But Mrs. Pennock was not thinking of (he fragrance nor of the beauty of this wealth of bloom as she gazed at" It. She was thinking of her poor neighbors and of her Inability to take them Christmas boxes as she had done for the past fifteen years. Not that Mrs. Pen nock's neighbors were actually poor. They were poo* only In comparison with her. Mrs. Pennock loved being neighborly with such people. In untold ways she lessened their everyd&y expenses by sending baskets of fruit from her orchard, and, vegetables from her garden. * For ra week before Ghristipas she would work with her cook making cookies. These were ber specialty-- delicious rich, fruit cookies. And she made puddings and pies for every household in the community. That left a few nickels extra in every father's pocket towards the skates for his boy or the ribbons for his girl. Everybody counted on Mrs. Pennock's goodies, now, for she had distributed them every year for fifteen years. That was what worried her. The neighbors might be expecting them.

Sire sighed and wiped a tear ftom her cheek. Just then she heard the voices of young people singing Christ-' mas carols under her windows. She listened tfs the old familiar songs rang dut one after the other. When stillness reigned again she closed her eyes and tried to sleep, but she heard whispers on the stairs, and a score of rudy faces appeared at her boudoir door. The neighbors' children stood there waiting for permission to enter. "Come in," called Mrs. Pennock, "and a Merry Christmas to you "all!" "Merry Christmas," shouted a score of voices, as a score of happy boys and girls crowded into the room, and Jim Larkin, president of the high school senior class, stepped forward as Spokesman for the rest. "I hope we are not intruding, Mrs. Pennock," he said. "Your nurse said we might come up to wish you a Merry Christmas, and a very happy New Year. Every family In the community is thinking of you and wanted to send something to make your Christmas happy. During so many years you brought happiness to all of us, and we wanted to take this opportunity of expressing to you our appreciation of what a wonderful neighbor you are. We know there Is nothing we can give you except our thanks, for you have^everything. But every boy and girl and mother and father has placed his name upon this card which we present to you." Mrs. Pennock took in her hand the beautiful hand-made booklet which Jim extended to her. Christmas angels were singing on the cover of It, and under the angels appeared In gold letters "Glory to God in the highest, and on, earth, peace, good pwill toward men." On the inside was beautifully printed "God giVes us friends and flowers, and makes friendship more beautiful even than the gardens, and for all seasons." Then followed the sixty-eight signatures of Mrs. Pennock's neighbors. "This is the most wonderful Christ mag present I have ever had," exclaimed the beautiful rich la^jr |a thanking the young people.

The Presidential campaign and Congressional elections over-shadowed the whole scene to the detriment of helpful and essential law-making. Uiu fortunately, there is no leader or ser of infiuenntial men and women that possess the power of bringing the Yulfctide spirit to a realization. Harmony is impossible whilevambiti in for high office and power hold sway over the hearts and mihdte of political figures. A variety, of answers would be given to an inquiry as to the causes of dis content and bitter strife. . If all the complaints' of all partisan zealots could be boiled in a cauldron the dregs, when analyzed, would provide the real basic material for tlie 1932 elections. The mournful witches of Macbeth never stirred a more noxious mess than the pot-boilers on Capitol Hill. The friction points include bi-partisan opposition to President Hoover's recommendations on international and domestic subjects; pre-mature rooster crowing by Republican spell-binders; Insurgent Republican Senators antipathy to Senator Moses, Republican, as evidenced in innumerable ballots for the Presidency of the Senate; Democratic suspicions of cooperation with the administration; dissatisfaction with chairmen of Republican and Democratic national committees; and nominating convention procedure. The Republican high command lias a first-rate problem in dissipating the concern of active party workers and keeping down melancholy predictions. The strategy board succeeded in increasing the number of delegates to j the nominating convention which j practically assures a - sufficiently powerful Hoover ticket. The G. O. P- s . eternal problem is to pick a strong j chairman and publicity staff which' must win the public confidence for the : party platform and the candidates. | The Democrats meet January 9, at Jie j Jackson Day dinner to discuss the war | plans and possibly reorganize. Thej chief stunt of both parties is to find 1 a graceful exit for Raskob and Fe.;sj without Jbreaking dbww lexisting i political machinery. The moratorium question is usually j considered "in connection with foreign governments' obligations to this country. Yet, there is a domestic phase cf the matter that may plague fiscal authorities. The Treasury department in its annual report to Congress reaffirmed its opposition to granting a general moratorium to borrowers of the Federal Farm Loan Bureau as advocated by legislative proposals. The Treasury says of this proposition, "delaying foreclosure would be likely to impair the moral of borrowers and give rise to wholesale delinquencies. Some Senator may utilize the Treasury's own words in opposition to extension of the collecting time from foreign nations. Senator Dill, Democrat, of Washington, has introduced a bill which sseeks to prevent Congressional "larre ducks" from obtaining refuge on the government payroll. The Dill measure would prohibit Federal jobs being assigned until after tw0 years to "deserving party workers" who lost out with the voters. Naturally, the bill will not receive heavy support for a legislator is always hopeful of an appointment when unsuccessful at the hustings. . Politicans are wondering what effect the punishment meted out to Representative McFadden, Republican, of Pennsylvania, will have on party regularity. McFaddten, now ranking member of the House Committee on Banking and for years its chairman, stigmatised President Hoover for his conduct on foreign loans. His party associates branded him as a libeller and took over his patronage so vital to the political machine in his district. Drummed out of his party, Mc- Fadden continues his vociferous rebellion against the Administration s "handling of the moratorium. . Congressional leaders have taken j advantage of the recess to sound out, late sentiment in their districts on; current problems. The President ha.- i called a number of legislators to thej White House during the lull in debate- j It is generally recognized that Mr.; Hoover will"-be obliged to show more consideration to his party followers at the Capitol than manifested in the j past. They will hold the key to his; political future for the Democrats j control the House and the Insurgent Republicans hold the balance of power in the Senate. The olive branch must be used in relations between the legislative and administrative branches if any legislation of merit is enacted. • «-?/*, V " *-" J , j i% 5a To our faithful old friends and mif dbefe* ished new friends we tender ••T> Hearty Christmas greetings : ^ T A May the New Year be for you i happy <y| «| and prosperous one and may it be our £ ^ p|yi|e^ to add to your success. ; ^ g ,Gall arid get one of our 0&lend&| Firestone Atwater Kent *i Famou* Cattle He*4>~ - The Tankervllle estate In the conn* ty of Northumberland, England, Is eel-' ebrated for Us herd of white wild cattle, which have been raised there for 700 years.
