Honors Worthily Won at Interniticnal Live Stock Show. Friendly Rivalry at Chicago Splendid ly Revealed the Possibilities of Our Northern Ncichüsr. Further widen e. If auy.were needed, of the friendly relations between Cunada and the United State- might have heeu found by a visit to the International Live Stock Slow recently held at the Chicago Stuck Yards. There ihe Canadian and American were to he found side by side in the friendliest competition, the loer willingly ud.nittlMg defeat when the other, fellow curried oil the hiue rihhon. Some ol the Choicest und best of Canadian block ua there, and much of It returned loaded down with ribbons denoting lirsts. championship that Indicate pedigree, breeding and worth, und cups and trophies that were won in hard und severe contests. The hay and grain classes were points of greut interest, and here Canada did well, securing mauy prizes. Twenty-live first prizes were listed In the uats cJass; Canada carried awuy 1TJ of them. A sample of oats from the Province of Alberto, weighing 48 pounds to the bushel, was the heaviest sample in the show. It was Alberta oats that took the sweepstakes, the exhibitor In this case, J. W. Lucas, of Cay ley, repeating what he did last year. In wheat there were 23 first prizes to be awurded; Canada got 23 of them. The greatest Interest was shown when the horse classes were called. Here also Cunada stood well to the front. The Pcrcherori entries showed that Cunada breeders were popular and successful exhibitors. Championships were awarded to a number, and first prizes were common. The same may he said of Clydesdales. This breed stood out prominently, there were many entries, and this old-time popular breed had an unusual number of admirers. This was especially so In "Wee Donald's" case. Here was a Saskatchewan horse, his owner taking back to Canada the grand championship. Not only has he done It this year, but last year as well two years In succession something never before done at the Live Stock show. In Clydesdales Canada won places in every class In which entries were made. The same story could be repeated in sheep and hogs, honors being heaped upon honors on Canadian entries. Particularly Important Is the fact that first prize for nJfalfa seed was awarded for seed grown at Brooks, Alberta in competition with 13 en tries. Alfalfa growing in Western Canada has been increasing by leaps and bounds, and this victory will give It and the dairy Industry, which is always linked with It a further Impetus. A visit to the Canadiun government exhibit of grains-, grasses, vegetables, fruits, minerals and other products of the Dominion to the north, revealed In tabloid form what the great country to the north could do. A great Interest was aroused In this exhibit, and It was greatly admired by visitors to the Live Sttck show. Representatives of the government were on hand for the purpose of giving information to those desiring It. Advertisement. A Bad Case. Shi' How much do you love me. dear?

A little three-year-old, who had been summering on a farm, fell Into an old well where the water was only six Inches deep and remained there for some time before he was discovered.

Osage orange and black locust are much alike in structure, strength, durability and color, although the former usually has more of n sohlen brownish tinge. These two woods can readily be distinguished by the fact that usage orange gives ofT a yellowish color if wrapped In n wet rag or placed on a soaked blotter, while black locust gives off practically no color under the same conditions. -Light of the World The "Light of the World" was a title conferred upon Sigismund (1411-14:,7). emperor of (lermany. because of 1,1 enlightenment and intelligence.

