CHRISTMAS OF
OTHER DAYS

What a vast difterenee th**r«• is in i
the Christmas of t«><!.*y from ihej
Christmas of our forefathers In tho e
days there was not the hurry-scurry
of shopping, and costly, somewhat use
less gilts given with the thought that
the receiver might give a liner one
in return. The gifts given in those
days were gilts of love, wholly in
keeping with the day celebrated, says
an exchange.
Kor many weeks and months did
mother spin, color and wind the yarn,
and knit on wooden needles or a hone
hook the warm neck scarf or mittens
for her loved one. ever} stitch hear
ing a message of love. And then as!
the time drew near how savory the!
kitchen smelled ever> time one en-!

mother had safely hidden away the 1
tender gingerbread and spice rakes.;
and the brittle molasses taffy, plates
of butterscotch and other candy rich;
in nut meats.
What happy times when the stock
ings of all sizes and almost all colors
were hung on the mantel shelf above
the wide lireplace. where old Santa
had no trouble at all to come down
and deposit the numerous things from
his pa< k in the dangling stocking*
Kveryone was remembered with
some sort of a gift none was forgot

goodies were devoured with as much

WESTERN LEAGUE BALL
TO BE RE-ESTABLISHED
KANSAS CITY. Dec. IM Haseball
in Ihe Western league is to be re
established on a pre-war basis at a j
meeting of the club owners to be held |
here soon after the annual meetings j
of the major leagues. Edward Han
lon, acting president of the league,
has announced that the call for a i
I meeting would be issued shortly.
Just what the make-up of the cir-j
cult will be for the 1919 season is not
known, but the organization will be
changed somewhat because of poor
patronage in some cities last season, j
it is regarded as a certainty that the j
league will resume operations next j
May.
Oklahoma City, according to all re
ports, will he retained in the league,
with Jack Holland at the head of the
club. The Joplin franchise, it Is ex- j
peeled, will be moved to Tulsa, Okla„
