CHRISTMAS
'TV- Christmas season is upon us.

Js ih most important anniversary In
thccalandcr year We reckon oilr time
itntW from that mlRhty event.
tt. is n o1cmn but sweet occasion
taS should be forever observed in that
airer. At the Christmas season our
ifercj;hts should turn for a while at
! upon the life and character of
HJnr whose birth we celebrate.
And if we do this our celebration of
Chriirtoins will be the ri(ht kind.
"Wc will forego undue feastinR and
Mr stores with those less fortunate
par stores with those less fertunate
than ourselves.
It is a beautiful old custom to give
?nfs7its nt Christmas but judgement
lixjKld be uod in the giving. There
is jwfhing in the Christ 3plrit in buy-
ing things we cannot afford to give
i ?.r.ple who do not want them.
O-nr gifts should be to the poor to
Aileron to the aged to those very
jm.t and dear to its md every gift
dwald be in the Christmas spirit.
.Vnd this Christmas season of nil
tl?s of the year is a season for so
rry and the most sober thoughts.
Tt is but a few days until the close of

During the Christmas season let us

'This is a time for solemn thought
we Tcpent but not n time for despon

Ksr should get comfoit and cheer and

Christmas is a good time a glad

And with Tiny Tim let us pray

THE VALUE OF A SMILE
A jury in Kansas City awaided a
bo $20000 for the loss of his ability
to smile. The boy climbed a tree and
thi'io he encountered a live wire im-
properly insulated It came in con-
tact with his check inflicting a pain-
ful wound which did not heal for
weeks and left a permanent injury.
The neryes or muscles which gov-
erned the power of smiling were de-
stroyed so that his attempt to smile
ended in a ghastly frown. When the
boy was called to the witness stand
and his attorney told him to face the
juiy and attempt to smile the verdict
was assured.
Twenty-thousand dollars was little
enough to receive as compensation for
the loss of the power to smile. Some
men have lost that power through
other than electrical causes and it has
damaged them much more than that
amount.
Even when the value is small it
is real-
But it is one's self that one renders
the greatest harm by sour looks. The
man who can no longer smile has
killed joy out of his own life-
PAYING HONEST DEBTS
No man who fails to pay his honest
debts can enjoy the fullest measure
of self respect or the respect of his
fellow men.
It is not intended to reflect against
the man uho is in debt. The man who
'docs not from time to time use his
i credit is a poor man indeed. Most
I good men use their credit both as a
matter of convenience and as a mat-

THE PANAMA CANAL

something to feel good over that the
raual is no longer operating at a loss

Irovn the canal this is so much to the

It is n small amount though when

rcsi merit would be expected ordinar-
ily to pay an annunl return of from
j)jroooono to $20000000.
For many years the canal earned
aery little. Interest charges alone
if they were considered would still
leave n big deficit. There would no
doubt be another deficit on account
of depreciation. It will take a long
period of larger earnings than the
rarml is yet capable of to break even
it the canal is to be considered n busi-
aess investment rather than a mili-
tary expense-
But no good man will swindle his
creditors.
He will either pay his debts when
due or relieve his creditors of any
ground for apprehension as to the
honesty of his intention to pay. The
man who pays or arranges to pay
is the equal of any man.
But the man who deliberately dod-
ges his debts is no man at all.
Everybody knows the fact and he
knows it as well as anybody else.
The man who does pay his honest
debts or if unable to pay conducts
himself so as to retain the confidence
of his creditors stands higher in the
confidence of everybody in every way
than the man who has never had oc-
casion to owe anything.

WOMEN AS JURORS
Women jurors are superior to men
jurors in dispensing justice accord-
ing to the conclusion of a Minnesota
judge after an investigation into the
work of women jurors in various sec
tions of the country.
He has also found out that hand-
some men do not affect women jurors'
judgement as much as pretty women
do men jurors; that women jurors
aie not so prejuuicea against corpor-
ations as men and that women jurors
almost always agree with each other
but are frequently lined up against
their male associates.
Judges in the Cleveland courts de-
clared they had found women juror3
more generally satisfactory in every
Kind of case than men
It will not be long until women are
Mrving as jurors in every State and
the sooner the better.
Spellbinding among criminal law'
yers will continue to paint their
clients with wings and exhaust their
vocabularies of "sob stuff" but the
women will not be fooled.
The bootlegger the speed maniac
the gambler "the hijacker and the
murderer will have a rough road to
travel when good women sit in the
jury box. The women will not be
deceived by the crocodile tears of
the accused or the oratory of his
counsel.