Home-Made Toys

(CYNYONi: who has priced toys will jQ, realize that a very' great saving is possible In making toys ut home. For instance, from scraps that have accumulated one can make animal toys, as rabbits, ds, cats, bears, elephants, as well as many of the character dolls that will prove to h a perfect delight to small children. Patterns can easily be procured for making animal and doll toys from any place vhere patterns are sold. One clever mother went even farther by making "bunny, "cat and bovwow" slippers for the youngsters that are a never ending source of pleasure. She outlined the face of a nunny, cat, or do in black ; made ears and fastened them on with buttonhole stitch, and used tiny shoe buttons for the "eyes. The scraps she used In making the slippers and many of the animal toys were largely from odds and ends that are usually thrown away In making over garments. A grandmother is making use of old black and white silk stockings by making them up Into character dolls. The eyes, nose and mouth are embroidered, a gay calico dress Is made, a white apron, und n red cape. This makes a typical mammy that will prove a great favorite with the children. Another Idea which she carries out Is to make the body half white and half black. That Is, put a white dolly on one end and a black one on the other. Arrange the clothes in the middle of the body and make them suited to each character. As a suggestion, make a Dinah for the black part, so that when the black head Is up the doll will be a pickaninny, and so that when the white head Is exposed it will be a white dolly. A black stocking may be unraveled to furnish kinky hair. One can also make small dolls out of oild scraps of ribbons, voiles and ilk combined with clothes pins. Paint the faces on the head of the clothes pin vith Ink or water color. Bag dolls are perhaps the most beloved by small children. Any little girl would love to haye a "Baggedy Ann," for her very own. "Baggedy" Is manufactured from unbleached muslin, stuffed with cotton; her features, hair and shoes painted on with water colors. She is especially proud of her feet, because tbey so closely resemble Charlie Chaplin's. Her eyes may look large and glaring, but even if they are two large shoe buttons, they are always full of love for her small owner. In making "Raggedy" be sure to stuff her neck, hands and feet full of cotton, so that she will not become limp and discouraged looking. It Is also possible to make a doll house and doll furniture that will be a delight to little girls. Get a box of suitable size and put partitions In it. Two rooms above and two le!ow is the ideal arrangement. Scraps of wall paper can be used for covering the walls and small rugs can be made for the floors. These may be knit or crocheted out of rags, torn fine. The outside of the house can be painted some soft color. It should have three coats of paint to look well. The lirst coat should be a priming coat. For this use the same paint and color as for the final coats, only thin It down with turpentine; threv pities to one gallon of paint Is the proper proportions. After this has dried shellac all knots and sap spots. Then give It a coat of paint. If this looks well, another coat will no, be necessary. If enamel Is used for the work, apply a coat of flat paint hrst. One can also use plain wall paper on the outside Instead of paint, using narrow strips of a harmonizing color for the trimming. Often samples of wall paper can be ued to advantage in the decoration of the Interior and exterior of a doll house. Doll furniture may be made from the thin boards that come in boxes. After It Is made, enamel It to make It more attractive. Remember that one must always apply fiat paint before the enamel. One mother who made her little girl a lot of doll furniture used odds and ends of gay cretonne Instead of paint for covering It. Small cushions may be made of cretonne to fit in the little chairs or settees. One mother made a little sun parlor In the hou.-e and placed a tiny, swinging seat in it. Compo board can also be used In making doll houses. It is light and one can easily ue wall paper on both the Inside and outside. Doll furniture may also be produced from It. Fathers will find it possible to make toy wagons, sleds and airplanes that will give a groat deal of delight to the little boys. A grocery store can lie made from o box that will prove to be a never failing source of pleasure, for all children love to play at "keeping store" and selling things. Many things can thus be fashioned which will be durable, washable, un breakable and will nil make Christmas presents for the children that will delight them fully as much a the store toys. M. Palmer In Successful Farming. Hangers for Towels. Nails driven through corks make good hangers for dish towels hangers that will not tear or rust the cloth.

v v CANDY MADE AT HOME HOW TO PREPARE SWEETMEATS FOR CHRISTMAS. ox of Dainties Sure to Make One of the Mo3t Appreciated Yuletide Presents. UOX of home-made candies is a wel . el come gift much appreciated at Christmas. There Is an art in preparing such a box for one's friends and the end gained Is worth the trouble. Candy boxes of any desired size can be purchased at a box factory, or boxes covered with the art crepe paper, sold at so reasonable prices nowadays, make attractive receitacles. A bolt of crimson baby ribbon, a few sprigs of holly and several sheets of white tissue paper will enable a dainty package to be sent from one's home. In packing the candles It Is wise to cut parafiin paper and stiff bristol boards to fit the boxes in layers. A sheet of paper, then the layer of board will keep the softer candies, such as chocolate cream, from crushing. Uncooked candies art never palatable, and no amount of flavoring will mask a raw taste. On this account take the trouble to prepare fondant, which is the basis of all fine cream candies. It is not at all difficult to make if the instructions are correctly carried out. A week before Christmas prepare the fondant, which can he placed In a jar; cover with a damp cloth and keep In a cool place until two days before Christmas, when it should be made up Into the various confections. This time will allow the chocolate, used in dipping, to become firm. Colorings for tinting can also be purchased at the druggists, and always state that they are to be used to color food to Insure getting the vegetable coloring. Ited will produce any shade of fdnk, rose or scarlet according to the amount used. Violet will produce any hade from pale lavender to deep blue; pistachio or spinach will give green; egg yolk can be used for the yellows and a few drops of strong coffee will give a mode shade and chocolate will give the .browns. The following table may be a guide In llavorings: White vanilla or almond; pink strawberry, raspberry, rose; green pistachio or almond; pale yellow lemon; deep yellow oranire; mode maple or coffee; brown vanilla.

