The Exchange Bank \ ' ’ Cedarville, Ohio Boys and Girls Under Five A re Very Much A lik e In ' Choice o f Toys Christmas toys may be an educa­ tional force and help little children to develop their imaginations by offering them opportunities to express them­ selves in their play, according to Miss Medora Grandprey, instructor in home economics at the Ohio State Univer­ sity. Play equipment that can be used in a variety o f ways, she believes, aids in stimulating the child’s mind. Among the many kinds of playthings offering a means for developing the little tots’ creative abilitiea'are blocks, pencils, scissors, clay, sand boxes, paste and colored paper. ^ Many toys, such as wagons, trucks, dolts, trains, and boats offer a means of helping a youngster to obtain a richer knowledge of life. Through them they may even learn the elemen­ tary principles of transportation, marketing, housekeeping, and other ^specialized departments o f present day life. Children delight in animal toys, Miss Grandprey states, and they offer an easy means o f helping them to learn about the various forms o f life. Animal, books are also good and joy­ fully received by children. Little boys and girls under five years are very much alike in their choice o f playthings. Girls ehjoy mechanical toys, true’ s, and such sup­ posedly masculine play equipment as carpenter topis and miniature exca­ vating equipment;, while many Hoys hre as much interested in dolls, in tiny kitchen stoves, and in playing house as are girls. you cannot give in the thousands, you can give in, small sums.

A. Wallace, extension specialist in graim marketing at tHe OKfo State Univor- sity, who has recently analyzed cost figures from 144 companies operating 168 plants. Miscellaneous items, such as re­ ceipts from grinding, trucking, and ‘interest received, make up nearly a .fifth o f the. p1t»vntnm| fflteUnconmr-hi declares. The actual operating ex­ penses in handling $24,250,000 of sale* were 6.2 cents per dollar of sales. The addition of interest on outstand­ ing indebtedness, depreciation on fixed properties, and reserves or losses from bad accounts bring the total ex­ pense up to 7.7 cents per dollar of sales. Of this total expense, Wallace points out, tabor contributes 50 per cent, reserves for depreciation on plant, 12 per cent; power 8 per cent; taxes 5.4 per cent; and interest and insurance 414 per cent each. These* six items constitute 84.4 per cent o f the total expense, and the other 15 per cent is carried by repairs, sup­ plies, telephone and telegraph, truck expense, advertising, and miscellane­ ous items. In the future, he believes, with in­ creased grinding and mixing o f feeds, in trucking goods to and from the farm, and in. the increase-in the num­ ber of- commodities handled, labor costs will undobtedly rise. Iehem which tradition places as the herald of the Nativity. So many people ask, “What was the Star of Bethlehem?” that it seems appropriate to recount at this season sojiifi.jrf..Jhe.¥arious.:_*stronomical theories that have'been advanced to eccouAt for the origin of the part played by the star in the Christinas story. A brilliant meteor dashing across the sky Has been supposed by some to be the basis of the phenom­ enon,’ Meteors, however, are such There was also a conjunction of the planets Venus and Jupiter on May 8 , B. C. 6 , two years before the death of Herod; From this i t "wbuMTfoIIow that the Crucifixion took place on April_3, A. D. 33. It would aeem, However, that tlie conjunction in the constellation of Pisces already refer­ red to would have had the greater weight with the Magi. It is interesting to note that Stock- well In 1892 repeated Kepler’s calcula­ tions o f 300 years earlier and found nsientTrffairs that it hirdlyreemr itaitjm ^ .-C .-T ^Jupitar- and ^atum possible to give serious consideration to aucb an hypothesis. Some would have us believe that a special star appeared ifi the sky for this purpose, and have asked if such a phenomenon is at *11 possible astron­ omically. From time to time in the History of astronomy, there have been such outbursts of a star where before nothing visible to the naked eye was in evidence. A temporary star of this sort is known to astronomy as a nova, or new star., Among some of the most conspicuous exhibitions Of this sort was the bright star which appeared In the constellation of Cassiopeia in 1572 and was largely responsible for the celebrated career o f the Danish astronomer, Tycho Brahe. In more recent times, Nova Persd appeared as a brilliant star in the consteltation Purseus in 1901 and Nova Aqttilae to 1918. There is an account to aome an- cient Chinese record which, appears to refer to a nova or temporary new star occurring to B. C. 4. Another interesting theory that has been advanced if that the Star of Bethlehem may he interpreted as an unusual conjunction o f‘planets which, to thewise men of the East, may have had a peculiar astrological signifi­ cance. Searching astronomical tables, the great German astronomer Kepler, the 800th anniversary of whose death has been celebrated this year, found that there was an unusual conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn which occurred three times to the year B. C. 7 in the constellation of Pieces, the Fishes, This is a phenomenon which occur* only one* in ,800 year*, It i* believed that since thf.&lgn of the Fishes was of special significance to tho Jew*, Why should you give one second’s worry to any man or any gift when this capable and stylish stock is willing to erase every name from your list at $1 to $30 the name? .

These two major planets in close proximity would certainly make a noteworthy spectacle. The first o f ..these three conjunctions^occurred when the plan­ ets were seen in tho eart, four or five hours before sunrise. In the second case, the planets were visible all night. In the third instance, they were seen as evening stars in the west. In the last case, the phenom­ ena would hardly fit so accurately with the biblical narrative. No other conjunction o f Jupiter and Saturn oc­ curred nntll some 20 years after this time, and this would have been well beyond the boundaries o f this signi­ ficant configuration o f the Sign of the Fishes. As regards the conjunction of Jupi­ ter and Venus which occurred on May 8 , B. C. 6 , the two planets were only one moon breadth apart. This is about all the light that the astronomer can shed on any cosmic phenomena as supporting the tradi­ tional Star o f the Nativity. If one wishes to think, therefore, of the story as based upon some astronomical fact, it would appear that he mbst choose between the possible appearance o f a nova and the conjunction of the plan­ ets described above. However, for one who has a bit of poetic imagination, I think that the bright atar Sirius, mentioned at the beginning o f this article, rising as it does to the eastern sky early in the evenings at Yuletide, is quite a suffi­ ciently satisfying star to bring to mind each season the significant events of the first Christmas, n i> Hotel Chittenden Completely redecorated and remodeled . , , over $300,000 spent to making the Hotel Chittenden the logical choice for the traveler.
