but to give them one we cannot do this by means of ill-considered pres- ; ents. Thoughtless gifts cause the I January ash can to bulge with debris. Only when our gifts have lasting meaning do they carry the true mes- I sage of good-will which is the spirit of real giving. We can give happiness and con tentment and safety for the future as ! well as pleasure for the moment. । Such gifts are within teach of all. They are to be found in the Savings % Securities of the I’nited States Govepiment. From the 25 cent Thrift Stamp to the SIOOO Treasury Sax in s Certificate, they will carry with them not only the greetings of the season but happiness lor years to come. In presenting the child a card with o e thrfit stiamp affixed. you bestow n«i only a present but a habit which will grow jn value as the days pass, for he will wish to fill the card. That little gilt will have grown wonderfully before another Christmas comes around, and the recipient will be on the way to a life of independence. In recommending these lasting gifts, the Savings Division oi the Treasury does not suggest that a single Anu rican curtail his Christmas giving. It suggests only that lie broaden it to include this present which will bring future well-being to those he loves. Thrift Stamps, Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates will be on sab- throughout the year 1921. In continuing the sale of Government Savings Securities, the Government is giving the opportunity to every man. woman and child in the in nd through the coming year to enjoy the happiness, prosperity and contentment which is found in financial independence ami security for the fit- • ture. hiiu.ihi hoo\ ek. < <>t \si i.oi:. ! Herbert Hoover is a very rich man. but his opinions are taken so terioa ly that the American Federation of Gabor invited him to become then counselor at the gathering of labor leaders. There is no question but

that he took the position that peace-; ful methods should rule in [dace of strikes and lockouts. His acceptance! as an advisor, by labor leaders, is a 1 j big step in the right direction, be-; cause it is evidenced that among I some of these leaders there is a determination that has not heretofore ■been very clearly voiced, favoring (closer co-operation with the public, land fuller recognition of the rights lof the whole public. We have had altogether too much in the way of .demands from labor learn rs i s well as capitalists, for the futherance of their intlividual interests. The spirit jof sovietism, represented in this man,ner. seems to be on the doe hili slide. This is encouraciim. since it strengthens the principle that govern ment is reaching forward to •< ,r the rights for which “governim Us are instituted among men.” and .-dr which purpose they derive ‘ their jo e powers from the consent of the u ierned.” Efforts will be made before the general assembly of Indiana convening Jan. 6 to secure the passage of a measure to continue state control of the coal industry beyond March 1. the legal date set tor its expiration. W hatever new law may be enact'd. it is said, is to be made fire-proof against any attacks as to its constitutionality. The recent inh rlocutary injunction against the price-fixing and the distribution regulation- of .the coal commission has awakened the friends of the control measure to the importance of having it well fortified against such contingencies in the future. Master builders of Atlanta. Ga., have announced a cut in wages of their employes to take effect Jan. i. 1921. Common laborer' are cut to 2“ cents an hour, carpenters to 70 cents an hour, plasterers and cement finis! ers to 90 cents an hour, this reduction also applying to bricklayers.
