James Doherty returned home on Tuesday of last week from Chicago where he spent several weeks at the Speedway hospital. "Jimmie" is feeling fine and has already resumed his duties at the Carey Electric shop. Word was received here the first of the week that while Rev. Sanger and his mother of Hebron were shopping in Chicago one day last week their car was stolen. In addition to the car they also lost their Xmas packages which they had just put into the car preparatory for their trip home. the old ones, an' new; Santy is comin' from Eskimo-land, to fill 'on with gold-dust, or saw-dust--or SAND! Hang up you stockin's, an* darn ev'ry hole--Santy is blazin' the* trail from the Pole! Sleigh-bells a-jingel, an' deers runnin' wild--Big auto-trailers, with PRESENTS high-piled!

Now this is a tale with a moral. Jim was a good boy. Jim was also a poor bey. So he quarreled with his girl just before Christmas and he didn't tidnk it was proper to send her a present. Jim knew his girl's birthday came in January, so he made up with her in February. All poor little boys should be like good Jim. Indications are you'll be able to do your Christmas shopping, slopping and swapping all at the same time this year. The passerby, seeing a man fishing off the bridge, stopped to chat. "Any luck yet?" he asked, pleasantly. Then was no reply, so the passerby edged closer. "Any luck yet?" he repeated. The fisherman withdrew his gaze from the cork bobbing on the water and answered: "No, but I'zn holding mj own." Big Butter States Minnesota not only makes more butter but also more high quality butter than any other state, said Dr. C. W. Larson, chief of the Bureau of Dairy Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, in a recent address before the annual meeting of the Minnesota Creamery Operators' and Managers' association at St. Paul, Minn. In 1920 the state manufactured the enormous total of 120 mil lion pounds, thereby leading all other states. Yet in the six years from 1920 to 1925, inclusive, according to Dr. Larson, Minnesota doubled her output until now it is ovy 245 million pounds, or one-seventh of the creamery butter made in the United States, the greatest butter-producing nation in the world. Five states--Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska and Ohio--ranking in the order named, now produce half the creamery butter of this country, ! * vr/!S?f « I f The Easiest Car for Her to Drive If you're choosing a low'priccd car that has to meet wifk fwwlnlne approval--btfuided bv Ac tXPCfi* eace of tens of thousands, and buy a Chevrolet!

Hetterauaa Motor Sales Phona iat VEST M Q U All^I T Y AT tO W ® O S T I was readln' a piece in the paper tother day about how unhappy us farmers was at Christmas time. It said we was snowed in and over-worked and lonesome and that city people ought to shed a tear for us during the happy Yuletide. I don't know about that, neighbor. We ain't so bad off. First thing, we don't have no Christmas shopping to do. I have heard theer were more murders the first part of December than any other time. We don't have no trouble that way because all we've got to do is to decide what we want in the cattylog and then fill out the order sheet, inclose a check and send it to Chicago. Nobody is ever «pake to cross. We don't have to spend the first week after Christmas writin' letters to people we forgot to send greeting cards to, tellin' 'em how glad we was to get theirs and did they get ourn? We don't hiiVe to tip people we never saw until a day or two before Christmas. In fact, we don't have to tip anybody except the mail man and he'd just as soon take it out in a chicken. We don't have to find out why in h.. 1 the new electric train won't run. • We don't have to take it bacl^ a couple of days later and exchange it for another train somebody has just returned. We don't have to go around to the neighbors and drink what is called Christmas cheer. We don't have to eat dinner with relatives. We kin just set at home and enjoy ourselves. We don't have to take one person's presents and slip around and give 'em to somebody else, like we hear, it's done in the big cities. Come to think it over, I don't understand why more people don't take Up farming long "bout this time of year. For good solid comfort there's nothing like Christmas on a snowedin farm. It's a kind friend who will go to a church bazaar and buy what you have made. But when this same kind friend sends it to you for a Christmas present you begin to doubt his generosity.
