babe a star radiance that lighted the wrld a song of triumph upon the ears and in the- hearts of men but the first christmas was a trying and a painful time mary and joseph were doubtless gossiped about by the wagging tongues of their small town they lived under a dictatorship in which human life was cheap their income was more than likely in the lower third of the nat ion when it came time for the baby they had to go on a forced trip to meet the demands of their government whether the baby lived or died was of no concern to the society in which they existed as far as their own people were concerned mary and joseph could make out for themselves there is pain in life there is a cross there is also a power available for those who care tq accept it it is the only force which can make the new world of our dreams come true for il alone is enough to eliminate the massed greeds fears and hatreds which wrecked our old world and to cure the chaos man has made how different history might have been if people and leaders of nations alike were stirred by the spirit of the crib to some other ambition than personal power and national expansion somehow and quickly we have got to re discover the adventurous faith that first led men to a star which lighting life from within may reach out to illumine the world to that song of triumph that can become a universal reality when it is expressed

post sensationni information of that kind is hardly fair to the farmer without the explan ation that in years just before the war prices were nbnormolly low during most of the thirties beef cattle prices in this country were at the lowest level in 25 years conditions started to improve with the first reduction in us tariffs in 1935 but it was not fairly well into the war period that farm prices generally approached normal levels no matter what consumers may think of that producers they should re member the vastly different situation that pre vailed not so nuinv years before the enormous

my name out of the paper the st thomas times journal recently car ried un editorial entitled keep my name out of the paper it dealt iith the continual re quest that editors- receive from pemons who have fallen foul of the law have- found them selves in trouble or have been up in court and want their names left out of the paper the st thomas paper quite correctly pointed out that such requests are the bane of every newpaper editors existence particularly since they very seldom have any effect there may have been a time when influences could be brought to bear on some sections of the press in matters of this kind but that time happily is long since past it is one of the most amazing phenomena of modern flies that everyone who gets into trouble has had bad luck has been framed or is the innocent victim of circumstances if the requests received each court day are to be believed no one is cver guilty of any thing- what transpiresbef6re the magistrate is all just one big mistake the people appearing there and sometimes being convicted are not whatqthey seem to be at all they were not drunk they did not really assault anyone the cheque they cashed and which bounced was not really rubber at all and so on ad infinitum and ad nauseam everything was just a terrible mistake the magistrate did not mean to be unfair of course but he just did not understand and if the story should get

punishment meted out are matters of public concern fhrm mechanization r one of the most danrcrous delusions of the times is that which assumes that increasing mechanization of agriculture offers a remedy for the growing pressure ot population on 5 dwindling capital of arable land serious students even so eminent a man as sir john boyd orr whose farne has spread over the whole world point out that there arc well over two thousand million people on the planet nnd not enough land to feed more than three- quarters of that number on the basis of pres ent production per acre that is the problem mechanization of agriculture has been one of the greatest blessings of the human race it has raised the standard of living of the farmer while cheapening the food of the cities but it has its limits the united states department of agriculture calculates that one man can now produce as many bushels of wheat as eight did in 1800 still more alarming is the fact that the agj ot working farmers increases steadily as fewcr young men remain on the land a farmer who has died of old age cannot drive even the finest tractor it is about time to wake up to facts within a very few years the united states will do no more than feed its own population the thought is commended to those who protest so loudly against the present high prices of food that the time is in sight when the diffi culty is not going to be to pay for food but to find food to buy have we made lite in cities so attractive that there will soon he not enough workers to feej the cities it begins to seem quite probable in
