The Removal of Christmas Restrictions The government has removed the severe restrictions on trade that were necessary during the war to conserve raw materials, increase man power, and accelerate transportation. The ban is off-the holiday trade. Only a few limitations remain, and these are essentially necessary from the standpoint of good merchandising.

A few months ago it seemed certain that this Christmas would be a gloomy one. Millions of homes would be filled with fear of eventualities in Europe affecting the lives of their dear ones. Happily for us, the armistice has been signed, peace will soon be declared, and thousands of our boys will return to their native shores. The authorities have taken advantage of this situation to restore Christmas to its old standing. Once more cheer and gladness will mark the day not only here but in countries where a

devastating war has for four years made the holiday a tragedy and a mockery of its real meaning. You may now buy what you want and ship it where you please. The stores, are filled with attractive merchandise. The Council of National Defense in a recent order, which is appended, puts official sanction cn Christmas buying: "The Council of National Defense now believes that, as one of the steps essential to the rapid establishment of normal after-the- war conditions, it should, and hereby does, lift the ban in connection with holiday buying, in the desire to give a natural impetus to the re-employment of those normally engaged in the prcduction of holiday material and in the holiday trade. The Council is further impelled to this decision by reason of the necessity now confronting us to get our military forces and munitions factory workers back to the ordinary pursuits of life with the least possible shock in making the change." The wise Christmas shopper is the early shopper. Shelves are filled with well selected and handsome Christmas gifts. The early shopper has a wide field from which to choose. The late comer must take what is left. With the glorious victory that has been won by the free peoples of the world, the people of the United States have abundant reason for rejoicing and gladness. If they can contribute to the cheer of others by the presentation of a gift, let them take advantage of the opportunity this year.

What the Farmers' Wives Did "The part the millions of men, women and boys and girls on the farm3 and In the organized agricultural agencies assisting them, including the federal department of agriculture and farmers' organizations, played during the war la sustaining this nation and those with which we are associated, Is striking but altogether too little known and appreciated. On th.em rested the responsibility for maintaining and increasing food production and for assisting in securing' fuller conservation of food and foodstuffs."

Thus does Secretary of Agriculture Houston, in his annual report, pay tribute to the farmer's

wife who helped win the war by going out into the field to help her husband put in, cultivate and harvest the crops necessary for the sustenance of America's population and the soldiers and civilians of the allied nations. The result of that vicarious labor is reflected in his summary of the output of the American farms for 1918: Wheat yield, 918,920,000 bushels. Corn yield, 2,749,198,000 bushels. Gain in acreage of cotton, tobacco, potatoes and cereals over 1917 estimated at 5,600,000 acres. The farmer's wife and his children played no inconsequential part in the increased food production of America. Even at its best the career of a farmer's wife is not an easy one. She is up with the sun, and besides attending to her household duties, which are fully as great as those of

' a housewife in a city, is engaged in milking, maki ing butter, gardening and scores of tasks of which the urban housewife knows nothing, j In 1918 she assumed the additional burden of i assisting her husband in the field. Her sons had been called to the army and navy. Farm labor could not be procured. So she became the substitute. She took the place of her boys and the

hired hands, and with her daughters, helped father put in not only the normal crop but also the additional acreage which the government asked him to till. She did a great and noble work. All honor is clue her. She proved her patriotism by deeds that manifest themselves in the increased yield of our fields.

Red Cross Recreation Program Helps Restore Wounded Soldiers

Back to a Peace Basis From the War Weekly. SEVERAL of the largest plants in England which have been producing munitions. during the war have now already turned themselves to the works of peace and are manufacturing vast quantities of goods such as before the war were invariably imported from Germany. In that is a lesson which America should make haste to learn. The munitions Dlants in this eountrv whir-h will

no longer be needed as such should be turned to other j uses at once, and preferably to the manufacture of goods j which we used to import from Germany. In that way

the total of our industrial output could be enormously increased without glutting the markets or causing any disturbance in commercial affairs. We do not know to what extent the new munitions plants here were constructed with a view to such conversion. In Great Britain all were thus planned with special care, so that the process of conversion can be performed quickly and easily.

