Crops have beon exceedingly I

very busy and prosperity seems
to reign in nil parts of the coun-

approaches all classes seem to
feel just u 1 ttle bit merrier and
have more of the Christmas spir-

years. Childien look forward

Christmas tokens and of having
the privilege and joy of giving

What would be the most suitable
articles for us to purchase for
our friends and children as gifts.
Are we to continue in the old-

them presents that will last long-
