commissioner in charge for the state, there will be no extension of the time' limit. If you don't have the new tags on your ear, you will be violating the law.

' L Agent Writes Articles On Corn - Hog Production Plan

(Editor's Note-This is the fourth of a series of articles written by L.E. Archbold, county agent, ex- 1 plaining the corn hog production , j plan.) Production cuts of 20 percent in 1 | corn acreage and 25 percent in number of pig litters farrowed and . hogs marketed are the principal things required of the individual > farmer in fulfilling his part of the ' contract with the government under ths corn-hog production ad- i justment program, according l tin j L. E. Archbold. Adams county agricultural agent. These production cuts for 1934 will be based upon the farmer's average corn acreage for the years 1932 and 1933, and upon the average number of litters farrowed , aud hogs marketed from these lit- . , ters in the same years. This means ■ ! that if a farmer averaged 40 acres : i of corn for the past two years, he • will agree under his contract to , * grow not more than 32 acres for , ; 1934. Likewise, if he has produced an average of 16 litters of pigs and has marketed an average of 100 hogs from these Iftters during the two years, lie will agree to produce not more than 12 litters and market not more than 75 hogs from them during 1934. The individual production deductions. when multiplied by the total i | number of corn and hog growers 'throughout the United States, will I provide the total reductions in' these crops, which are necessary j to help bring supply into line with ; effective demand.

part will be vital contribution to | the broad national plan of produc- 1 ; tion adjustment. Cash benefit payments, made by I the government to those farmers ; who take part in the program, will | make it possible for them to re- j duce their corn and hog produc- ‘ lion without loss of imme<i4a<e 'cash income, according to Mr. L. E. ' I Archbold. And in addition to these 'cash payments, the farmers will !be in position to profit through : 'any improvement in corn and hog!

C.C.C. TACKLES LAST FRONTIER OF 'INCLE SAM — Workers Make a Winter Playground Out of Death Valley DEATH VALLEY. Cal.. (U.RHn 'he shadow of Mt Whitney, rising 14,501 feqt above sea level to the highest point tin the United States 400 young mon work under the broiling sun of famous Death Valley, 271 feet below sea level, building a winter playground out of what is reputed ito be the world's dryest bit of terrain. The men, hailing from the city members of the 529th and 530th companies of the Civilian Conservation Corps, Lt. Col. H. H. Arnold commanding. Undeterred by the grim nomenclatures of Death Valley, Funeral Range, Dante's View. Devil's Golf Course and Dead Man's Pass, the men have embarked vigorously on the major portion of the work in this land of red mountains, purple sunsets, somber shadows, and vagrant winds that chase <dus| deribf'i across Jhe wasuj lands. About 3# miles of roads have been built and eight new wells have rewarded searchers for water. M. B. Holliday, of the National Park Service, says it is possible to have wells every 10 or 15 miles in the valley. Lt. Col. Arnold, here on an inspection trip, urged the men to regard themselves as pioneers in the last real frontier in the United States. He did not under-estimate the character of the obstacles. Much of the credit for the high morale existing in the Death Valley camp must be given to the Army Reserve Officers, the Ma- - rine Corps officers, and the two enlisted men who have charge of the conduct of the camp affairs. It is the mission of the National Park officials to find work for the I men and that of the officers to see | that they are comfortably housed * well fed and furnished with their r share of entertainment. o Stolen Biography Returned r Carmel, Cal—(U.R) — A 4-volume biography of Saint Teresa of Spain, written prior to 1582 and stolen from the library of the historic 1 Carmel Mission about 1896. has t been returned, Very Rev.