Moment IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE. Hokum Center, Ohio. James W. Terwillingcr, the well known banker of this place, fays that, although it has been rumored that the position has been offered him, he will liositively not succeed W. G. McAdoo as secretary of the treasury. Parsnip Bend, Ind. Lucius W. Pillsburg, of this place, will not accept the position of director general of the railroads resigned by W. G. McAdoo. Asked if the place had been offered him, he refused to be interviewed. Tadpole, Ky., Hezekiah Hoopgarner, the well known financier, announces that he will not be secretary of the treasury. He has too many other Irons in the t'.re. Bird Center, 111. -Ignatius W. Winterhaltcr. Jeremiah W. Proudfoot and Hemus V. Freylinghausrn, all of this place, have been mentioned as successors to W. G. McAdoo as secretary of the treasury. All are silent on the question as to who mentioned them.

(By Associated Pressl WASHINGTON, Dec. 11. A recreation program designed at once to keep the patients in military reconstruction hospitals cheerful and normal and at the same time to supplement . the corrective physical treatment of the medical officers, has been agreed upon between the surgeon general's staff and the Bureau of Camp Service of the. American Red Cross. It was disclosed today that the plan is to be put into effect at once in 25 hospitals, where some fifteen thousand cases of men maimed or suffering from shell shock are under treatment. The Red Cross will undertake to carry out all recreational activities, except those classified as physical education or therapeutic treatment, which will be in charge of the department of education of the division of physical instruction of the surgeongeneral office. In the latter field the Red Cross will co-operate by supplying equipment and rendering Puch other services as may be requested by the medical or reconstruction agencies. The object will be to keep patients

happily employed, to encourage then

maimed to enter fully into social activities, and by carefully chosen games and exercises fitted to each class to encourage men through play to use dormant muscles and to increase their ability to make one limb do more and more the work of two. Throughout the effort, it is said, will be not merely to give each man temporary diversion that will while away his time but rather to benefit him permanently and to encourage him to add to the pleasure of his fellows and thus gain a consciousness of his value to society. Singing Societies. Besides motion picture shows and entertainments and fireside evening recreations, as well as the usual club room games, special attention will be given to the development of orchestras, glee clubs, choruses, quartets, debating, reading, story telling and study clubs and sing group or competitive activities among the maimed. The camp service people also will see to it that the patients get home papers and other daily papers as well a3 magazines and technical books and writing, especially of letters, will be encouraged by affording stationery and comfortable desks. In addition, the camp and local Red

Cross workers will arrange for the j

theatre parties, dances, Christmas

dinners, entertainments and trips for men able to leave the hospital grounds and will provide automobiles for those unable to travel by street car. To give out of door employment and

raciJiues for gardening wnicn nas Deen found to be one of the best recreational employments for those suffering from shell 6hock. In the wards for those unable to visit the convalescent house, the Red

Cross will undertake to supply special j sick room features. Moving pictures projected on the j ceilings so that patients flat on their

backs can enjoy them, phonograph and other concerts and entertainments and plenty of reading matter of all sorts, flowers, smokes and other com-; forts will , be provided. Games that

can be played in bed, picture puzzles that help the use of stiffened figures, and special devices by which those who cannot be propped up can play cards or games, will be provided. The recreations classed as physical education include practically all field sparts and gymnasium games. Sports will be utilized in getting men unconsciously to take the form of exercise which the medical corps prescribes for limbering up muscles, or which the vocational . directors find will add to efficiency in certain lines of work. The workers hope to have baseball nines made up wholly of men with a limb missing. The work for the Red Cross will be directed, under Percy H. Clark, by Karl Hobiitzelle, of Chicago. Claude Mills, of San Antonio, who has but one leg, is working with Mr. Hobiitzelle in developing a staff of leaders and teachers. In all the work every effort will be made to prevent a feeling that fun has been instutionalized. As nearly as possible, a home and ordinary club atmosphere will be maintained..

The Central Labor council will meet Thursday night. Business of importance relating to the local labor situation will be considered and action will be taken. All delegates are requested to be present. DISCHARGED FROM SERVICE. EATON, O., Dec. 11 Dr. C. M.

Tea Drinking Increased 36 Percent in America (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 Tea drinking has apparently increased 36 per cent in the U. S. during the year ending last June 30, for 148,684,000 pounds were imported, as compared with 105,984,000 pounds the year previous, a customs report today showed. Nearly 237,000 pounds were rejected by offical tea examiners for containing so much Japan dust or wood stem, and 3,936,000 pounds were exported. Strict regulations of tea examiners have reduced the importation of artificially colored tea to practically nothing, it was reported.