T t Mi ' ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS FIRST CELEBRATION WAS HELD IN THE YEAR S8. Forty Years Later Before It Was OUV cially Adopted as Christian Festival. iIHlISTMAS was first celebrated Q, in the year OS, observes a writer, but it was 40 years later before It was officially adopted as a Christian festival; nor' was it until about the Fifth century that the day of its celebration became permanently fixed on December 25. Up to that time it had been irregularly observed at various times of the year in December, In April and in May, but most frequently in January. In Home the Saturnalia, or feast of Saturn, fell at about the same time as our Christmas, and it marked the greatest festival of the Roman year. The city abandoned itself to gayety. Universal mirth was the order of the day; friends feasted friends, and foes were reconciled. All social distinctions were la hi aside. Work was stopped, and no war was ever entered upon at that time. One by one other legends and customs have been disproved and overthrown, yet none has dared attack the legends and the customs sacred to Christ mastide. It remains with us, and will always remain. Christmas marks the winter solstice. The days begin to lengthen, and the sun no longer journeys away from the earth, but enters upon its return. It is a promise of renewed light and warmth, of the approach of summer, and men haileVl these signs with every expression of gladness. When Christianity spread abroad, men adapted the old customs of their ancestors to the new order of things. The word Yuletlde, used to give a picturesque, oldtime flavor to the Christmas Idea, comes from Yule, an old name for Christmas. The tenn springs from an English word used to designate the two months of December and January, one of which was called the "former Yule," the other the "after Yule." There Is a legend which relates that It was the custom years ago for every Saxon household to burn the Yule log on Christmas eve. This was a great gnarled root or tree trunk, cut the day before Christmas and brought into the hall on Christmas eve with great ceremony and accompanied by music. Each member of the household would sing a Yule song, standing on the center of the log. In Germany and other European countries It was believed by the children that the Christmas tree glittering with candles and brightness, and the gifts found beneath the tree, were the work of jolly old St. Nicholas, or Santa Claus, as we know him. This kindly saint was no legendary character, lie lived about 300 A. D., and was a noted bishop of Asia Minor. lie was looked upon as a patron saint of generosity because of his liberality. The idea of St. Nicholas travelin- in a sleigh drawn by reindeer originated In the cold northern countries. The reindeer were the swiftest animals known, and they must needs fly like the wind to carry St. Nick the round of the world In n night. Almost as important a the gift giving and gift receiving on Christmas day Is the feat of da!ntles spread ou that occasion. Rut evn the Christmas dinner has its origin In the dim, distant past. Feasts were always the accompaniment of any festival: In Egypt, at the winter solstice, every family killed and ate a goose as a religious observance. We preserve the custom of eating fowl on Christmas, but the toothsome turkey has more generally supplanted the goose. Cold Chicken Cutlets. Cold holled chicken may he mixed with crumbs, egg and cream until of a consistency to shape Into cutlets. Dip these in hot fat. Serve with cream stance or tomato sauce.

STATE ASSEMBLY

SESSION

3i LUiiiL Indiana Lawmakers Gather to Approve Reformatory Relocation Measure. KILL SOLDIER BONUS BILL Futile Attempt Is Made to Put Through Act in Behalf of Ex-Service Men Governor's Signature on the New Laws. Indianapolis. Dec. ' The special session of the Indiana legislature called for the specific purpose of passing a law providing for the relocation of the state reformatory, adjourned after passing the bill. A feature of the session, not scheduled, was a final hour and futile attempt to pass a soldiers' bonus bill. Resides attaching his signature to the relocation bill. Governor McCray also signed a bill which appropriates SlO.fH.) for the expenses of the spoeia? session. At the opening of the one-day meeting of the lawmakers. Governor McCray, In a message to the legislature, explained the purpose of the session and described the peessity for the action, outlining the action of the regular session in the matter and the sale of the old state institution, which some time ago had been badly damaged by fire, the property later being sold to Colgate & Company. Vote 64 to 29. The reformatory relocation bill was passed by the house by a vote of Vt ayes and 20 noes, and was later amended and passed by the senate by a vote of :?." ayes and 11 noes. The house refused to concur In the senate amendments and the measure was sent to a conference committee. The vital change in the bill, which was made on motion of Senator Oliver Kline of Huntington, provided that the new prison shall be located in a section of the state where raw material for brick and cement manufacturing is available so that convicts can produce road material for use in construction of state highways. This change would compel the location of the reformatory. It was said, in the western part of Indiana, where clay and cement products are found. Speaker Claude A. Smith of Princeton appointed Representative Otto G. Filield of Crown Point. Clinton IL C, Ivan of Indianapolis, Ed E. Youse of Markle and James L. Kingsbury of Indianapolis as the house members of the conference committee. The sessions of both houses were devoid of the spectacular and the predicted clashes between factions did not materialize, as both branches voted to suspend the constitutional rules to expedite the passage of the bill. Roth houses passed the $10,000 appropiation bill to provide for the expenses of the special session. No other matters were voted on at the morning and afternoon sessions. In the house no other bills were introduced, but in the senate three measures were thrown In the hopper. These bills were introduced by Senators Kline, Alfred I logst on of Marion and John Alldredge of Anderson. Bonus Bill Had Friends. Although there was considerable sentiment in the legislature for the passage of soldier's bonus bill, a majority of both houses seemed inclined to permit this measure to hold over until the next regular session for fear of throwing down the bars for the consideration of other bills, which would prolong the session. The Alldredge bill, which is the same as a measure introduced in the -house by Representative (). U. Newman of Indianapolis, provides lor the payment of S10 for each month of service in the army or navy during the World war and also would allow certain educational advantages to ex-service men. The measure Is designed to place the matter of paying the bonus up to the voters at the regular election next fail. In event of favorable action at the polls the tax board would be authorized to make a levy to care for the payment of the bonus which. It is estimated, would total $7,o00,000. This measure was referred to the committee on education, of which Senator Swain is chairman, by Lieut. Gov. Emmett F. G rauch. The Hogston bill proposed to eliminate the minimum salary for teachers and was referred to the Judiciary A committee, of which Senator Roscoe Klper is chairman. The Kline bill, making court summons over the telephone legal, also was referred to Judiciary A. At the opening of the session Representative Rarker contested the seats of two new members, Representatives Gibbens- and Davis who had taken state positions, since the last sessionl The movement failed.
