jCHRISTMAsI | BUCKLES I ■ [ By Luella B.Lyons ![ Timothy brown knew not a soul in Hartsburg well enough to merit an invitation to a Christmas dinner, for he had opened the little shoe repairing cubby hole in the postoffice building only ten days previous to the holiday. And the little restaurant served no turkey either, for they had probably figured everyone would be eating elsewhere. Rather blue and unhappy, Timothy slipped back to his workbench, there to get caught up on .he avalanche of work that had poured in upon him. The first pair of slippers—yes, he remembered the pale, thin little girl that had brought them in. “My aunt bought them for 25 cents at an auction of secondhand things in the city and sent them to me; but they do need repairing before I can wear them. But I've only 25 cents to my name —could—would you repair them for that amount, Mr. Brown?” Os course, he assured her that it wouldn’t cost that—not to her, of the sad and wistful eyes! “Why, I may be a shoe rebuilder, but if those buckles aren’t worth a fortune then x’d better get out of this business,” he shouted to the empty little room as he suddenly discovered the winking little buckles were not of the dime store variety. Luck was with him when he sent a messenger for the poor girl owner of the second-hand slippers, and at the jeweler’s home the pair were in luck—the expert in gems told them that the buckles would positively remove the girl out of the pauper class, for they were really worth a fortune. Happy and merry Christmases may come and go, but Timothy will never be lonely again, for the lucky little girl later said "yes” to Timothy, not out of gratitude but because of love at first sight. © Western Newspaper Union. fimnsifausmTroiiniuin Christmas Carols a a & By Katherine Edelman 1 ■■■ ■ ■ ■ ii 1 a a am nm aasaaiXirim WARREN ELMORE was mad—angry through and i through. For the first time , in his business career he had had I quarrel with his partner. Os course | it had been all Peter’s fault, but | even that thought didn t help so very much. The old saying, "It takes two to make a quarrel" kept bothering him. What was it that his wife had told him to get at Grant’s? He asked himself the question as he entered the big department store. Hose for Muriel, that was it! Bother Christmas shopping, anyway; why didn’t Beverly tend to things herself? As he walked down the crowded aisles, he was conscious of music from the balcony. An orchestra j was up there playing Christmas carols. Warren Elmore forgot his peeve against the world; he hurried up and joined the happy crowd. His voice joined it "O Lit- 1 tie Town of Bethlehem.’ It was , followed by the glorious "Adeste ' Fideles.” Then came “Silent Night.” As its beautiful strains filled the store Warren Elmore was conscious that all anger was dis- ' appearing from his heart . . . He wanted to get back to the office, to slap old Peter on the back, and 1 tell him they were a pair of fools I for letting such a small thing interfere with their friendship . . . And man-like, he purchased six pairs of hose for Muriel instead , of three on the way out. A store that took time and thought for Christmas carols should be rewarded a little bit, he believed. © Western Newspaper Union. KEEPING tree fresh IF A Christmas tree is set in water when it first comes in- ! to the house and is kept in water while it is part of the Christmas decoration, it will remain fresh and green fnr at least a week longer. Water should be replaced as it evaporates. If the base of 1 a Christmas tree is trimmed with a sharp knife just before it is 1 mounted, the pores will be left open, allowing water to rise in the stem to the living cells which are still trying to provide the tree with food and moisture. Spruce and fir retain their needles longer than most other Christmas trees. Popcorn Ball Decorations Popcorn balls, wrapped in red and green tissue paper, silver paner or glistening cellophane, and oiled in a decorated basket, make attractive centerpieces for Christ-| mas dinner or party tables. Ai small favor may be placed in each bal l to add interest at a party. Hung on the Christmas tree, these balls make pretty or..amcms for the strong lower branches that always seem to be neglected when the tree is decorated. !

DEMAND GROWS FOR BEET SUGAR I Consumer Demand For ' Beet Sugar Is Grow- i ing In Indiana Saginaw, Mich., Dec. 23. —Assert- ' ing that the" consumer demand for Indiana-made beet sugar has been 1 greater this year than at any time | in the history of the beet sugar i industry, Arthur A. Schupp, executive secretary of the Farmers and Manufacturers Beet Sugar Association, said, "During the past four years the demand for Indiana-made i beet sugar has been steadily increasing. According to reports!, from sugar brokers, wholesalers and retail grocers throughout the state it is expected that practically all of the sugar produced in Indiana this year will be marketed within the state.” When asked to explain the reason for the increased demand for

Indiana-hiade beet sugar, Mr.’l Schupp said, "The educational and i advertising campaigns conducted I by the Farmers and Manufactur- I era Beet Sugar association have ] made the people of Indiana beet sugar conscious. Through the co-1; operation of the press and the re- i tail merchants the buying public | are beginning to recognise the iin- < portance of the beet sugar Indus- i try to Indiana agriculture and lab- 1 or. In addition, it is now an es- < tablished fact that Indiana-made 1 sugar is equal in every respect to 1 i the highest quality sugar produced > 1 anywhere in the world. All of I 1 these* factors have operated to en-l 1 courage homemakers and food manufacturers throughout Indiana 1 1 to demand and use home-growu ! sugar.” Referring to the possibility of in-;, creasing the production of Indiana- ; | made beet sugar in order to meet I the demand for the article, Mr. j Schupp, stated, “with the farmers of Indiana seeking to materially! Increase their purchasing power' we feel confident that they will; make it possible for tile beet sugar 1 companies to operate their factor-' I

les at capacity next year and thus i enable them to meet the demand i for Indiana-made beet sugar which i has been created during recent! years. ; "In a word,” continued Mr. H Schupp, “it is a known fact that; sugar beets have been the most profitable of all the major farm crops grown in Indiana during the past six years. In addition, sugar beets is the only major non-surplus crop grown in the state. In view of these facts, we have sufficient confidence in Indiana farmers to feel assured that a maximum acreage will be devoted to sugar beets next year and that every farmer with suitable soil, properly locat-| ed, will grasp the opportunity to increase his income by cooperating with - the processors in their endeavor to meet the growing demand for sugar grown and made in Indiana.” o Bank Case Will Be Submitted To Jury — New Albany, Ind., Dec. 23.—<U.RT —Possibility of two more arrests l 1 in connection with closing of three
