A PRAYER.
Teach me, Father, how to go
* Softly as the grasses grow.
Hush my soul to meet the shock
Of the wild world as a rock;
But my. spirit, propped with
power,
Make as simple as a flower.
Let the dry heart fill its cup,
Like a poppy looking up.
Let life lightly wear her crown,
Like a poppy looking down
When: its heart is filled with
dew
And its life begins anew.
Teach me, Father, how to be
Kind and patient as a tree.
Joyfully the crickets croon
Under the shady oak at noon.
Beetle, on his mission bent,
Tarries in that cooling tent.
Let me also cheer a spot—
Hidden field or garden grot—
Place where passing souls can
rest
On the way and be their best.
—Edwin Markham.

Lawyers and soldiers are the

Liberty is from God, liberties

The bridge between joy and

Rozie's Santy Man
By IRENE BEACH

P rone.
“Maybe he be sick,” said the broth-
er, as he dusted carefully the array
of fruit arranged with Such a holiday
air in the narrow window of his shop.
“He come if he not sick. You wait,
Santy man no forget.” :
But Rosle in spite of her brother’s
encouraging words became vary impa-
tient. Finally she started in search of
the kind friend, who was none other
than the Santy of her street. Not the
.| real Santy of Christmas eve, but a man
who just pretended he was the same
jovial friend of holly and cheer and
wore a cloak and hat of red, faced with
fur, and carried instead of a long whip
to urge tired reindeer, a sign which
told of a wonderful toyshop just
around the corner. .
A week before Pietro had seen from
his little shop windows this same San-
ty man stagger and fall. Then both he
and Rosie had helped the stranger into
the fruit shop, where food and sympa-
thy had been generously given. Now,
it was the day before Christmas and
the stranger who each day had stopped
at Pietro’s little shop had failed to
‘| appear. :
“Maybe—he up the street some-
wheres,” the brother had called to
Rosie, “When you see heem, tell heem,
tomorrow we look for him to eat with
‘us. Yes?” y
Rosie nodded and went on down the
long avenue. There was a gentle snow
falling, just enough to add to the street
the touch of Christmas. But nowhere
_derful tales of toys, fairies and of the
real country of deep hills and red sun-
sets, i #4 4 Ti i
Suddenly she thought of something,
a something so different that it made
her heart go thumpty-thump. She
‘would go to the wonderful toyshop,
‘| just around the corner and see for her-
self, if her friend was there.
But not a tired, hurried clerk of the
shop had time to answer Rosie’s ques-
tions. Finally she approached a tall
gray-haired man standing in the center
of the long aisle. She felt certain he
would know something about the San-
. ty of her street.
‘Please, do you know our Santy
. man?”
“Who?” asked the man.
“The Santy man, who wore a red
: coat, cap and carried a sign?”
“No, Ldon’t. What is it you want to
_ buy, little girl?”
“I don’t want to buy nothin’. I'm
, Just lookin’ for the Santy man of my
street. He—" Then Rosie could say
{ no more. The lumps would stick in
her throat, no matter how hard she
swallowed.
Just what might have happened is
“hard to say, if a lady standing near
i hadn't heard what Rosie said and
wanted to help her. She knew exactly
what to do. }
An hour later, after seeing Pietro at
his little shop, Rosie rode away with
4 the lady, who was very beautiful, by
the way, in her big automobile, to the
hospital,” where the poor Santy had
been taken the night before.
It was a wondering, curious little
Rosie, who followed her friend down
the long, cool hall to the ward where
the sick Santy man lay. Timidly she
walked to the man’s beside. He saw
her. He held out his hand. Rose
grabbed it and held it close and fast
in her own little hands.
“Oh—I'm so glad you're found. Me
and Pietro love you so much. I never
would have found you if the beautiful
lady hadn’t—" i
But Rosie didn’t finish the sentences,
for Santy hadn't heard a word she was
saying. He was staring with deep,
strange eyes at the lady, who had
drawn nearer the sick man’s bed.
“Sis,” he whispered.
“Bob,” she answered,
There Rosie sat with shining eyes
and a little heart thumping and lis-
tened to the wonderful story of her
Santy man and the lady. Santybwas
none other than the lady’s brother,
whom she hadn’t seen sincs the day,
years and years ago, he ran away to
sea. And the lady? She was the beau-
tiful fairy of the toy-shop.
“Aad did you know all the time she
owned it?” :
“Yes.”
“Why didn’t you go and see her?”
“Bevause I was too poor, sick and
proud.”
Now, of course, like all stories where
fairies and Santy hold forth, every-
body was glad and lived happy ever
afterward. It was a wonderful day for
Rosie and Pietro.
And up and down Rosie’s street, too,
there was gladness; for the good news

The Factors Should Go to Favor Its

[Prepared by United States department of

There has been in the past much in-
difference on the part of consumers
with respect to the cleanliness of milk.
Too many of them desire to buy milk
at a low price and do not give any
consideration te quality. Dirty milk
may prove expensive as a gift, while

milk include clean, healthy cows kept
in light, well ventilated stables that.
may be easily cleaned; a well drained
barnyard: thoroughly sterilized utensils
and healthy milkers that milk «with
dry hands: a small top milking pail; a
separate house for handling the milk:
an abundant supply of pure water. The
temperature at which the milk is kept
is also an important feature, as bac-
terla multiply very rapidly when the
temperature is above BO @ F.
The milk should be cooled immediately
after milking to 50 degrees F. or lower
and stored until delivered at a low
temperature. J
An increasing demand for good, clean
milk among consumers is a gratifying
indication that there is a more general
realization of the importance of this
item. This demand has resulted in
more stringent regulations concerning
the sanitary conditions associated with
the milk supply... Compliance with,
these sanitary rules requires additional
care, attention and extra expense on
the part of the producer of the milk.
and, while this expense may not be
large, it is only fair that the consumer
should pay his share of the cost of im-
proving the quality of the milk. oe
A more serious consideration is the"
o
marked increase in the cost of produc: | :
tion which has resulted in recent years
from feed and labor problems. This in. "|.
crease is in keeping with the increase
in the cost of almost every commodity.
and the consumer must expect to pay
his portion of any legitimate increase
in the cost of production occasioned by
these conditions. . 0 :
On the other hand, there is need of
more attention to better management
on the average farm devoted to the pro-
duction of milk. The amount of milk’
produced per cow is frequently so low |
as to reflect seriously upon tlie business
ability of the owner. - A producer who |
makes no. systematic effort to lower
the cost of production by increasing the
average production of milk per cow is
entitled to little sympathy if he finds
the ‘business unprofitable. | The profits
yielded by a good cow often go to off-
set losses caused by poor cows in the
same stable. The keeping of records of
herd, the elimination of unprofitable
cows, the improvement of the herd
through selection of the best producers
and breeding them to a bull of dairy
merit and the selection of the best
heifers from such breeding are neces-
sary to put milk production on a sound
basis. Unless the producer does these
look, fit and wear.
