So be has gone into the newspaper business. A clergyman says that kising is a relic o f the dark ages. So is sleep­ ing, but who has found the substitute? In these days o f high prices the bald-headed man has the laugh on the fellow who requires at least two hair cuts a month, When it comes to reconstruction the government must, not loose sight of the fact that road repair was laid up during the war. It must be given as­ sistance by the uathorities in Wash­ ington. A Republican legislature and a Democratic governor in this state with a Democratic President and a Republican congress after March the first means that Ohio and the na­ tion may yet ge t a taste o f real pol­ itics, • ■ i John Kendrick Bangs, noted lectur­ er- and writer* in his lecture Friday night landed a right-handed blow on that pacifist, Newton Raker, secretary af >var. Baker’s attitude during the ,var has been one o f the blights on the present administration. Candy sales have increased to a tremendous volumn in the large cities jvhere prohibition is in force. Phy­ sicians have discovered that the hard irinker usually turns to candy when -he.gives up alcohol. Certainly candy mrtnot bring hardship and privations to families that.iri the past suffered from the use o f strong drink. ' s N If you were not a t the Bangs lec­ ture Friday night and heart! that cel­ ebrated Speaker describe his exper­ ience o f twelve weeks in Europe dur­ ing the war you have lost one o f the good things promised on the course, it was well worth the price of a sea­ son ticket- Every number promises to ,)e as strong an attraction as was Bangs. ■ ■ t j John Kendrick Bangs in his lecture Friday night gave our reason exactly ,yhy President Wilson should attend jhe peace conference. In,Washington he President has been surrounded by politician? o f a. pacifist jnood and by going, abroad England and France will pilot him. about the battlefields where he may see fo r himself what the sav- sge Hun has done against civilization. When he visits'starving and ravishfed 3elgium he may become more pro­ nounced in his views o f ’ demanding a ■greater price in the penalty against Germany. The conference o f churchmen in Philadelphia some time ago developed an enormous waste o f funds contrib­ uted to the cause o f missions. This waste was due to the present policy o f church boards having mission work ars in fields where more than one de­ nomination was at work. Every de­ nomination has'its owq board.for mis­ sion work which is maintained at a heavy expense. In one field in China ;ome half dozen denominations have have a large number o£ workers that could be governed by one body. It has been proposed topierge the mission work o f the various churches under one management and thus make it possible to get more good out o f the money contributed fo r mission work. As it is a very large part o f it is paid to the head officers, which could be eliminated under the proposed plan. Catching Tuttle. A curious mode of catching turtle Is practiced In the Wcaf Iudit-s.

Christmas .stockings have coma down to us from the good St. Nicholas, who was a saint o f the fourth century of the Christian era and was born De­ cember 0, 312, In Lycia, Asia' Minor, He was regarded as especially the pa­ tron saint o f children, young girls and sailors. The Christmas stocking cus­ tom arose as follows; It seems that S t Nicholas, who was the archbishop of Myra, lived In the same town with an Impoverished no­ bleman who, because he had no por­ tions to give his daughters -and, In­ deed. no means with which to support them, wob about to sell them Into a life of sin. St. Nicholas, who was ac­ customed to dispense his large for­ tune In gifts of charity, resolved to res­ cue the young .women. _ As be ap-; proached their house, wondering how lie should proceed, the moon shone out and displayed an open window, In­ stantly St. Nicholas threw a purse of gold in -at this window Which, falling at the feet of the father of the girls, enabled him to portion his' oldest daughter. The second time St, Nich­ olas visited the house ho also was able to throw a purse of gold through an open window, thus providing for the portion o f the second daughter. On the third visit the father, watching for his benefactor, cast himself at the feet of the saint and cried; > “ Oh, St, Nicholas, servant o f God, why seek to hide thyself?” The saint made the father promise not to jreveal his benefactlous. From this habit o f bestowing gifts In secret and under the cloak of night arose the practice of putting.opt shoes or stock­ ings for the younger members of the family so that the good saint,would be able to fill tlLm without being spied on. ’ ■ ■■' STAR-BEAMS.
