THE MERRY SHOPPER. The Yuletido is this year responsible for one of Ilia lirgefeO bodies of eager people beat oa accumulating Chrlstm. joys for big and little folks that America bis known since- way back in 1914. when war clouds had gathered over Europe and the shadows had already begtm to cast their sinister reflections upon the United States. The chief point for comment over the approaching holday this year Is that fcr so many thousands it will find the clouds removed and the return of sunshine for the children who for nearly six years have been under the reflex shadows of the war. The country is still under that shadow in Bomo ot its activities but there is abroad in the land a disposition to return to the old encouragement of childish joys and the full celebration of the Yuletide customs of pre-war days. To this end the holiday may be expected to display much of the old time reccgnltlon of its distinctive ppeal to thf young. Its best celebration is that which rives the foremost thought to the children. It is only when this Idea Is enlarged an4d expressed that the searon secures its happiest celebration. The disposition to make the. season one for the indulgence of extravagance adult practices and dissipations is destructive of the real Joy and meaning of the season. For this reason-the merriment and the season's lfts should be centered In the provisions we make for the child in the home and for the homeless child. It is in these directions that the greatest Christmas joya lie. The stores, crowded with toys and with distinctively useful things that belong in the realm of chlldbocd. evidently sense this spirit, and in response to it have anticipated the childish tastes. The displays that greet us from shop windows perve more than a practical or commercial value for shoppers. They re-create In mature minds the eternal joy of childhood. The coming season's memories are the grown people's chief joy. or shoifld, be. No other teason so stirs the heart cf those who are now the providers of those same joys that were once theirs, if this tpirit is not confined to the mere selfish and narrow limits of those "of our cwn" but is expressed in making iteher and fuller the lives of those whe need our help, tliis Christmas tide will be the happiest and most useful of our lives.

tween street tars and vehicles, apparently without any thought ( f the dangers they fjee in doini; so. Many porcuns -an be seen leaving a strai t r.ir at the rear door and crossing the street behind the far. th'Tiby l mining tlx' risk of being struck by a car passing on the "blind" side. , Automobile drivers are not ldamelew in the nrttter. Many f them take chances in rushing across a street ahead of a street car or ant.ther automobile, all for the evident purpose of saving a few second:!, as if the saving of time justiiled them in running the risk of being .-truck. Even without the aid of a traffic officer at the street crossing, travel would adjust itsHf If every person exercised g od judgment in crossing. "(Jo with the t'fUTic" Is advice which may be followed with safety under almost every condition. The drivers of vehlclts are blamed for many more accidents than should le charged to them. Pedestrians have a responsibility which they should not attempt tc evade. It Is much easier for the Individual io wait a lew seconds than it is for tho driver of an automobile to stop to. prevent striking n person who has rushed into the middle of the street in thoughtless hant.e Every person, driver or pedestrian, who use:-? the streets has it In his power to aid hi making the streets safe for all.

WILL THE FARMER QUIT T Souie sensitive sculs appear to be somewhat perturbed by the fear that the farmers of the I'uited States, discouraged by the drop in prices, this year, will give up tho job of feeding the. American people Pnd a lot of other folks. Well, the farmer has been doing considerable com plaining, and it must be admitted that he has the best leascns he ever had for complaint, but it is a reflection on bis intelligence to say that he will quit just because things have gone a little against him. One thing seems certain the prices of farm implements, fort Hirer and such other things as the farmers buy must be reduced in price to justify the farmer to continue in agriculture, failing which he will have the best reason imaginable for quitting the Job. The cost of production must be reduced, and this must be done by the interests which look to the farmers for pales -the manufacturers of agricultural implements, producers of fertilizers and other farming essentials. The American farmer is not a quitter, although a few of his number drift into the towns in the hope of bettering themselves. Just a3 the city man goes from one town to another for the name purpose. The farmer has Just as much grit as the manufacturer or merchant, and he will see this thing through to better days. Let congress give the farmer seme help in finding a foreign market for the surplus grain, and it will not be long until prices will be equalized, although it may mean a slight advance in the prices of wheat and corn in this country. With the farmers prosperous, the condition of the nation generally will be Improved.

"WHAT'S YOUR HURPY P Automobile and other street accidents have become c-o numerous in many cities that campaigns have been commenced to teach the public, pedestrians as well as drivers of vehicles, the wisdow of exercising care on the public streets. Investigations of accidents on the streets have developed that a large per cent of theru is avoidable; that they are the result of carelessness on the .part cf the driver of the vehicle or the pedestrian who is the worst sufferer when a collision occurs. Men and women rush across the streets or be-
